randall_flagg Posted May 24, 2006 at 04:45 PM Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 at 04:45 PM Hey there! I'm looking for a book to help me interpret Chinese poems (mainly Tang poems). Can anyone recommend such a thing, preferably in Chinese? I am not looking for translations; I want to understand the deeper meaning, innuendos and the like. So fully analyses would be nice. Thanks, Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted May 24, 2006 at 04:48 PM Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 at 04:48 PM I can't vouch for how useful it is, but a link to this was posted a while ago. At the very least it is free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

student Posted June 3, 2006 at 10:14 PM Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 at 10:14 PM One I've found very rewarding, though much less detailed than the one above, is Five Lectures on Chinese Poetry. - LU ZHIWEI available online at (scroll down past the russian to get to the links to the text of each of the lectures). Also, not online as far as I know, but very helpful to me is: Fifty-Five T'ang Poems, A text in the reading and understanding of T'ang Poetry by Hugh M. Stimson, Yale University Press. and A Little Primer of Tu Fu by David Hawkes, Oxford Actually, if the last two are by some chance online somewhere, I'd love to know the link!

Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.chinese-forums.com Port 80 **** the link I wanted to include, suitably deconstructed so that I can post it, is Precondition Failed The precondition on the request for the URL /newthread.php evaluated to false. baruchim dot narod dot ru slash LuZhiwei dot html (delete the spaces, change dot to . and change slash to /) very strange.
