Theodoros Papangelis, an academician from the Academy of Athens, discussed the contrasts in historical perspectives between East and West, highlighting the particularly strong respect that Chinese people hold for history. He made a cross-cultural comparison of love poetry in Greek and Chinese languages, noting the vast differences in style. Poems about romance in Chinese echo tenderness and a subtle melancholy, often using natural imagery like flowers as metaphors. The poems are frequently paired with music and dance, creating an intimate ambiance rarely found in Western literature and showcasing the distinctive allure of Chinese poetry.
