Features: A Record of Song Poetry is a collection of Song Dynasty poems compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Li E. Among the achievements of ancient scholars in organizing Song poetry, this collection is the largest in scale and the highest in quality. However, constrained by the level of Song poetry research at the time, the book still contains many shortcomings. Mr. Qian Zhongshu began annotating A Record of Song Poetry in the 1940s. Over decades of accumulation, this formed the valuable material for A Supplement and Correction to A Record of Song Poetry. The formal writing of A Supplement and Correction to A Record of Song Poetry began in 1982. Over the following decade, Mr. Qian devoted significant effort to extensively and deeply supplementing and correcting the content of A Record of Song Poetry. A Supplement and Correction to A Record of Song Poetry incorporates the achievements of A Selection of Song Poetry, once again demonstrating Mr. Qian's profound scholarship. Its extensive citations and well-reasoned arguments are sufficient to advance the study of Song poetry to a new level in academia.
