Features: This reference book, combining the functions of an anthology, commentary, and dictionary, has become an essential tool for students and literature enthusiasts due to its compilation of the essence of Chinese literature, as well as its clear and in-depth explanations and rich references. To meet the needs of readers with different cultural backgrounds, this series is a revised version of the original dictionary, selecting outstanding works, retaining some appendices, and reorganizing the content. This book includes 290 poems by 175 poets from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, arranged chronologically by the birth years of the authors, with one poem and one commentary per piece. The book uses simplified characters, with traditional or variant characters used when necessary to avoid ambiguity. Difficult or ambiguous phrases in the poems are generally explained within the commentary, with occasional notes added at the end for specific cases. Historical dates related to ancient history are generally presented in the old calendar system, with corresponding Gregorian dates included. The Gregorian dates in parentheses usually omit the word "year."
