Features: Tianya Xin Yong (New Collection of Poems from the Jade Terrace) is another major collection of ancient Chinese poetry following the Book of Songs, comprising ten volumes. The works primarily focus on courtly poetry depicting romantic and domestic themes, with a timeline spanning from the pre-Qin period to the Southern Dynasties of the Liang Dynasty. Its significance lies in preserving a vast amount of poetry from the Han, Wei, and Six Dynasties periods, especially renowned pieces like Poem for Jiao Zhongqing. Additionally, its early compilation serves as a valuable reference for correcting errors and omissions in other ancient texts. Furthermore, the preface contains a newly organized table of contents to enhance accessibility and convenience for modern readers.
