Chinese Poems for Students of Chinese

This ebook is a companion to the series in print entitled ';Chinese Poems for Students of Chinese', volumes 1 and 2. Its aim is to help students become familiar with, and memorise, any or all of the poems presented as texts in these two printed titles. Sixty five poems, mainly 5- or 7-character cut-shorts, are provided here, in the form of simplified Chinese characters alongside their pinyin pronunciations. They are in a form readily viewed on a mobile phone or tablet, so that the student can look up and work on the poems while on the go, as an aid to committing each verse to memory, with a view to writing, or declaiming out loud. The document is intended for use in conjunction with the parent volumes, in which explanatory notes, meanings of each character, and renditions of the poems in English are also provided.
