Features: In order to study the life of Gong Zizhen, his political thought, social connections, and writings, "Miscellaneous Poems of the Year Jihe" is an extremely valuable material. Even when exploring the various factors of the prelude to modern Chinese history, it cannot be ignored. However, it is written in the form of art poetry, and more than a hundred years have passed since Gong's time when we read it today, making it inevitable to encounter difficulties in understanding. Moreover, there is still no complete annotated edition of Gong's poems, and many lovers of Gong's poetry and humanities and social science workers feel. Without hesitation, the author attempts to do some annotation work. The reason why a complete annotation is necessary is just as Lu Xun said: "If there is selection and exclusion, it is no longer the whole person, and if there is further praise or criticism, it becomes even harder to be true."
