Chinese poetry
Classical Chinese poetry has been an influence both on modern Chinese poetry but also on the poetry of other languages. One group of languages on which Classical Chinese poetry had an early influence was the poetry of the neighboring linguistic groups (that is, the local sprachbund). For example, this influence is strong on certain early forms of Vietnamese poetry, Korean poetry. A more global influence has developed in modern times, including Beat poetry, exponents of which even produced translations of Classical Chinese poetry into English, such as Kenneth Rexroth ("One Hundred Poems From the Chinese", 1956) and Gary Snyder ("Riprap and Cold Mountain Poems", 1959, which includes translations of Hanshan).
