Features: The Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties refer to the eight writers Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Ouyang Xiu, Zeng Gong, Wang Anshi, Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe. Their works represent the highest achievements of ancient prose. Since the name "Eight Great Masters" was established in the Ming Dynasty, although various selected editions and prose collections have been published, no comprehensive collection that is both exhaustive and well-edited for easy reading has been released so far. For this reason, the editorial committee of this book has invited many experts and scholars to proofread and organize the collections of each master, compiling them into The Collected Works of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. This collection serves as valuable research material for professional scholars and also serves as a standard reference for general readers to read and appreciate famous masterpieces.
