Please join us for a hybrid event with Baiheng Qian, a PhD Candidate in Classical Chinese Literature at Sun Yat-sen University (Guangzhou, China). Her talk examines women's ci poetry and cultural transformation in the mid-to-late Ming dynasty (1522-1644), a period shaped by tensions between hedonistic indulgence and moral rigor. The talk should appeal to anyone interested in poetry, women writers, and Chinese culture, literature, and history.
