"Meng Man: The Beauty of Tang Poetry" is the third work about Tang poetry by Mr. Meng Man, a famous scholar of Sui and Tang history and a judge of the "Chinese Poetry Conference". Teacher Mengman selected the essence of more than 50,000 Tang poems, focusing on the five human emotions of love, friendship, nostalgia, official love, and country love. He carefully compiled and revised 33 poems and essays to lead readers to appreciate the beauty of rhythm, artistic conception, philosophy, and human feelings in Tang poetry, and review the life aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty people. The writing style is as lively and interesting as ever, and the content is as rich in knowledge as ever, making people unable to put it down! Lin Dihuan, a painter of 24 solar terms and a stage ink painter of the "Chinese Poetry Conference", lovingly illustrates this. With its beautiful color pages and exquisite layout details, the book provides readers with a visual experience of the beauty of Tang poetry, which makes people "bewitched by the beauty"!

Spring breeze and spring rain, spring grass and spring flowers, year after year, morning and evening. The same scenery will have completely different expressions in the writings of different poets, and the same expression will have completely different ripples in the hearts of different readers. The so-called "poetry has no meaning" is precisely about the richness brought about by the ambiguity of poetry. There are a thousand Hamlets in the minds of a thousand people. Similarly, when a thousand people read the same spring poem, they will also read a thousand different flavors. This is really a very beautiful feeling.
Teacher Mengman is an important contemporary Chinese scholar studying the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and he also has very good literary attainments. This book is her appreciation of a batch of essences selected from Tang poetry. These works fully reflect the true feelings of the great poets of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, through teacher Mengman's explanation, we also appreciate the beauty of rhythm in Tang poetry. This book is rich in content and meaningful in text, which greatly increases people's knowledge. It also comes with many exquisite illustrations, which enhances our reading experience.
Tang poetry, Song lyrics, and Yuan music are beautiful literary forms that have been passed down to this day in ancient China. Tang poetry is in an absolute position among us. The author of this book has a unique understanding of Tang poetry and also provided many brief introductions of his own, which benefited me a lot. Moreover, the book is also equipped with many exquisite illustrations to describe the artistic conception, which simply adds to the content of the book. I can only say that this is a good book that must be read! I sincerely recommend everyone to read this book!

For lazy beginners in poetry, Teacher Mengman's taste is trustworthy, and there is no need to memorize poems one by one.
The comments are very pertinent and easy to understand.
The content is very good
Appreciate the details
It's fascinating to watch. Not enough to watch!
Teacher Mengman is a great contemporary talented woman!
