The Tang and Song dynasties, spanning more than 600 years from the 8th to the 13th centuries, saw a period of great economic and cultural development in Chinese society. During this golden age of classical literature, numerous masterpieces were written, which have exerted a profound influence ever since. This collection contains the work of eighteen clasical authors, including the major poets Wang Wei, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Su Shi and Lu You, as well as the great prose stylists Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan and Ouyang Xiu. This collection is only a small sample of the voluminous literature of the Tang and Song. However, in its variety, it should prove informative and interesting for specialists and general readers alike.
