Bird Path: Selected Poems of Zhou Mengdie from the Century
by Zhou Mengdie
About This Novel
"Bird Path - Selected Poems of the Century by Zhou Mengdie" is a collection of poems by the famous Taiwanese poet and "Lonely King" Zhou Mengdie. It includes a total of 50 poems written by the poet from 1959 to 2000. It is the first simplified Chinese version of Zhou Mengdie's poems in the Chinese-speaking world. Zhou's poetry combines Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoist philosophy, as well as Chinese and foreign religions, forming a unified whole. The unity of his poetry and Zen directly follows Wang Wei; he regards poetry as the way of existence of life, and "painstakingly chanting" as his attitude towards poetry, which is comparable to that of Meng Jiao and Jia Dao. Those poems that "blend the sorrow of fire and the coldness of snow" are like dancing raindrops and snowflakes, like the gentle breeze of sunset, which are reflections of the poet's decades of fishing in the middle of the street, and will bring you unique artistic enjoyment. The appendix of this book contains several articles written by Zhou Mengdie's former friends and people in Taiwan's cultural circles to commemorate Duke Zhou, giving people a glimpse into the legendary life of this "lonely king". It also comes with a color insert containing twenty color and black-and-white photos, some of which are published for the first time and are extremely precious. The cloth-covered gilding binding is exquisite, elegant, noble and generous. It is a treasure not to be missed by literature lovers and art collectors.
