Chinese ancient poetry was the heart and soul of Chinese anient literature. Poems and songs have been the means of entertainment of men from the earliest times onwards Records of Chinese ancient poetry have largely been found, from which a large amount of knowledge of ancient poetry of China can be obtained. Chinese ancient poetry was primarily written to be chanted or sung.
The poetic persona (表面形象) is a feature of classical Chinese poetry. The persona appears when the poem is written from the viewpoint of some other person. Some poems are comments on the then contemporary society and life. Images and symbolism are deeply associated with Chinese ancient poetry. Chinese ancient poems, although apparently simple in the first reading, have deeper and greater meanings when read intensively.
The earliest Chinese ancient poetry begins with The Book of Songs which is a collection of 305 poems. It was the first comprehensive compilation (辑) of Chinese ancient poems. Each poem in The Book of Songs was set to music and could be sung. Folk songs made up the most part of the book!Confucius, the great ancient philosopher, was fond of this book. It was also the accepted textbook of the Confucian school.
Chinese poetic history is extremely long and colorful. The Tang dynasty, the golden age of Chinese ancient poetry, produced many famous poems. Three Hundred Poems of the Tang Dynasty, was compiled by Heng Tang Tui Shi of the Qing dynasty. This was used for very many years to teach primary students.
Almost everything is the subject of Chinese ancient poetry including marriage, agriculture, courtship(求爱), sorrow and joys, romance, heroic deeds and so on. Generally, each poem is usually composed of lines of four, five or seven syllables. Translations of Chinese ancient poems are available in books and also online. Now these beautiful poems have attracted readers all over the world.

Imagine being a famous writer or a poet. What would life be like Sitting at desk all day long writing down inspiring words Racking one’s brain for hours until inspiration comes Actually , such a portrayal is very much mistaken. The truth is most writers need a day job to earn their living, and even after rising to fame, some of them still keep their day jobs for various reasons.
As writing was not profitable in itself, many authors needed a day job for financial support. The famous British writer Virginia Woof ran a publishing house apart from writing. She founded it together with her husband and it was they who first discovered and published T.S. Eliot’s well-known poem The Waste Land. T.S. Eliot himself worked as a bank clerk for nearly a decade, during which time he completed and published The West Land. Then he also chose publishing as a day job and joined a publishing company called Faber&Faber.
Some writers remained passionate about their day jobs and were reluctant to leave them even they became famous. Lewis Carroll, the writer of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, was actually a mathematician. He wrote a lot of books on mathematics under his real name, Charles Dodgson. The day job that took up nearly half of his lifetime was being a teacher at Christ Church, the largest college of the University of Oxford. He taught there for 26 years until his death.
To some writers , a day job was also a good source of writing material. Herman Melville , now one of the most recognized writers in Americas, had to take up any job that paid the bills. He used to work as a surveyor, a shipman, a teacher, a lecturer and a customs inspector. His most significant working experience was being a shipman on a whaler(捕鲸船) in the Pacific, from which he drew inspiration for Moby Dick(《白鲸记》).
5.Which of the following is NOT a reason why authors keep day jobs
A.To support their life B.To collect writing materials
C.To pay the bills D.To have a high social status.
6.Which of these authors worked as a teacher
A.T.S.Eliot B.Virgina Woolf
C.Ernest Hemmingway D.Lewis Carroll
7.T.S. Eliot leave the bank ________.
A.when he was writing The Waste Land B.when he met Virinia Woolf
C.after he pubished The Waste Land D.after he joined Faber& Faber
8.According to the passage , what was Herman Melville’s life like
A.Famous B.Leisurely C.Poor D.Successful
