Pink Floyd's Allusions to Chinese Poetry:
Links
Links are divided into two parts: Pink Floyd links and Chinese poetry links. The list has unfortunately been heavily affected by link rot. I've included just a bit of what I've found, with more emphasis on Chinese poetry than Pink Floyd, simply because it's already very easy to find material about Pink Floyd on the Internet.
Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd's debt to Chinese poetry
Lyrical Sources for Set the Controls (by Jim Beaker). This is the only site to present Johan Lif's original analysis in detail. Unfortunately it appears to no longer exist, although a copy can be found here.
Echoes FAQ#3 Refers to the source of Syd Barrett's Chapter 24 (the Yi Jing).
Echoes FAQ#4 Brief reference to the radio program in which Waters admitted to taking lyrics from Chinese poetry. There are lots of other sites like this.
Pink Floyd & Roger Waters sites
There are so many sites about Pink Floyd that it would be hopeless trying to list them all - and anyway, it's done better elsewhere. So I've just listed a page of links. Happy hunting!
The Great Wall of Links A site devoted to Floyd links.
