Features: Huang Zongxi was a great Enlightenment thinker and a versatile scholar during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, holding a significant position in the history of Chinese thought and culture. Throughout his life, he wrote extensively, with his monographs and collected poems alone exceeding three million characters. His works covered various disciplines such as political science, philosophy, history, literature, mathematics, astronomy, geography, and textual studies. This is a precious treasure in our nation's cultural heritage. Using Marxist perspectives and methods to comprehensively and systematically study his works, absorbing the essence of his democracy and science, undoubtedly benefits the construction of socialist spiritual civilization. For this reason, our publishing house has decided to further widely collect Huang Zongxi's works, distinguish between authentic and spurious texts, verify the text, punctuate and segment them, and compile and publish the Complete Works of Huang Zongxi for research purposes. The complete works are published in twelve volumes: Volumes one to eleven contain Huang Zongxi's original works, which are generally categorized and compiled into each volume according to the nature of their content; Volume twelve is the appendix volume, compiling biographies, epitaphs, chronicles, biographies, prefaces, commentaries, and name indexes of Huang Zongxi's original works from the first eleven volumes.
