Poetry in China has been around for at least three thousand years (it is one of the oldest poetic traditions in the world). "Begin your education with poetry" was the famous wisdom of Confucius. For centuries, every literate person in China, from emperors and officials to monks and students, has endeavored to capture their feelings, observations, and reflections in beautiful verse. This edition presents remarkable examples of Chinese poetry from different epochs: from the most ancient "Book of Songs" ("Shi Jing") to the Qing era (1644-1911) in translations by the outstanding Chinese scholar, Doctor of Sciences, Professor Lev Nikolayevich Menshikov (1926-2005). There is no pre-thought system in the selection of texts, but the poems included in the book seemed "important, significant and perfect" to the compiler. The poetic translations are accompanied by articles, biographies of the poets and detailed notes.
