Features: This collection of essays does not include all the writings I have ever written. Some scattered articles and single publications have been excluded for various reasons. The collection consists of six volumes. Volume I is Essentials of Chinese Grammar, and Volume II is Collected Papers on Chinese Grammar, both of which have been published as standalone books. Volume III is Continued Papers on Chinese Grammar, which includes the previously published standalone works Modern Chinese Demonstratives and grammar papers written after 1980. Volume IV is Miscellaneous Essays on Language and Literature, based on the 1983-published Lü Shuxiang's Collected Essays on Language and Literature, supplemented with non-specialized articles from after 1983, along with some revisions and reorganization. Volume V contains four standalone language and literature publications: Common Talk on Language and Literature, Random Notes on Language and Literature, Comments on Annotating Ancient Books, and Chinese People Learning English. Volume VI is the Translated Works Collection, which is the 1983-published Lü Shuxiang's Translated Works Collection. At the end, like most authors, I sincerely hope readers can find some value rather than complete uselessness in my books. This is my earnest wish. Comrade Zhang Wansi of Commercial Press has done extensive proofreading for the entire work, and Professor Jiang Weisong of Shandong University has inscribed the book title for this collection. My heartfelt gratitude goes to them all. Lü Shuxiang January 1, 1989
