Selected Poems of Cao Zhi (New Edition)

Cao Zhi's poems not only embody the "sad but not sad" elegance of "The Book of Songs", but also contain the graceful and profound wonder of "Chu Ci". It not only inherits the writing power of Han Yuefu to reflect reality, but also retains the gentle and tragic sentiment of "Nineteen Ancient Poems". His poems have their own distinctive and unique style, completing the transformation from Yuefu folk songs to literati poems. Mr. Gu Shi, a famous paleontologist, commented: "Cao Zhi is a giant in Wei literature, connecting the Han Dynasty at the top and Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, and Sui Dynasties at the bottom. He is a unique talent. Li Bai and Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty all imitated his character."
