The book puts the inculcation of humanistic spirit and the edification of moral feelings in a particularly prominent position. China's poetry has a tradition of expressing ambition. Great writers, thinkers, politicians and military strategists in China have written many incisive poems, especially in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Combined with poetry teaching, it can cultivate students' feelings of patriotism and love for their hometown, make them care about the sufferings of people's livelihood, have the thought of caring for people's livelihood, and have the character of integrity. At the same time, we can learn the unrestrained and broad-minded attitude towards life in poetry and improve students' aesthetic taste and artistic taste. Not by empty preaching, but by the infection of excellent poems, let students stress moral integrity, honesty, inaction, people-oriented thinking and civilian consciousness, thus promoting the sublimation of their ideological realm, shaping a sound personality and cultivating noble moral sentiments.

In the past twenty years, great achievements have been made in poetry appreciation, and there are countless appreciation dictionaries. Under the guidance of my tutor Professor Tang Guizhang, I personally presided over the compilation of three appreciation dictionaries, namely Tang and Song Ci, Jin Ci, Yuan Ci, Ming and Qing Ci and Patriotic Ci, with a cumulative print run of over one million copies.

Appreciation is generally divided into three levels: first, literal understanding: accurately reading obscure words, understanding the meaning of each sentence, the original meaning and extended meaning of its allusions; The second is to thoroughly understand the ideological connotation of this work (often combined with its writing background): appreciate its artistic beauty and artistic conception beauty; The third is to jump out of the work itself: let it be compared with other works of the writer or related works of the same era and different eras, and look at it from the commanding heights of the times or history, so as to gain something.
