Fifty-six Kinds of Selected Poems in the Early Qing Dynasty
by Xie Zhengguang Chen Qianping Jiang Liangqin
About This Novel
Due to the large time span, anthologies of poems from the early Qing Dynasty usually have many volumes, many of which are rare. It is not easy for readers to understand the characters in them and search for the works. To this end, Xie Zhengguang, Chen Qianping, and Jiang Liangqin collaborated to compile a comprehensive index of poets' poems in 56 anthologies, which provides convenience for the use of these anthologies. Although this is just a tool book that provides search functions, it can tell us a lot. First of all, we know from the index that 56 poetry anthologies include more than 10,000 poets from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. This alone is enough to make us think a lot about the popularity and prosperity of poetry in the Qing Dynasty. Secondly, the birthplaces and majors of these more than 10,000 poets, their distribution in the anthology, and the inclusion of their works allow us to try some quantitative analysis and obtain some overall impressions of early Qing poetry. In short, as long as you use this index well, its value will far exceed its search function.
