Features: This book selects 400 classical Chinese poetry works from the pre-Qin period to the late Qing Dynasty, divided into five volumes. This volume includes 60 selected poems specifically compiled for primary school students to recite. The arrangement of the main text in each volume follows the order of different poetic forms, including quatrains, regulated verse, classical verse, ci poetry, and qu poetry, with each form further arranged by the chronological order of the poets' birth years. Works from the Book of Songs and the Chuci are listed separately and placed at the end. The annotations primarily focus on the interpretation of words and phrases, including terms, allusions, proper names, and geographical names. The explanations are divided into two categories: one provides a brief summary of the poem's meaning, and the other offers an analysis of its deeper significance. Each poem in this book is accompanied by one illustration, totaling 59 illustrations.
