Features: The "Song Re-engraved Complete Edition of the Mirror of Admonitions" in ten volumes was written by Jun Shu He Guangyuan of the Five Dynasties period. He Guangyuan, styled Huifu, was from Donghai and served as the Military Judge of Pu Prefecture during the early Guangzheng years of the Later Shu. In Volume 13 of "Chao's Records of Readings in the Prefecture Study," it is listed as {The "Mirror of Admonitions and Trials" in ten volumes}, and it is described as a compilation by Huang Zhengzhong of events from the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties that could serve as a model for the world. However, the book primarily contains stories from the Tang and Five Dynasties periods, making it essentially fiction. Therefore, Chao categorized it under the {Category of Fiction}. This edition is a Southern Song Dynasty middle period Zhejiang printing, bound in a small case format, consisting of two volumes. Each half-page has fifteen lines, with twenty-four characters per line. It has white margins and double borders on all sides, bound in a butterfly style. At the beginning of each volume, the title is written in large double lines, and the headings in the middle of the book are centered on a new line, with a fish-tail mark above them. This book was once owned by Xiang Yuanbian of the Tianlang Pavilion during the Ming Dynasty. It bears an inscription from the Ming Wanli era (1573) indicating a re-binding: {On the bright moonlit night of the seventh month of the autumn in the first year of the Ming Wanli era, it was re-bound in the Tianlang Pavilion.}
