註釋
陳寅恪有「以詩證史」的說法。實在，詩詞流瀉的人情，連歷史亦容納不盡。今天，我們在一本書中細讀現代中國三十位風雲人物的詩詞，可以認清每個人的人格和事業功過，同時看清歷史的過程和真實。”
Chen Yinke offered a concept of “poems substantiate history”
. As we present in one book the poems of thirty poets who had helped to shape modern China, we anticipate readers to find the contents rich, revealing and meaningful. Our readers will see from the words of the poets a clear view of who is what, and identify wise decisions from selfish mistakes. They will then understand history in human dynamic terms.
