Some feature shorter lyrics in simple language that reflects the voice of the common people--folk songs addressing love and courtship, political satire, and protest. Others focus on court life and dynasties, and nearly all the songs rhyme. This stunning dual-language edition features 32 of the most beautiful verses, including "Se Miu," about a man exhaustedly working for the king, and "Odes Of Yong (Bo Zhou)," a melancholy love poem. In the same way that Homer's epics took hold within the West, the <i>Book of Songs</i><i>'</i> influence extends beyond literature onto education, politics, and communal life.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>James Trapp is the author of <i>Chinese Characters: The Art and Meaning of Hanzi </i>and has translated a new edition of Sun Tzu's <i>The Art of War</i>.
