About this product
Product Information
Yang Wan-Li (1127-1206) is one of China's "four masters of Southern Sung poetry." These poems were written at what could be seen as a low point in Sung history: an invasion by the Jurchens had forced the Sung to flee to the southern city of Hangchow. But they created at Hangchow a refuge of elegant solitude from which they gazed longingly toward the north, and in this quiet setting, they were able to enjoy the beauties of nature. Many of the poems are perfect verbalizations of the magnificent landscape paintings of the Sung painters: misty, ethereal and luminous. The poetry, however, also holds the annoyances of overwork, aching feet, creaking bones and the pleasures of wine, filling it with humanity and a zest for living.

I recieved the book on the picture. And i'm glad about that.
However the packaging was weak and one of the corners got hurt in the shipping. I left a message in the order specifically talking about packaging because the book had to travel far. (The shipping cost a ton also.) And i tried to message the seller privately about it to no avail.
The condition was as described on the pic, that's why this isn't a negative review. I just wish it was wrapped more like the other books i ordered from ebay.
