Chinese Poetry Collection

[About This App] The Android app "Must-Read Chinese Poetry Collection," originally released in 2015, has been fully remade from the ground up using the latest technology after 11 years! This is a reading and learning app featuring a carefully curated selection of classic, masterpiece Chinese poems. These are the universally known poems—the ones taught in elementary and middle schools across China, where "everyone knows at least the title." It has been reborn as the perfect app for those who want to reminisce about their school literature classes, fans of Chinese literature and history (such as the Three Kingdoms), and anyone studying the Chinese language. [Newly Upgraded Features] ■ Carefully Selected Masterpieces & Detailed Explanations Includes works from historically renowned poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, and Su Shi (including Tang poetry and Song Ci). Every poem comes with a modern translation and detailed commentary, allowing you to deeply appreciate the historical context and the poet's emotions. ■ "My Memo" Feature for Your Own Interpretations Each poem page features a sticky-note-style memo function! You can permanently save your own reading notes and study memos, such as "I love this expression" or "It could also be interpreted this way." You can also export all your saved memos at once as text. ■ Powerful Cross-Search System Instantly find the poem you're looking for by searching not only by "Author," "Era" (Tang, Song, etc.), and "Title," but also by the text within your own memos. ■ Automatic Japanese/Chinese Bilingual Switching The app automatically switches between Japanese and Chinese (Simplified) based on your device's OS language settings. You can also manually switch languages with a single tap in the app, making it great for language study. ■ 7 Theme Color Options Freely change the app's overall theme color to match your mood for the day, with 7 colors to choose from (Blue, Green, Purple, Red, etc.). ■ Fully Offline Compatible Once downloaded, you can smoothly read all the poems and use the memo features anywhere, even without an internet connection. [Message from the Developer] This is a personal app I created for my own programming study and as a memorandum for Chinese poetry. The older version released in 2015 had to be abandoned due to a lost signing key (Keystore). Therefore, I built this from scratch and am re-releasing it as a completely new app! Note: The translations and commentaries of the poems are independently compiled based on books and online resources. There may be translation errors or subtle differences in nuance, but I hope you will look upon them kindly as this is a personal study app.
