Original Chinese text, pinyin, and approachable translations help you experience each poem through its sound, imagery, and meaning. A POEM FOR EVERY DAY Begin each day with a carefully selected poem. Listen to it, read its translation, and discover the feelings and cultural imagery behind the original words. LISTEN AND READ Hear poems read aloud while following the original Chinese and pinyin. Choose the reading layout that feels most comfortable, from translation-first to side-by-side or original text. EXPLORE TIMELESS THEMES Discover poetry through themes such as the moon, seasons, friendship, farewell, mountains, rivers, flowers, and homesickness.
