Poetry*

This book "Poetry" is really good! It reviews poets and poems from the Han Dynasty to the Qi and Liang Dynasties in the Southern Dynasty. I especially like the part about the literary revival in the Jian'an period, such as the poems of Cao Gong and his son, the Pingyuan brothers, Liu Zhen, Wang Can and others. It is so well written! But I don't really like those empty talk works from the Yongjia period. Overall, this book gave me a deeper understanding of ancient poetry.
