Features: Wenzhou, formerly known as Dongyou, has a long history. Since the Song Dynasty, it has been renowned for its succession of outstanding figures and rich cultural heritage, with local literature collections surpassing those in southeastern Zhejiang. The Wenzhou Library houses a large number of manuscripts, copies, and printed books, while the Wenzhou Museum and other institutions have accumulated many valuable documents. In the process of building a modern Wenzhou, rescuing and developing historical and cultural heritage, and preserving the abundant achievements left by predecessors, is a shared aspiration of the city's cultural and academic community. In modern times, Wenzhou has conducted four large-scale literature compilations. During the Tongzhi and Guangxu periods of the Qing Dynasty, Rui'an Sun Yiyan compiled and published the "Yongjia Series" in fifteen volumes and 252 chapters. In 1915, Rugao Mao Guangsheng edited and published the "Yongjia Poets' Feizhang Series" in fourteen volumes and 22 chapters. In the 1920s and 1930s, Yongjia Huang Qun published the "Jingxianglou Series" in thirty-eight volumes and 289 chapters. Before the outbreak of the War of Resistance, the Yongjia District Committee for Collecting the Works of Local Predecessors copied and preserved 402 types of local literature in 1,259 chapters, benefiting scholars and making significant contributions. This book is divided into two main parts: "Essentials of Qing History" and "Essentials of Modern Chinese History," with main content including "The Rise of the Qing Dynasty," "Southern Ming's Resistance to the Qing," "Dorgon's Regency," and "Six South Tours," among others.
