Jiang Kui Poem by Jeffrey Yang
Jiang Kui
Jing Wang translates Jiang Kui
of the Northern Song: 'In writing poetry,
it is better to strive to be different
from the ancients than to seek to be
identical to them. But better still than
striving to be different is to be bound
to find one's own identity with them,
without striving to identify;
and to be bound to differ with them,
without striving to differ.'
