It is believed that young friends who recite this book will benefit greatly from it, not only gaining literary knowledge but also enjoying beauty, and even improving their artistic cultivation. Three Hundred Song Lyrics selects works from 79 Song Dynasty poets, totaling 283 lyrics. Although the number is less than three hundred, it is referred to as "Three Hundred" as an approximate integer, which has become a conventional term. Zhu Zumu selected works without limiting himself to historians; as long as they were well-written, even the works of unknown authors were included. Although Zhu Zumu, due to his artistic limitations, included fewer works in the bold style, all selected works are superior examples of Song lyrics, which is commendable. Of course, Zhu Zumu was a feudal scholar with strong feudal thoughts, and these backward ideas were reflected in his compilation of the lyric anthology. For example, in the arrangement of works, he placed emperors at the front and monks and female lyricists at the back, demonstrating his feudal belief in the supremacy of the emperor and his contempt for women. These are unacceptable. Therefore, this book disrupts his previous arrangement and arranges the lyricists in chronological order of their lives, ensuring that all lyricists are treated equally before literature. In the process of annotations and comments, we fully considered the characteristics of young readers, striving for concise and clear language to ensure that young readers can understand it. At the same time, we introduce them to relevant stories about Song lyrics, enhancing the overall interest of the book. We believe that young friends who recite this book will benefit greatly from it, not only gaining literary knowledge but also enjoying beauty, and even improving their artistic cultivation. It is the best choice for parents who hope their children excel and young readers alike!
