1. Introduction of Song Qi
Song Qi (998-1061) was a Northern Song Dynasty historian, writer, and bibliographer. Zi Jing (字子京), a native of Kaifeng Yong County (present-day Qi County, Henan), lived in Anlu (present-day Hubei). Song Qi successively served as Dr. Taichang, Judge of Quandu Branch, Bachelor of Hanlin, Waiter of Ceremonial Department, Bachelor of Longtuge, Zuo Cheng, Shangshu of Gongbu, and "Jingwen". Before his death, he had decided on xinle according to the edict, and Shangchen zhiguo would go to the principle of "three redundancies and three fees" and enter the policy of "Seven Theories of Imperial Rong", and his political achievements were remarkable.
Song Qishan poetry. Although he did not get rid of the gorgeous old habits of the late Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties, he had novel ideas, fluent language, vivid descriptions, and some good sentences were widely circulated. The words and sentences of the "Yulou Spring" composed are beautiful, mostly recited, because there is a sentence in the words "Red Apricot Branches Spring Trouble", which is called "Mr. Red Apricot". In addition, in "Partridge Heaven", "Liu Lang has hated Pengshan Mountain, and even more 10,000 pounds away from Pengshan Mountain", which was once praised by Emperor Renzong and has been passed down as a good story.
Song Qi wrote a lot of works in his lifetime. He has repaired the Notes on Living And the Book of Rites, and pre-edited the Records of Guangye, the Records of The Fields, and the Collection of Rhymes. Co-authored the New Book of Tang with Ouyang Xiu? Yiwen Zhi" (added to the book written by Tang Dynasty scholars, which is of great help to the study of Tang Dynasty academic culture. Co-authored the "General Catalogue of Chongwen" with Wang Yaochen and others, and made outstanding contributions to the history of bibliography in China. He is the author of two volumes of "Great Letu", "Yidu Fangwuzhi", "Notes of Song Jingwen", "Song Jingwen Collection" and so on.
2. Song Dynasty version verification
Various extant documents record the Song Dynasty version of the Song Jing Anthology, with varying volumes.
The synopsis of the Song Jing Anthology, volume 152 of the General Catalogue of the Four Libraries of the King,D.C. states:
Sixty-two volumes of the Collected Works of the Emperor and others, written by Song Song Qi. ...... According to Chen Zhiqiang's original preface, it is known that Wang Yunchu, the Shouwang of Anzhou in Jiaji, had collected the Second Song Dynasty, but the preface only stated that his words were more than 800,000, and had not been analyzed and the number of volumes. The "Biography of Qi Ben" calls it a collection of hundred volumes, the "Yiwen Zhi" calls it one hundred and fifty volumes, and there is a volume of "Qiben Biography" and twenty volumes of "Collection of Knives and Pens", which are not consistent with the "Biography". The rest, such as Fan Zhen's "Shinto Tablets", ma Duanlin's "Tongkao" are called one hundred and fifty volumes. Zeng Gong's "Longping Collection", Wang Wei's "Eastern Capital Chronicle", Chen Zhensun's "Book Record Solution" and Jiao Zhen's "Classics" are all called hundred volumes. Zheng Qiao's Tongzhi is only called seventy-eight volumes. The Tang Geng order is called two hundred volumes. Because the collection has been lost, the records are sparse, and it is not clear which one is. The "Lu You Collection" contains Qi poems such as "The Small Collection of Chu Que" and "Xizhou Obscene Manuscript", and Ren Yuan of shu was once annotated with Huang Tingjian and Chen Wujie. It is not passed on today. The Northern Song Dynasty small collection compiled by the recent people includes a kind of "Xizhou Obscene Manuscript", which is collected from the "Chengdu Literature Class", "Yingkui Law Style", and "Wenhan Class Selection", which is not the original. In accordance with the Yongle Canon, it is summarized in sixty volumes and has two volumes. Although it may not be necessary to return to the old view, but the name of the chapter system, forgiveness can be obtained seven out of ten.
The synopsis provides a relatively complete overview of the general circulation of the Song Dynasty version of the Song Jing Anthology, and clarifies the circulation context. The author mainly examines the circulation of its version according to this context, supplemented by records from other literature.
Other literature documents are as follows:
Song Dynasty: Fan Zhen's "Song Jingwen Gongsheng Dao Stele", Chen Zhensun's "Zhizhai Book Record Solution" volume 17, Chao Gongwu's "Reading History" volume 19, and "Song Shi Yiwen Zhi" all record 150 volumes. Zeng Gong's Longping Collection, volume 5, "Biography of Song Qi", Wang Wei's "Eastern Capital Chronicle" volume 5, and Chen Zhensun's "Explanation of the Records of Zhizhai Book" volume 17, said that the "Biography of Song Qi" "has a hundred volumes of anthology." Volume 284 of the History of song refers to this biography as "a hundred volumes of anthology". Zheng Qiao's Tongzhi YiwenLuo records seventy-eight volumes of the Song Jingwen Gongji and five volumes of the Chuyi Xiaoji.
