Features: This book combines the methods of writing records and collation to provide a comprehensive review of Dunhuang poetry works. The upper part of the book lists 63 collections of poetry and 1,401 poems, while the lower part records 524 scattered poems found at the beginning or end of scriptures. Together, they total 1,925 poems, making it the most comprehensive collection of Dunhuang poetry works to date. Dunhuang poetry is primarily based on Tang Dynasty poetry, supplemented by a small number of works from the early Song Dynasty. It includes both poetry by Chinese scholars circulating in Dunhuang and the creations of local Dunhuang people. There are both traditional and refined works in classical styles, as well as vernacular poems by folk talents. Its value lies not only in its irreplaceable role in textual criticism and collation but also in the authentic form of poetry creation and dissemination during the typical manuscript era of the Tang, Five Dynasties, and early Song Dynasties, which serves as a benchmark.
