Features: Lu You writes small lyrics with a grand style, which is quite distinctive. His lyrical pieces are light, fluent, and perfectly match the tone and emotion, without any sense of difficulty or hardship. The famous works that express his great ambition to reclaim the Central Plains are even lighter in handling, expressed with ease and satisfaction, without any aggressive or strained attitude, purely moving readers with their natural depth. Hu Ming of the Ming Dynasty praised them as follows: "In elegance, they resemble Huaihai; in boldness, they resemble Dongpo." The text of this book is based on the "Renhé Wu Family's Shuangzhaolou Edition of Song and Yuan Lyrics," with newly compiled supplements. All the works are annotated with punctuation, and some chapters include comments from previous scholars, aiming to help readers better appreciate the style of Lu You's lyrics.
Volume 1 of Lu You's Lyrics
The Red Cliff Lyric
The Gatebell at Dawn
Remembering You
Morning Path
The Phoenix and Swan Take Flight
West Mansion, West Pavilion
Walking Alone
Facing the Golden Lotus Palace
Candlelight, Embroidered Flowers
The Precious Belt
Watching Them Soar
Speed of Life is Unpredictable
A Cup of Wine Here
Together with You
Looking Back at Ziyang and Qingmen
West Lake Courtyard Locked
Thousand Branches of Bamboo
White Walls, Perched Crows
Should Be Well-Preserved
The Unfinished Dream is Too Painful to Relive
Time Shocks the Heart
Looking in the Mirror, Short Hair, Little Green
Value No Joy Without You
Drinking Together with You
Foyu.
