Features: Lü Bicheng was an outstanding female lyric poet of modern times. Her works were highly praised by renowned scholars such as Fan Zengxiang, Wu Mi, Qian Zhonglian, and Long Yusheng. She was known for her unrestrained and adventurous spirit, traveling extensively across countries like the UK, the US, France, Germany, and Italy. Her compositions introduced "new themes into traditional formats," creating a unique style in the Chinese lyric poetry scene. This book is based on the comprehensive Xiaozhu Ci (Pearl-like Lyrics), supplemented by collation from multiple editions such as Ying Jianzhi's The Three Sisters of the Lü Family Collection, among others. Detailed annotations are provided. The annotator reviewed hundreds of modern poetry and prose collections, as well as various newspapers and magazines, over a decade of effort. At the end of the book, appendices include extensive materials and the annotator's Chronology of Lü Bicheng, filling an important gap in the study of late Qing and Republican-era lyric poetry.
