Features: The most important and most detailed historical records of Yue Fei's life, the 28-volume Ezhou Jintuo (He Zhu) Collection and the 30-volume Continuation of the Ezhou Jintuo Collection, were compiled by Yue Fei's grandson, Yue Ke. Due to Yue Fei being wronged by Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui, decades after his death, Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui launched widespread literary purges, altering official historical records, and a large amount of textual materials related to Yue Fei were lost or destroyed under severe political persecution. It was not until the reign of Emperor Xiaozong that the injustice was rectified, and Yue Fei's son, Yue Lin, reorganized the historical records of Yue Fei. During the reigns of Emperor Ningzong and Emperor Liangzong of the Song Dynasty, Yue Lin's son, Yue Ke, carried forward his father's legacy and compiled the works into a complete collection. This annotated edition is meticulously researched and annotated, possessing significant literary and historical value.
