唐诗三百首 卷一 Three Hundred Tang Poems, Volume 1


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

(3.6 stars; 6 reviews)

The Tang Dynasty (618 to 907) was a golden age of Chinese culture: religion and philosophy, painting and calligraphy, sculpture, architecture and music all reached peaks of perfection. Poetry was the epitome of the arts: a scholastic requirement, a route to fame, a moulder of character. Nearly 50,000 poems of the Tang have survived. The collection 'Three Hundred Tang Poems' was compiled around 1763. It comprises six volumes, with poems grouped by verse form. Volume 1 covers the 'ancient verse' style in five-character lines (poems 1 to 35), and 'folk song style verse' (36 to 45). The masters Li Bai, Du Fu and Wang Wei are well represented here.

Recordings in this volume are in Cantonese, Hokkien, Mandarin and Taiwanese, as indicated in the titles; some are spoken, others are sung. (Summary by David Barnes)

Reviews

tang poems


(4 stars)

As a self taught beginner (started learning mandarin three years ago) the audio files which I've just found are a valuable resource, four lines five characters each are just right for when you've got a few dozen words under your belt and desire to branch out. Tang poetry deserves to be better known in the West.

Separate the the three languages


(1 stars)

It is rather tiresome having to select one's choice of language after every poem. why don't you group the languages separately?
