Publishing Date: 2007-01-01
Features: As the name suggests, the focus of this series lies in "excellence," unlike Selected Translations of Yang Wuneng which emphasizes comprehensiveness, systematicity, and academic rigor. Moreover, the pursuit of excellence should not be limited to selection—meaning only selecting the most renowned works from the greatest classics, or the translations that the translator himself enjoys and is recognized by the general readership. Design, layout, and illustrations must also strive for aesthetic beauty. Another difference from Selected Translations of Yang Wuneng is that this series will be released in installments, with plans to complete it within two to three years. This is not due to limitations in the publishing house's editorial resources or topic planning, but rather to alleviate the financial burden on readers and allow them to purchase at their own pace. This series includes appropriate introductions, prefaces, appendices, and images to enhance readers' interest in reading and help them better achieve the goal of "intellectual travel." The translators and editors of this series strive to make the books as exquisite as possible and are prepared for continuous improvement, hence they warmly welcome constructive criticism and suggestions from readers and fellow experts.
