Having background knowledge of the T'ang period of Chinese history and the culture's lore in general would have made these poems much more palatable, but there was still a good bit of universality. I liked poems by Li Ho, Tu Fu, Meng Chiao, and Tu Mu.

Maybe I'm just not suited for translated poetry from China.
