Why is there a Kangxi edition of Sikuquanshu?

Gan Long's original intention of compiling Sikuquanshu and the means of collecting books from all over the world can be traced back to his grandfather Kangxi. Gan Long just followed in his footsteps and increased his efforts. As far as the source of the revised books is concerned, at that time, in addition to the collection of books in the Qing Dynasty, they were mainly collected by provincial governors and presented by private bibliophiles all over the country. Both of these books were collected at the urging of Emperor Qianlong's repeated issuance of "Oracle", which reflected the high pressure of feudal autocracy on ideology and culture, and the initiator of this practice was Kangxi, which was clearly recorded in the documents of the Qing Dynasty. For example, during the Jiaqing period, Xu Xilin and * * * compiled the seventh volume of A New Edition of Xi Stories (printed by Shanghai Ancient Books Bookstore, 1983, with the author's title as Collection of Jin Deshui in Grain Rain), just like the next paragraph: In the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi, the Imperial Palace Imperial Academy instructed: Since ancient times, Emperor Wang has had long articles and classics available.
