Yu Xin was a shining star in the literary world of the Southern and Northern Dynasties since Qi and Liang Dynasties.
He was born in an aristocratic family with "seven generations of scholars" and "five generations of collected works". He grew up in the south and died in the north. He experienced four dynasties and ten emperors.
His rich experience and feelings are the source of his literary creation and the reason for the formation and evolution of his literary style.
Most of the works selected in this book are Yu Xin's works in his later years, with Fu as the main focus and poetry as a supplement, which highlights the characteristics of Yu Xin's existing works that use Fu as the mainstay.
The selected texts are represented by "Ode to the South of the Yangtze River", and the poems are represented by "An Odyssey to the Huai". The rest try to consider the diversity of themes and genres to express Yu Xin's literary concepts.
In terms of annotation methods, this book extensively absorbs previous and current achievements, either to explain the source of the technique, or to explain the meaning of the sentence, so that the meaning of the text can be clearly revealed to the reader.
Reader comments
I particularly like his "Ode to the South of the Yangtze River", which is really touching and makes me seem to have seen that war-torn era. And his poems are also very flavorful, and you can feel his mood. The annotations in this book are also very detailed, making it easier for me to understand his work. All in all, this is a book worth reading!
