Features: The Complete Works of Shen Congwen includes all published literary works, academic writings, and correspondence of Mr. Shen Congwen collected to date. Unpublished works, letters, diaries, and other written historical materials have also been as comprehensively included as possible. The complete collection contains over 10 million words, of which approximately 4.4 million are works and letters unpublished during the author's lifetime. Additionally, it includes over 1,710 illustrations, nearly 200 of which are precious historical materials such as life photos, autographs, and sketches of the author from different periods. The complete works are organized into volumes by fiction, essays, biographies, miscellaneous writings, poetry, literary theory, correspondence, and collected works outside the main body, as well as material culture history. The Patterns of Chinese Silk introduces silk patterns from the Warring States period to the late Qing Dynasty. However, due to the scarcity of materials from the Warring States, Six Dynasties, and Song dynasties, which were difficult to collect, they have been supplemented.
