Features: Xikun Chouchang Ji is the main representative work of the Xikun school, and its distinctive features in poetics and aesthetics are fully reflected in this book. Mr. Wang Zhongluo began annotating the book early in his career, dedicating decades of effort to it. He thoroughly reviewed twenty-five key historical and literary texts, providing detailed explanations of all allusions and even the origins of specific terms in the book. This annotated edition has become an indispensable work for enthusiasts and scholars of Xikun-style poetry. The book was previously published by Zhonghua Book Company in the 1980s but has long been out of print. It is now reissued by Shanghai Shudian Publishing House in an identical format, accompanied by an index of quoted lines and a brief biography of the annotator, for easy reference by readers.
