For thousands of years, poetry (诗) has been the favorite type of literature (文学) in China. There were many famous poets from different periods of time in Chinese {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, and most of their poems {#blank#}2{#/blank#} still read and appreciated today.

    To remind people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} those classic Chinese poems, CCTV has produced a TV {#blank#}4{#/blank#} called Chinese Poetry Competition. The final of the show's second season was shown in February. A girl {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Wu Yishu who studies at the High School Affiliated to Fudan University, came out to be the winner of the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. She recited lines from the Classic of Poetry (《诗经》): “In July, the crickets (蟋蟀) are in the field; In{#blank#}7{#/blank#}, they are in the yard; In September, they are at the door; In October, the crickets enter and crawl under oar beds.” “I really admire {#blank#}8{#/blank#} knowledge of poems. The first time I saw her  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} traditional Han clothing on TV, I was very impressed by her classical looks. She always keeps so calm through the show, which is very {#blank#}10{#/blank#} for her age.” said Huang Zijin after watching the final show.

    Mr. Huang also said we would find Chinese cultured and taste the beauty of life by enjoying poems.
