Book Cover, Poems of a thousand masters

Poems of a thousand masters (千家诗; Qianjia Shi) is a Chinese poetry anthology primarily comprising classical poems from the Tang and Song dynasties. It was originally titled "A selection of poems by a thousand distinguished poets of the Tang and Song dynasties” compiled by Liu Kezhuang (1187-1269) and subsequently condensed by Xie Fangde (1226–89).[1]: 227  It had been used as a children's poetry textbook throughout the late imperial eras. Ming dynasty Wang Xiang added more five-character quatrains (绝句, juéjù) and regulated verses (律诗, lǜshī) to the collection. The widely circulating edition includes 226 poems by 126 poets, divided into four volumes based on poetry form. The title "a thousand masters" is more hyperbolic than descriptive.[1]: 227  The top three Tang poets featured in the anthology are Du Fu (twenty three poems), Li Bai (nine poems), and Wang Wei (six poems).[1]: 228
