Ancient Chinese classic poems are exquisite works of art. As far as 2,000 years ago, Chinese poets composed the beautiful work Book of Poetry and Elegies of the South, Later, they created more splendid Tang poetry and Song lyrics. Such classic works as Thus Spoke the Master and Laws: Divine and Human were extremely significant in building and shaping the culture of the Chinese nation. These works are both a cultural bond linking the thoughts and affections of Chinese people and an important bridge for Chinese culture and the world. Mr. Xu Yuanchong has been engaged in translation for 70 years. In December 2010, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award in Translation conferred by the Translators Association of China (TAC). He is honored as the only expert who translates Chinese poems into both English and French. After his excellent interpretation, many Chinese classic poems have been further refined into perfect English and French rhymes. This collection of Classical Chinese Poetry and Prose gathers his most representative English translations. It includes the classic works Thus Spoke the Master, Laws: Divine and Human and dramas such as Romance of the Western Bower, Dream in Peony Pavilion, Love in Long-life Hall and Peach Blossom Painted with Blood. The largest part of the collection includes the translation of selected poems from different dynasties. The selection includes various types of poems, lyrics and Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty songs. The selected works start from the pre-Qin era to the Qing Dynasty, covering almost the entire history of classic poems in China. Reading these works is like tasting "living water from the source" of Chinese culture. We hope this collection will help English readers "know, love and appreciate" Chinese classic poems, share the intelligence of Confucius and Lao Tzu, share the gracefulness of Tang Dynasty poems, Song lyrics and classic operas and songs and promote exchanges between Eastern and Western culture. This book is one of the 14 books of Classical Chinese Poetry and Prose, a translation of Confucian classics Thus Spoke the Master.

精彩书摘

TUNE: TELLING INNERMOST FEELING

Before flowers, beneath the moon, shortly we met

Only to part with bitter regret.

What’s more, I wake from wine and dreams

To find fallen flowers and dim moonbeams.

Flowers will bloom again;

The moon will wax and wane.

Would our hearts be the same?

I’d turn the flame

Of my heart, string on string,

Into willow twigs to retain

The breeze of spring.

诉衷情

花前月下暂相逢，苦恨阻从容。

何况酒醒梦断，花谢月朦胧？

花不尽，月无穷，两心同。

此时愿作，杨柳千丝，绊惹春风。

TUNE: SONG OF THE IMMORTAL

Wine cup in hand, I listen to Water Melody;

Awake from wine at noon, but not from melancholy.

When will spring come back now it is going away?

In the mirror, alas!

I see happy time pass.

In vain may I recall the old days gone for aye.

Night falls on poolside sand where pairs of lovebirds stay;

The moon breaks through the clouds, with shadows flowers play.

Lamplights veiled by screen on screen can’t be seen.

The fickle wind still blows;

The night so silent grows.

Tomorrow fallen reds should cover the pathway.

天仙子

水调数声持酒听，午醉醒来愁未醒。

送春春去几时回？

临晚镜，伤流景，往事后期空记省。

沙上并禽池上暝，云破月来花弄影。

重重帘幕密遮灯。

风不定，人初静，明日落红应满径。

TUNE: MAGNOLIA FLOWER

FAREWELL TO SUN GONGSU AT ANLU

When we parted, the dream of meeting’s left in vain;

Outdoors but clouds of dust raised by your horse remain.

I will not listen to songs of regret till drunk.

How can I gaze afar,

O when the sun is sunk!

With whom will you enjoy the moon in breeze tonight?

The phoenix on my pipa sobs at music light.

There’s nothing to compare with love under the sky;

The river’s not so deep; the mountain not so high.

木兰花

和孙公素别安陆

相离徒有相逢梦，门外马蹄尘已动。

怨歌留待醉时听，远目不堪空际送。

今宵风月知谁共？声咽琵琶槽上凤。

人生无物比多情，江水不深山不重。

前言/序言

Preface

Life is the gift of nature, but beautiful living is the gift of wisdom.

—Greek Adage

The ultimate good is beauty, and the ultimate joy lies in the creation or cherishing of the beautiful.

—Schopenhauer

If the ultimate joy lies in the creation or cherishing of the beautiful, then ancient Chinese poets may be said to have enjoyed to the full both beauty and joy in their life, for two thousand years ago they created the beautiful Book of Songs and Elegies of the South, and one thousand years ago they created the more beautiful Tang poetry and Song lyrics. Of all these the last may be said to be the most beautiful, for Song lyrics can express more refined, more delicate, more subtle feelings than Tang poetry.

The lyrics were originally songs written to a certain tune, so they may also be called tuned poetry or ci-poems. In the beginning the title of the tune and the theme of the lyric were closely related, for example, one of the earliest lyrics written to the tune of Magpie on the Branch reads as follows:

How can I bear to hear the chattering magpie

Announce the happy news on which I can’t rely?

So thus I catch it alive when it flies to me again

And shut it in a cage where lonely’t will remain.

This is the first stanza of a lyric written by an anonymous author of the Tang Dynasty(618–907), of which we find the theme and the tune title are one: the magpie on a branch. By and by many lyrics were written to this tune and their themes became less and less related to the tune title. For instance, Feng Yansi (903–960) wrote many lyrics to this tune, one stanza of which reads as follows:

Who says my grief has been appeased for long?

Whenever comes spring,
