Book excerpt: China has historically been a "land of poetry", and classical poetry is a marvel of traditional Chinese culture. As early as 3,000 years ago, our ancestors created excellent poems represented by the "300 Poems". Since then, every historical era has produced fruitful poetic creations, many of which have become popular and have been recited to this day. This series of "Appreciation of Chinese Classical Poetry" selects the best works of the most representative poets and lyricists in history and provides detailed and popular translations and commentaries in an attempt to introduce the most precious cultural treasures created by ancient Chinese people to contemporary readers at home and abroad. The Book of Songs, represented by the "National Winds", and the Chu Rhetoric, represented by the "Li Sao", have had a far-reaching influence on the poetry world of the later generations of Chinese poets, both in terms of their ideological contents and artistic techniques. Chinese poetry reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, presenting what later generations called the "Sheng Tang Meteorology" and "Youthful Spirit", and it is not difficult to see from poets such as Li Bai and Du Fu, and from the poems they left behind.

Encompassing the spiritual, philosophical, political, mystical, and erotic strains that have emerged over millennia, this broadly representative selection also includes a preface on the art of translation, a general introduction to Chinese poetic form, biographical headnotes for each of the poets, and concise essays on the dynasties that structure the book.

Download or read book Classical Chinese Poetry written by David Hinton and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this groundbreaking collection Classical Chinese Poetry, translated and edited by the renowned poet and translator David Hinton, a new generation will be introduced to the work that riveted Ezra Pound and transformed modern poetry. The Chinese poetic tradition is the largest and longest continuous tradition in world literature, and this rich and far-reaching anthology of nearly five hundred poems provides a comprehensive account of its first three millennia (1500 BCE to 1200 CE), the period during which virtually all its landmark developments took place. Unlike earlier anthologies of Chinese poetry, Hinton's book focuses on a relatively small number of poets, providing selections that are large enough to re-create each as a fully realized and unique voice. New introductions to each poet's work provide a readable history, told for the first time as a series of poetic innovations forged by a series of master poets. From the classic texts of Chinese philosophy to intensely personal lyrics, from love poems to startling and strange perspectives on nature, Hinton has collected an entire world of beauty and insight. And in his eye-opening translations, these ancient poems feel remarkably fresh and contemporary, presenting a literature both radically new and entirely resonant, in Classical Chinese Poetry.

Download or read book Oh Let Me Return written by Ha Poong Kim and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of nature poems of China includes nearly 250 poems by thirty-three poets over two millennia. Part One provides selections from the two oldest anthologies: the Shi Jing ("Classic of Songs") and the Chu Ci ("Songs of the South"). Included in this part are folk songs of ancient China, as well as two long poems by Qu Yuan (340-278 BCE), the first known poet of China. Part Two begins with Tao Yuanming of the Eastern Jin (317-420). It includes not only the well-known poets of the Tang (618-906) and Song (960-1279) periods, such as Wang Wei, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Su Shi, and Lu You, but also over twenty lesser known poets. Traditionally, there are two genres of nature poems in China: tianyuan shi (field/ garden poems) and shan shui shi (mountain/ water poems). These poems are often read in light of the Daoist philosophy. However, no philosophical understanding of nature is necessary to appreciate what these nature poets "sing." The poems in this collection are not ordinary lyrical songs but songs of longing in which the reader may hear the life spirit's protest against the oppression of human civilization. In his long poem Oh, Let Me Return, Tao Yuanming sings his longing for return to nature, away from "the net of dust." Subject: Poetry, Chinese History, Chinese Poetry, Asian Studies]
