Features: Yu Guangzhong, originally from Yongchun, Fujian, was born in Nanjing, Jiangsu in 1928 and also calls himself a Jiangnan person. In 1974, he published White Jade Melon, which is considered a work where his emotions, once superficial, gained depth with the accumulation of life experience. Subsequent poems feature a greater emphasis on tracing tradition, nostalgia, and imitation, with more historical themes. He pursues a state of enlightenment akin to Zen, purification, and a aesthetic taste for tranquility and harmony. Yu Guangzhong writes poetry and prose, excels in translation and criticism, and over the past three decades, his style has evolved, publishing nearly forty monographs with a profound influence. This book collects several of Yu Guangzhong's poems and essays to delight the readers.
