The author of "Zeng Guang Xian Wen" has never seen any books, except that it was revised by Confucian scholar Zhou during Tongzhi period in Qing Dynasty, which is probably the crystallization of folk creation in Qing Dynasty. Zengguang Xianwen is a children's enlightenment bibliography compiled in the Ming Dynasty in China, which brings together proverbs and aphorisms from ancient times to the present. Later, it was changed to this appearance after the continuous supplement of the literati in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was called "adding glory to the text" in history, commonly known as "adding glory to the text". The title of the book was first seen in the drama Peony Pavilion in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, so it can be inferred that this book was written in the Wanli period at the latest.
