Prose-poems written in the Song dynasty usually had no titles. Prose-poems
were to be sung, so they used their melody titles as their titles. You should
not be surprised if a poem's content does not match its melody title. If you
find (2) attached to a title in the following list, it means that this is the
author's second poem with the same melody title.

You may search Wikipedia or Britannica to find the biographies of the above
authors.
Frequency
Quality is more important than quantity. The readers also need time to digest
the material. I will e-mail you one story (essay or poem) in Microsoft Word
format (doc) each week. If you prefer the web format, I can e-mail you my story
in html or htm format.
Copyrights
For national media outlets, the copyrights of my work in your country will
first come, first serve. Once you accept my proposal, you automatically obtain
the copyrights in your country. I will not sell my stories to another media
enterprise in your country. In my opinion, good literature should be popularized
all over the world so that everyone can benefit from it. Because every country
has its own effective media, I will preserve my rights to publish my work in
countries other than yours. It is of no use for you to have the copyrights in
countries outside yours. If your media enterprise is not national, then you
cannot have the copyrights of my work because it does not comply with the goal
of popularizing the legacy of Chinese classics all over the world. However, you
can obtain the permission from L. C. Wang Media Syndicate for publication until
a national media enterprise acquires the copyrights.
Price Policy
I will not set the price because I want it to be reasonable and affordable to
every media enterprise in the world. Your newspaper may set the price based on
how it pays other story contributors. You may set a temporary price and later
increase or decrease it. I really do not mind.
If you have any other questions or want to modify my proposal, please e-mail
me (my e-mail address:
lcwangpress@yahoo.com).
Sincerely,
Li-Chung Wang
