The Great Dictionary of Chinese Literary Figures spans from the pre-Qin period to the May Fourth Movement of the modern era, arranged chronologically in seven volumes: Pre-Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Five Dynasties, Song Dynasty, Liao, Jin, and Yuan Dynasties, Modern Era, Qing Dynasty, and Contemporary Era, totaling approximately ten million words. Each volume is independently published. Once all seven volumes are completed and published, they will become a comprehensive collection of biographical and bibliographical materials on Chinese literary figures.
