Inspiration from Nature

This is a collection of poems written in Chinese by Yingcai Xu and then translated by him into English. Yingcai is both a highly regarded translator and poet among Chinese. He is the president of Chinese Poetry Association and the Editor-in-Chief of "Poetry Hall". His poems are beautiful in language, witty and philosophical in theme, glittering with inspiration, infused with poetic sense, and above all, create what Chinese writers call "Yi Jing," artistic conception or the thematic meaning of each poem made alive through imageries.
