Chinese Classical Poem 0059 & Shirley Created Music-0049：E -- Goose

LISTEN TO THE TEXTLISTEN TO SHIRLEY PLAY & SING THE POEM

This is the first Chinese classical poem that I had introduced to you last May. Now, I would like to update it and match it a piece of new music that I have written for you.

This poem is very popular in China, for most of Chinese children start their Chinese learning from reciting this poem as their first Chinese lesson. Also, because it was written by a Tang Dynasty(A.D.618―907) poet Luo Bin Wang when he was just 7 years old. Most of parents hope their children can also be talent as Luo Binwang... :-)

I do hope that my music and saying will be a little bit help to your Chinese learning and to improve your listening ability... :-)

Goose

Luo Binwang (Tang)

Goose, goose, goose,
Bending her neck to sing to the sky,
Her white feather is floating on the green water,
Her red soles are rowing the blue waves.
