As someone who has had the privilege of knowing Yu personally and being the reviewer of this extraordinary book, I can attest to the incredible dedication and sincerity he has poured into every aspect of its creation. Yu approached this project with the utmost seriousness, ensuring that both the aesthetic qualities of the text and images were impeccably crafted.
Having witnessed firsthand Yu’s time commitment, attention to detail and the profound reverence for the subject matter, I am deeply impressed by the depth of Yu's motivation to preserving and sharing the cultural treasures of the Tang Dynasty. His passion for this endeavor shines through in every carefully selected poem and exquisitely rendered painting.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this book serves as invaluable learning material for anyone interested in bilingual education or eager to delve into the richness of Chinese culture. The inclusion of English translations, meticulously reviewed and refined, alongside the original Chinese text, offers a rare opportunity for language learners to engage with these timeless poems in both languages.
Furthermore, the contextual insights provided throughout the book offer a glimpse into the historical and cultural backdrop against which these poems were composed, enriching the reader's understanding and appreciation of Chinese literature.
In essence, this book is not merely a collection of poems; it is a tribute to the profoundness of Chinese culture, art and craftsmanship. Yu's unwavering dedication to his book has produced a work that transcends boundaries, inviting readers to embark on a journey of discovery and enlightenment.
Whether you are a poetry enthusiast, a language learner, or simply someone with a curiosity about Chinese culture, this book deserves a cherished place on your shelf. It is a true labor of love and dedication, earning my highest recommendation.
