O RYTÍŘSKÉ LITERATUŘE.

- Abstract
This text is divided into three literary plans: (mostly lyric) poetry, (mostly epic) prose and drama. Prose should be regarded as a mainstream genre in this topic since poetry begins to pay attention to Knight-Errant in its secondary meaning developed from belonging to a subgroup of the original traditional aristocracy, i.e. honesty and militancy, from Six Dynasties. It began to be constituted as a social group almost at the very end of Chinese antiquity during the Han Dynasty’s reign (206 BC – 220 AD). In the previous period at the end of the Warring States, they were individuals rather than a social group. In drama, chivalry began to appear only during the Song Dynasty’s reign (960–1279). At the same time, I follow the changes in the literature about Chinese knights, understood in this text not as the literature of knights, but fiction about knights throughout the classical period of Chinese history, i.e. until the beginning of the 20th century. The paper is conceived as a systematic introduction to the topic based on the interpretation of primary sources and the latest secondary literature. An example supplements the treatise on the development of this genre in Czech translation.
