Features: "Annotated Lyrics of Nalan" is one of the "Chinese Classical Literature Series," printed in traditional vertical characters, published, and distributed by Shanghai Ancient Books Press. When people mention Nalan's lyrics, what comes to mind first is his love poems. Indeed, love poems can be said to be the most distinctive and representative works of Nalan's personality. These works not only occupy more than one-third of the volume of Nalan's lyrics but are also the essence of all his poems. They are treasures forged from the poet's heart, tears, and ink. As predecessors said, Nalan's lyrics are "melancholy yet beautiful," and using these four characters as a general assessment of his love poems should still be appropriate.
