Three+Hundred+Tang+Poems

=Three Hundred Tang Poems= The //**Three Hundred Tang Poems**// (Chinese: 唐詩三百首; pinyin: //Tángshī sānbái shǒu//) is an anthology of poems from the Chinese Tang Dynasty (618 - 907) first compiled around 1763 by Sun Zhu (孫誅), the Qing scholar also known as Hengtang Tuishi (衡塘退士 "Retired Master of Hengtang"). Various later editions also exist. All editions contain over 300 poems: in this case, "//Three-hundred//" means not exactly three-hundred; but, rather, this refers to an estimative quantification, meaning "approximately three-hundred". The ten, twenty, or more extra poems represent a sort of a good luck bonus, analogous to the "baker's dozen", in the west. Dissatisfied with the anthology //Poems by a Thousand Masters// (//Qianjiashi// 千家詩) compiled by Liu Kezhuang in the late Southern Song, Sun selected the poems based on their popularity and educational value. The collection has been popular ever since and can be found in many Chinese households. For centuries, elementary students memorized the poems and used them to learn to read and write. It contains poems by Du Fu, Li Bai, Wang Wei, Li Shangyin, Meng Haoran, Han Yu, Du Mu, Bai Juyi, Liu Changqing, Cen Shen, Wang Changling, Wei Yingwu, and more. Of the Tang poets which are most notable in modern times, //Three Hundred Tang Poems//, conspicuously contains no poems by Li He.
