Beschreibung

Edited by Qingzeng Qian. 20 parts & three Addenda in eight vols. 8vo, later wrappers, new stitching. Hangzhou: Zhejiang shu ju, 1876. An early edition (1st ed.: Shanghai, 1804), of one of the author s most important and representative works, posthumously edited by his son, Qian Qingzeng (active 19th century). The polymath Qian Daxin ??? (1728-1804), was a Qing Dynasty scholar-official, historian, and linguist; he served as commissioner of education and examinations in Guangdong Province. Qian devoted most of his energy to historical studies, although his learning in the Confucian classics was also profound. Qian s scholarship was notable for its precision and breadth. He excelled most other historians of his time not only in applying evidential-research methodology, already highly developed in classical studies, to historiography, but also in using a wide knowledge of such subjects as mathematics, astronomy, and calendars in his historical enquiries…[in this work] he delved into various aspects of the histories and classics; he also undertook textual criticism and topical research and made occasional moral judgments. D.R. Woolf, ed., A Global Encyclopedia of Historical Writing, II, pp. 751-52. Qian s main concerns as a historian were Confucian classical studies, history, bibliography, phonology, etymology, the calendar, astronomy, mathematics, history of the Yuan Dynasty, etc. Fine fresh set.
