Features: The main text and appendices (historical records, anecdotes, chronicles, and reviews by various scholars) are punctuated using modern punctuation marks. Longer poems and prose are divided into paragraphs according to their meaning. Annotations are generally based on a comma or a sentence as a unit. The purpose of the annotations is to clarify the sources, explain the meanings of words, and provide information about relevant historical figures, places, and institutions. In cases where a (allusion) is cited but the sentence remains unclear, or where the language appears simple but the meaning is profound and difficult to grasp, the general idea is briefly explained. If phrases or sentences are borrowed from previous works or slightly modified, their original sources are indicated. Common expressions are generally not annotated. Worth reading.
