History of Chinese Civilization, a series of bilingual books, will win over its readers with interesting and inspiring historical facts and stories, told in accurate yet vivid, simple yet thought-provoking words. With carefully chosen and arranged texts written both in Chinese and English, the books will help both westerners and Chinese readers learn more about the language as well as the history and culture of China. Many colorful illustrations throughout the series will give readers a better understanding of those facts and stories, which tell them about not only history but also how to learn from history.

History of Poetry traces the development of Chinese poetry and the evolution of its different styles. From the epic poems of the Han dynasty to the birth of Yue Fu (Chamber of Music) folksongs, to the Jian’an-style poetry and the Seven Masters of the Bamboo Forest, among others, there has been much diversity in the history of Chinese poetry.
