Features: The odes to objects selected in this book date back to the late Qing Dynasty. These works are only a small part of the vast number of odes to objects written by ancient poets. If odes to objects are compared to the ocean, then the selections made in this book are merely drops or a few drops from that ocean. There are too many excellent odes to objects from ancient times, and the author often feels it is difficult to make selections. These poets wrote a large number of odes to objects, with many outstanding pieces, but only one or two could be chosen from each. Additionally, there are numerous ancient poems, and it is impossible to select every single one, so only a portion could be included. Among the unselected poets, there are also many excellent works. Therefore, this book strives to select the best from the best, but it is likely only a glimpse into the, a brief view of the landscape.
