Abstract:

Ardently loving ancient books, Miao Quansun made vigorous efforts to compile and publish
collections in his whole life. In his selection of books for publishing, Miao tended to select the rare and perfect
emendations; he attached importance to selecting writings written by his own village and town, writings of sound learning
and scattered pieces with local documentary values. Before a collection was published, he always made vigorous
efforts to collate and find disappeared articles, and got great achievements. There were strict procedures in the course
of publishing, so all of books he published were fine ones.
