Features: Han Yu is another important poet of the Tang Dynasty following "Li Du." Han Yu's poetry has two prominent characteristics: one is the artistic realm of "severe, heavy, extraordinary, and perilous"; the other is the literary style of prose-like language. Some of his sentences are straightforward and simple, while others deliberately oppose symmetry and balance to restore the beauty of archaic, robust, and irregular elegance. Han Yu's poetry has had a significant influence on Song Dynasty poetry. This book selects over 90 poems of Han Yu, encompassing the essence of his poetry. It is one of the "Chinese Classical Literature Readings Series."
