Features: Poetry has long had the tradition of "narrative records." Studying history through poetry and compiling documents on poetic narratives from various dynasties became a natural pursuit for later scholars. The renowned historian and literary expert Qian Zhonglian, Editor-in-Chief, compiled the large-scale Qing Dynasty poetic narrative documents—Qing Shi Ji Shi, which includes works of over 7,000 poets and approximately 12 million words. The book is divided into volumes such as Ming Dynasty Remnant Volumes, Shunzhi Dynasty Volume, Kangxi Dynasty Volume, Yongzheng Dynasty Volume, Qianlong Dynasty Volume, Jiaqing Dynasty Volume, Daoguang Dynasty Volume, Xianfeng Dynasty Volume, Tongzhi Dynasty Volume, Guangxu and Xuantong Dynasty Volume, as well as volumes on Heroic Women, Buddhist and Taoist Poets, Ghost Poems and Dreams Poems, and Folk Songs and Ballads. Each poet is accompanied by a brief biography, and after the narrative poems, collections of various poetic critiques are compiled to comment on the unique achievements of the poets, as well as their strengths and weaknesses in their works.
