All Tang Poetry - Zento Shiitsu

This is a supplement to the Complete Tang Poems, compiled during the Edo period. It was edited by Ichikawa Senei (pen name Kansai), a Confucian scholar of the Toyama Domain and a Chinese poet. Since the days of cultural exchange between Japan and China, there have been many Chinese books imported to Japan and books reprinted in Japan, among which are Tang dynasty works that were lost in China and not included in the Complete Tang Poems. This book has searched through these works and has found 72 poems and 279 verses written by 126 people and anonymous poets, compiled into three volumes, upper, middle and lower, and published in 1804 (Bunka 1). 82 of the 126 poets were not included in the Complete Tang Poems. It is academically valuable, and was reprinted in China in 1823 (Daoguang 3), included in the Chifusokusai Sosho, and is also included in the Beijing edition of the Complete Tang Poems.

江戸時代に編集された『全唐詩』の補遺。編者は富山藩儒(はんじゅ)で漢詩人でもあった市河世寧(いちかわせねい)（号は寛斎(かんさい)）。日本には、日中文化交流の昔から、舶載された漢籍、および日本で翻刻した書物は数多く、なかには中国では散逸して、『全唐詩』にも未収の唐代作品が伝存している。本書はそれらを捜討して、126人と無名氏の作になる詩72首、句279を得て、上・中・下三巻に収め、1804年（文化1）に刊行された。126人中82人は『全唐詩』未収の詩人である。学術的に貴重で、中国でも1823年（道光3）に翻刻されて、『知不足斎叢書(ちふそくさいそうしょ)』に収められ、北京(ペキン)中華書局版『全唐詩』にも付載されている。
