My Brothers of the Tang and Song Dynasties: Poetry and Life Through Thousand Years
by Jin Man
About This Novel
It is easy to read a line of poetry, but difficult to read a person, let alone thirty-two thoughtful poets. In the author's mind, Tang Shi is a sincere and forthright young man in white, sailing his boat in the wind, fencing and singing songs, with a heart full of the magnificence of the world, and a passion that would be better than mine. Song Ci is a dilute and subtle guest in a blue shirt, wandering under the moonlight, leaning on the railing and looking across the horizon, with the dawn wind waning the moon, and the awakening of dim lights. Tang poetry is like a Jiegu song that soars into the clouds, Song poetry is like a whimpering Xun song; Tang poetry is like noon among the white clouds far above the Yellow River, and Song poetry is like dusk when sparse shadows are slanting across the clear water. Even if they are separated by thousands of years, those words of uneven length and length, whether they are heroic or tender, will always be the most beautiful language in the world.
