Chinese language, poetry creation and philosophy Season 1

This course, by far the most beautiful, in-depth course that I have designed among my seven courses published on Udemy, will teach you Chinese language, poetry, and poetry creation as well as the Chinese philosophical thoughts influencing poetry creation. My five-course language sequence published on Udemy in the past year, "college Mandarin Chinese On Your Own" is ranked no. 1 in student review and sales in the Chinese language category on Udemy.

Poetry is the most beautiful, concise use of a language, and the vocabulary of modern poetry is perfectly applicable for daily use. Learning poetry and poetry creation will allow you to acquire a language at its best and in a speedy, most impressive and memorable manner. The rhymed language (no matter it is the mechanical aspect of the rhyme or the rhythmic mood of poetry) and the startlingly original and beautiful use of language make the language in poetry easy to recite and highly memorable.

I choose my own created poems short-listed and chosen for publication in American's poetry competition (one of them is "New Woman's Voices" series) to highlight the features of Chinese language, Chinese philosophical thoughts behind the poems and the creative inspiration and creative process of writing poetry. For each poem, I have made it into extremely beautiful video with pictures, music and my own recitation, which brings into resonance the artistic contagion of different mediums of art. For learning each poem, I will give three lectures.

In the first lecture, I will lead you to learn the language in the poem. I will provide vocabulary list and teach you these vocabularies perfectly applicable to daily use and how to use them on daily occasion, I will explain to you the poem's literal meaning, and lead you to recite them. In the second lecture, I will explain in English the poetic meaning, philosophical thoughts and creative process behind each poem.
