The author's main idea is that Chinese language is heavily impacted by the historical development of other forms of expression such as literature, dance, music, and theater. She skillfully explores the relationship between and among these media and sketches a compelling framework that can ignite the imaginations of readers within and outside of academia. The general reader of history will certainly find a satisfying amount of information about Chinese cultural form, its history, and language. A scholarly reader will be challenged to consider and perhaps carry on an analysis of the thoughts that the author presents.
In all, this is a very good work.
