Quan Zuwang completes the Song-Yuan xue'an

Qianlong era, Qing

Quan Zuwang, courtesy name Shaoyi, from Yin county, held the lecturing seat at the Jishan and Duanxi academies. Huang Zongxi had only begun a draft of the Song-Yuan xue'an; Quan drew on many books to supplement it and brought it to one hundred scrolls. He also collated the Shuijing zhu seven times, and his writings form the Jieqiting wenji in fifty scrolls.
