Selected Poems of Li He

About This Novel

Li He was a famous poet in the mid-Tang Dynasty. He, Li Bai and Li Shangyin were called the "Three Lis of the Tang Dynasty". He was a representative of the transition period of poetic style from the mid-Tang Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty. Most of the poems he wrote lamented his untimely birth and inner depression, and expressed his pursuit of ideals and ambitions; they also reflected the separatist rule of feudal towns, the dictatorship of eunuchs, and the cruel exploitation of the people at that time. He left behind some eternal good sayings such as "Dark clouds threaten to destroy the city", "When the rooster sings, the world becomes white", "If the sky is affectionate, the sky will also grow old". This book is a selection of Li He's poems, a total of 108 poems. The author selects poems carefully, taking into account both ideological and artistic qualities. After each poem, he attaches annotations of important words and an interpretation of the whole poem. The annotations are concise and accurate, including a synopsis of key verses and the phonetic notation and interpretation of difficult words. The interpretation part focuses on exploring the ideological and artistic nature of the poems, explaining the profound things in simple terms, and sometimes creating insights. This book is an excellent ancient poetry reader that is both academic and popular.
