Features: This book selects 324 poems by 187 poets from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, arranged chronologically by the birth year of the authors across three dynasties. Generally, one poem is accompanied by one appreciation article, although a few works are discussed together. The book uses simplified characters, with traditional characters or variant forms used when ambiguity arises. Difficult words or phrases in the poems are usually explained within the appreciation articles, with occasional annotations added at the end for specific cases. Historical dates related to ancient history are typically presented in the old calendar system, with corresponding Gregorian dates included in parentheses. The Gregorian dates in parentheses generally omit the word "year."
