Edward Chang's collection of Ci poems is extremely well presented and translated. It is especially useful for the student of classical chinese - it gives you the pinyin transliterations and the tones, which makes the study of poems so much easier. I love this book and his other works; Mr. Chang's approach to translating the classics is unique and accurate.
here is a wonderful anthology to a whole new world of wonderful imagery If Chinese poetry is new to you, or if you are a master, you will thoroughly enjoy these poems and fine translations.
Nice book.
