For many years, the oral performing and dramatic literatures of China from 1200 to 1600 CE were considered some of the most difficult texts in the Chinese corpus. They included ballad medleys, comic farces, Yuan music dramas, Ming music dramas, and the novel Shuihu zhuan. The Japanese scholars who first dedicated themselves to study these works in the mid-twentieth century were considered daring. As late as 1981, no comprehensive dictionary or glossary for this literature existed in any language, Asian or Western. A Glossary of Words and Phrases fills this gap for Western readers, allowing even a relative novice who has resonable command of Chinese to read, translate, and appreciate this great body of literature with an ease undreamed of even two decades ago. The Glossary is organized into approximately 8,000 entries based on the reading notes and glosses found in various dictionaries, thesauruses, glossaries, and editions of works from the period. Main entries are listed alphabetically in the pinyin romanization system. In addition to glosses, entries include symbolic annotations, guides to pronunciation, and text citations. The result is a broadly useful glossary serving the needs of students of this literature as well as scholars researching Jin and Yuan language and its usage.

Outside Protocols

Moona begins with the awakening of a self-absorbed young professor named Sam Johnson one drunken evening on a remote beach on Hood Canal, Washington. Looking into the twilit sky, Sam is suddenly overcome with joy as he fully comprehends the utter meaninglessness of his life and the freedom this brings to live it fully. Moona then travels back and forth through time, showing us vignettes from Sam's early childhood, teen years, ribald college and military service years. Moona then moves into a future of political turmoil and climate change during which Sam's extended family retreats to the beach cabin where he first awoke. Moona even takes us on a brief sortie to the year 30,234 and then back again. Moona is a collection of moments -- the kind that stay with you always and, in the end, comprise the full measure of your life.
