Introduction
Throughout Chinese literature, the concept of "home" is a powerful and deeply intimate cultural motif. Evoking memories of childhood and nostalgia, family traditions, village life, green fields and budding streams, home is forever associated with the individual, and its influence on Chinese art, literature, and culture, resonates with themes of longing, displacement, and eagerness to return to one's native place. This collection of essays provides an outstanding overview to the motif of home in Chinese literature and culture, and helps the reader to gain a deeper appreciation of this key concept in the Chinese literary and cultural tradition.
