With the assistance of Xu, the successor, in the twenty-ninth year of Qianlong, the "Three Hundred Tang Poems" signed by Heng Tang was finally completed. This book selects 75 Tang Dynasty poets and 2 anonymous poems ***3 10.
At the time of engraving, three poems of Du Fu's Ode to Monument were added. Because the selected works are complete in genre, different in style, representative and easy to understand, they are widely circulated after publication, "a few are kept at home."
In the forty-third year of Qianlong, Sun Zhu died in Wuxi at the age of 67 and was buried in Chen Wanli, south of the city. Sun Zhu is good at poetry and prose, and there are still masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, such as "A Manuscript in a Horizontal Pond", "A Record of Paimen" and "A Record of Literature and Art".
