I'm reading an old book from China, called Journey to the West. There are a number of poems used throughout the saga.
There's a phrase they've used several times, which always makes me scratch my head. Though it may just be a translation thing. Sometimes when they're talking about a certain event, they'll lead up to a piece of poetry by saying, "here's a poem that proves it." As though writing a poem about something is proof that it happened. And no one can provide false evidence.
Or maybe it's a statement about the power of a poem? I'm not sure. I'd need a literature scholar to explain that one to me!
