It is not easy to understand Du Fu’s poetry at a glance. Based on rich knowledge, his poems enable multiple ways of interpretations. It has been much eagerly awaited, therefore, to publish an edited volume on his poetry with both a scholarly perspective and a popular approach. To do this, nine scholars collaboratively selected and published fifty-seven poems of Du Fu, which demonstrate both scholarly quality and the nature of popular literature, along with introduction of each work. In order to better introduce readers to the quality of Du Fu’s free verse, poems were translated mostly word-for-word into Korean. < The Anthology of Du Fu’s Ancient Style Poetry Masterpiece > is an essence of scholarly efforts of the nine authors who have been involved in comprehensive translation of Du Fu’s poetry for twenty years.
