Features: "The Chu Ci" is a new poetic form that emerged after the "Book of Songs," opening up new realms for classical Chinese poetry and marking a new stage in its development. Later generations often referred to the "Book of Songs" and "The Chu Ci" as "Feng and Sao," using them as models for their own writing. "The Chu Ci" includes works by authors such as Qu Yuan, Song Yu, and Jia Yi. The author, Nie Shiqiao, has compiled and annotated this book based on the Ming-era reprinted Song edition of "Supplementary Notes on The Chu Ci" and the Song Duantian edition of "Collected Annotations on The Chu Ci," while also referencing other important annotations from various dynasties. He has chosen the best texts among different versions and provided summaries of variant readings that are worth referencing. It took the author over twenty years to complete this book. For readers who love classical Chinese literature, this is a book that is enjoyable for both the refined and the general public, making it well worth reading.
