"Linchuan Collection" is the "Collected Works of Mr. Linchuan". It is a collection of poems and essays written by Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty. The collection was included in "Sikuquanshu". Basic introduction Title of work: Linchuan Collection Works Alias: Mr. Linchuan Collection Year of creation: Song Dynasty Author: Wang Anshi Category: Collection of poetry and prose Collection description, circulation situation, author introduction, collection description "Linchuan Collection" one hundred volumes (Neifu Collection version), written by Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty. Wang Anshi's "New Meanings of Zhou Rites" has been recorded. The case "History of the Song Dynasty·Yiwenzhi" contains one hundred volumes of Wang Anshi's collection. The same goes for Chen Zhensun's "Shu Lu Jie Qie". Chao Gongwu's "Book of Study" consists of one hundred and thirty volumes. Jiao Hong's "Guo Shi Jing Ji Zhi" also contains 100 volumes, while the "Post Collection" contains 80 volumes. And it is inconsistent with Shi Zhishen. The current version of the book is actually one hundred volumes, and was edited and reprinted by Zhan Dahe, the governor of Tonglu in the tenth year of Shaoxing, with Huang Cishan of Yuzhang as the preface. Cishan said that the collection originally had two copies, Zhejiang and Fujian. It seems that the publication plates are different, and the scribes have different views, so the volumes are different from each other! Case Cai 1 ■ "Western Qing Poetry" contains: "An Shichang said: 'How did Li Han know that Han retreated, and he did not choose good or evil in his writings, and could he not show it to his descendants, how could he live in the world?' In this way, Disciple, the meaning is there. But there are no good copies of his poems, such as "Spring leaves are dense and flowers are few", they are all poems written by Wang Yuan. These are all poems by Wang Pingfu. "The poems contained in Chen Shan's "Muliao Xinhua" are also roughly the same. According to the two of them, the comparison between Anshi's poems and texts was not determined by himself. Therefore, it was already discussed at that time that it was wrong. And Ye Mengde's "Shilin Poetry Talk" also said: "Cai Tianqi said that Jing Gongchang wrote poems, and he said, 'Lice sit on the green mountain, and the yellow bird sleeps with a book in his hand.' He said that he did not reduce Du's poems. However, he cannot list the whole poem. Xue Zhaoming was ordered to compile it. I searched for it all over the public collection, but in the end I couldn't find it. "Zhao Ming was named by Xue Ang, who was also ordered to compile the collection. Gu Cailei and Ang were at the same time, but didn't say anything about it. In the preface to Cishan, only the Fujian and Zhejiang editions are mentioned and no other books are mentioned. Is this almost the case but has not been completed? According to Wu Zeng's "Neng Gai Zhai Man Lu", it is said that Jing Gong tried to inscribe a quatrain on Xia Minfan. This collection is not included in this collection, but can be found in "Huangchuan Collection" and "Jing Gong was appointed as the magistrate of Yin County. I met a scholar in the past and collected a volume of poems and essays written by my father-in-law. There are two articles that have not been published in contemporary collections. One of them is "Immediately" ", one of them is "Shu Hui Fare Pavilion" and so on. It is an anecdote from a posthumous poem at that time, which has not been collected and compiled. The lack of review in its compilation is not only what is ridiculed in "Xiqing Shihua". However, within these hundred volumes, the essence is there. Its waves of law are completely autobiographical and immortal. Zhu Zi's "Afterwords of Chu Ci" states that Anshi became prime minister and spread poison all over the world. However, his words and life are parallel to his