Features: The "Tang Shi Poetry Collection," a thick volume of over a thousand pages, is the life's work of Tang Shi. He kept it by his pillow. I think it's impossible for a poet to reread their own works, but the gentle caress of the book, day and night, is enough to comfort his remaining years. It's evident that the poet held these two-volume collection in high regard. In Tang Shi's poetic creation, there is also a notable phenomenon: his Chinese characteristics of neoclassicism are often expressed through poetic forms introduced from the West—such as the sonnet form. It is sometimes referred to by critics as a long lyrical poem that embodies the characteristics of Tang Shi's poetic style.
