A Poem a Day: Tang & Song classics, gently

Looking for a daily Chinese poetry habit without clutter? Jizhi delivers one handpicked Tang or Song poem each day, with annotations that make classical verse readable.

What “a poem a day” means

A poem a day turns classical reading into one small daily act. You do not need to finish an anthology—just one poem, understood and enjoyed.

Jizhi’s daily selection comes from Tang and Song dynasty poetry, with notes that help modern readers follow famous lines without drowning in footnotes.

Why Jizhi for daily poems

Many daily-poetry tools only show a quote; heavy literature apps overwhelm. Jizhi sits in between: one complete poem, light enough to keep, rich enough to reread.

Use it to memorize, to learn classical Chinese gently, or simply to end the day with a verse. Students and poetry lovers both start here.

How to begin

Open Jizhi, read today’s poem, and skim the annotations. Save lines you love, then come back tomorrow.

Want the verse always in view? Add a Jizhi poetry widget to your home screen so the daily poem lives beyond the app.

On every device you use

Jizhi works on iPhone, Android, and the web—App Store, Google Play, or APK. Your daily poem habit travels with you.
