Features: Lu Zhi was a renowned statesman of the Tang Dynasty in China. This collection includes twenty-two volumes of his composed poems, memorials, and draft memorials during his tenure as a Hanlin Academician and Chancellor, with an additional volume of supplements and three volumes of appendices. During his service, the political situation was turbulent, and most of his composed works were aimed at rectifying and advising. However, his memorials and critiques addressed the issues of the time, clarified right and wrong, and balanced emotion and reason, combining the strengths of both parallel prose and prose. As a result, his works were highly regarded by later generations. The articles collected in this anthology are also important materials for understanding the politics, economy, and institutions of the mid-Tang Dynasty. The Lu Zhi Collection has been passed down through the ages, and this edition is primarily based on the annotated and critically evaluated edition compiled by Dong Shi'en at the beginning of the 20th century, with added punctuation and textual corrections.
