Cantonese Literature from the Late Qing to the Republican Era: On Liao Entao’s Xixiao ji
Activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series /Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Culture and Arts Festival Library Tie-in Activities
| Date: | 2024/11/24 (Sunday) |
| Time: | 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. |
| Venue: | Hong Kong Central Library (Lecture Theatre, G/F) |
| Description: | The Cantonese poems in the Xixiao ji by Liao Entao (1865–1954; style name Fengshu) are in strict poetic metre and formal tone patterns, while the Cantonese vocabularies used are rather lively and witty. These poems, thus, are catchy and memorable among Cantonese readers. In fact, the Xixiao ji does not belong to a new genre, but it stems from Cantonese literature with a long-standing history. This lecture introduces some pieces from the Xixiao ji, as well as explores the origin and evolution of Cantonese literature. |
