I am indebted to many colleagues and friends for their encouragement
to continue with this work. In particular I would like to thank Charles
Aylmer, Anne Cheng, Glen Dudbridge,
Geoffrey Lloyd, Göran Malmqvist,
David McMullen, John Moffett, Michael Nylan,

References to classical texts are to the
Shisan jing zhushu of Ruan Yuan
(1815); for the Standard Histories they are to the punctuated editions of
the
Zhonghua shuju of Beijing, with references to other editions where
this is desirable.
Figures follow proper names, as given in my
Biographi-
cal Dictionary, so as to distinguish, e.g., between three men called Wang
Shang
王商; Wang Shang (1), Chancellor 29, died 25 BCE;
Wang Shang
(2), Marshal of State, died 12 BCE; and Wang Shang (3), author of
fu,
dates unknown.
