		The juxtaposition of images in classical Chinese poetry is an extension of the spatiality of the Chinese characters and the abstractness of the Chinese language.
		The tradition of classical Chinese poetry has had nothing to do with so-called "natural poetics." On the contrary, its formal design reflects an extreme artificiality--so artificial that it is usually mistaken for "naturalness." "Nature" as subject matter should not and cannot replace poetics.
		Chinese readers at last had the opportunity to read this relatively complete part of that grand literary construct.

	Du Fu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Like many other Chinese poets, he came from a noble family (they claimed descent from the emperor Yao) which had fallen into relative poverty (although Hung estimates that his family income was still eleven times that of an averagely comfortable family).
		The most directly historical of his poems are those commenting on military tactics or the successes and failures of the government, or the poems of advice which he wrote to the emperor.
		A second favourite epithet of Chinese critics is that of shisheng (詩聖 — poet saint, or poet sage), a counterpart to the philosophical sage, Confucius.

	Heath Anthology of American LiteratureCarved on the Walls: Poetry by Early Chinese Immigrants - Author Page
		The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the inevitable culmination of a series of oppressive anti-Chinese laws and violent physical assaults upon the Chinese.
		All of the poems are written in the classical style, with frequent references or allusions to famous literary or heroic figures in Chinese legend and history, especially those who faced adversity.
		As for the Chinese, their experiences on Angel Island and under the American exclusion laws, which were not repealed until 1943, laid the groundwork for the behavior and attitudes of an entire generation of Chinese Americans.

	Heath Anthology
		It is important that students be aware of this background material in their reading of the poems as well as their significance as part of the earliest record of Chinese American literature and history written from the perspective of Chinese immigrants in America.
		The poems express strong feelings of anger, frustration, uncertainty, hope, despair, self-pity, homesickness, and loneliness written by Chinese immigrants who were singled out for exclusion by American immigration laws on the basis of race.
		The Angel Island poems were written as a means to vent and record the response of Chinese immigrants to the humiliating treatment they suffered at the Angel Island Immigration Station.

		The total number of poems assigned for the third session should hopefully be limited to such a number.

		The poem you choose for discussion in the third session of each motif should ideally come from different books for all eight motifs.

		And, so, both speaking your poems out loud and having them exist on the page to be read in solitude by a reader, both those seem to be important to you.
		Chinese poets were often dispatched to far corners of the Chinese empire and knew that they would never see their friends again and so there arose this whole category almost of poets taking leave of one another.
		And the Chinese painter who's mentioned here is actually the same person as was mentioned in that earlier poem that I read although this is his—the first was his literary name Su Dongpo—this is his family name, Su Shi.

	Subversive Empathy: Marià Manent in Exile in the Land of Chinese Poetry
		All of the examples of Chinese poetry that Manent cites in the Pòrtic have to do with war, and with the impotence of the individual, especially of the poet, trapped by the circumstances of war.
		The history of Chinese poetry is the history of literati who were civil servants, transferred constantly from one place to another, deliberately far from their homes and families (as part of a policy to avoid corruption), and also by the whims of the governing powers, by war and by rebellion.
		This was the method that Ezra Pound had employed to turn Ernest Fenollosa’s manuscript English language interlinear versions of Chinese poems, that were based on prior literal interlinear versions in Japanese, into a new form of English poetry that had a major impact on the Imagist movement of the early 20th century.

	Falun Gong slips poems into Chinese newspaper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Beijing -- Just weeks after hacking into Chinese state television and airing propaganda films, members of the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement have slipped poems by their leader into a major state-run newspaper, an editor at the paper said on Thursday.
		Two poems written by Falun Gong's exiled spiritual leader Li Hongzhi were printed on an economic page in the March 30 edition of South China's Guangzhou Daily, the editor, who declined to be identified, told Reuters.
		Falun Gong, which combines traditional Chinese exercise with Taoism and Buddhism, was outlawed in China as an "evil cult" in mid-1999.

