Download or read book A Further Collection of Chinese Lyrics written by Alan Ayling and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-18 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1969, builds on the authors’ first selection and contains a selection of Chinese lyrics (tz’u) mainly from Sung Dynasty poets who made this verse-form lastingly popular. Two of these poets, Su Shih and Hsin Ch’i Chi, add a fresh and robust note to the traditional theme of nostalgia and separation. As in the previous volume, the Chinese original, written with a scholar’s brush, faces the English translation.
