What is It Representative Texts and Authors from Asia Asia, the largest continent in the world, has a vast literary tradition in terms of scope and length of existence. Literature in the Eastern hemisphere prospered and mirrored the developments in religion, war, and politics. It is wise to study the Asian literature by geographical region. East Asia China, one of the world’s cradles of civilization, has started its unbroken literary tradition in the 14th century BCE. The preservation of the Chinese language (both spoken and written), has made the immeasurable prolonged existence of their literary traditions possible. It has retained its reputation by keeping the fundamentals of its identity intact. Poets like Du Fu, Li Po, and Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the finest era of Chinese literature, has produced world-renowned literary works. Chinese writers in modern times are still creative and productive and have kept the Chinese literary tradition prosperous. • Du Fu He is also known as Tu fu. According to many literary critics, he was the greatest Chinese poet of all time. He wrote the poem “The Ballad of the Army Cats” which is about conscription—and with hidden satire that speaks of the noticeable luxury of the court.
