<h3>What didn’t fit in the book</h3>
Check out <a href="https://zompist.wordpress.com/category/china/">the China posts on my blog</a>, which includes translations from Old Chinese, reviews of Chinese novels, and other stuff that didn’t quite fit in the book.
<p>Some of my favorites:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://zompist.wordpress.com/2015/09/18/kids-these-days/">A 2300-year-old complaint about the godawful new music</a>
<li><A href="https://zompist.wordpress.com/2015/04/24/a-white-horse-is-not-a-horse-of-course/"> A white horse is not a horse, of course</a>
<li><a href="https://zompist.wordpress.com/2015/06/21/dining-with-zuo/">A cinematic poem by Dù Fǔ</a>
<li><a href="https://zompist.wordpress.com/2015/10/14/ballad-of-mulan/">The Ballad of Mùlán</a>
</ul>
<h3>Maps</h3>
<a href="chinamaps.html">Here's a bunch of maps</a>, especially for Kindle users.
<h3>What do I read next?</h3>
If you want more <b>history</b>, I highly recommend Frederick Mote’s <i>Imperial China 900-1800</i>. If you have a particular period, read the appropriate book in the Harvard <i>History of Imperial China</i>, or read all six. See Smith, Kuhn, Brook, Rowe in my bibliography.
<p>For modern China, see Fairbanks and Spence in my bibliography. For Chinese linguistics, start with Norman; for Old Chinese, Pulleyblank.
<p>Even better, read the classics yourself! Some of my reviews:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://zompist.wordpress.com/2015/06/17/golden-lotus-2-the-lotusing-everybody-dies/">The Golden Lotus</a>
<li><a href="https://zompist.wordpress.com/2015/06/07/lu-xun/">Lǔ Xùn</a>
<li><a href="https://zompist.wordpress.com/2015/04/13/three-kingdoms/">Three Kingdoms</a>
<li><a href="https://zompist.wordpress.com/2015/04/04/judge-dee/">Judge Dee</a>
<li><a href="https://zompist.wordpress.com/2015/01/19/uproar-in-heaven/">Uproar in Heaven</a>
</ul>
<h3>Great resources</h3>
Sources page: coming soon.
<ul>
<li>My page on <a href="http://www.zompist.com/yingzi/yingzi.htm">writing English Chinese-style</a> is another way of approaching the Chinese writing system.
<li>My <a href="http://www.zompist.com/phrases3.html">Chinese phrasebook</a> gives you the sentences you really need, or that will get you put in jail, hard to say.
<li>For learning hànzì, I made <a href="http://www.zompist.com/flash-hanzi.html">these Web-based flash cards</a>. Or maybe you’d like to see <a href="http://www.zompist.com/faye.html">Faye Wong lyrics</a>? Or this <a href="http://www.zompist.com/chinacult.html">Chinese culture test</a>?
<li>This <a href="http://www.hnmuseum.com/hnmuseum/whatson/e_exhibitions/mwd/index.html">virtual tour of the Mǎwángduī tombs</a> is pretty amazing.
<li><a href="http://ctext.org">The Chinese Text Project</a> - The actual texts, in traditional or simplified characters, of a huge number of Old Chinese books. Many but not all are translated. Also contains a very useful dictionary.
<li>A bit old-fashioned— it’s all done with low-res images— but <a href="http://www.zhongwen.com">zhongwen.com</a> is still useful for tracking down characters.
<li><a href="http://www.chinese-poems.com">Chinese Poems</a>— a nice selection of mostly Táng poetry, in English and Chinese.</a>
<li>I found this <a href="http://uwch-4.humanities.washington.edu/~WG/~188/Required%20Readings/Shanglin%20Fu_Sima%20Xiangru.pdf">discussion of Hàn-period <i>fù</i></a>, with extensive quotations from Sīmǎ Xiāngrú, useful.
<li>The <a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/index.htm">Marxists Internet Archive</a> has many relevant texts— I used it for Máo and Lǔ Xùn.
<li>Here is James Matisoff's <a href="http://stedt.berkeley.edu">Sino-Tibetan Etymological Dictionary</a>. And here's <a href="http://www.zompist.com/numbers.shtml">my page of numbers from over 5000 languages</a>.
</ul>
<h3>Errata</h3>
<ul>
<li>If I knew of any now, I’d be correcting them in the draft!
