This book is the first comprehensive study of Yuan Zhen’s (779–831) twelve New Music Bureau poems in comparison with those of Bai Juyi (772–846). It argues that Yuan’s poems are logically connected by music, ritual, and benevolence, and that he uses them as memorial to revive the Western Zhou order.
