Features: The Complete Collection of Tang Poems consists of nine hundred volumes, compiled by Cao Yin, who served as the Jiangning Textile Manufacturer under the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and ten Hanlin scholars including Peng Dingqiu and Yang Zhongne, who were then retired to Yangzhou. The collection includes over forty-eight thousand and nine hundred poems from the Tang and Five Dynasties periods, written by over two thousand two hundred authors. It is the most extensive and influential classical poetry anthology to date, undoubtedly holding great reference value for the study of Tang Dynasty history, culture, and literature in China. However, this massive work still suffers from issues such as incorrect inclusions, omissions, duplicate entries of authors and works, improper organization, and textual errors. To meet the needs of readers for reading and research, it is highly necessary to revise and supplement this Qing-era Complete Collection of Tang Poems and reprint it.
