Many of China’s most famous poets—Du Fu, Li Bai, Bai Juyi, and Wang Wei—are represented by timeless poems about love, war, the delights of drinking and dancing, and the beauties of nature. There are poems about travel, about grief, about the frustrations of bureaucracy, and about the pleasures and sadness of old age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull of wisdom and humanity that reach across the barriers of language, space, and time, these poems take us to the heart of Chinese poetry, and into the very heart and soul of a nation.\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBai Juyi (772–846) \u003cbr\u003eCen Shen (715–770)\u003cbr\u003eChang Jian \u003cbr\u003eChen Tao\u003cbr\u003eChen Ziang (661–702) \u003cbr\u003eCui Hao (?–754) \u003cbr\u003eCui Shu (?–739?)\u003cbr\u003eCui Tu \u003cbr\u003eDai Shulun (732–789) \u003cbr\u003eDu Fu (712–770) \u003cbr\u003eDu Mu (803–852)\u003cbr\u003eDu Qiuniang (?–825?) \u003cbr\u003eDu Shenyan (648?–708)\u003cbr\u003eDu Xunhe (846–904)\u003cbr\u003eEmperor Xuanzong (685–761) \u003cbr\u003eGao Shi (716?–765) \u003cbr\u003eGu Kuang (725?–814?) \u003cbr\u003eHan Hong \u003cbr\u003eHan Wo (842?–923) \u003cbr\u003eHan Yu (768–824) \u003cbr\u003eHe Zhizhang (659?–744?) \u003cbr\u003eHuangfu Ran (716?–770) \u003cbr\u003eJia Dao (779–843) \u003cbr\u003eJiaoran (730?–799) \u003cbr\u003eJin Changxu\u003cbr\u003eLi Bai (701–762) \u003cbr\u003eLi Bin (?–876)\u003cbr\u003eLi Duan \u003cbr\u003eLi Qi \u003cbr\u003eLi Shangyin (813?–858?) \u003cbr\u003eLi Yi (748–827?) \u003cbr\u003eLiu Changqing (710?–789?)\u003cbr\u003eLiu Fangping \u003cbr\u003eLiu Shenxu \u003cbr\u003eLiu Yuxi (772–842) \u003cbr\u003eLiu Zhongyong \u003cbr\u003eLiu Zongyuan (773–819) \u003cbr\u003eLu Lun (737?–798?) \u003cbr\u003eLuo Binwang (640?–684?) \u003cbr\u003eMa Dai \u003cbr\u003eMeng Haoran (689–740) \u003cbr\u003eMeng Jiao (751–814) \u003cbr\u003ePei Di\u003cbr\u003eQian Qi (722?–780?) \u003cbr\u003eQin Taoyu \u003cbr\u003eQiu Wei \u003cbr\u003eQiwu Qian (692?–755?) \u003cbr\u003eQuan Deyu (759–818) \u003cbr\u003eShen Quanqi (650?–713)\u003cbr\u003eSikong Shu \u003cbr\u003eSong Zhiwen (?656–?712) \u003cbr\u003eWang Bo (649?–676)\u003cbr\u003eWang Changling (690?–756?) \u003cbr\u003eWang Han \u003cbr\u003eWang Jian (751?–830?) \u003cbr\u003eWang Wan \u003cbr\u003eWang Wei (701–761) \u003cbr\u003eWang Zhihuan (688–742) \u003cbr\u003eWei Yingwu (737?–792?) \u003cbr\u003eWei Zhuang (836?–910)\u003cbr\u003eWen Tingyun (?–866) \u003cbr\u003eXu Hun \u003cbr\u003eXue Feng\u003cbr\u003eYuan Jie (719–772) \u003cbr\u003eYuan Zhen (779–831) \u003cbr\u003eZhang Bi\u003cbr\u003eZhang Hu (785?–852?) \u003cbr\u003eZhang Ji (1) (776?–829?) \u003cbr\u003eZhang Ji (2) \u003cbr\u003eZhang Jiuling (678–740) \u003cbr\u003eZhang Qiao\u003cbr\u003eZhang Xu \u003cbr\u003eZheng Tian (824?–882?)\u003cbr\u003eZhu Qingyu \u003cbr\u003eZu Yong \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e*Dates not given if not known.\u003c\/i\u003ePETER HARRIS graduated from Oxford in classical Chinese and has a Ph.D. in Asian history from Monash.

There are three main types. ‘Old-style poems’, which come at the beginning of the anthology, are poems of any length. ‘Regulated poems’ are eight lines long, with stricter rules about rhyme and tone, and two couplets in the middle that each have matching lines. ‘Cut-off lines’, which Sun Zhu puts at the end, are poems with just four lines each. Nearly all the poems have five or seven characters per line, with the five-character poems coming first.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere the poems are given by poet, in alphabetical order of name in romanized (\u003ci\u003epinyin\u003c\/i\u003e) form. Then under each poet the poems are all arranged by type, as in the original. (Nearly all of them, anyway—a few have been rearranged for reasons of space.) There are some short notes at the back with explanations of names and other references.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Harris","brand":"Everyman's Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233782018277,"sku":"NP9780307269737","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780307269737.jpg?v=1767742568","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/three-hundred-tang-poems-isbn-9780307269737","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
