Features: The study of Chuci has long been a prominent field, and it has been particularly "hot" in recent years. As Mr. Tang Bingzheng said, "Since 1977, over a hundred monographs on Chuci have been published, and more than two thousand papers have been written in various domestic and international journals. The history of Chuci studies is very long; scholars in the Han Dynasty had already annotated it, but it was Wang Guowei who revealed previously unknown historical facts by delving into the subtleties of the Chuci texts. His research in this area also contributed to his proposal of the far-reaching 'dual-evidence method.' The circumstances surrounding this point are worth reviewing here."
