Features: This book selects ninety poets and one hundred thirty-eight poems, arranged into three major periods: the Liao Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty. The poems in each section are ordered by the birth years of the authors. For those whose birth years are unknown, their approximate active years are estimated based on their imperial examination success dates, death years, relevant biographical information, works, and social connections, and they are placed in the corresponding period. In some cases, the birth and death years of certain poets vary significantly across different historical records. This book generally adopts the views of authoritative contemporary scholars, while also briefly mentioning other interpretations.
