Reader comments
Collected Poems and Essays of Zhang Zao (five volumes)
Writer Zhang Zao
Literary men look down on each other, so as a reader, you should not compare and criticize similar poets and writers, but personal preferences are unavoidable.
Zhang Zao's poems have concise language and good use of modifications, but they are not so direct and pursue the complexity and perfection of the format. The themes of the poems are relatively simple and not very majestic.
Maybe it's because I'm a layman, so I know how good he is, but I don't like it very much.
But after all, it is a generation of people, and the five-star praise is worthy.
I particularly like the poem "In the Mirror", especially the line "Whenever I think of things I regret in my life, the plum blossoms fall", which makes people feel both poignant and melancholy. Moreover, this book also contains his essays, lectures and translations, which can give us a more comprehensive understanding of his literary world. I highly recommend you read this book too!
