Features: Tang poetry, Song lyrics, and Yuan qu are three magnificent peaks in the history of Chinese literature, representing the essence of traditional Chinese culture. Every Chinese person cannot refuse this precious heritage. However, collections of poetry, lyrics, and qu are vast and endless, making it impossible for most people, whether ancient or modern, to read them all. As a result, various selected editions have emerged. Among them, the three most widely circulated and most suitable for beginners are: the Three Hundred Tang Poems by the Qing Dynasty’s Tangtang Tuisi, the Three Hundred Song Lyrics by the modern master of lyric poetry Zhu Xiaozai, and the Three Hundred Yuan Qu by the modern expert of qu Ren Zhongmin and Lu Qian. These three selected editions possess unique insights, select the essence, and balance comprehensiveness, hence earning widespread praise from experts and popularity among the general public, as well as enduring the test of time. To facilitate readers, this book combines the three selections into one, provides concise and essential annotations, and makes appropriate corrections.
