Recommended "The Legend of Tang Poems", written by Wang Guo, published by Intellectual Property Publishing House in July 2020.
"Legend of Tang Poetry" is a long historical novel written in a documentary style based on Tang poetry. From "Chen Ziang ascends Youzhou Terrace" to Li Shangyin's "Last Night Stars and Last Night Wind", it narrates the life experiences of ancient poets and Tang poetry. The stories related to famous works and the hundreds of years of historical waves that carry these famous works.
This book focuses on the life experiences of poets, describing the vivid images of Li Bai, Du Fu, Meng Haoran, Wang Wei, Bai Juyi and many other poets, especially their ups and downs of fate, and vividly describes two paragraphs. A true friendship and two passionate loves. The two friendships are the friendship between Li Bai and Meng Haoran, and the friendship between Li Bai and Du Fu. The former left behind famous poems such as "Farewell to Meng Haoran in Guangling", and the latter was a romantic meeting between the two greatest poets of the Tang Dynasty. The two loves are the love between Li Bai and his wife Xu, and the love between Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan. The former is a romantic and tragic love story by a great romantic poet, while the latter is a palace anecdote between the emperor and his concubine, which was exaggerated by Li Bai's poem "Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of face", and was sublimated by Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow".
This book is a novel with a coherent plot and a sense of integrity, not a collection of short stories. After reading this novel, which is an evolution of Tang poetry, you will have a fresh, detailed and profound understanding of Tang poetry.
It is the author's good intentions to make the touching poems more evocative because of the real plot, and to make the difficult and difficult poems easy to understand by being integrated into the story.
