The ABC of Sound Meters in Chinese Poetry (English edition) caters for readers from non-Chinese speaking countries who would like to know and appreciate classic Chinese poetry. The book has two parts with each part having 15 rhythms. The author analyzes the sound system of every rhythm and lists characters regularly used sharing the same rhythm so that readers can find which rhythm and correspondence character must be used. When analyzing sampled sentences, the author marks their pronunciation with pinyin, translates their meanings in English, points out how they are antithetic according to rhythms, and briefly introduces the background stories behind these sentences.
