Abstract:

Li Yu’s Yi Jia Yan was very popular and diverse for a long time. In 1678, Li Yu compiled his works into Yi Jia Yan: Volume I was based on an original version; Volume Ⅱ was a new anthology; Volume Ⅲ was a transfiguration of Lun Gu. Posthumously, his anthologies gradually turned into a sylloge. Yi Jia
Yan collected by the Library of US Congress is a crucial stage among the process.
