The compilation process of Complete Tang Poetry is as follows: In the 42nd year of Kangxi (1703), the Qing sage considered compiling this book, and in March of the 44th year (1705), when he visited the Soviet Union for the fifth time, he entrusted Jiangning with the compilation of this book, and distributed a copy of Ji Tang Poetry for the collection of the imperial court.
In May of the same year, under the auspices, he began to write books in Yangzhou.

basis of compilation
This voluminous book can be compiled in just over a year, mainly by making full use of the achievements of Ji's Tang poems and Hu Zhenheng's Tang Yin Tong Qian.
Ji (1630- 1674), a native of Taixing, Taizhou, was a famous bibliophile in the early Qing Dynasty, with a rich collection of books, located in the south of the Yangtze River. He compiled Tang poems from the third year of Kangxi (1664) to the twelfth year of Kangxi (1673). It took ten years to succeed.
This book has 7 17 volumes, 42,93 1 poems and1,895 authors. According to the source of materials, there are three main aspects. The first is to make full use of your rare books and cheats.
According to Ji's Collection of Books, there are 150 kinds of collections and anthologies of Tang poems in Song Dynasty, such as the Song Dynasty engraved poems and the Ming Dynasty copied Poem Garden, which are all rare large-scale poems. After compiling, I got the unfinished manuscript of Qian Yuan's Tang Poetry. In addition, the early Tang Dynasty made full use of the achievements of Tang poetry in Yanwu in the late Ming Dynasty.
With these conditions, Ji's academic talent, after ten years of repeated revisions and a large number of addenda, was finally compiled into this book. Ji died the year after the book was finished. At that time, the manuscript was not in Fu Zi, and it was quickly transferred to the palace.
Hu Zhenheng (1569—1645), whose name is Xiao Yuan, was born in Haiyan, Zhejiang Province, and was the minister of war. Tang Yin Tong Qian is a collection of poems of Tang Dynasty compiled by him all his life. There are 1,033 volumes in the book, which are in the order of ten dry words, and there are poems, words, ballads, wine orders, Zhan words and so on. According to The Times. At the end of the article, "Deck Money" is attached, which is a compilation of research materials on Tang poetry.
Hu compiled this book and collected a wide range of materials. All the missing sentences in the Tang Dynasty are sorted out according to what they have seen, and the source is indicated. Tang poetry skills and critical materials are also attached to the poem. The textual research on the poet's life is particularly detailed, and the anecdotes of his posthumous works are sorted out with small notes. After the book was compiled, it was not printed. In the early Qing dynasty, some of them were printed by later generations, and most of them were handed down by manuscripts.
According to the data sources of the Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty contained in the General Catalogue of Sikuquanshu, "it is the compilation of the Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty, which is based on Zhenhengben, benefited from the Collection of Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty collected by Neifu, and adopted the remains contained in the residual tablets and miscellaneous historical books as a supplement." What he said was vague and a bit secretive.
According to the textual research of modern Zhou Xunchu (see The Story of the Complete Works of Tang Poetry, the eighth volume of literature and history), it can be seen that The Complete Works of Tang Poetry refers to seasonal books, and Patten's use of these two books is not completely true.
Judging from The Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty and two books, Ji and Hu, Ji is the main one, and Hu Ben is also adopted. Specifically, in the early Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Ji Shu was used as a base, with slight additions, deletions and corrections. This is the final version. In the middle and late Tang dynasty, it was relatively thin, and the editor made a big supplement with Hu Zhu, such as Yin's poems, which were completely missing, that is, supplemented by Hu Zhu; Hu Ceng and Si Kongtu lost many poems in the current season, which were also supplemented according to Hu Shu.
In addition, the collection of poems is mainly composed of poems, while Hu's collection is mainly composed of zero chapters and broken sentences. Most of the missing sentences attached to each episode of Complete Tang Poetry are copied from Hu Shu.
