A Chinese Poem - 月下獨酌 "Drinking Alone with the Moon"

[Enochcainx256]

How wonderfully recited! I am American but studying Mandarin, your tones are so far superior to mine! Any tips on what you did to practice to get that good at it?

[XaimeB]

Nicely done! I did some Mandarin a few years back. It's always great to hear classical Chinese poetry read with the meters and the tones done well!

There's a marvellous version sung in the film A Touch of Zen

My favourite Tang poem! Never heard it recited before.

You're not drinking alone with your shadow and the moon tonight. (^---^)[_]3

I found a beautifully framed calligraphic rendering of Li Po/Li Bai's poem "Green Mountain" in the garbage and I took it home and hung it over my couch. It was my introduction to this poet, and Chinese poetry in general. It's also been a great conversation piece for years. But now the painting is damaged. I'm getting a rendering of this poem to replace it. Drinking Alone With The Moon resonated with me. Maybe because I'm a high functioning alcoholic with spiritual aspirations. LOL. But seriously
