Chinese lyric poetry

Lyric poetry has two quotes from a Chinese source left in Chinese. Google is giving me gibberish, so could someone please include an English gloss beside the Chinese originals? — $Llywelyn II$ 08:29, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@LlywelynII:

Thank you for fixing this, along with a significant number of other problems with the article. ~E:71.20.250.51 (talk) 23:02, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome

Y'know the new software has a "thank" feature now, but it's still nice to hear however it happens.

Still, you've no idea what a good gloss on「《史记·屈原贾生列传》…形成悲愤深沉之风格特征。」and 「抒情性文学…的创作开创了元代理学家诗文创作的先河。」are, beyond Google's "Biography of Qu Yuan [& Jia Sheng?]" in the Records of the Grand Historian: "...the formation of the style characteristics of deep grief" and "The creation of literary lyricism to create a literary creation scientist Yuan agency precedent"? 'Cuz those don't seem right...;) —

「《史记·屈原贾生列传》…形成悲愤深沉之风格特征。」 could be "The Qu Yuan Jia Sheng (?) Biography in the Records of the Grand Historian ... formed the style characteristics of deep grief."
「抒情性文学…的创作开创了元代理学家诗文创作的先河。」 seems to mean "The creation of lyrical literature pioneered the first Yuan Dynasty philosophers' poetry." — SMUconlaw (talk) 16:44, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
