''Guwen Guanzhi'' () is an anthology of essays written in literary Chinese. It was first published during the Qing dynasty in 1695. It comprises more than two hundred works from the Warring States period to the Ming dynasty. Today the anthology (in whole but mostly in part) is widely used as required or supplementary reading material of literary Chinese in middle-schools in the Greater China Region, including the Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. == Structure == ''Guwen Guanzhi'' has a total of 221 texts. The texts are arranged by period, and originally the book consisted of 12 fascicles (''juan'', 卷). The composition is as follows:〔Kallio, 18–19.〕 * Zhou dynasty (1045–221 BC), fascicles 1–3, 56 texts; from ''Zuo Zhuan'' 34 texts, ''Guoyu'' 11, ''Gongyang Zhuan'' 3, ''Guliang Zhuan'' 2, ''Liji'': ”Tangong” 6 * Qin dynasty (221–206 BC), fascicle 4, 17 texts; from ''Zhan Guo Ce'' 14 texts, by Li Si one text, two Chu ''ci'' poems * Han dynasty (206 BC–220), fascicles 5–6, 31 texts; from ''Shiji'' and by Sima Qian 15 texts; also texts from ''Hanshu'', ''Hou Hanshu'', ''Xinshu'' and by various writers including Zhuge Liang * Six dynasties (222–589), fascicle 7, 6 texts by one writer from Western Jin/Shu, two from Eastern Jin and one from Southern Qi * Tang dynasty (618–907), fascicles 7–9, 43 texts by 9 writers * Song dynasty (960–1279), fascicles 9–11, 51 texts by 12 writers (all from Northern Song) * Ming dynasty (1368–1644), fascicle 12, 18 texts by 12 writers Most of the texts are prose written in the "ancient style" which ''guwen'' (古文) refers to. The selection includes also three (or four) pieces written in ”parallel prose” (usually not regarded as ''guwen''), as well as three ''ci'' and four ''fu'' prose poems. ''Guwen Guanzhi'' was first and foremost produced as a practical study aid. The compilers avoided overly difficult texts and made their explanations as clear and concise as possible. In its own time, ''Guwen Guanzhi's'' main assets were its ideal size (in terms of number and length of the selected texts), the relative comprehensiveness of its selection, lack of an overly moralistic or tendentious approach, and good notes and comments. The same features have helped the anthology survive through centuries.〔Kallio, 82–84, 116.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guwen Guanzhi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
