Features: This book collects the works of 253 Song Dynasty poets, totaling 1,040 titles and 1,253 poems. The arrangement of authors in the main text is generally based on their birth years, with some exceptions according to death years. For those with unknown birth and death years, the order is based on the period of their lives. The works of the same poet are mostly arranged chronologically if a large number of works are included. The commentaries in this book are generally one per title, though some titles may have multiple commentaries or several titles combined into one, depending on the writing needs. The book uses simplified characters, with traditional characters or variant characters used when ambiguity arises. Annotations for poetic allusions and difficult or ambiguous phrases are usually placed within the main text, with additional notes at the end of each section. All ancient dates mentioned in this book are given in the old calendar system, with corresponding Common Era dates in parentheses (the word "year" is omitted). The book includes over 30 calligraphy and paintings related to the poems, primarily from Song Dynasty works. It also provides: brief biographies of the poets, chronological tables of the poets, bibliographies of Song Dynasty poetry, an index of famous quotes, an index of titles by stroke order, and maps of the administrative divisions of Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, for reference.
