(Foreword) This is a major feature of Hu Yunyi's anthology. Its annotations are simple and popular, strive to be complete, and focus on the interpretation of words and sentences. Each writer and work is briefly introduced and explained, and the citations are abundant. This is a very unique anthology of Song poetry.

Song Ci occupies a very important position in the history of Chinese literature. The "Song Poems" selected and annotated by Mr. Hu Yunyi can be regarded as a classic among the Song Dynasty anthologies. The anthology breaks the tradition of word selection that emphasizes the rhythm of words such as "Three Hundred Song Ci Poems" and pays more attention to the ideological connotation of the lyrics. Therefore, Jiaxuan's words are selected the most in the anthology, followed by Dongpo and others. For poets such as Ouyang Xiu, Yan Shu, Liu Yong, and Yan Jidao, they also pay more attention to the bright and lively lyrics. At the same time, the detailed annotations and incisive and clear comments can not only help readers better appreciate the charming style of Song Ci, so that readers can get more life experience and beauty cultivation, but also help to form correct value judgments on the Ci poetry of the past, so it is very suitable for ordinary readers.
