Studies on the English Translation of Tang Poetry and Song Ci Poetry

This book, divided into two parts, focuses on the English translation of Tang poetry and Song ci poetry, respectively. Tang poetry refers to the classical Chinese poetry written in the Tang Dynasty (618-917), often considered as the Golden Age of classical Chinese poetry. Song ci poetry, a type of lyric poetry prominent in the Song Dynasty (960-1279), has certain patterns in fixed-tone, fixed-rhyme and variable line-length, forming certain musical song tunes.
