Reader comments

This book "Three Hundred Tang Poems" is really well compiled! Its writing style is concise and lively, and the writing style is smooth and natural, making people feel very comfortable reading. Moreover, the detailed annotations in the book made it easier for me to understand the meaning of Tang poetry. I particularly like the poems of Li Bai and Du Fu, their writing styles are simply amazing! However, I kind of hate poets who always complain in their poems. I feel like they have a bit of negative energy. Overall, this is a book well worth reading and highly recommended!
