For thousands of years, poetry has been the favorite type of literature in China.There were many famous poets from different periods of time in Chinese history, and thousands of their poems are still read and appreciated today.

To remind people of those classic Chinese poems and to promote cultural heritage(遗产), China Central Television (CCTV) has produced a TV show — Chinese Poetry Competition. The finale of the hit show’s second season was shown on February 7th.

Wu Yishu, 16, who studies at the High School Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, came out on top. In an earlier episode(环节), Wu surprised the audience a lot when performing in a section entitled “Feihualing”. The games’ theme was “yue”. She recited lines from the Classic of Poetry, the earliest collection of poems in China.

As the old saying goes, “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance.” “The first time I saw her wearing traditional Han clothing on TV, I was impressed by her classical looks and good behaviors, ” said Huang Zijin, 16, a senior 2 students from Ningbo High School in Zhejiang province, “and I really admire her knowledge of poems.”
