This book is illustrated by Yang Yongqing, who was nominated for Hans Christian Andersen Award, for Lu Xun Medal, and won the first prize in the National Children’s Book Illustration. It selects widely known ancient poems in the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Western and Eastern Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasty. With rich Chinese elements, the traditional Chinese painting brings to the children an aesthetic feast. For instance, beautiful and tranquil pastoral poems cultivate children’s interest and love toward life; lofty landscape poems, said to be “paintings of poetry and poetry in paintings”, make the children proud of the magnificent landscapes in our country; high-spirited frontier fortress poems leave the feelings of masculinity and patriotism in the readers; and poems of parting and missing with deep love tell the readers the value of kinship and friendship.
