Features: The articles in Supplementary Studies on Tang and Five Dynasties Literature and History can be divided into two categories based on their form: one is individual studies, and the other is a group of studies. Based on their content, they can also be divided into two categories: one is newly conducted studies (studies that have not been done by predecessors), and the other is revised studies (studies that have been done by predecessors but contain errors). A group of studies refers to a set of individual studies on a particular writer and their works, with several entries, which Professor Wu Zaiqing has arranged together. For example, in the section Discerning Poets and Their Works and Years, Ma Dai's four entries form a group, Zhao Gu's five entries form a group, and Luo Yin's ten entries form a group. This is more useful for those studying literary history. Individual studies are like pearls, shining brilliantly in various corners; a group of studies is like scattered pearls strung into a series of pearl flowers, even more dazzling. This book can be divided into two categories based on form: one is individual studies, and the other is a group of studies. Based on content, it can also be divided into two categories: one is newly conducted studies, and the other is revised studies.
