He also includes a translation of the entire collection, along with notes and commentary on each poem.The translation is done in a way that preserves the original style and structure of the poems, while also making them accessible to modern readers. Horne's commentary provides valuable insights into the historical and cultural context of each poem, as well as its literary and artistic qualities.Overall, The Shih King Or Classic Of Poetry 1700-600 B.C. is a fascinating exploration of one of the most important collections of poetry in Chinese literature.
