Features: The Yuanqu is positioned as a new poetic form that is liberating and self-entertaining, but this does not mean that it abandons artistic quality after breaking free from the constraints of the "high art" tradition, nor does it imply that it has only a single expressive function. As a part of the illustrated text series "Three Hundred Poems," the accompanying illustrations also reflect the format of this book, showing that Yuanqu works, like Tang and Song poetry, can inspire, resonate, evoke beauty, and spark imagination. The Moutai House with a few small buildings and rows of rapeseed flowers in the village of Daixiangcun are equally worthy of a tour guide's introduction by Jia Zheng. Our work is simply to present the essence of Yuanqu to readers as much as possible and to elucidate its unique charm in the annotations.
