Quantangshi

Quantangshi
The interest of the Kangxi Emperor in Tang Poetry is shown here by his calligraphic reproduction of a Tang poem, in praise of chrysanthemums.

The Quantangshi (traditional Chinese: 全唐詩; simplified Chinese: 全唐诗; pinyin: Quán Táng Shī) (and also appearing in English transliteration, especially in some older sources, as Ch'üan T'ang Shi), and also translated as the Complete Tang Poems, is a collection of Tang poetry. Containing some 49,000 poems[1], it is the major source of surviving Tang Dynasty poems, and one of the largest and most important, historically and otherwise, collections of poetry ever made.

History

The Quantangshi was imperially commissioned in 1705 CE,[1] although the poems in it date from the time of the Tang Dynasty (approximately 618 to 907). The team charged with collecting the poems was led by Cao Yin (曹寅) and Peng Dingqiu (彭定求). The collection of nearly 50,000 poems by over 2,200 authors was divided into 900 scrolls.[2]
