National Book Award–winner Arthur Sze presents a one-of-a-kind anthology that vividly traces Chinese poetry from its centuries-old lyrical traditions up to the present day. In The Silk Dragon II, National Book Award–winning poet Arthur Sze presents a sophisticated vision of the vitality, diversity, and power of the Chinese poetic tradition. Traveling over one and a half millennia, Sze guides readers through a luminous history of verse, from the contemplative insights of fifth century poet Tao Qian, through Tang dynasty poets such as Wang Wei and Du Fu, and into subsequent centuries in which lived such innovative artists as Li Qingzhao and Bada Shanren, among many others. Extending the work from the original 2001 volume, The Silk Dragon II then traces classical Chinese poetry’s eruption into the free verse of the modern and contemporary eras, introducing groundbreaking poems by the Chinese Modernist master Wen Yiduo, as well as those from major living poets such as Wang Jiaxin, Zhai Yongming, and Xi Chuan. Through this remarkable journey—deepened by Sze’s personal introduction—we see that the “impossible task” of translation is yet rich with encounter, as both long-lost voices and those still speaking enter the same conversation, with the same vivacity.

Arthur Sze has rare qualifications when it comes to translating Chinese: he is an award-winning poet who was raised in both languages.

Also included is an informative insightful essay on the methods and processes involved in translating ideogrammic poetry. MOONLIGHT NIGHT by Tu Fu can only look out alone at the moon. From Ch'ang-an I pity my children who cannot yet remember or understand. Her hair is damp in the fragrant mist. Her arms are cold in the clear light. When will we lean beside the window and the moon shine on our dried tears? Sze's anthology features poets who have become literary icons to generations of Chinese readers and scholars. Included are the poems of the great, rarely translated female poet Li Ching Chao alongside the remorseful exile poems of Su Tung-p'o. This book will prove a necessary and insightful addition to the library of any reader of poetry in translation.

SILK DRAGON is a story of adventure on the high seas, fierce battles with hostile kings and behind-the-scenes intrigue within the royal court. It's a story of competition among royal concubines, accumulation of fabulous riches and justice by the sword. SILK DRAGON is also a love story. Zheng He's childhood sweetheart, Xi Chen, is forced to become a lady-in-waiting to the imperial court. She desperately loves Zheng He and has pledged never to share herself with another man. But when Emperor Zhu Di requests that Zheng He bring Xi Chen to his private quarters, the faithful servant is forced to obey. Zheng He, Xi Chen and Emperor Zhu Di share a relationship that is both tragic and beautiful. The three are drawn together into a web of circumstance that is at the very core of China's strength and weakness. SILK DRAGON is the story of Zheng He, who, as a man of vision, satisfies the dreams of his emperor, but cannot satisfy the dreams of his own heart. It's the story of Xi Chen, the beautiful lady-in-waiting, who is torn between the man she loves and the love she knows is demanded by another man. And it's also the story of Zhu Di, the emperor who tries to build a dynasty for China, but knows he may lose everything he has ever tried to build because of his own traitorous son.

Robes with dragons first appeared in China during the Ming dynasty, and under the Qing dynasty they were worn on official occasions by the country's emperors and ruling elite. After the Qing fell in 1911, their wear became less frequent, but they are now avidly collected and displayed in museums and private collections throughout the world. This fully illustrated guide introduces Chinese dragon robes and their complex history, exploring several varieties of robes and their contemporary variations. It also addresses their construction techniques and, as guidance for dating the robes, provides detailed illustrations showing how the designs of dragons and surrounding symbols evolved through the centuries.

The Weaving Maid wove robes of silk for Heaven, but when she met the Cowboy, she abandoned her loom to be with him. But Heaven would not allow this, and put the Milky Way in between them.

Across a span of seventy-five years both in China and America, each girl shows the strength and courage of a dragon as she fights and sacrifices for the survival of her family and the pursuit of passion.
