Features: The book is arranged in chronological order of the poets' birth years. For those whose birth years are unknown, relevant references were consulted. Each poet has a short biography that briefly introduces their life and creative works. In addition to the original poems, there are also "Translations," "Notes," and "Appreciations." Translating classical poetry into modern language is highly challenging and cannot be perfect, but the goal is to help readers better understand the original poems. The "Notes" are concise and accurate, primarily explaining allusions, historical facts, and difficult terms. The "Appreciations" reflect the editors' basic understanding of the original works, introducing the background of composition, revealing thematic ideas, or analyzing artistic features. They do not aim to be comprehensive but offer insights based on personal understanding.
