Abstract:

There are only two Wang Yangming’s Poems edited by Qian Dehong in existence, both of which are collected in Japan. One is the first edition which is collected in Cabinet Library, but only three volumes left. And the other one is the later edition, which is collected in Kyushu University and has been supplemented, there are four complete volumes in existence. This book was the first systematic collection of Wang Yangming’s poems, which inherited Juyi Collection, and influenced Wang Yangming’s Essay, and was eventually incorporated into Wang Yangming Quanshu. The content of Wang Yangming’s Poems has been changed many times in the subsequent process, such as the title of the poem has been changed, the preface and notes has been missed, and the words of the poem appeared errors. At present, all kinds of collated editions of Wang Yangming Quanji don’t regard Wang Yangming’s Poems as the proofreading copy, which leads to some errors persist and affects the collation quality and related research of Wang Yangming’s poems. Wang Yangming’ s Poems is very significant to proofread Wang Yangming’s Poems.
