Shui Jing Zhu (new Vision Chinese Classics Library)
About This Novel
"Shui Jing Zhu" is named after its annotations to "Shui Jing". "Shui Jing" has about 10,000 words. "Tang Liu Dian·Zhu" says that it "draws water from all over the world, one hundred and thirty-seven". The "Shui Jing Zhu" appears to be an annotation to the "Shui Jing", but in fact it uses the "Shui Jing" as an outline and records in detail more than a thousand large and small rivers and related historical relics, personal anecdotes, myths and legends, etc. It is the most comprehensive and systematic comprehensive geographical work in ancient China. The book also records many inscriptions on stelae and fishermen's songs and ballads. The writing is gorgeous and the language is clear, which has high literary value. Since many of the large number of documents cited in the book were lost in later generations, a lot of information has been preserved.
