In his essay, “Interpreting Qiang Zhongzi in the Confucian Aesthetic Tradition,” Thomas Clarke Jackson explores the poem’s themes of romance, family, and female subjectivity through a Confucian lens. The study aims to bridge the gap between ancient Chinese thought and contemporary philosophical interpretation and, in doing so, provide insights and resources that can help us to reimagine our understandings of romance and family in the modern world.
