Reading across screen sizes Adapts to iPhone Duo folds and window changes. On wide screens, artwork and reading areas can appear in separate columns. Reading position and narration progress are retained as the layout changes.

See the scene behind the words Read on warm, paper-inspired pages, turn from one poem to the next, and pause over an illustration or a line that stays with you.

Find your own way through the collection Follow four editorial reading stages, from an easy introduction to deeper reading. Browse by poet, theme or poetic form, or search for a favorite. Poems from different dynasties share one reading path; the stages are not school grade levels.

Read across languages Choose an interface in English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese. English, Japanese and Korean translations and guides cover the full collection. Switch between the Chinese original, a translation or a bilingual view.

Listen to the Chinese originals All 317 poems include prerecorded, AI-generated Mandarin narration with line highlighting, pause and seek controls, and playback while the screen is locked. Poems, illustrations and audio are bundled for offline use. Narration is in Chinese, not in the translation languages.
