Tao Yuanming (365–427), also known as Tao Qian, is one of the greatest of Chinese poets. Living in the Jin dynasty, a time of turmoil, he could not abide serving in the corrupt government of the day and sought retirement back near his hometown, on a farm. His most famous pieces reflect this although he did write on a variety of themes. He also penned a number or works on “drinking wine.” This book translates all his poetry and prose and is accompanied by the Chinese text in traditional characters. There are footnotes for most of the direct allusions in his work.

100 Poems from the Chinese: From the Shijing to Mao Zedong

This book is a centenary reissue of Shigeyoshi Obata’s noted translation of Li Bai, (earlier known as Li Po in English), originally published in 1922. Obata’s text is presented in its entirety but we have added supplementary material. The editor's foreword includes a brief biography of the translator, and will also touch on Li Bai. An updated reading list is provided. We have also updated the original text’s Wade-Giles transcriptions, used in the English translation mainly for proper names, to today’s standard pinyin. 
Most importantly, we are adding the original Chinese text of the poems and biographies, in traditional characters, on facing pages. Anyone wishing to delve deeper into the translation will conveniently be able to do so.
