Features: In the history of ancient Chinese literature, Yuan qu (a form of song lyrics) and Tang poetry and Song ci stand as a towering peak alongside each other. However, compared to Tang poetry and Song ci, the study of Yuan qu has been relatively neglected. As an expert in Yuan qu research, Professor Zhao Yishan's General Introduction to Yuan Qu, published in 1993, can be considered a rare gem in the field of Yuan qu studies in the last century, receiving widespread attention and praise. After ten years of research and accumulation, the author has revised and expanded this book, adding over 30,000 new words, incorporating many new materials and research findings, and correcting errors in the original edition.
