Features: Over the course of more than a thousand years of development, through the continuous practice of enthusiasts from all social strata, especially through the exemplary work of a large number of talented writers, poetry and prose have effectively resolved artistic contradictions such as inheritance and innovation, as well as rigidity and flexibility, becoming convenient tools for expressing thoughts and emotions. Zhonghua Book Company has previously published many collections of ancient literary works, both comprehensive and selective. Our long-standing aspiration has been to provide society with a systematic and comprehensive poetry and prose anthology that combines academic excellence with readability, appealing to both the refined and the popular. The author's approach is as follows:
1. The primary criterion for selecting works is their popularity among readers, while also considering their ideological and artistic value.
2. The selected texts are primarily based on authoritative versions, especially authoritative edited editions, without annotations for textual corrections. Generally, variant readings are not explained, but significant ones are clarified in the notes.
3. Each book includes an "Introduction" before the main text, offering a comprehensive and precise evaluation of the selected authors, works, and related content.
4. Works and their notes are arranged chronologically. Works that cannot be dated are grouped together at the end of the chronological sections.
5. Below each poem or prose piece, there are "Author's Notes" and "Annotations." The author's notes provide an introduction to the writing background, main themes, techniques, artistic features, and relevant names, places, and reigns as appropriate.
