Features: The name of Professor Kazumura Kazuo is not unfamiliar to the academic circles in China. After World War II, Japanese scholars ranked The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons as the foremost study on ancient Chinese literary theory in China, with research covering aspects such as editions, annotations, translations, and indexes. Professor Kazumura's initial research achievement was The Index of The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons, which, along with Wang Lipin's The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons: A Study, were both published in the 1950s and became important reference works for studying The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons. My connection with Professor Kazumura also stems from his research on The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons. The main contents of this book include Annotations on The Rectification of the Poems of Mao Po, a study on Li Bai, Li Bai and Meng Haoran, an examination of Li Bai's Song of Mount Emei, Li Bai's political ambitions and fundamental nature, an investigation into Li Bai's wives and concubines, and Bai Juyi.
