Want to learn to write ancient poetry...what books should I read?

Long Yusheng's "Poetic Metrics", "Ten Lectures on Poetry".

The book focuses on meter and is not an anthology of poems, so there are no notes on the poems cited. There are different editions of the quoted poems; the author has chosen the editions, but in order to save space and avoid tediousness, he does not intend to add collating notes in every place.

Ten Lectures on Poetry is rich in calligraphic works and poetic works to illustrate the relationship between the two, vivid and vivid. The language is colloquial and fluent, and the exposition is incisive and well-organized. Therefore, this book is very suitable for college calligraphy professional teaching materials, but also for the majority of art enthusiasts for self-study.
