Selected works

Selected Works, also known as Zhaoming Selected Works, is the earliest extant collection of Chinese poems in China, edited by Xiao Tong, the eldest son of Liang Wudi in the Southern Dynasties. After Xiao Tong's death, he became "Zhao Ming", so this anthology edited by him is called "Selected Works of Zhao Ming", with 60 volumes of * *, which is divided into Fu, Poetry, Sao, Strange, Imperial edict, Book, Order, Teaching, Writing, Table, Writing, Strange, Playing Things, Notes, Memories, Books and Words. The selected writers in Selected Works began from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the early Liang Dynasty (when the fashion was popular, it was not included under the principle of "not recording or not saving"), while the works were based on the principle of "meditation, profound meaning", excluding classics, history and volumes.
