Features: "Reading three hundred poems of Tang poetry will not make you write poetry, but it will make you appreciate it," is an old proverb. Whether reading this "Three Hundred Love Poems" can also complete the upper and lower sentences is uncertain: but without selecting three hundred poems, it is probably impossible to gain a relatively comprehensive and clear understanding of the vast ocean of classical love poetry from three thousand years. It must be known that in the garden of ancient Chinese poetry, the blooming period of love poetry is the longest. Although the themes of love poetry are often lacking in the meeting of lovers, newlyweds, beautiful dreams, and steadfast vows, many works depict the sorrows of parting, the grievances of widows and abandoned men, the destruction of happiness, and the shattering of the heart. The tragic and sorrowful beauty is another moving charm of ancient Chinese love poetry.
