[Lei Zheng Zhu Shi Qian Shi Xiao Er Fang Jue and its diverse versions].

Lei Zheng Zhu Shi Qian Shi Xiao Er Fang Jue, written by Xiong Zongli in the Ming Dynasty, is an important annotation of Xiao Er Yao Zheng Zhi Jue. It was twice put into the Catalog of National Rare Books of China. It remained with ten versions currently based on historical records and some book catalogs. This paper used a fieldwork and textural research method on the diverse versions of this book in terms of re-editions, version characters and the content. It was found that new versions and new collections were discovered, and some suspected versions with the names of others and versions mixed with others were also unearthed, resulting in insufficient version information. This paper clarified the version source and divided it into two version systems. One is the copy carved into something as the first published book, including the publication at the beginning period of the Ming dynasty and the reprint of the Cun De Tang by Chen Shihuang and the handwritten copy in Japanese in the third year of the Zheng De period in the Ming dynasty. Another is the copy system carved into something by Wu Mianxue, involving the version of Wu Mianxue in Xin An School in the period of Wan Li in the Ming Dynasty, the one in Dou Zhen Da Quan, the one in Yi Sheng Tang in the Ming Dynasty, the handwritten copy in the period of Wan Li in the Ming Dynasty and the carving copy by Qian Long Xuan in the 13 years of Bao Li in Japan.
