Features: This book is one of the "Greater China Classics" series, selecting eighty-two of Ruan Ji's "Poems on Contemplation." The poet expresses his profound "laments on life" in a graceful and ethereal style. Through various symbolic techniques such as historical allusions, mythological tales, imagery of flying birds, and aesthetic distance, he transforms the tangible into the intangible, making the hardships and trials of life appear ethereal and even carefree in the poet's portrayal. This book provides a model for later poets to express their emotions and ideals, and is hailed as a "masterpiece of its era." It is a bilingual English-Chinese edition.
