For literary figures with entries in official histories, original sources have been traced to compile their biographies. The Great Dictionary of Chinese Literary Figures spans from the pre-Qin era to the May Fourth Movement period of modern times, arranged chronologically in seven volumes: Pre-Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Five Dynasties, Song Dynasty, Liao, Jin, and Yuan Dynasty, Modern Era, Qing Dynasty, and Contemporary Era, totaling approximately ten million words. Each volume is independently published. Once all seven volumes are completed, they will constitute a comprehensive collection of biographical and bibliographical materials on Chinese literary figures.
