Du Mu (杜牧, 803-852), also known as Du Fanchuan (杜樊川), Xiaodu (小杜), and Du Shisan (杜十三), was an acclaimed Chinese poet from the
Tang Dynasty (唐朝, 618-907). In the "
Selected Chinese Poems of Du Mu" (学习杜牧的诗歌选) book series, let's
learn about some of the most famous ancient poems composed by
Du Mu (杜牧名诗鉴赏)! Each book in the series contains 10 Chinese poems. These books will help you self-learn
Mandarin Chinese language,
culture, and
history while appreciating the Chinese poems. Each book comes with the poems written in simplified Chinese
characters. Each poem is explained in the form of a dedicated essay. Further, detailed vocabulary with
pinyin and
English has been provided for each of the poems. All titles in the series are suitable for the beginner (
HSK Level 1/2) students of Mandarin Chinese. Additional poems and resources for learning Mandarin Chinese are available on my personal blog (
www.ChinesePoems.net). Looking forward to your comments!
