Zhuzi quanshu 朱子全書

Jan 10, 2014 © Ulrich Theobald

(Yuzuan) Zhuzi quanshu (御纂)朱子全書, full title Yuanjianzhai yuzuan Zhuzi quanshu 淵鑒齋御纂朱子全書, was compiled in 1713 on imperial order under the supervision of Li Guangdi 李光地 (1642-1718) and Xiong Cilü 熊賜履 (1637-1709), with a length of 66 juan. The aim of the compilation was to provide a consistent overview of the teachings of the Song-period 宋 (960-1279) Neo-Confucian master Zhu Xi 朱熹 (1130-1200).

The collection Zhuzi yulei 朱子語類 classified teachings of Zhu Xi, but it was compiled by different persons, and was thus not consistently arranged according to themes, and was therefore of a very heterogeneous character and included many contradictions. The text of the Zhuzi quanshu is divided into 19 chapters that cover all important Confucian Classics or disciplines (like rites and music) and the most important Neo-Confucian terms and concepts. The text is based on the Zhuzi yulei and Zhu Xi's collected writings Zhu Wengong wenji 朱文公文集 (Hui'an ji 晦庵集).

The Zhuzi quanshu was printed by the Imperial Printing Shop in 1713 and then again in 1746 in a downscaled version by the Guxiang Hall 古香齋. It is also included in the imperial series Siku quanshu 四庫全書.
