Features: Love is a beautiful flower in human life. Almost everyone has their own love story, and every heart has experienced the tremors of romantic love. For this reason, poetry throughout history has always celebrated love as a passionate theme. In the vast garden of ancient Chinese poetry, the songs of love have bloomed exceptionally fragrant and radiant. Ancient Chinese love poems have a long history, abundant works, and a wide range of authors. Moreover, due to the immense popularity of this theme, it has a distinct characteristic: it has always developed in two systems—folk creation and literary creation. Among ancient Chinese poetry, love poems were among the first to shine with brilliant brilliance. As early as the 11th century BC, the first comprehensive collection of Chinese poetry, the Book of Songs, began to emerge. In its essence, the "State Airs," the largest proportion and highest achievement, are love songs that celebrate romance. This book selects works about romantic love between men and women, while content related to marriage is excluded.
