Features: This book consists of two parts: the upper part is the table of contents, and the lower part is the preface. The upper part, "A Catalog of Qing Shi Hua," organizes the 967 known Qing Shi Hua into five categories: (1) books titled "Shi Hua"; (2) poetic notes not titled "Shi Hua"; (3) poetic methods focusing on poetic form and rules; (4) Shi Hua on specific themes; (5) collected and compiled Shi Hua. This classification is not entirely perfect, but it can reveal the overall structure of Qing Shi Hua, the writing interests and quantity distribution of Qing poetic theorists, and provide a comprehensive understanding of Qing Shi Hua. The notes for each book list the known editions, and rare and valuable copies are marked with their storage locations to assist readers in locating them nearby. Two points need clarification: first, Qing poetic criticism works are numerous and diverse in content, and this book is selective in its inclusion, generally excluding routine annotations; second, Republican Shi Hua are listed in a separate appendix, as many authors transitioned from the Qing to the Republic era, and their material accumulation and writing were often done during the late Qing period, making it difficult to strictly distinguish them from Qing Shi Hua. "A Catalog of Lost Qing Shi Hua" includes 504 lost and untransmitted works, tracing their authors and content. Only fragments remain. The lower part, "A Record of Qing Shi Hua Seen," is a descriptive account of 464 Qing Shi Hua observed by the author, following the style of the "Catalog of Imperial Library Holdings." It records the number of volumes, editions, examines the authors' lives and the writing dates of the Shi Hua, evaluates the main content and viewpoints of the books, quotes previous reviews, and, based on the author's observations, highlights any inaccuracies or inconsistencies.
