This book is exquisitely illustrated by the accomplished artist Yang Yongqing, who has been awarded the Honorary Award of the National Press and Publication Administration and nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen Award. He integrates the traditional line drawing techniques of Eighteen Strokes with modern archaeological knowledge, creating beautiful illustrations with extraordinary imagination that make people resonate emotionally with Qu Yuan. The poetic translations of Huang Xiaodan and Dr. Wei Ting capture the essence of the original poems. On the basis of literal and free translations, they creatively employ three translation methods different from the usual word-for-word translations: addition, omission, and explicit translation, presenting a collision of poetic souls that are two millennia apart. The book’s texts and illustrations contain exquisite and refined cultural genes, providing an exceptional reference for the study of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the enormous literary world of literary masters, allowing readers to appreciate the aesthetic music of early the human and offering unique insights into creative ancient Hanfu design. The innovative cover design portrays Qu Yuan riding the phoenix and dragon, transcending a millennium to captivate the readers’ hearts. The colored illustrations at the beginning of the book, along with the black and white ink paintings in the book, rigorously interpret the matching texts, making the book a delightful read for readers.
