Features: The book will be published in two volumes. The first volume collects sub-books similar to the "Complete Collection of the Masters of the Hundred Schools," which are frequently read or referenced by general researchers. Each book selects the best available annotated edition to date. For a very small number of books without annotations, annotations will be provided separately. Some books include multiple annotated editions, each with its own strengths. To maintain consistency in style, generally only annotated editions written in classical or colloquial classical Chinese are included, except for a few exceptions. The second volume collects other sub-books outside the first volume. Most of them do not have existing annotated editions. For those that require annotations, they will be annotated. The rest will select better versions for collation. Many books in this volume are incomplete or fragmented. During the organization process, different situations will be distinguished: some will select better existing compiled editions, while others will need to be supplemented or recompiled. Some sub-books are part of books or suspected of being spurious books. Those with earlier production dates, historical influence, and certain reference value for studying specific issues will be selectively included.
