Summary "竹齋集" by Mian Wang is a collection of classical Chinese poetry likely composed during the late 13th century. This anthology showcases a variety of poetic forms, prominently featuring regulated verse that reflects upon nature, nostalgia, and philosophical musings. The themes present in this collection indicate a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world and a contemplative outlook on life. The opening of "竹齋集" introduces a series of seven-character regulated poems that eloquently express the poet's emotions and reflections on historical sites and the passage of time. Through evocative imagery, the poems reminisce about past glories, the bittersweet nature of memory, and the enduring beauty of landscapes. The tone fluctuates between nostalgia and a serene acceptance of the transient nature of existence, capturing a poetic essence that resonates with both personal and universal themes. Each piece invites readers to ponder their own experiences in relation to the changing world around them, setting a contemplative mood for the collection as a whole.
