It takes the time as the classic and the writer as the latitude, and arranges it in order from ancient times to the present. It selects a total of 222 ideological works from pre-Qin to Ming Dynasty. Articles with relatively high quality and artistry are mainly prose, and also include parallel prose, including Confucian classics and historical prose, as well as biographies, letters, debates, and even travel notes and fables. The selected essays reflect the extreme achievements of ancient Chinese prose. It has high achievements, and has been popular for its collection of famous essays, moderate length, and appealing to both refined and popular tastes.
