Features: China is a land of poetry, with a long and glorious poetic history spanning over three thousand years. Poetry expresses emotions, conveys aspirations, shapes form, and analyzes reasoning. In China, without learning poetry, one cannot speak. Because poetry is the wandering footsteps of a nation's soul, and poetry is the shared journey of you and me. Poetry names our lives, and poetry seeks and clarifies the meaning of our lives. What a precious spiritual heritage it is, with clouds and mist billowing and splendid prose unfolding before our eyes. The fragrance and tenderness of its emotions, the profound and rhythmic works—countless in number. A single crane soaring through the clear sky leads poetic inspiration to the highest heavens. Here, it is the land of poetry in the East, and the Eastern poetic culture guides us to seek the poetic essence of Chinese existence. Have you ever been proud, as a child of the land of Eastern poetry, as a descendant of the poetic sages? Have you ever felt ashamed, failing to live up to the glory and poetic passion of the ancestors, failing to honor the proud and immortal spirit of the poetic forebears? This series of books selects classic Chinese poetry and prose from various dynasties. These words of jade and masterpieces of prose, refined through time and widely acclaimed, are accompanied by insightful and unique critiques by the authors. They combine appreciation and academic rigor, blending learning and practicality.
