Chinese

This directory contains things that I used to put under literature, but which sufficiently developed a life of their own that I decided to put them in their own little corner. I moved them here also because to read them, you'll often need a browser that's capable of reading Big5 encoded text, and I wanted to separate that from the rest of the pages here.

Here's what I've put here:

A Classical Chinese Primer.
An Elegy For My Grandfather.
My translations of some T'ang dynasty poems.
An Etymological Dictionary of Written Chinese.
