A Journey to the Kingdom of Ancient Chinese Poems

This project aims to provide the audience a ticket to the fascinating garden of ancient Chinese poems from the age of Warring States to the years of Chinese Revolution. Language used in the ancient Chinese poems are dramatically different from what Chinese people use in every day's dialogue. The antique language in those poems applies abstruse vocabulary and very flexible grammar. Meanwhile, the emotions of the poet is profound and can jump out of the paper when you understand the grammar and vocabulary. Most of them follow very restrictive rhythms and format notwithstanding extraordinary imagination.
