Golden Treasury of Song, Yuan, Ming & Qing Poetry (Chinese-English Edition): Xu Yuanchong’s Translation

Golden Treasury of Song, Yuan, Ming & Qing Poetry (Chinese-English Edition): Xu Yuanchong’s Translation

200+ Poems from Wang Anshi, Su Shi and Lu You to Gao Qi — Xu Yuanchong’s Rhymed English Verse with Chinese Texts from the Zhonghua Book Company Edition
This book brings together more than 200 poems from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties—the long stretch of Chinese history after the peak of Tang poetry. It includes well-known poets like Wang Anshi, Su Shi, and Lu You from the Song, and Gao Qi from the Ming, along with many other voices that together give you a broad picture of what Chinese poetry looked like across these centuries. Xu Yuanchong, the first Asian translator to win the Aurora Borealis Prize, renders the poems into English rhyme, aiming to carry not just the meaning but the sound and beauty of the originals. If you want to explore Chinese poetry beyond the Tang and Song, in a celebrated bilingual translation—rather than a partial selection or a plain prose rendering—this is it.
