70+ Poems from the Han to the Six Dynasties (202 BC–AD 618), with Xu Yuanchong‘s English Translations, Paired with Traditional Chinese Paintings That Echo Each Piece — A Bilingual Art Collection, Not an Academic Commentary
This bilingual collection brings together more than 70 poems from the Han through the Six Dynasties (202 BC–AD 618)—a period in which ancient Chinese poetry gradually matured, exploring new styles, forms, and subjects. It spans the earliest voices, from Liu Bang’s “Song of the Great Wind” and Xiang Yu‘s “Song of Gaixia,” through The Nineteen Old Poems, Cao Cao, Cao Zhi, Ruan Ji, Tao Yuanming, Xie Lingyun, Bao Zhao, Xie Tiao, and Yu Xin, down to the Southern and Northern Dynasties folk songs “Mulan” and “Song of the Chile.” Each Chinese original is paired with Xu Yuanchong’s English translation and a traditional Chinese painting that echoes the mood of the poem. If you want a readable, image-rich bilingual collection to read, compare, and keep—not a scholarly commentary—this is it.
