Reminiscing About Coquettishness
by Qu Wenyuan
About This Novel
The word "Feng Sao" is taken from "The Book of Songs - Guofeng" and Qu Yuan's "Li Sao". Feng is the essence of the Book of Songs and the source of realist poetry in northern China; Sao is the essence of Chu Ci and the origin of romantic literature in southern China. They respectively represent the highest achievements of pre-Qin literature in my country. This book selects 30 love poems from "The Book of Songs - Chinese Style" and merges them with Qu Yuan's "Li Sao", and makes a creative translation of the original poems, that is, taking apart the words and sentences of the original poems, restoring the essence and situation of the original poems, and reconstructing them using modern free verse words and sentences, while maintaining the unique rhythm of ancient poems.
