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 Humawere extremely significant ibuilding and shaping the culture of the Chinese nation. These works are both a cultural bond linking the thoughts and affections of Chinese people and aimportant bridge for Chinese culture and the world.
