What is a collection of poems?

A collection is a collection of works by more than two people, which can include works of one dynasty (dating) and many dynasties (contemporary), and can also include works of one genre and many genres. Generally speaking, the ancient books are mostly poetry collections. The Book of Songs compiled in the 6th century BC seems to be the earliest collection of poems in China.

Other collections only accept the works of a single author. According to the editing situation, it can be divided into two types:

One kind is self-compiled anthology, such as Cao Zhi's personal anthology before his death (see the book Biography of Cao Jinzhi) and Sun Qiao's Anthology of Sun Kezhi in the Tang Dynasty.

Second, other collections of works edited by others. For example, The Collected Works of Han Yu in Tang Dynasty was compiled by his son-in-law Li Han after Han Yu's death, which is also the collected works of Mr. Changli.
