Bai Juyi (Chinese Classical Poetry Appreciation Book Series)(Chinese Edition)

This is a set of 24 books, composed of three series, aiming to introduce the most influential poets in the Chinese history and their representative works. Each book is in two parts (the biography of the poet and appreciation of his/her works) and the appreciation of each poem is in three parts (explanatory notes on the title and background, translation in modern Chinese language and analysis of the poem sentence by sentence, and comments on the characteristics of the poem). This arrangement is different from its counterparts which only have foot notes on certain sentences and it helps readers to gain a better understanding of the poet s thinking, artistic features and writing skills. To express the aura of the poems, each poem is accompanied with a traditional Chinese painting, and many paintings were created by famous artists. The book series looks at the cultural value of ancient poetry from multiple angles, such as literature, arts and history. This series have two versions in simplified and traditional Chinese separately.
