Typing some Chinese classical poems, I found most of the early examples are created for layouting English poems. Below I give a layout example of Tang poems anthology. Rather than a general solution, it’s just a particular example. Pls put below packages into the preamble of your document.

\section{薛正明}
\begin{poemz}{薛正明}{遊鴈蕩}
	東風驛路馬蹄香，曉起行春到夕陽。\\
	三月鶯啼花柳寺，幾家人住水雲鄉。\\
	名山不用問樵字，清世何須憂廟廊。\\
	且脫綸巾隨洞客，紫簫吹月夜天涼。
\end{poemz}
此詩本事又可參見\lref{王績《野望》}。另，\textsf{曹丕}\emph{典論\bn 論文}：

\newenvironment{poem}[3] %code={\doublespacing},

      \index[ian]{#1!#2}\index[ibn]{#2［#1］}\begin{pinyinscope} \begin{center}\subsectionmark{#2}\phantomsection
      \addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{#2}\label{#1《#2》}\hypertarget{#1《#2》}
      \LARGE\linespread{1.4}\selectfont #3  %\HGBUM\ZSKS
	}
{\end{center}\end{pinyinscope}\end{tcolorbox}}

Step 2: Define New Cross Referencing Command

%邊註交互引用
\NewDocumentCommand\pref{m}
{\marginpar{\ding{43}\HGB\ubufontc\hyperlink{#1}#1(\pageref{#1})}}
%正文交互引用
\NewDocumentCommand\lref{m}
{{\HGB\ubufontc\hyperlink{#1}#1(\pageref{#1})}}

This will output:

Step 3: Creat Author or Title Index, etc

As shown in my another article Zhmakeindex and the Indices Creating of Chinese Books, the codes and the outputs will be:
