Features: This book selects 400 classical Chinese poetry, ci, and qu works from the pre-Qin period to the late Qing Dynasty, divided into five volumes. This volume contains 80 selections, specifically compiled for primary school students to read. The arrangement of the main text is organized by genre, including quatrain, regulated verse, classical verse, ci, and qu, with each genre further arranged in chronological order by the birth year of the authors. Works from the Book of Songs and the Chu Ci are listed separately and placed at the end. The annotations primarily focus on the interpretation of words and phrases, including terms, allusions, proper names, and geographical names. The explanations are divided into two categories: one provides a brief summary of the main idea of the work, while the other offers an analysis of its deeper meaning. The book also includes illustrations for 44 poems.
