Abstract: Wen Lan Ge Gong Chao Si Ku Quan Shu Dai Fang Mu is the catalogue of missing books and volumes generated in the process of supplementary copying Wen Lan Ge Si Ku Quan Shu. There are two versions that can be seen so far: in addition to the popular lead-printed edition, there are also manuscripts in the library of Shandong University. There are differences between the two versions, which respectively reflect the supplementary copying of Wen Lan Ge Si Ku Quan Shu at different stages. The Shandong University’s edition was compiled between the 14th and 20th years of Guangxu Dynasty, while the lead-printed edition was revised by Yuan Jiagu during the Xuantong dynasty. Wen Lan Ge Gong Chao Si Ku Quan Shu Dai Fang Mu reflects the historical details of Ding brother’s “ Supplementary Copy in Guangxu dynasty”, and also reflects the promotion of cultural undertakings by the opening of public libraries during the Republic of China.
