In 1808, the 13th year of Jiaqing, the imperial edict was issued to open the "quantang Wenguan". Because he had resigned and returned to the field, he had no chance to take part in this matter and exclaimed: "the literature of the Tang Dynasty is so prosperous! Before the Tang Dynasty, it was my duty to have a general collection and to be considerate and considerate. " Therefore, he compiled the whole ancient three dynasties, Qin and Han Dynasties, Three Kingdoms and Six Dynasties, and connected it with the whole Tang Dynasty. More than 3000 books have been collected, each of them annotated with biographies, which is enough to verify history and literature. He checked all the books and revised every word. The documents before Tang Dynasty are all gathered here, which has an important contribution to the preservation and dissemination of ancient documents before Tang Dynasty. There are 10 kinds of classics, commentaries and lost books, which are collected into more than 1206 volumes. In order to write books, he did not hesitate to invest heavily in purchasing books. He traveled all over the world from south to Lingnan and north to Saiyuan. When he met rare books, he would write them or buy them. He built a library called "Si Lu Tang" and collected more than 20000 volumes of books.

Historical records

Draft of Qing History

Yan Kejun was born in Wu Cheng. Jiaqing five years, Juren, official Jiande county teaching instructions, lead disease back. Both of them are well-known and well-informed, and they study the textual research. Together with Yao Wentian, they study Shuowen, which is also called Lei Kao. There are astronomy, arithmetic, geography, vegetation, birds, animals, insects, fish, sound, Shuowen cited Qunshu, Qunshu cited Shuowen, Volume 45. He also compiled the rubbings of Zhongding as fifteen chapters of Shuowen Yi, and revised Shuowen as Shuoyi. Sun Xingyan promoted its success, but he gave a rough outline. The first printed edition of Mao's Jigu Pavilion is another 30 chapters of "collation", which corrects Xu Xuan's loss.

He also worked with Ding Rong on the book of Tang Shi Jing, and wrote ten volumes of the book of proofreading. The preface says, "I am weak in governing the book of Tang Shi Jing. In addition, he also read the stone classics of Han, Wei, Tang, Meng, Shu, song, Jiayou and Shaoxing. Today, there are only four stones in Jiayou and 87 stones in Shaoxing. The two hundred and twenty-eight stones on the stone wall of Dahe in the Tang Dynasty are unique, and they are the most complete and the oldest scriptures in this world. In Tang Dynasty, Fu was rich in Liang and Sui dynasties, while Zheng Qin and Tang Yuandu were all Confucianists. In other words, it is not difficult for him to be even, but only to be true. Today, all the ancient books are dead. It's hard to restore the old view, but it's not! However, in the later Tang Dynasty, the engraving was actually written in accordance with the sentence of the book of stone. It was wrong to turn the engraving in song, yuan and Ming Dynasties. However, the stone version survived. Even though it was not enough to restore the ancients, it was more than enough to make up for the present. It's only strange that for hundreds of years, there have been a few scholars who are good at ancient times, who are similar to tombstones and temple steles.

At the beginning of Kangxi period, Gu Yanwu began to revise his works and read his works "the nine classics wrongly written" and "the records of the inscriptions on gold and stone". He took a few wrong words and wrongly believed Wang Yaohui's supplementary words to slander the book of stone. What about Gu? Black! Shi Jing is the end of the ancient edition and the ancestor of the present edition. It's not as good as seeing the ancient version of the book of songs, but the book of songs was abandoned. The bandits directly abandoned it and falsely accused it? Yu Buzi Kui wanted to correct his mistakes for the current edition, explain his mistakes for the book of stone of the Tang Dynasty, and dispel his doubts for Gu and others. After reading and proofreading, we can find all the changes, additions and differences between the Shijing and today's edition. It is often supported by annotations, explanations, historical records, biographies and quotations from the Han and Tang Dynasties. Shitai Xiaojing is attached to it. " In the 13th year of Jiaqing, the imperial edict was issued to open the whole Tang Dynasty literary school. However, they were unable to do anything about it. They said with emotion: "the literary works of the Tang Dynasty are flourishing! Before Tang Dynasty, there should be a collection. It's my duty to be considerate and considerate. " It is a collection of ancient three dynasties, Qin and Han Dynasties, Three Kingdoms and Six Dynasties, which is connected with the whole Tang Dynasty. There are more than 3000 families, and each department has its own biography, which is enough to verify the history and literature. All of them are obtained from the collection of canjuan. After reviewing the group of books, there are some similarities and differences, and all of them are revised. Once written, it has no false effect. Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it's salty here. In addition, he collated and compiled dozens of sutras, Yizhu and Yizi books, and combined them into more than 200 volumes of Si Lu Tang Lei Ji.