thoughts, and there is no trace of them at all. This is why Master sighed that he wanted to change this. Sicheng’s judgment will last through the ages. ----Published "Summary of the General Catalog of Siku" Circulation situation Chao Gongwu's "Junzhai Shuzhi" Volume 4 records "Wang Jiefu Linchuan Collection" in one hundred and thirty volumes. You Miao's "Suichutang Bibliography" only records the title of the book "Wang Wengong Linchuan Collection" but does not specify the volume number. Chen Zhensun's "Explanations of Zhizhai Shulu" Volume 17 contains one hundred volumes of "Linchuan Collection". Zheng Qiao's "Tongzhi" has seventy volumes, Yiwen eight, records "Linchuan Collection" in one hundred volumes, and "Linchuan Collection" in eighty volumes. Ma Duanlin's "Wenwen Tongkao" has 235 volumes and 62 scriptures. It records that "Wang Jiefu Linchuan Collection" has 130 volumes, which is the same as the "Junzhai Dushu Zhi". Tuotuo et al.'s "Song History·Yiwenzhi" records "Wang Anshi's Collection" in one hundred volumes. Yang Shiqi's "Wenyuange Bibliography" only records the title and volume of the book. The author and volume number are not indicated. However, this book pays attention to editions. The second volume contains three different versions of "Linchuan Collection", including "Wang Jinggong Linchuan". "Collection of Wang Jinggong Linchuan" is in one volume of twenty volumes, "Collection of Wang Jinggong Linchuan" is in one volume, and "Collection of Wang Jinggong Linchuan" is in twenty volumes. "Sikuquanshu General Catalog" Volume 153, Part Collection Category 6, contains 100 volumes of "Linchuan Collection" collected by Neifu. Its solution: "The case "Song History·Yiwenzhi" contains one hundred volumes of "Wang Anshi Collection". The same is true for Chen Zhensun's "Shu Lu Jie". Chao Gongwu's "Dushu Zhi" contains one hundred and thirty volumes. Jiao Hong's "National History· The "Jing Ji Zhi" also contains 100 volumes, while the "Post Collection" contains 80 volumes, and it is inconsistent with the current version of Shi Zhi. The collection was originally published in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, but the editions were probably different, and the transcribers had different records, so the volumes were different. The comparison was not determined by the disciples, so it was already discussed at that time. "Zhao Ming was named Xue Ang, who was also ordered to compile the collection. Gu Caisui was at the same time as Ang, but did not mention it. In the preface to the mountain, only the Fujian and Zhejiang editions are mentioned, but there are no other books. Is it possible that they were written and not completed? Not only as discussed in "The Poetry of the Western Qing Dynasty", but within these hundreds of volumes, the essence of it is truly immortal." According to this, Wang Anshi's poetry collection should have been originally compiled by his disciples. Xue Ang was ordered to compile it, but this version cannot be called a rare book. There are many errors and omissions in it, and it has not been handed down. Before Zhan Dahe revised and reprinted the "Linchuan Collection" in the 10th year of Shaoxing, there were two different versions in Fujian and Zhejiang. By the Qing Dynasty, the prevailing version was the 100-volume version revised and reprinted by Zhan Dahe and prefaced by Huang Cishan. Yu Minzhong's "Tianlu Linlang Bibliography" Volume 10 records the twelve volumes of "Collected Works of Mr. Linchuan". Its solution: "Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty wrote one hundred volumes, with a preface by Huang Cishan of the former Song Dynasty. Kaoma Duanlin's "Wenwen Tongkao" contains one hundred and thirty volumes of "Wang Jiefu Linchuan Collection". "Xijiang Zhi" written by Zha Shenxing of the Guo Dynasty also contains "Wang Jinggong Collection" has one hundred volumes, and "Post Collection" has eighty volumes.

