Two thousand years ago, the Chinese created the Book of Songs, and one thousand years ago they created the Song lyrics. The Song lyrics are considered the most beautiful of ancient Chinese poetry because they can express more refined, more delicate and more subtle feelings than, say, Tang poetry. Three hundred Song lyrics are presented in this beautifully bound, gold-lettered book. Some of the writers of Song lyrics featured in this bilingual edition are Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, Wang Anguo, Yan Jidao and Su Shi.
