This book explores metonymic patterns in Li Bai’s poetry from a cognitive poetic perspective and offers new insights into the use of metonymies in poetry more widely. Focusing more specifically on Annotations to the Annals of the Complete Collection of Li Bai compiled by A Qi, it sheds light on the poetic style of one of the most celebrated poets of China’s Tang Dynasty (610-907 AD).Adopting corpus-based and introspection methods, this book builds a metonymy identification procedure that takes into account the social and cultural context and the stylistic characteristics of Tang poetry, classifies the metonymies into different categories, and examines their roles and functions. The author reveals how Li Bai’s metonymies reflect the poet’s evolution as his style shifts from romanticism to realism. She also reflects on how they act as a lens through which readers can learn about hierarchical structures, wine, dress and agriculture in the Tang Dynasty. Approaching Li Bai’s poetry from a fresh angle, this volume contributes to the study of classical Chinese literature and offers implications for the appreciation, translation and teaching of Li Bai’s poetry.

The monograph represents a Cultural Cognitive Linguistic endeavor into the field of Chinese literary research, exploring how an analysis informed by Cognitive Linguistics can effectively tease out culturally significant patterns in the works of Li Bai, one of the most eminent poets in Mid-Imperial China. The work offers deep insight into the conceptual patterns that underlie Li Bai's poetic verses that not only reflect, but further shape the Chinese cultural thinking for generations.
