- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- In this first of a series introducing the history of the development of Chinese poetry, Laszlo focuses on the two most important works from Pre-Qin China. These were the Classic of Poetry and the Songs of Chu. Though we will not get to the Tang Dynasty in this episode, we’ll look at what came prior and how each new style impacted newer emerging styles of poetry. The life of Qu Yuan will also be introduced.

Haven't thought about Chinese poetry since Li Bai and Du Fu stuff at Uni.... glad you've got this series up, it'll reconnect me with my much younger self!
I'm 63. You older than me?
@@ChinaHistoryPodcast You've got me there man, but my uni days were about 20 years ago, so very much a trip down memory lane!

I love tang poetry, a beautiful time in Chinese history.
What does that character mean that looks like a giant Z with a mark on top (之)? It looks like the Japanese word for lawn 芝 (shiba). Not to be confused with the other shiba 柴 meaning brushwood (the shiba inu 柴犬 shiba). I'm not sure how any of this sounds in Chinese but I do know that according to Google Translate, 之 means "of" (zhī). It seems to crop up a lot on old scrolls and stuff. I'm not sure if it plays a big roll in modern Chinese but it's on your Tang Poetry thumbnail. Nowadays they seem to use "de" 的 for of. So what happened to zhī 之?
Among many definitions, 之 (zhī) is a character you use in between an attribute and the word it is modifying.
@@ChinaHistoryPodcast 谢谢!
A correction @24:15, HuBei 湖北province is not the mother town of liu bang刘邦 as QuYuan屈原.LiuBang is from JiangSu province Pei county 江苏沛丰，so called 沛公（项庄舞剑 意在…）
Thanks Steve! I bet I'll never be welcome in 徐州 again! Maybe not even to 全江苏省. Thanks.
Great lecture.
Here you can listen to all the collection of the 300 Tang Poems in English with great commentaries : czcams.com/video/tKzT8qzR6Rk/video.html
A rare jewel on the internet, like yours Laszlo! Thanks for your wonderful podcasts!
Great stuff! Thanks for turning me on to it.
Off topic. But What would be the top 5 or top 10 Greatest emperors/leaders in Chinese History?
And which ones have books/writings or surviving speeches? I want to learn what I can from them.
I don't know who made the Top 10. Deng Xiaoping for sure. Tang Taizong perhaps. Not sure about this.
@@ChinaHistoryPodcast Thanks. I'll add them to my shopping list.
The previous comments listed very good examples, I also recommend Emperor Kangxi of the Qing, Yongle of the Ming.
Love this video. Thank you so much!! You give a very nice and brief introduction to the early classical poetry. You are right that poetry and music are integral parts of Chinese political culture. The Book of Songs might be over two thousand years old, but the requirement for composing poems in civil service examination was not abandoned until 1905!! I made a video translating one of the poems from the Book of Songs when explaining what counts as a gentleman or 君子. Here is the link just in case anyone is curious: czcams.com/video/r_IodDwB1cg/video.html
Poetry needs to be incorporated to learning in the world education system.
Many would strongly agree with you.
Absolutely!! Poetry makes life beautiful!!
@@dr.gaosclassroom 尽管我不是中国人，我已经写了很多唐风的诗
Wow, 非常了不起。我是汉族人，可是我不会写诗 😅@@medcastrophilip544
在哪里可以看到你的诗？ 可以为你的诗作一段视频吗？ 如果可以，我会觉得非常荣幸。@@medcastrophilip544
Have u got a link to the podcast u mentioned at the beginning?
Here it is my friend: www.chineseliteraturepodcast.com/
Enjoy!
hi in this you mentioned that you had a series on the history of chinese philosophy. i was trying to search through your videos but couldn't find it. is it possible to link me? thanks!
I removed it from my back catalog and have been offering it as an online course on Avid.fm. However later this summer I will move this series back to my CHP Premium and Patreon platforms.
u r great
May I ask what your background is in terms of how did you acquire so much knowledge about Chinese poetry and culture?
No special background in particular. Did you listen to the entire Tang Poetry series?
Hope I hear about Xue Tao (薛濤)
For sure she will be mentioned and introduced. How could I not? You may need to wait till Part 4 or 5 though.
Actually she will be in Part 7 along with 白居易 and 元稹. In other words....this series looks like it's going to go to eight episodes. Maybe finish off with 李商隐.
What is the reason for Tang dynasty poets to drink before writing a piece?
I guessing to get the creative juices flowing
