A Lyrical Cookbook: Gastropoetics in 'Pure Offerings in the Mountains'
2024
Overview
Article Abstract: This article offers a holistic study of a lyrical cookbook named Pure Offerings in the Mountains ( Shanjia qinggong 山家清供) from the Southern Song period, authored by Lin Hong 林洪 (fl. 1224–1263), a Rivers and Lakes poet ( jianghu shiren 江湖詩人). It cuts across the disciplines of literary history, aesthetics, and material culture to provide a unique perspective on gastronomy in literature. Adopting the concept of \"gastropoetics,\" the article contextualizes Pure Offerings and Lin Hong's approach to writing about food. It not only explores the aesthetics and poetics in gastronomic writings but also examines its autobiographical nature and the lyrical expressions used therein. This in-depth analysis of both gastropoetics and the lyricism found in Pure Offerings reveals how Lin employed distinctive combinations of recipes and poetry to express his views on politics, society, ethics, and literature.