	My Translations of T'ang Dynasty Poems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The poems from this era were written in what is called "Classical Chinese"; that is, they used the syntax and the vocabulary from the Confucian era (late first millennium B.C.E.).
		The poems are written in an archaic, spare syntax, and many prepositions or quasi-prepositions and other particles that would otherwise fill up the lines are absent here.
		The poem is not in the canonical 300 (actually, 310) poems of the T'ang dynasty; however, there are some 48,000 T'ang dynasty poems in all, so it could easily be hidden there somewhere.

		Kenneth Rexroth's translations, starting with 100 Poems* from the Chinese*, were equally as important to the last quarter of the 20th century.
		These treasures are surrounded by a generous selection of poems dating from the 1st century BCE to the 16th century CE.

	Literary criticism by JD
		The poem is in the five-syllable "cut-off" style, characterized by rhyme in the second and fourth lines and some optional patterns of tone and parallelism that, wisely, none of the translators has attempted to bring over into English.
		Written around 300 A.D. and translated into Chinese at the beginning of the eighth century, it is a discourse on metaphysics— notably on the acceptance of the Void and the unreality of perception.
		He is known to all Chinese people for a single much-memorized poem on the topic of motherly love, one that unfortunately strikes a western reader as mawkish.

	The Drunken Boat
		Rather than a complete anthology of Chinese poetry, the translations follow the trajectory of Sze's interests in Chinese literature, from the classic T'ang masters, Wang Wei, Li Po and Tu Fu to important contemporary poets such as Wen I-to and Yen Chen.
		By writing out their poems, character by character, stroke by stroke, I was able to engage with the poems on a deeper level and better understand their process of creation.
		Sze: Sometimes I choose the poems, and sometimes they seize me. In the case of Wang Wei, I loved the sharp images, the paradoxes, and intensity of his chueh-chu (quatrains).

	Chinese Cultural Studies: Selections of Chinese Poetry
		Chinese poets and artists concentrate heavily on the beauties of nature, but ordinary life went on in the T'ang Dynasty as in most places and times.
		At least a number of Chinese women were able to articulate their plight in poems that came to be considered classics.
		Despite the fact that Chinese civilization has not generally provided much freedom or status for women, clearly many men loved their wives dearly, for they said so in poems like this lament of a bereaved husband.

	Words Without Borders -> Nine Poems from Ancient China
		"Nine Poems from Ancient China" are translated from one of China's most popular collections of traditional verse, the Qian Jia Shi ("Poems of a Thousand Masters") first compiled in the Song Dynasty (960-1279) by the poet Liu Kezhuang.
		In the Chinese, the poems follow the strict tonal patterns of "regulated verse" (eight lines of five or seven characters per line) and "detached verse" (four lines of five or seven characters per line), making melodies of such fluid complexity on par with a raga or Benedictine chant.
		The English translations emulate the overall rectangular fields (or seals) of the Chinese poems and retain the same number of lines.

	Das Lied von der Erde
		The original Chinese poems were first independently translated into French by Judith Gautier and Le Marquis D'Hervey-Saint-Denys.
		The syntactical differences between Chinese and the European languages involved have made the translation process a rather challenging task, and have therefore generated a lot of errors and misleading representations.
		One such example is the poem titled "Porcelain pavilion", on which the Third movement (von der Jugend) is based.

		These poems are a great introduction to several key poets, both male and female, from several Chinese dynasties.
		Rexroth's translations (as they deserve to be called, as well as poems), are not as far from the originals as some would have you believe; take it from someone who has studied the poems of Du Fu/Tu Fu lovingly for more than 30 years.

		The work is one of the Five Classics, canonized by the Han Dynasty, whose scholars framed the 305 poems as having been edited by Confucius from a total corpus of some three-thousand poems.
		The 305 poems had to be reconstructed from memory by classicists since the previous Qin dynasty had burned the poems along with other classical texts.

		The title is appropriate too: Chinese Whispers is the British name for the game of Telephone, where children (or adults) gather in a circle and whisper a "secret" word or phrase into the ear next to them.
		The eye is immediately caught by some lines in an early poem-"Our lives ebbing always toward the center,/ the unframed portrait"-which feel like a key to Ashbery's aesthetic; he doesn't want us to look only at the center, at the shapes that predominate, but at the details along the edge.
		As I read Chinese Whispers, and then reread it, I found how it is similar to the variation found in an anthology.
