唐詩(诗)三百首, 300 Tang Poems

Recommended Posts

At the Forumosa forums there's a discussion on Tang-dynasty poems, especially from the 唐詩()三百首, 300 Tang Poems.

 

So, I thought I might post some background on the 300 Tang Poems and some helpful links.

The entry for 唐詩()三百首 from The Indiana Companion to Traditional Chinese Literature.

At the Wikipedia entry for Three Hundred Tang Poems, they've a link to Zhongwen.com where they've the 300 poems.

 

http://zhongwen.com/tangshi.htm

 

The Zhongwen site has linked each poem to its English translation at the University of Virginia's Etext Center.

 

The links appear to no longer be working properly. Probably the university updated their web site, so, previous links no longer go to where the poems now reside.

 

After a little searching I've since discovered the poems are here.

Also, at the Asiawind Forums, there's an ethnic Chinese guy from Malaysia, now residing in Australia, who posts a lot on Chinese poems.

A representative example of one of his posts.

 

It's like having an annotated edition in English. And he's open to questions.

 

I think, but aren't certain, that he covered all 300 poems from 唐詩()三百首 before they revamped the web site and erased all the previous posts. I wasn't paying much attention back then. Not really that into poetry. :)

If anybody'd like him to post on a specific poem, I'm sure he'd post it with explanations and all. :)

Was going to edit my original post, but, somehow the edit button missing in this forum.

Here's another site with the 300 Tang Poems.

Though, same translation, the good thing is that you can hover over a character and get a definition.

 

The bad thing is that not all the characters show up. Might be because I'm on Linux and don't know how to format to get all the characters.
