This book is divided into three parts: supplementing poets, supplementing poetry, and supplementing poetry criticism. Supplement the poets' part, that is, those who have been left out and not included in "The Complete Poems of the Song Dynasty". The supplementary poetry section refers to the above-mentioned four books. One of the four books has included the poet (or some have not been included), and there is a biography of the poet. However, if there are missing contents in the biography, especially those involving the poet's creation, the "poetry" will be supplemented. The supplementary poetry review section refers to those in which a certain book (or several books) in the above four books has been collected (or not collected), and has a relatively complete biography or story, but lacks comments on its poetic style and characteristics, which is more valuable in theory. It is particularly important for comprehensively and accurately understanding and grasping the style of the poet's creation, the evolution of his poetry, the comparison of different poets' styles, the situation of their schools, etc. It is combined with the wonderful discussion of Qian Zhongshu's "Supplement and Correction" and marked together as "Complementary Poetry Commentary". Since the publication of "Complete Poems of the Song Dynasty", there have been some individual researchers who have published relevant papers to supplement it, but this book systematically completes the comprehensive review of poets, poetry, and poetry criticism. "Poetry reviews" are not included in "Complete Poems of the Song Dynasty". This book has compiled a total of 129 Buque poets, 132 Buque poems, and 192 Buque poetry reviews. Its systematicness and scale are unmatched by other compilers. A lot of new material has been added to the supplement, and if necessary, "notes" should be added after the supplement to explain it. This is the feature and value of this book.
