I'd vote for either Three Hundred Tang Poems or Ballad of Mulan (note: learned recently that Mulan features as a character in the Romance of Sui and Tang, so I should look that up).
Possibly a thing for the future, though I'm not sure whether there are good collections available: Jian'an poetry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jian%27an_poetry), which bridges the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Six Dynasties, said to mark the transition from folk songs to scholarly poetry. Three Kingdoms association bonus: the most prominent figure from this tradition is Cao Zhi (courtesy name Zijian), Cao Cao's third son (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cao_Zhi). My username comes from his 'hey let's maybe stop this infighting poem'.
