Features: The poetic rules discussed in this book are mostly the results of previous research, with some sections reflecting the author's own opinions. As it is a book of fundamental knowledge, it does not elaborate on which parts are based on other sources or which are the author's own words. This book focuses on poetic rules rather than being a selected anthology, so the cited poems are not annotated. The wording of the quoted poems also varies across different editions; the author has carefully selected the versions, but to save space and avoid unnecessary complexity, no textual annotations are planned for every instance. The book also covers the structure of "zhang" (a poetic form) and its grammatical features, among others. At the end, there are appendices on "Essentials of Poetic Rhyme" and "Essentials of Poetic Form."
