Synopsis

Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi are famous poets in the Mid-Tang Dynasty, and they are also known as "Yuan Bai". They advocated the New Yuefu Movement, and their poetic style focused on reflecting the sufferings of people's livelihood. Their poetic style was approachable and many famous poems were handed down from generation to generation, which had an important influence on the history of poetry. This book selects Yuan and Bai poems and publishes them in the form of introduction, title explanation, annotation and full translation for the convenience of readers.

Reader comments

This book contains many poems by Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi. Their poems are easy to understand and most of them reflect social reality. I like Yuan Zhen very much. His poems have novel ideas, just like the poem "Chrysanthemum", which uses chrysanthemums as metaphors to express his determination to persist in himself in difficult situations. This book made me feel the charm of poetry, and also made me understand that no matter how difficult life is, we must maintain firm faith and courage like Yuan Zhen.

The selected poems are very good, with detailed translations and annotations, making them suitable for beginners. For in-depth study, you may consider combining them with the chronology. There are many good poems that have not been selected into the collection.
