Tang poetry is one of the most valuable cultural inheritances of
Chinese history. Its distinctive aesthetics, delicate language and
diverse styles constitute great literature in itself, as well as a
rich topic for literary study. This two-volume set is the
masterpiece of Professor Lin Geng, one of China's most respected
literary historians, and reflects decades of active research into
Tang poetry, covering the "Golden Age" of Chinese poetry (618-907
CE). In the first volume, the author provides a general
understanding of poetry in the "High Tang" era from a range of
perspectives. Starting with an indepth discussion of the Romantic
tradition and historical context, the author focuses on poetic
language patterns, Youth Spirit, maturity symbols, and prototypes
of poetry. The author demonstrates that the most valuable part of
Tang poetry is how it can provide people with a new perspective on
every aspect of life. The second volume focuses on the prominent
Tang poets and poems. Beginning with an introduction to the "four
greatest poets"-Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei, and Bai Juyi-the author
discusses their subjects, language, influence, and key works. The
volume also includes essays on a dozen masterpieces of Tang poetry,
categorized by topics such as love and friendship, aspirationsand
seclusion, as well as travelling and nostalgia. As the author
stresses, Tang poetry is worth rereading because it makes us
invigorate our mental wellbeing, leaving it powerful and full of
vitality. This book will appeal to researchers and students of
Chinese literature, especially of classical Chinese poetry. People
interested in Chinese culture will also benefit from the book.
