The lost articles were searched through various records and compiled into 73 volumes of "Compilation of Song, Jin and Yuan Ci", among which many lost articles were adopted from "Yongle Dadian". Zhao Wanli, Chen Enhui and others persisted in the compilation work under very difficult conditions during the Japanese occupation. They found that several "Yongle Dadian" editions in the "Sikuquanshu" were inconsistent with the original text of the existing "Yongle Dadian". According to At that time, Chen Enhui suggested that the compilation of "Yongle Dadian" should be included in the work plan. Chen Enhui is specifically responsible for checking the "Sikuquanshu". After Zhao Wanli identified the lost articles, he hired two scribes to copy them. The compilation work lasted for 6 years, and a total of 213 types of historical records, sub-parts, and collections, especially local chronicles and anthologies, were compiled. Among them, "Yuan Yitong Zhi", "Analysis of Jin Zhi Compilation and Collation", "Xue Rengui's Campaign in Liao Dynasty", etc. were later reedited and published. Lost collections from this period include Guo Moruo's "Dade of the South China Sea", Qian Nanyang's "Three Commentary Notes on Yongle Dadian Drama Operas", Luan Guiming's "Siku Collection and Supplements", etc.
