Features: "The Great and the Small Books," a very playful name. This term "The Great" encompasses two meanings: First, the author of the book is a renowned figure; second, the book is written for the general public, serving as reading material for everyone. The term "The Small" refers solely to its length, as the book is relatively concise in size. However, in terms of academic rigor, it is by no means lightweight; some of its content is quite substantial. This book is a collection of essays by the author on the study of ci poetry and qu tunes, including research articles such as "Tang Dynasty Folk Ci and Poets' Experimental Writings," "On Yuan Dynasty Sanqu," and "On the Application of Sheng and Shang Rhymes in Long-Form Tunes."
