Features: The "Fujian Series" is compiled by the Fujian Academy of Arts and Sciences with the aim of rescuing, preserving, and publishing the works and documents of Fujian people and Fujian-related events that hold high academic research value. Since 1993, it has successively published ten works, including He Qiaoyuan of Jinjiang, Ming Dynasty's "Ming Shan Zang," Ye Xianggao of Fuqing's "Cang Xia Cao Jia Quan," Chen Geng of Fujian lineage's "Da Jiang Ji" and "Da Jiang Cao Tang Er Ji," Yang Daobao of Jinjiang's "Yang Wen Shu Gong Wen Ji," Li Guangjin of Jinjiang's "Jing Bi Ji," Huang Kexuan of Jinjiang's "Shu Ma Ji," Zhou Zhikui of Min County's "Qi Cao Ji" (= "Huang Zhongyu Gong Ji" of Pu'an), Han Xi of Houguan's "Rong An Ji," and Luo Mingzu of Yong'an's "Luo Wen Shan Quan Ji," among others. These publications have preserved a large amount of precious historical materials from rare and valuable copies, with excellent printing quality and significant bibliographical value. After publication, it attracted attention from cultural, academic, and publishing circles both domestically and internationally, and was collected by national libraries in countries such as the United States and Japan. In 1996, it received high praise at the National Academy of Arts and Sciences Achievements Exhibition. Given that once manuscripts are lost, they cannot be recovered, the second series of the series focuses on rescuing and publishing the manuscripts of valuable works and documents of Fujian people and Fujian-related events, with no time limit and no restrictions on the authors. It has successively published more than ten works, such as "Shen Wenshu Gong Du," "Yi Kuai Xuan Wen Ji," and "Wang Wenqin Gong Ri Ji." The second series was once again well-received by all circles. After discussion, the academy and Guangling Book Society decided to launch the third series of Fujian Series, mainly publishing the poetry and prose collections of famous scholars in Fujian. The third series will continue to maintain the characteristics of the first two series, selecting excellent texts and carefully editing them.
