Parental love is right; the world is wrong

It's so boring when you're not here!

Meng Haoran juggles words

Casually blending death in with sex

Farmers' daughters

A national leader who sacrificed women

Quan Deyu watches a departure

Time for lust

Meng Haoran chooses drink

Sardonic epigrams

Dead. Pan.

Has a poet ever found a monk?

Du Fu bids goodbye at the graveside

Wang Wei views with a painterly eye

Welcome to the waterverse

Wei Yingwu is my friend now

Qian Qi is in a rustic Eden

I fear I haven't done Wei Yingwu justice

Liu Changqing mourns the fate of a general

Li Bai goes other-worldly

Wang Wei brings the martial energy

Those poor, self-sacrificing capitalists

How not to argue online

Li Bai dreams of the past

Everything reminds him of death

Dejected Du Fu

JH Prynne is nonsense

Back with a Du Fu whimsy

He really believed this one

A young Li Bai bids farewell to...

The flowers of Chengdu are fantastical

I just got To Live

Fantasia on a theme by Li Bai

Chinese rock concert appreciation

Chinese rock seems to be in good hands

In the City of Silks

Liu Zongyuan celebrates his rustication

Fake Flower Fun (4/n)

Must good poetry be emotionally urgent?

Fake Flower Fun (3/n)

Fake Flower Fun (2/n)

Even better than the real thing (1/n)

Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes is too hard for AI

Pure sensory data

Ladyparts remains amazing

The stars and the turning of the seasons

Memes made of memes

Blame the birds

I'm a Little Teapot

Understated parting

Frere Jacques, Frere Jacques, the tigers are here

小白兔/Bunny White

Confusion, confusion

Finally, Meng Haoran with a bit of bite

I don't think AI will be a job-killer

Meng Haoran would like his entourage, please

Apropos of nothing, here's one for the big man

This much we know

The mysterious case of the textureless poem

All beauty passes

It's a hard road when you're poor

Gao Shi finds currying favour the hardest road

Forget the poetry, feel the cosplay

Weng Shou's walk is hard because

Xue Neng peruses the landscape of the soul

Qiji doesn't like wagging tongues

A monk gives counsel on worldly matters

Ted Hughes is as alien as Shakespeare

Seize the day by seizing your friends

Our days are short

No birds, no bees

Chang Jian sees the fantastic

Things change, life goes downhill

The eccentric Helan Jinming

A romantic ditty

Wang Changling's pitiless war

At the death of a tree, Lu Zhaolin wants to choose life

Wang Wei channels The Boss

Dai Shulun is so grumpy

Goodbye to all that

Wang Wei floats down the river

The case for caution in public service

Li Bai swears off the thug life

An interesting person on economics

A Hard Road to Walk

Language and AIs

Everything you need to know about art

The plants are in charge now

If you don't get the allusion...

Du Fu moves into a new place

A poem is worth so much more than money

Before K-pop, there was the Chang'an beat

Li Bai makes a martial declaration

Li Bai's geographical romance

Green ants!

Reflections on reflections

Spring is everywhere

Why AI won't take our jobs

When is a poem not a poem?

乔治乔治胖嘟嘟

Mazy days

Everyone wants a piece of me

Images, overlaid

The complete Wang River Collection

The church of nature

Lacquer trees always make me think of that old rogue

If a miraculous flower falls in the forest, but no-one sees it...

Wang Wei trills

Wang Wei's Wang River estate poems

The hardest part of teaching spoken English is that students have nothing to say

Can LLMs lie?

Out of Sight: The Lady Lu, 200 years later

Back to a simpler time

An aria of loneliness in the palace

Yellowface by R F Kuang is great

Coup is a lovely game for ESL
