Grand Canal, Great River

The Travel Diary of a Twelfth-Century Chinese Poet

Trans. Philip Watson
Poet Lu You set out in 1170 from his hometown in Shaoxing on China’s east coast on an 1,800-mile journey along the Grand Canal and Yangzi River, to take up an administrative position in the west of the country. With contemporary images, and modern photographs and commentary, this translation of his travelogue recalls the landscapes, places and people he encountered as well as the rapids and gorges of the route.
