This concise introduction to Chinese poetry serves as a primer for Englishspeakers eager to expand their understanding and enjoyment of Chinese culture. James J. Y. Liu first examines the Chinese language as a medium of poetic expression and, contrary to the usual focus on the visual qualities of Chinese script, emphasizes the auditory effects of Chinese verse. He provides a succinct survey of Chinese poetry theory and concludes with his own view of poetry, based upon traditional Chinese concepts.'[This] books should be read by all those interested in Chinese poetry.'Achilles Fang, Poetry'[This is] a significant contribution to the understanding and appreciation of Chinese poetry, lucidly presented in a way that will attract a wide audience, and offering an original synthesis of Chinese and Western views that will stimulate and inspire students of poetry everywhere.'Hans H. Frankel, Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies'This is a book which can be recommended without reservation to anyone who wants to explore the world of Chinese poetry in translation.'James R.
