Tang Poets: 杜甫, 王维, 白居易

A museum of Chinese culture is recording audio-guide scripts for an exhibition on Tang poetry. Write the script (200–400 characters) for the panel on one poet: 杜甫, 王维 or 白居易. Give his dates and his life in brief, the style he's known for, one famous line and what it means, and why he still matters.

  • The poet's life: dates, 字, 尊称, and a historical event (安史之乱)
  • His style with 以…著称 or 被称为
  • One famous line quoted and paraphrased (意思是…)
  • Audio-guide register: 各位观众, 您现在看到的是, 请看

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
