Abstract:

It is normally believed that for the Compilation of the Siku Quanshu, during Qian Long’s rule, Zhu Yun, the educational officer of Anhui Province who originally established the academic organ to proofread books, submitted 37 kinds of books, 16 of which were taken into the Catelogue Summary of Siku Quanshu, and 4 of the 16 were taken into the Deposit Account of Si Ku. Zhu Xigeng thought that the books submitted by Zhu Yun had been recorded under Cheng Jinfang’s name. Carefully checking the File of Editing the Siku Quanshu and the Bibliography of Si Ku Takend, we found that among the over 50 kinds of books submitted by Zhu Yun, 14 were taken into the Siku Quanshu, and 2 of the 14 were taken into the Deposit Account of Si Ku. The fact that most submitted books had not been returned was an important reason to cause the misunderstanding of Zhu Xigeng to Cheng Jinfang.

Key words: Siku Quanshu, Personally submitted books, Zhu Yun, Cheng Jinfang