This book has only one hundred volumes, so it is not the original book according to Tongkao. The "Hundred Volumes of Questions" mentioned in "Xijiang Zhi" refers to this book, while the "Hout Collection" is a separate volume. "Then this book was originally engraved in the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of Nandu, and was restored in the Ming Dynasty." "According to this, the "Collected Works of Mr. Linchuan" included in "Tianlu Linlang Bibliography" was printed at the time of Emperor Xiaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, and this edition was reprinted in the Ming Dynasty. By the Qing Dynasty, there was still a separate version of the 100-volume "Collection of Linchuan" The single volume of "Houji" is eighty volumes. The number of volumes of "Houji" is consistent with that recorded in "Tongzhi". Volume 20 of Qu Yong's "Tieqin Tongjianlou Collection Catalog" is collected from the Song Dynasty edition of "Collected Works of Mr. Linchuan". "One hundred volumes. Its explanation is: "This edition published by Zeng Sunjue of Linchuan has a small preface at the beginning: "The old edition of Zeng Dafu's articles contains many errors." During the Zhenghe period, Xue Gong, the servant of the family, and during the Xuanhe period, all the great assets of my uncle were ordered by decree. Later, he was killed in the war, so this book will not be passed down. It has been published in Linchuan and Longshu in recent years, but it still follows the old version. Jue's family was unprepared and asked for the manuscript to be sent to Mr. Xue's house. It was accurate and mostly based on the writing and stone carvings of Zeng's father. During this period, many copies were used, and the selections were made in detail. As for any missing parts, the old copies were used to make up and complete the contents. On the first day of Mengqiu in the Xinwei period of Shaoxing, the official Wang Jue of Changping on the West Zhejiang Road promoted the official affairs of tea and salt. ’ There is also a general heading, which only contains a certain volume of a certain style of poetry and a certain style of writing; the details are listed before each volume. This article will be continued after the title. Each half leaf has twelve lines and two crosses. In the book, the character Huan is written as "Yuan Sheng Yu Ming", the character "Gou" is written as "Yu Ming", and the characters Shen, Dun and Kuo are not missing. Although there were later revisions, there were many errors, and it can be seen that the original book was an old Shaoxing engraving. He Zhiming's translation of Zhan Dahe's engraving has the same volumes and titles, but there are two elegy poems "Elegy of Su Cai Weng" and one poem "Li Shengzhou Composition" is missing among the collection of poems, but there is more one "Moving Peach Blossoms". The poem goes: "Peach trees are planted in the south and north of the house. When the east wind blows, they grow several feet high." The branches are wilted, the cotton flowers are rotten, and a thousand taels of beautiful brocade are applied to the pavilion. The Qinggou is filled with spring green all around, looking down at the red shadows moving on the fishing boats. Encountering Wuling guests in front of the mountain, it seems like people from Qin are fleeing by the water. Climbing the strips to make the fragrance fragrant, I am afraid of the late night. I have already seen the hair on the millet snow plate. Immortals love apricots and make tigers guard them. After a hundred years, they will belong to the woodcutter. This fruit is easy to decay, and insects will eat the roots for a long time. Who can see the cyanosis in Yaochi? It is more worth spending time chasing wine. Can you follow me drunkenly? ’ case, this poem does not look like a collection of sentences, and I suspect it was compiled by mistake at the time. "According to this, "Linchuan Collection" was compiled by Xue Ang under the imperial edict, and after Zhan Dahe revised and reengraved it, Wang Jue, Wang Anshi's great-grandson, made stone engravings based on Xue Ang's manuscripts and Wang Anshi's own handwriting during the Xinwei period of Shaoxing, and then reviewed and edited each edition. It was reprinted in 100 volumes. Compared with Zhan Dahe's edition, the volumes are the same, except for the inclusion of individual poems. Volume 27 of Ding Bing's "Collection of Rare Books" was collected in the Yuan edition. "Mr. Linchuan's Collected Works" has one hundred volumes, and its catalog contains two volumes: "History of the Song Dynasty·Yiwenzhi" and "Shulu Jieti" are both in one hundred volumes. Anshi's great-grandson You Chaosan, Wang Jue, who promoted the official affairs of Changping Salt Tea in Liangzhe West Road, wrote on the first day of Meng Qiudian in Xinwei, Shaoxing: "Zeng Zeng's old books were published with many errors. During the Zhenghe period, Xue Gong, the servant of the family, and during the Xuanhe period, all the great assets of my uncle were ordered by decree. Later, he was killed in the war, so this book will not be passed down. It has been published in Linchuan and Longshu in recent years, but it still follows the old version. The Jue family was unprepared and asked for the manuscript to be sent to Mr. Xue's house. It was accurate and based on the inscriptions and stone carvings written by Zeng Da's father. During this period, many copies were used, and the selections were made in detail. As for any missing parts, the old copies were used to make up and complete the contents. ’ Qu’s Tian Yuzhai collected hundreds of volumes of Song periodicals. Each half-leaf has twelve lines and two crosses. It has the same style as this one. It is preceded by a clear preface by Wu Chengyou, which says: "Song Dynasty Zhenghe compiled the book from the official bureau, and the articles of the ministers can only be found in the Linchuan Collection" Its column. During the Jingkang disaster, official documents were lost, and private gatherings had no basis for perfection. Jinxi Weishu is good at ancient prose. He collected and scattered the collections, searched for various editions, supplemented and revised them. Several volumes are quite well compared with the old editions in Linchuan, Jinling, Masha, and western Zhejiang. Please order it. ’ Yang Shiqi also wrote in a postscript to this book: ‘There are no engraving editions of the complete collections of Ou, Su, Zeng, and Wang in today’s bookstores. The only edition of Linchuan Collection in Beijing is in the old Chongwen Pavilion of the Imperial College, but eleven pieces are missing. In the eighth year of Yongle's reign, his retinue printed two copies in Beijing and sent one to the rest. Now that it has been supplemented, the preface written by Mr. Wu Caolu will be used as the first chapter. ’ This edition has the leaves of the supplement published in the fifth year of Jiajing’s reign in my heart. Is it the Beijing edition? There are seals of Zongbo's bachelor, Han's seals of Shineng, Yushan Family, and Qianfu. "According to this, the Yuan version collected by Ding Bing and the version collected by Qu are both published in the version system published by Wang Anshi's great-grandson Wang Jue. Weisu, a man of the Yuan Dynasty, collected the various editions, supplemented them, revised them, and compiled them into several volumes. Wu Cheng wrote the preface. In the Ming Dynasty, there was an edition of "Linchuan Collection" stored in the old Chongwen Pavilion of the Imperial College in Beijing. There were 11 missing pieces. In the 8th year of Yongle, two volumes of "Linchuan Collection" were published in the 5th year of Jiajing Period. "Cangyuan Qunshu Jingyanlu" Volume 13, Part 2, contains as many as six editions of Wang Anshi's poetry collection, including: ① One hundred volumes of "Wang Wengong Collection" collected by Liu Hanchen (volumes 4 to 7 and 3 are missing). Seventeen to forty-seven, sixty-one to sixty-nine, *** twenty-four volumes are missing, seventy-six volumes are preserved, and two volumes of catalog are included) ② One hundred volumes of "Collected Works of Wang Wengong" (one to seventy volumes are preserved). ) His solution: "The Song version has a height of six inches and eight inches and a width of four inches and eight inches. It has ten lines on the half leaf and seventeen characters in each line. There are double columns on the left and right of the white mouth, with large and clear characters. The preface is missing. Volumes 1 to 36 contain texts, and volumes 37 to 70 contain poems. However, there are no inscriptions or memorials, so we know that this is an unfinished edition. The first poem in Volume 1 is "The Letter to the Emperor", which is in a different order than the Shaoxing version which starts with poems. It is also a different version of the "Linchuan Collection". The seals include the Kanazawa Bunku and the Chilu Bunku Muji. Note: My old friend Yingchuanjun lived at the junction of Jianghuai River and Huaihe River. (In this case: it refers to Baoying Liu Qirui, a minister.) The "Collected Works of Wang Wengong" is in his family's collection. Its layout and style are exactly the same.

