Reader comments
A major feature of the compilation of ancient Chinese poetry is the selection of items. This book focuses on the articles of the eight great masters of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, the Tang and Song Dynasties, Gui Youguang of the Ming Dynasty, and the Tongcheng School of the Qing Dynasty. It highlights the literary models admired by Yao Nai and embodies the "Tongcheng righteousness and law" that requires words to be meaningful and orderly. The comments Yao Nai added to each article are also unique. Whether it is pointing out the clues of the evolution of the article, revealing the origins and relationships between different writers, or conducting artistic analysis of the work, and correcting errors in sentences and words, there is no shortage of insightful insights. The compilation of ancient Chinese poetry was not published during Yao Nai's lifetime. During the Jiaqing and Daoguang years, Kang Shaoyong's printed edition based on Yao Nai's middle-aged edition and Wu Qichang's printed edition based on Yao Nai's later edition appeared one after another, but they were not complete. During the reign of Guangxu, Li Chengyuan obtained the encyclopedia of Yao Nai's later years, and collated the two editions of Kang and Wu, and compiled and published it, which was called the Li Shi Qiu Yaotang edition, which was the most refined.

I particularly like the biographies of some historical figures. The author describes their characters and experiences very vividly. Moreover, each article has collation and comments, which is very helpful for understanding ancient texts. I feel like after reading this book, my writing skills in ancient Chinese have improved!
The biggest feature of this "Compilation of Ancient Chinese Ci" is that it is compiled according to various stylistic classifications. Looks very convenient. Moreover, Yao Nai, who was a lecturer at the college in the Qing Dynasty, selected excellent articles from various eras from the Warring States Period to the Qing Dynasty. Some of the rhetoric is gorgeous, some of the language is simple, some of the writing style is vigorous, and the whole article is clear and beautiful. A teacher is the one who preaches the truth, receives karma and resolves doubts. As a teacher, you cannot be biased, so the book can be said to be a collection of words from hundreds of schools of thought, integrating a variety of thoughts. Confucianism, Taoism, management of the world, and escape from the world all exist.
