China is a country of poetry, and poetry creation has a long history. In the Tang Dynasty, poetry creation reached its peak. Many great poets were born in the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Bai who wrote "hundred poems about wine fights", Wang Wei who said "there are paintings in poems and poems in paintings", Meng Haoran who was "popular all over the world", etc. They wrote countless immortal poems at moments such as drinking and chatting, going on grand tours, ups and downs in officialdom, returning to the mountains and forests, going on expeditions beyond the Great Wall, and breaking willows to say goodbye. In these poems, we can not only see the poet's personal life experience and ambition, but also the historical changes of the entire Tang Dynasty. This book takes the poet's life as the main line, uses a poem and interesting anecdotes hidden in the poem, and meticulously presents the poet's distinctive personality and vivid historical scenes, allowing readers to better feel the eternal artistic charm of Tang poetry.

This book takes the culturally prosperous Song Dynasty as the background, selects classic works of Song poetry, and narrates the life stories of twenty Song poetry masters, including Li Yu, Liu Yong, Yan Shu, Li Qingzhao, Su Dongpo, Qin Guan, and Xin Qiji. The author interprets in detail from a unique perspective, integrating Qingjun's insights into the ancient narrative, allowing readers to get into the interesting people and things behind Song Ci and appreciate the style and charm of the ancients.
