"Describes the commemoration within Chinese literature and culture of the ancient southern kingdom of Wu, which collapsed in 473 BCE. This book, through an analysis of the history of Wu as recorded in ancient Chinese texts and then of its literary legacy, illuminates the remarkable cultural endurance of this powerful but short-lived kingdom"--Provided by publisher.

Scholarship on early Chinese thought has long tended to treat texts as mere repositories of ideas rather than as meaningful objects in their own right. Not only does this approach present an idealised account of China’s intellectual past, but it also imposes artificial boundaries between textual and philosophical traditions. As the first study to treat text as a cultural phenomenon during the Warring States period, this book demonstrates the interplay among the material conditions of text and manuscript culture, writing, and thought. Through close readings of philosophical texts excavated at Guōdiàn, it analyses crucial strategies of meaning construction and casts light on the ways in which different communities used texts to philosophical ends. Meyer thus establishes new understandings of the correlation between ideas, their material carrier, and the production of meaning in early China.
