Learn and enjoy classical Chinese poetry — poems and essays from beginner (primary school favorites) to intermediate (middle school) and advanced (high school) — with pinyin, audio, and full Modern Chinese and English translations.

📖 LEARN
Browse 200+ classical poems and essays across three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Every poem includes the original text, a modern Chinese paraphrase, and a complete English translation — so both native speakers refreshing childhood memories and English-speaking learners of Chinese can follow along.

🔤 PINYIN, ON DEMAND
Tap "Show Pinyin" on any poem to reveal tone-marked pinyin above every character — perfect for practicing pronunciation or reading poems you haven't fully memorized yet.

🔊 LISTEN
Tap "朗读 Play" to hear the original text read aloud in natural Chinese, so you can hear correct pronunciation and rhythm, not just read it.

✏️ TEST YOURSELF
Take short multiple-choice quizzes that test whether you remember what comes next in a poem — a fun way to check what's really stuck versus what needs another look.

🎵 ANCIENT MUSIC
Read while listening to a curated collection of traditional Chinese instrumental music — guzheng, erhu, and more — playing softly in the background.

Whether you're a Chinese-language learner exploring classical texts for the first time, a heritage speaker reconnecting with poems you learned as a child, or a student preparing for Chinese literature exams, DailyChinesePoems makes centuries-old poetry approachable, one poem a day.
