The Columbia Book of Chinese Poetry: From Early Times to the Thirteenth Century (Translations from the Asian Classics Series)
I needed to read the major Chinese formal poets (Li Po, Tu Fu) as well as the zen poets (Han Shan, T'ao Yuan-ming/T'ao Ch'ien, Po Chu-i, Su Tung-p'o) to get a better feel of taoism and the Chinese sensibility in general. The things that struck me were the melancholy, sensitivity, and realism of the Chinese mind. These people are not dreamers/idealists, although Li Po had a couple of fantastical poems which were great! Everything is about nature, the concrete, the here and now, and of course taoistic thinking such as not judging or dividing. The ancient Chinese artistic types seemed to really know how to live and appreciate every moment of beauty.
As far as this Burton Watson translation is concerned it seems good. But I haven't compared it with any other anthologies.
