The "Complete Tang Poems," compiled and revised by Peng Dingqiu and others in the Qing Dynasty, encompasses over 72,000 entries, with a significant portion consisting of synonymous or near-synonymous texts, representing about two-thirds of Tang poetry. It examines the semantic evolution of these texts and organizes them based on linked meanings. By uncovering the connections among originally disparate materials, it reveals the emergence of a new "Erya" dictionary that evolved during the Tang and Song Dynasties. This book is valuable for literature and language researchers seeking reference material.

This book examines Wang Zhi's "Poetry General News" from the Song Dynasty, He Kai's "Poetry Classic World Ancient Meaning" from the Ming Dynasty, and Fang Yurun's "Poetry Classic Origin" from the Qing Dynasty as research cases. These three monographs on "The Book of Songs" represent distinct social trends in their respective dynasties, offering varied perspectives on the development of "The Book of Songs" over time. Despite their significant impact, these works have not received adequate attention in the past or present. By collectively discussing and re-evaluating them, a clearer understanding of the evolution of comprehensive "The Book of Songs" research since the Han Dynasty can be attained.

Chinese, as an analytic language, relies on word order rather than extensive morphological changes to convey meaning and sentence relationships. Unlike inflected languages, it lacks abstract grammatical concepts. Understanding and aligning with these characteristics allows for immediate improvement in Chinese writing. This book presents several papers that demonstrate how to write effectively in Chinese, providing examples that highlight its unique features. It is a valuable resource for language teaching researchers, instructors, and college students.
