Sikuquanshu Hall
The Sikuquanshu, or the Complete Library of the Four Branches of Literature, is the largest series of books coming down to us from ancient China. It has had a profound influence on the development of China’s academic culture. The study of this collection has formed a keystone of learning since the beginning of the twentieth century. This book discusses some important and fundamental questions, such as: When was the Hall set up, and when did it close? What were its agencies, and where were they located? How many people worked there? Zhang Sheng’s research emphasizes the detail of such questions, and his remarkable book adds to scholarship about the Sikuquanshu.

A text of central importance to the Chinese literary tradition, the Wen xuan was compiled by Xiao Tong (501-531) and is the oldest surviving anthology of Chinese literature arranged by genre.

These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
The Late Tang
" The poetry of the Late Tang often looked backward, and many poets of the period distinguished themselves through the intensity of their retrospective gaze. Chinese poets had always looked backward to some degree, but for many Late Tang poets the echoes and the traces of the past had a singular aura. In this work, Stephen Owen resumes telling the literary history of the Tang that he began in his works on the Early and High Tang. Focusing in particular on Du Mu, Li Shangyin, and Wen Tingyun, he analyzes the redirection of poetry that followed the deaths of the major poets of the High and Mid-Tang and the rejection of their poetic styles. The Late Tang, Owen argues, forces us to change our very notion of the history of poetry. Poets had always drawn on past poetry, but in the Late Tang, the poetic past was beginning to assume the form it would have for the next millennium; it was becoming a repertoire of available choices--styles, genres, the voices of past poets. It was this repertoire that would endure. "
