Publishing Date: 2005-05-01
Features: The "Jiu Ge Jin Yi" (Contemporary Interpretation of the Nine Songs), "Jiu Zhang Jin Yi" (Contemporary Interpretation of the Nine Declarations), and "Li Sao Jin Yi" (Contemporary Interpretation of Li Sao) from this series were published in the early 1950s, while "Zhao Hun Jin Yi" (Contemporary Interpretation of the Elegy to the Departed Spirit) was also published in the 1962 issue of "Wen Shi" (Literary History). These books were originally in traditional Chinese characters and were edited by Guo Moruo, You Guo'en, and Qian Zhongshu. After their release, they had a broad social impact and were highly praised by authoritative figures from various fields. Although Mao Zedong, Liu Yazi, Guo Moruo, Hu Yaobang, and Qian Zhongshu have passed away one after another, their admiration for Wen Huasha's interpretations of the Chu Ci remains a celebrated story to this day. Now, with the authorization of Mr. Wen Huasha, our publishing house is launching this series in simplified Chinese characters for the first time to serve readers both at home and abroad.
