Cold Mountain: 100 Poems by the T'ang Poet Han-shan
Cold Mountain 100 Poems by the T'ang Poet Hanshan Author:Han-Shan The poems of Han-shan are products of the golden age of Chinese poetry and also of the rise of Ch'an (Zen) Buddhism in the T'ang dynasty. Besides having a wide influence on later religious literature in China and Japan, they have been considered among the classics of Chines poetry generally. Han-shan has attracted the attention of such translato... more »rs and poets as Arthur Waley and Gary Snyder, but Professor Watson's selection of one hundred poems, representing about one third of Han-shan's works, is the largest collection so far in English translation.
