Abstract: t Compared with other dynasties, the research of literature in Yuan dynasty is relatively weak,
especially in poetry and essays. One of the important causes is the relatively backward development and
arrangement of literature. As the collections of poems and essays, QuanYuanwen and QuanYuanshi, have
been published one after another, they provid a solid platform for the poetry study of the Yuan dynasty. But,
as the two collections are numerous, and, compared with Quan Tangshi and Quan Tangwen, they don’t have
much previous research for reference, let alone the fact that they were composed by many more writers, the
compilation process will inevitably involve many a problem. For example, there is much to be corrected
in the authors’ biographies. This paper is just the textual research of Wang Xunyuan, Tao An and other five
writers, in the hope of fill the missing part or correcting the mistakes of the two books.

Key words: Writers in the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty literature, QuanYuanwen, QuanYuanshi, Generalcollections