However, I think there are three reasons why this is valuable: the original calligraphy is exquisite, and the back of the paper is written by people from the Song Dynasty. The writing and ink are elegant and can be played with again and again. The Liao edition has no order, so the commentator made a wild guess, thinking that it was the one hundred and sixty-volume edition of Zhen Shang Zhai, half of which was lost. This catalog is complete, and it is still one hundred volumes. However, the order is different from the Shaoxing version, and I have accumulated doubts and relied on this complete explanation. This is two valuable things. The Liao edition lacks volumes below seventy, this edition lacks volumes four to six, thirty-seven to forty-seven, sixty-one to sixty-nine, and *** is missing twenty-four volumes, but volumes below seventy are completely extant. It can make up for the shortcomings of the Liao original, and there must be lost texts other than Luo Chao. This is three valuable things. Yu Chang said it to the elders of the Eastern Capital, and it was published in the Liao edition at about the same time. I thought it would be the reason for the catalog and the thirty volumes to be added to it, so as to maximize the beauty of the perfect combination, so as not to be filled with water, and to look at each other forever, so that future generations can Caressing the scroll increases the sigh. "According to the above two articles, in addition to the "Linchuan Collection", there is another edition system for Wang Anshi's poetry collection, namely "Wang Wengong Collection", which is also in one hundred volumes, but the order of chapters is different. But in modern times The "Collected Works of Wang Wen Gong" is not well preserved, with only more than seventy volumes left. ③ Li Muzhai collected one hundred volumes of "Collected Works of Mr. Linchuan". The explanation is: "In the 21st year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty, the two provinces were transferred to the west." Si Wangjue published the revised version in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, with twelve lines and twenty crosses. There is a supplementary publication in the fifth year of Jiajing period in the Ming Dynasty. The taboos of the Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty all lacked pen, and the character "structure" was used to indicate the imperial name. There is a nine-line inscription by Wang Jue of Xinwei, Shaoxing, published in western Zhejiang. There is a preface by Wu Cheng, saying that Weisu searched for various editions, added and edited them, and compared them with the Linchuan, Jinxi, Masha, and Zhexi editions, which are quite comprehensive. In the 15th year of Yongle's reign, Yang Shiqi collected the excerpts of various schools of thought and put them behind the general catalogue, with densely printed small print. At the end of the volume there was the sign "Jiajing Dinghai Qiu Zhong Guozijian Supplement Completed". "According to this, Li Muzhai's collection and Ding Bing's collection both belong to the edition system published by Wang Jue, and were revised in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. ④ The 100-volume "Collected Works of Mr. Linchuan" published in the Song Dynasty and supplemented by the Yuan Dynasty is collected by Wang Xu Wenying Pavilion. (Item 6) to nine, eighteen to twenty-one, twenty-six to thirty-four, forty-two to fifty, fifty-three to fifty-eight, sixty-two to seventy, seventy-four to eighty-one, eighty. 9 to 100, fifty-nine volumes in total) ⑤ Two volumes of the catalog of 100 volumes of "Collected Works of Mr. Linchuan" collected by Fu Zengxiang: "The Song version was translated by Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, with twelve lines and two crosses, and there are spaces in the volume of the Song emperor. . In the 10th year of BC Shaoxing, Huang Cishan republished the "Collected Works of Linchuan" with the preface and sub-general title. The table of contents of each volume continues the text. ⑥ "Mr. Linchuan's Collected Works" has two volumes of contents in one hundred volumes. Its solution: "The Song version was translated by Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, with twelve lines and twenty crosses." Commentary by He Yimen (Zhuo), slightly revised. ""The number of volumes of the "Linchuan Collection" engraved by the cabinet in the Song Dynasty are all the same, except for the collection of Huazhong Fu Zhenshangzhai, which has 160 volumes. I wonder if this book is still in the human world? With the power of Zhongfu, we can reopen it, pass it on and make it unique as a treasure in the house, please! What a pity. "Xuanhe Shupu" records that Jinggong was in Jinling and wrote the "Jingyi Hall Records", which Cai Bian wrote to advance. If the records are not concentrated now, then there should be many left behind. The "Xiaolou Bibliography" of Dongjian Yi Lao has a fragmentary version of "Collection of Mr. Linchuan" in 16 volumes and 14 volumes, which is almost the same as the one in Zhongfu's collection. "According to this, in addition to the common 100-volume version of "Linchuan Collection", there is also a 160-volume version at Fuzhen Shangzhai in Central China. This version is the same as the fragmentary version of "Linchuan Collection" collected in "Xiaolou Book List" "Mr. Collection" is the same edition. Overview: The collection of Wang Anshi's poems was compiled by Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was originally compiled by Xue Ang in the 10th year of Emperor Gaozong's reign in Shaoxing. The two editions of Fujian and Zhejiang were revised and republished, and Huang Cishan wrote a preface for this edition. In the 21st year of Shaoxing, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, Wang Jue, Wang Anshi's great-grandson, carved stones based on Xue Ang's manuscripts and Wang Anshi's own handwriting. He then consulted the editions and republished them. Zhan Dahe's edition was reprinted in the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Jue's edition was also revised and supplemented in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. For example, Wei Su of the Yuan Dynasty collected the editions, added them, revised them, and compiled them into several volumes, with Wu Cheng writing the preface. The name gradually evolved from the original "Linchuan Collection" to "Collected Works of Mr. Linchuan". According to the catalog records of various periods, in addition to the common one-hundred-volume version of "Linchuan Collection", there are also one hundred volumes. The thirty-volume edition, the one hundred and sixty-volume edition, and the eighty-volume "Linchuan Collection", according to the "Summary of the General Catalog of Sikuquanshu", this is because "the editions are different, and the transcribers have different opinions." "The number of volumes is different. In addition, there is a different version of "Linchuan Collection", namely "Collected Works of Wang Wengong", which is both in one hundred volumes, but the order of chapters is different. It is another version of Wang Anshi's poetry collection. The first edition system. According to Fu Zengxiang, it was collected by Liu Hanchen at that time. In addition, the appendix to Volume 5 of "Junzhai Shuzhi" records the 50th volume of "Annotations to Wang Jinggong's Poems".

