Features: Mei Yaojun is the pioneer of Song Dynasty poetry, leading the poetic creation beyond the tradition of Tang Dynasty poetry. Ouyang Xiu described his poetic style as "at first, he delighted in clarity, elegance, leisure, and simplicity; over time, it deepened into profoundness, occasionally polishing to reveal perfect artistry," which is highly appropriate and complete. Professor Zhu Dongrun's book is based on the manuscript of Xia Jingguan's Collected Poems of Mei Wanling and provides a chronological compilation and annotation of Mei Yaojun's poems, along with four introductory essays. It also includes sixteen biographical records, offering a comprehensive overview of Mei Yaojun's life and the editorial style of this book. Originally part of the publisher's "Chinese Classical Literature Series," this reprinted edition is available in both plain and hardcover formats. Apart from minor textual revisions, the content arrangement and layout remain unchanged.
