Midnight Songs Poetry

Midnight Songs poetry, also known as Ziye Songs or Tzu-yeh Songs, refers both to a genre of Chinese poetry and to a specific collection of poems under that name, composed during the fourth century CE. The genre holds major significance within the Classical Chinese poetry tradition, counting the poet Li Bai among its practitioners, and has influenced world poetry through translations such as those by David Hinton. Midnight Songs poems have been widely used as inspiration for later poetry.
