Biography of Yu Xin
by Lu Tongqun
About This Novel
This book is a systematic study of Yu Xin's family background, career, and thoughts, and provides a new interpretation of his works. This book has three major contributions to the study of Yu Xin: First, through careful and incisive textual research, it corrects some errors in the chronology of Yu Xin written by Ni Fan. Second, through internal evidence and interpretation of allusions, it is determined that works such as "Ai Jiangnan Ode" and "Dead Tree Ode" were written in the early years of Yu Xin's arrival in the north, rather than in his later years. Third, a new interpretation of the ideological themes of works such as "Ai Jiangnan Ode" and "Xiaoyuan Ode" is held. It is believed that these works do not express thoughts about hometown, but are works to seek officialdom and express complaints.
