Discover ancient China through eloquent translations that bring old poems to life. Learn how a translator recreates the sensory world of the poet, inviting you to feel history in every line.

Voices of Ancient China gathers translated classics alongside notes on history, form, and meaning. The collection opens with guidance on how Chinese poetry evolved from early odes to the refined techniques of the Tang period, then moves through biographical sketches of eminent poets. The poems themselves cover a wide range of voices and moods, from intimate reveries to epic journeys, and they are presented with readers in mind who want both accessibility and depth. This edition helps readers see how human experience across two or three thousand years remains strikingly familiar.

What you’ll experience

Explanatory notes that illuminate historical names, cultural references, and poetic forms without overwhelming the text.
Contextual background on theShi-King, the Tang dynasty, and later periods to frame the poetry’s development.
A bridge between lyric imagination and historical insight, suitable for study or casual enjoyment.

Ideal for readers of classic poetry and students of Chinese literature who want a readable, thoughtfully annotated entry into a long tradition.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

THE initiative of this little book was accidental. One day in the early part of last summer, feeling weary of translating commercial documents, I opened a volume of Chinese poetry that was lying on my desk and listlessly turned over the pages. As I was doing so my eye caught sight of the phrase, 'Red rain of peach flowers fell.' That would be refreshing, I said to myself, on such a day as this; and then I went on with my work again. But in the evening I returned to the book of Chinese poetry and made a free translation of the poem in which I had seen the metaphor quoted above.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating journey through the rich world of Chinese poetry. It goes beyond the well-known â� �"Shi-Kingâ� � or â� �"Book of Poetryâ� � to showcase the vast and largely unexplored landscape of Chinese poetic tradition. The author, a scholar of the Chinese language, presents a selection of poems from various periods, dating back as far as the Han Dynasty and including renowned poets of the Tang Dynasty. The book delves into the techniques and forms of Chinese poetry, explaining the importance of tone and rhythm in shaping the poemsâ� � structure and emotional impact. It also discusses the thematic depth of Chinese poetry, revealing the universal themes of nature, love, loss, and the human condition that resonate across time and culture. The author explores how these themes are woven into the fabric of Chinese poetry, demonstrating that the emotions and experiences expressed by ancient Chinese poets are profoundly similar to those we experience today.