In the Qing Dynasty Geng Wenguang's "Ten Thousand Volumes essence Louzang Secretary", it is said that in the second year of Yuan Fu (1099), "two hundred volumes of the collection of essays", Tang Geng's preface to his ninety-nine volumes.
According to the above-mentioned bibliographies, the Song Jing Anthology had four versions in the Song Dynasty: two hundred volumes, one hundred and fifty volumes, one hundred volumes, and seventy-eight volumes.
3. The Circulation of the Collected Works of Song Jing in China
After the Song Dynasty, the "Song Jing Anthology" appeared in China as follows:
Ming Dynasty: Jiao's "History of the State and Classics" is called a hundred volumes; Chen Di's Catalogue of Books in the Shishan Hall Collection was downloaded in 150 volumes; The Yongle Canon and the Compendium of Chinese Series records sixty-two volumes.
Qing Dynasty: The Siku Quanshu and the Wuyingdian Juzhen Edition Book are called sixty-two volumes; Sun Xinghua's compilation of the Collected Works of Song Jing in twenty-two volumes; Lu Xinyuan's "Song Jing Anthology" refers to his collection of various books, including the fragments of the "Ancun Series", the "Chengdu Literature Category", the "Bofang Daquan", the "Discussion of the Ministers", the "Quanshu Yi Wenzhi", etc., in addition to the sixty-two volumes of the four libraries, the compilation of poems "a total of 260 poems and 281 poems", and listed in detail.

After careful comparison and verification by the editors of "Quan Song Wen" and "Quan Song Poems", it was found that there were many misconceptions in "Picking Up", and because they were deleted one by one, more than seventy texts and ten poems were compiled in addition to two books.
3. The Circulation of the Song Jing Anthology in Japan
The Imperial Library of the Imperial Household (formerly known as the Imperial Library) in Japan contains the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty Jian'an Linen Periodicals, which are recorded in the following documents.
Dong Kang mentions in volume III of the Shugang Yong Tan:
The Jingwen Song Gongji(景文宋公集) is an eighteen-volume, Southern Song Dynasty periodical, butterfly, and volumes 26 (owing the first three pages) to 32 (owing the first four pages), volume 81 (owing the first half of the first page) to volume 85 (this volume ends at page 17). Volume 120 (this volume ends at the first half of page XI) to volume 125 (this volume ends at the first half of page XI). The board is about seven inches high, with twelve lines per half page and two crosses per page. The middle stitch is "Jing Wen Ji", and there are engraved names in the lower part, such as Huang, Zhang or the names such as Zhao, Pin, and Yi. (all marked with one word). Those with complete names and surnames, only Zhang Shouzhong, Yu or minus pen characters, most of them can not be recognized.
Fu Zengxiang saw it in Japan, and his "Records of the Books and Eyes of the Tibetan Garden Group" volume 13 recorded:
Thirty-two volumes remain. Song Magazine, half page, twelve lines, two crosses, white mouth, left and right double appendix. The number of words on the center of the edition is recorded, and the name of the publisher is written down, and only one person can be identified, zhang shouzhong, and the words Zhang, Huang, Pin, Zhao, and Yi are recognizable. The title is "Jing Anthology". The version is tall and seven inches. The font of this book is ancient, quite simple and thick, the layout is horizontal, the linen is as clean as jade, and the butterfly suit still exists in the old style of the Song Dynasty.
Yan Shaoxuan's "Records of The Good Books of Japanese-Tibetan-Chinese Literature" adds:
At the beginning of each volume, there is the seal of the "Chapter of the Secret Book". It is said to be "the eighteenth volume of the present existence", that is, volume 26 (missing pages 1 to 3), volumes 27 to 31, volumes 32 (missing pages 1 to 4), volume 81 (missing the first half), volumes 82 to 84, volumes 85 (pages 1 to 17), volumes 120 (saving pages 1 to 10), volumes 121 to 124, and volumes 125 (saving pages 1 to the first half of pages 10).
What is recorded in the "Anthonymity Series":
In the seventh year of culture (1810), Thirty-two volumes were published in Japan and included in the "Ano Cun Series". Among them are the Tianpu Mountain People (Lin Heng) Trek:
Song Jingwen gong poetry is elegant and obo, exploitative and steep, and the northern Song dynasty princes do not have their own families. Commentators may be difficult and dangerous, not necessarily. This collection may be called one hundred volumes, or one hundred and fifty volumes, and the cover collection is not one kind, and each book is dead today. Recently, Wen Qingguo also collected it from the "Great Canon" and divided it into sixty-two volumes, knowing that it was not complete. Yu even received the song shu zero copy, called one hundred and fifty volumes, regretting that it was only a few volumes, but the original form of the collection of guan ben. The old Song dynasty, which is very rare in existence, is now printed out to be placed in the series of letters.
The Japanese edition of the "Ancun Series of Books", the Guangxu Huang's Wooden Movable Type Edition, the Republic of China Commercial Press photocopied the Japanese edition, and there are now collections in China, and the "First Compilation of The Series of Books" and the typeset version are quite easy to obtain.
