At Wind&Bones, we have a long-standing fascination with Liu Xie’s Wenxin diaolong (文心雕龍), or The Literary Heart and the Carving of Dragons. This extraordinary Chinese treatise on the art of writing offers profound insights into what it means to create with words and images on the page. In this project, we are putting Liu’s ideas to work, to see what they can do for us.
We’re a diverse group of writers, four from China and two from the UK, writing in English and Chinese.
We’re getting together to explore the Wenxin diaolong as a source of insight into the arts of writing.
The Wenxin diaolong is a medieval Chinese text on the art of literature.
We’re grateful to be funded by a British Council Connections Through Culture grant.
We will produce six new literary works, translated into both Chinese and English.
