Poetic Remarks In The Human World [traditional Chinese-English]
Ching-I Tu's translation of Poetic Remarks in the Human World contains 111 notes and a comparison of Chinese and English names. The translation was reviewed by famous sinologists. As far as the English translation of "People's Words" is concerned, the version of Tu Jingyu is the earliest published English translation. The translation of Tu Jingyi was translated into the main contents of the 64th issue of the Journal of the State of the Chinese Culture. The 64 articles were selected and published by Wang Guowei himself, including Wang Guowei's main poetic concept and evaluation of poets and poetry. Dr. Wang Shijie, then president of the Taiwan Academia Sinica, and Professor Liu Ruoyu, a Chinese poetry scholar with a good reputation in the United States, gave high praise.

Editor's Choice
Wang Guowei (1877—1927), a native of Haining, Zhejiang, was a famous scholar in the period of Chinese modern times. Wang Guowei accepted the influence of Western philosophy and aesthetic thoughts, and analyzed Chinese classical literature with Western philosophy, aesthetics and literary viewpoints. The "Human Words" is a representative work. "Human Words" was written in 1908~1909. It is the most prestigious literary criticism work in modern China. The whole book takes "artistic conception" as the core and regards it as the principle and criticism standard of word creation. In theory, it has reached a very high level and has far-reaching effects. Since the advent of "Human Words" in the early 20th century, there are only two existing translations. The authors are Taiwanese scholar Tu Jingyu and American scholar Li You'an, which represent different characteristics of translators who have different backgrounds in their native language. The reference will enable Chinese and foreign readers to grasp the essence of Wang Guowei's "Human Words" ideology, and the earlier translation of Taiwanese scholar Tu Jingyu.

Recommendations
This book is a popular reading material for culture. The book is a combination of traditional Chinese characters and English. It is suitable for students and scholars interested in Chinese culture as a model for research. It is also applicable to embassy staff and cultural promotion commissioners to teach Chinese culture.

编辑推荐
王国维（1877—1927），浙江海宁人，是中国近、现代相交时期的一位著名学者。王国维接受了西方哲学和美学思想的影响，运用西方哲学、美学、文学观点剖析中国古典文学，《人间词话》是其代表性作品。《人间词话》作于1908~1909年，是中国近代最负盛名的文学批评著作，全书以“意境”为核心，将其视为词创作的原则和批评标准。在理论上达到了很高的水平，影响深远。 
自20世纪初《人间词话》问世以来，现有的译本仅有两个，作者分别是台湾学者涂经诒和美国学者李又安，分别代表了不同母语背景的译者创作译文的不同特色，两种译文互相参照，更能让中外读者把握王国维《人间词话》词论思想的精髓，完成较早的是台湾学者涂经诒的译文。
