Features: International South Society Society · South Society Series. Gao Xu (styled Tianmei, known as Jiange, once used the names Huicun, Aichan, etc.) is one of the three founders of the "South Society." Gao Xu wrote extensively throughout his life, particularly excelling in poetry and ci (a classical Chinese poetic form). During the three stages of his ideological development, his poetry and ci varied in content and style, primarily expressing patriotic sentiments, opposing autocracy, inspiring independent thinking, and fostering a sense of racial identity among the people. His poetry and ci adhere to strict rules of meter and rhyme, with polished parallelism and a style characterized by melancholy, frustration, and a somber, desolate tone. He employs allusions effortlessly, enriching his works with profound meaning. Gao Xu's prose is concise and profound. Many incisive evaluations of him by his friends are also included in this book. Target Audience: College and university students and teachers.
