Soaring Poetic Thoughts, Volume 6: The Art of Living

This isn't an intimidating poetry textbook; it's more like a jar of aged wine, with a hint of chili and a touch of sweetness. Poetic Flair: The Art of Living uses the most ancient Ci poem forms to capture contemporary life. From Dongpo pork to a factory director kicking off a soccer match, from square dancing to the film "Hi, Mom," every piece offers a laugh and resonates with human emotion.

The author's brilliant brush brings classical Ci forms like "Sheng Cha Zi," "Yi Nan Wang," and "Man Jiang Hong" to life, infusing them with modern sentiment and everyday charm. You'll witness the playful spirit of those who "refuse to yield to old age" and encounter the deep, caring whispers of "wishing mom good health."

The verses carry the aroma of food, the scent of wine, tears, and laughter?they fully depict the "art" of life without lecturing. Instead, they simply invite you to lie back in time and, slowly but surely, let your spirit soar.

Don't understand Ci poetry? No problem. Love life? Then this book is perfect for you.
