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) in 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 proofread by Guo Moruo, You Guoen, and Qian Zhongshu. After their release, they had a significant 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 press is pleased to present this series in simplified Chinese characters for the first time, to delight readers both at home and abroad.
