When Liu Yan wrote to me to say that she has written a book on a method to learn Ancient Poetry by using Mind Maps, I was very excited. Mind Maps are a perfect tool to learn and remember poetry. Tony Buzan, who was a prolific poet, publishing many thousands of poems, believed Mind Maps and poetry with inextricably connected.
Liu has shared some pages of the book with me. I was very pleased to see that the illustrations of the Mind Maps are of a very high standard. Each one is a piece of artwork in itself, using beautiful colors and inspirational drawings.
Liu Yan is the world champion of the 8th World Mind Map Championships in 2016, and as the head coach of the Chinese team in 2017, she also trained new worldu0027s mind map champion and third winner.
Liu Yan has accompanied Mr. Buzan many times to teach disciples in China, and she is a Mind Maps tutor whom Mr. Buzan appreciates and recommends very much.
Liu Yan strictly follows the laws of Mind Mapping, ensuring that the maximum capacity for remembering is maintained. The use of colorful pictures makes remembering the poetry very easy and is also great fun. Tony Buzan would have been very proud to see his memory tool, the Mind Map, being used is such an effective way.
This book is an important documentation of traditional chinese poetry, something that every person should read and enjoy.
