From the Canon of Poetry to the Lyrics of the Song Dynasty
Focusing on classical Chinese poetry, this innovative textbook offers a fresh approach by immersing readers in the original language's texture rather than relying solely on translated anthologies. It is designed for a diverse audience, including those unfamiliar with Chinese, aiming to enhance the understanding and appreciation of the poetic form through a more authentic experience.
