"Are the words signed by Li Qingzhao all from her hand?" The list of authors combs through the initial provenance of Li Qingzhao's concentrated words, and makes a simple analysis of their authenticity, so that Li Qingzhao's life based on these works also becomes meaningful.
"Why does Li Qingzhao's husband always not come home?" What is to be explored here is the word as a kind of "spokesperson" (lyrical on behalf of others) literature, will the identity of female songwriters bring false presuppositions and preconceptions?
"Is Li Qingzhao remarried?" How this question is entangled with the acceptance of Li Qingzhao's works by the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even caused contemporary controversy.
This book combines the "other" perspective and theoretical tools of sinologists, and has a relatively solid literature foundation, which can be called a major work of overseas sinology that must be read.