One records the fifteen volumes of "Annotations on Jing Gong's Poems". Volume 153 of "Sikuquanshu General Catalog" contains six volumes of "Annotations on Wang Jing Gong's Poems" collected by the governor of Jiangsu.

Zhang Zongsong of Haiyan obtained the Yuanren manuscript and started it as the school magazine. A collection of ancient and modern poems, edited by Shixing's "Linchuan Collection", adding seventy-two poems. What is missing is at the end of the appendix. ""Manuscripts of Qing History? Art and Literature Chronicles and Supplements" records that Shen Qinhan wrote "Annotations to the Collected Works of Wang Jinggong of Song Dynasty" in the forty-fourth volume. Sun Dianqi's "Trading Books Ouji" Volume 13 records that Shen Qinhan wrote "Annotations to the Collected Works of Wang Jinggong" Eight volumes, (published around the time of Xuantong, this edition was later owned by Liu Family Jiaye Hall, supplemented by "Li Bi Annotation of Wang Jinggong's Poetry Collection", four volumes with corrections and corrections) "Cangyuan Qunshu Jingyan Lu" Collection Part 2, records the Ming Dynasty edition Xu Shizeng compiled four volumes of "Collected Works of Mr. Wang of Linchuan".

Three versions of "Annotations on Wang Jinggong's Poems" written by Li Bi include: ① Fifty volumes of "Annotations on Wang Jinggong's Poems" (seventeen volumes are preserved). Its explanation: "The version published in the Song Dynasty has ten lines and fifteen characters in the first half of the book. The two lines of annotations are the same. There are additions and additions between the annotations. There are additional annotations and replacement leaves by Gengyin at the end of each volume, which is Zeng Ji's. Supplemented by Jing Jian. Note: The only copy of this book in Song Dynasty is now in the collection of Liu's Jiaye Hall in Nanxun. Miao Yifeng (Quansun) made a copy, and I copied it and made it one of the Shu Xian series." ② Fifty volumes of "Notes on Wang Jingwengong's Poems" published in the Yuan Dynasty (reviewed by Liu Chenweng). ③ Fifty volumes of the old manuscript "Annotations to Wang Jingwengong's Poems" (archived volumes one to three, fifteen to eighteen, twenty-three to twenty-nine, forty-five to forty-seven, ***eighteen volumes) Summary : In later generations, there were many selections recorded from the "Linchuan Collection" and works annotating its poetry collections. The most influential one is "Wang Jinggong's Poems Annotations" written by Li Bi in the Song Dynasty. There was very little original circulation of it. Zhang Zongsong used the Yuan edition as the base and revised it with "Linchuan Collection". The more popular "Linchuan Collection" of "Wang Jinggong's Poems Annotations" contains 72 more ancient and modern poems. During the circulation process, Liu Chenweng once commented on "Annotations of Wang Jinggong's Poems" and provided supplementary annotations. Except for the "Wenwen Tongkao" which records fifteen volumes, other catalog books record the number of volumes as fifty. There are Song editions, Yuan editions and old manuscripts circulating. However, in modern times, only about ten volumes of Song editions and old manuscripts remain.
