The Book of Songs: The Ancient Chinese Classic of Poetry - Shijing

Description: Arthur Waley's translation of "The Book of Songs" brings to life the earliest collection of Chinese poetry, known as the Shijing.

Through its 305 poems, the Shijing explores themes of love, politics, ritual, and daily life, offering a unique glimpse into the lives and sentiments of the people from that era. Waley's scholarly yet accessible translation preserves the beauty and rhythm of the original texts, making this timeless work available to a modern audience. This book not only serves as an essential resource for students and scholars of Chinese literature and history but also invites all readers to experience the profound simplicity and enduring wisdom of ancient Chinese poetry.
