Poetry in Tang Period: Three Poems - Three Poets Li Bai, Lu Zhaolin and Shi Juanwu

Abstract

Poetry is the prominent lyrical style of Tang Period (618 – 907). During this period Chinese poetry flourished to its climax in sense of quantity and quality. Contents of the poems usually brought about the perspective of poets’ view on social life by means of using natural metaphors as the utensils for building up the background and the scene. Li Bai is well known for his inguinity on this style and justly named after as the ‘undying poet of China’. Besides him, Lu Zhaolin and Shi Juanwu are less known poets who took different paths on their works. The three selected poems of these poets are translated into Turkish by trying to catch the the most suitable form.
