Reader comments
This book is very interesting. Mr. Zhou Benzun is really knowledgeable! In the book, he talks about many topics about poetry, such as parallelism, duality, allusion, etc., All of which are very thorough. And I think his analysis of the characters' personalities and experiences was very good, which gave me a deeper understanding of the poems. For example, when he talked about emotion and reason, he used many poems as examples, which made me understand how important the balance between emotion and reason is in poetry. All in all, this is a book worth reading, especially for those who like poetry.
