Robert Burns (1759–1796), the great Scottish people's poet, was born into a poor farming family. Influenced by his mother (a folk singer), he developed a deep love for literature from a young age, especially Scottish dialect poetry and English poetry. At the age of 15, he began writing poems while working, but he passed away at a young age, spending only 37 years on earth. Like a bright comet streaking across the sky, though his life was brief, he left behind countless beautiful poems, truly a treasure of humanity.
365 Poems for Burns' Birthday covers all aspects of life: birth and death, love, friendship, happiness, truth, conscience, youth, universal love, religion, honesty, honor, and more. His poems are profound in thought, filled with philosophy, thought-provoking, and soul-stirring, offering us enlightenment about life.
The translator believes that these poems reflect the poet's loyalty to love, his faithfulness to friends, his passion for life, his yearning for freedom, equality, and universal love, his pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty, and his exploration of life. These poems can broaden our horizons, enlighten our wisdom, refine our character, purify our souls, and enrich our lives. Moreover, the language of the poems is concise, refined, fluent, and excellent, with every word like a pearl, bringing us aesthetic pleasure.
The translator considers 365 Poems for Burns' Birthday to be a treasure trove of shining wisdom, a precious spiritual wealth of humanity. If Burns' poetry were a crown, then 365 Poems for Burns' Birthday would be the pearls adorning it.
The purpose of this book is to help readers with a certain level of English in China understand and appreciate Burns' Birthday Poems, hence the English-Chinese parallel format.

Pronunciations of Scottish dialects and archaic English in the poems are also provided with modern English translations.
During the publication of this book, we are deeply grateful to Mr. Steven Samuels, a British expert, and Ms. Luo Pingyan, the editor, for their enthusiastic guidance and assistance. Due to the limited ability of the translators and annotators, if there are any shortcomings in the translations and annotations, we sincerely hope that fellow scholars and readers will kindly offer corrections.
