Selfless Offspring. Filial Children and Social Order in Medieval China.
Honolulu. University of Hawai'i. 2005. Stock ID #167474 "Both Western and Chinese intellectuals have long derided filial piety tales as an absurd and grotesque variety of children's literature. Selfless offspring offers a fresh perspective on the genre, revealing the rich historical worth of these stories by examining them in their original context: the tumultuous and politically fragmented early medieval era (AD 100-600)." - Publisher's description.
