Wilt L. Idema Bücher
Wilt L. Idema beschäftigt sich mit der reichen Tradition chinesischer populärer erzählender Balladen und der chinesischen Frauenliteratur der vormodernen Zeit.

Durch seine Übersetzungsarbeit macht er die Schönheit und Komplexität chinesischer Poesie und Dramatik zugänglich und bereichert die literarische Landschaft um neue Perspektiven.

The resurgence of Chinese popular religion since the 1980s has led to the revival of precious scrolls used in rituals and entertainment, particularly in the economically advanced Wu-dialect regions and the impoverished areas of Western Gansu. These scrolls, once suppressed, are now being performed, collected, edited, and published, highlighting their significance in China's Intangible Cultural Heritage. This revival reflects a broader cultural renaissance and the reclamation of traditional practices in contemporary society.
