Why watch
戴建业 is a university professor of classical Chinese literature whose poetry lectures became a national phenomenon: funny, self-deprecating and unexpectedly moving. For Mandarin learners this is advanced, rewarding listening — a magnetic teacher explaining the canon.
What to expect
- Clear, expressive lecture Chinese — advanced listening, but teachers speak more clearly than vloggers do.
- Chinese-led narration; try browser translation or subtitles where available.
- Subtitle availability can vary by video — browser page translation works well for titles and comments.
