This book is a collection of 40 poem-reading notes written by three columnists of the Beijing News Book Review Weekly's "Weekend Poetry Reading". The author selects about 200 classic poems from ancient literary works such as the Book of Songs, Han Dynasty Yuefu, Tang poetry, and Song lyrics. With his unique narrative method of "a few words and a vast ocean of artistic conception", he triggers readers' feelings and memories about the poems, reconnects with familiar and unfamiliar daily images, and allows them to fully appreciate the beautiful lines and understand the artistic conception of the poems.
As the author said, reading poetry is not to verify a world of appearances, not to interpret a poem from the outside, but to experience its richness from the inside, following those words like dew or daggers, to start the adventure and wandering of our own souls.
Reader comments
This book is very interesting, it is not as boring as ordinary poetry appreciation. Sanshu's interpretation is very unique. It's like chatting with you, sharing his understanding and insights of poetry. I like his reinterpretation of everyday images, which gives me a new understanding of familiar poems. For example, his explanation of "Spring Mountain" made me feel how colorful spring is in the poet's eyes. Recommended to friends who like poetry, they will definitely gain something different.
