Features: The scope of this book covers from the pre-Qin period to the eve of the Xinhai Revolution, including poems, ci, qu, and other forms, totaling over 500 selected works by more than 200 poets. The book is organized by poets, consisting of three parts: a brief biography of the poet, their works, and appreciative essays. Annotations are generally not provided separately; instead, difficult passages are explained in the appreciative essays. The arrangement of authors in the main text follows the order of their birth years; for those with unknown birth years, the order is based on their lifespan; within the same author's works, poems, ci, and qu are arranged in order.
