More information:
Here are poems by Chinese rulers, officials, statesmen, soldiers, concubines, recluses and hard-drinking iconoclasts, dating back to the 2nd century BC and beyond. Not weighed down by the accumulation of literary tradition, these verses are more direct and personal, less allusive than the beautiful but stylised works of later times.
