你 们 最 喜 欢 的 中 国 诗 人 是 谁 ？
我 最 喜 欢 的 是 唐 朝 的 李 白 。

床 前 明 月 光 ，
疑 是 地 上 霜 。
举 头 望 明 月 ，
低 头 思 故 乡 。

Bright moon light in front of the bed,
Thought it was frost on the ground.
Lift up my head and see the bright moon.
Lower my head and miss my home...

李 白
Li Bai

Can you read or write Mandarin? The English part was translated by me with a little fix in English from my teacher. Feel free to use it next time.

My pleasure.

Is Li Bai a better poet or Shakespear a better poet? I believe Li Bai is the better poet.  

[Niphz]

...ahhhhh.

The style is too different to compare.

English poetry tends to have more subtleties and nuances and wordplay and double meanings, but Chinese tends to be more 大气, if that makes any sense.

I'm an Eng Lit student, have to stick with Shakespeare on this one.. s'ry. xD

 

[kt_jingle]

lol.
i'm currently studying romeo and juliet.
Our teach let us watch the 1968 version and the leonardo di caprio one.
and the 1968 one was nicer (:
aye. reminds me of 红楼梦。  

[Etaf Evael]

@Niphz Yes, they are from two very different cultures. The language of English and Chinese 是 一 天 一 地 。
Li Bai is more 浪 漫 主 义 。

@Kjingle I never read 红 楼 梦 and Romeo Juliet before. I have read 三 国 演 义 ， 西 游 记 。 Maybe I will read them someday. I like to read 武 侠 小 说 。

三国演义！！！我的最爱，我也看过英文版的！！！at a friend's house...it turned out extremely wierd and i was like:"???"
词曰：
　　　　滚滚长江东逝水，浪花淘尽英雄。是非成败转头空。青山依旧在，几度夕
阳红。　　白发渔樵江渚上，惯看秋月春风。一壶浊酒喜相逢。古今多少事，都付
笑谈中。
　　话说天下大势，分久必合，合久必分。...
heart 李白！！！岳飞ROCKS AT宋词！！
