Features: This book includes two parts: "A Study on Song Yu's Ci and Fu" and "Translation and Annotation of Song Yu's Ci and Fu." The study part examines the life and works of Song Yu, as well as the authenticity of his writings, and discusses the ideology and art of his ci and fu. Regarding Song Yu's life, this book argues that he was from "Yingdu" (now Jingling, Hubei). Supported by Jiabin, it deduces his birth and death years (approximately born in 320 BC, died in 255 BC). As for the issue of Song Yu's mentors, he frequently mentions his teachers in his works, suggesting he may have been a skilled orator and strategist or a master of (zongheng), a school of diplomacy.
