| | Prose Synopsis - China Style |
 | | Under the influence of Records of the Historian,much historical prose was created in the Eastern Han Dynasty, bestrepresented by Ban Gu's Chronicles of the Han Dynasty. |
 | | Their works were written in the form of jottings andincluded a myriad of subject matters. |
 | | Among these, those taking exotic scenery andlandscapes as the subject are original in style- for example, Ding Ling's"America as I See it," Xiao Qian's "A Trip to America," Wang Meng's"Jottings from a Trip to Germany and America," Mu Qing's "Under theLeaning Tower," Liu Baiyu's "Beautiful Seine," and Wei Junyi's"Homesickness"- all were written with great craftsmanship. |
