Life is the gift of nature, but beautiful living is the gift of wisdom.
 —Greek Adage
The ultimate good is beauty, and the ultimate joy lies in the creation or cherishing of the beautiful.
 —Schopenhauer

If the ultimate joy lies in the creation or cherishing of the beautiful,then ancient Chinese poets may be said to have enjoyed to the full bothbeauty and joy in their life, for two thousand years ago they created the beautiful Book of Songs and Elegies of the South, and one thousand years ago they created the more beautiful Tang poetry and Song lyrics. Of all these the last may be said to be the most beautiful, for Song lyrics can express more refined, more delicate, more subtle feelings.
