Abstract 摘要
The complilation of this compendium was first suggested to me by Professor Jerry Norman, who continued to offer encouragement as the work proceeded. I have also received numerous comments and suggestions from Professor Axel Schuessler. The help of both these individuals was invaluable to me, but they are in no way responsible for any weaknesses or errors which remain.
Publication of this monograph was jointly subvened by the Office of the Vice President for Research and the Center for Asian and Pacific Studies at the University of Iowa. It is a pleasure to acknowledge their generous suppot.
