Features: This book collects the poems of Li Jing, the second ruler of Southern Tang, and Li Yu, the last ruler of Southern Tang. Among them, Li Jing's poems include 4 pieces, and Li Yu's poems include 36 pieces. The poems of the two rulers of Southern Tang sweep away the frivolous and ornate style of Hua Jian Ci, showcasing elegance, naturalness, profound sorrow, and depth. They mark a pivotal transition from court musician's poetry to scholar-official's poetry in the history of Chinese ci poetry. This book provides comprehensive annotations and explanations for the poems of the two rulers, and compiles relevant comments from past generations at the end of each poem, serving as a valuable resource for readers to appreciate and study the poems of Li Jing and Li Yu.
