Features: This book is based on our publication "100 Masterpieces of Tang Poetry" and includes 100 exquisite illustrations, with additional annotations and poet introductions, making it suitable for learning and collecting. Chinese Tang poetry is brilliant, profound, and lofty, embodying the essence of Chinese culture. Familiarizing oneself with and reciting some Tang poems can often cultivate temperament, enhance quality, and leave a lifelong impression with innumerable benefits. This book selects 100 well-known Tang poems and explains them in a relaxed and novel format. Therefore, it serves as both a beautiful collection and a helpful tool for students to better understand and recite Tang poetry.
The book is divided into four parts:
1. Original Poems and Annotations. We have selected an ancient painting that matches the theme of each Tang poem as an illustration. Additionally, some poems include author biographies and portraits of the poets.
2. "Poetic Prose." We have rewritten the Tang poems as prose, integrating explanations into the narrative. This approach allows for a holistic understanding of the poems.
3. "Poetic Appreciation." You can find answers to what makes each poem great and how to appreciate it here.
4. "Poetic Stories." These may be stories about a particular poem, a poet, or general poetic knowledge. In summary, reading these stories can provide more background information and further enhance your understanding of Tang poetry.
