[Chinese] Three Hundred Tang Poems － Volume 3 - 唐诗三百首卷三

This audiobook is now complete and available to download from the catalogue page:- http://librivox.org/three-hundred-tang-poems-volume-3-by-various/

Compiled around 1763, 'Three Hundred Tang Poems' is the standard collection of the poetic art of the Tang Dynasty (618 to 907). Volume Three has poems in the style 五言律诗 'five character regular verse' (poems 90 to 169).

How to claim a part, and 'how it all works' here
To find a poem to record, simply look at the 'magic window' below. Choose any poem, whether it has already been recorded or not - we welcome multiple versions! Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which poem(s) you would like to read (include the poem number, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
New to recording?
Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
Is there a deadline?
Target completion date of this project: 30th September, but try to send your recordings as soon as you can. If you cannot do a poem you've claimed, for whatever reason, just let me know and it�ll go back to the pool. There�s no shame in this; we�re all volunteers and things happen.
Where do I find the text?
The poem numbers below link to the text, with translation and clickable dictionary entry for each character.
Please claim poems by quoting the poem numbers!

Thought I'd get re-acquainted with my home recording kit.
Poem 090 has been uploaded to your server. Took the liberty to make a new folder for volume 3.

Hi everyone, I'm new to recording at LibriVox (although I've enjoyed listening to recordings already), and look forward to the experience.

I'd like to record Wang Wei's poems, numbered 115-123, for this project.

Thanks much,

Goldwave

That would be wonderful, Goldwave!

I'd suggest you record one poem first, and send that in so I can do a quick technical check before you go too far. But if you've read the instructions all should be fine.

For interest, will you be reading in Mandarin or another dialect?
