Classical poems are an integral part of Chinese culture. The poems have been memorized, savoured and handed down from one generation to the next. Famous lines are quoted frequently in both daily life conversations and official speeches.

Shi and Ci, though both classical Chinese poems, are different in many ways. This volume focuses on Shi. Some of the most well-known Shi poems, mostly from the Tang Dynasty (618-907), are presented in this book.

The unique bilingual format captures the cadence and the spirit of each poem. The hanyu pinyin to all Chinese characters makes it possible for people who cannot read Chinese language can also appreciate the poems. The author explains the poems in such a way that you will find reading classical Chinese poems can be easy and fun. Enjoy the book！
