Features: Lu Zhan was a renowned statesman of the Tang Dynasty in China. This collection includes twenty-two volumes of his drafted official documents, memorials, and draft memorials during his tenure as a Hanlin Academician and Chancellor, with an additional volume of supplements and three volumes of appendices. During his service, the political situation was turbulent, and most of his drafted documents and memorials were works aimed at rectifying and admonishing the times. However, his arguments and criticisms exposed the problems of the era, clarified right and wrong, and balanced emotion and reason, combining the strengths of both parallel prose and prose. As a result, his works were highly regarded by later generations. The articles collected in this anthology are also important materials for understanding the politics, economy, and institutions of the mid-Tang Dynasty. The Lu Zhan Collection has been transmitted and printed through the ages. This edition is primarily based on Dong Shiren's annotated and critically evaluated edition compiled in the early 20th century, with additional punctuation and textual criticism.
