Features: The release of the Tang Poetry Photography Edition and the Song Ci Ancient Painting Edition is both a response to the age of visual culture and a continuation of tradition. The connection between images and poetry can inspire us to explore their relationship from multiple perspectives. Similar studies across cultures and time have been humorously referred to by Mr. Qian Zhongshu as "old feuds in the theoretical world." Compared to existing versions, the features of this book are more apparent. In terms of the selection of poems, while respecting the classics, the editors have made significant adjustments, focusing more on works with strong visual elements to accommodate the illustrations. More importantly, pairing modern photographic images with famous Tang Dynasty poems is a first in the publishing industry. In the Tang Poetry Photography Edition, we can also explore a different comparative reading approach. When images and poetry interpret each other, the appended critical annotations from various historical periods provide a unique interpretive method. Thus, when opening this book, not only does our sensory world experience a near-holographic enjoyment, but in the interplay of poetry and rational interpretation, a polyphonic auditory effect is also formed. In the face of such sound and image charm, our senses will become exceptionally acute.
