One I will definitely return to time and again. Review: Chinese Buddhist master poet d.841 - Bilingual edition with Chinese calligraphic text on the left-hand page and very good English translations on the facing right-hand page. These poems have deeply influenced Seamus Heany's works and that is how I came to know them. The translation presented in this edition is a very fine work in itself, done by a poetic scholar of Cold Mountain who lived and followed the traces of the poet in China for many years. Each poem is 8 lines in length and there are 307 of them all of which are copiously annotated with very detailed footnotes on the left-hand page under the Chinese text. Also included are 49 poems by his colleague (Shih-te) and 4 by (Feng-kan) This edition also includes several photos of the places where the poet lived and worked and a graphic map of China of the time of the poet. Many of these poems are little gems of insight and wit or of sarcasm and bitter irony. They are like seeds, seminal works which I think caused Seamus Heany's mind to take off in poetic flight. They may do the same for any serious poet who discovers them. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 339,714 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 202 in Taoism (Books) 224 in History of Buddhism 942 in Philosophy of Buddhism | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (171) | | Dimensions | 15.49 x 2.54 x 23.11 cm | | Edition | Revised and Expanded ed. | | ISBN-10 | 1556591403 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1556591402 | | Item weight | 476 g | | Language | English, Mandarin Chinese | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | 13 July 2000 | | Publisher | Copper Canyon Press | ## Images ![The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ngKeqfz3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful and evocative *by A***R on 27 February 2025* I absolutely love this collection of beautifully immersive verses.

Highly recommended, red pine is a brilliant translator of Taoist, and Chinese Buddhist works, with plenty of commentary, and foot notes, makes the translations so much easy to understand. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/62766155-the-collected-songs-of-cold-mountain](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/62766155-the-collected-songs-of-cold-mountain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
