Jingyi Shuwen

Title of a 32-volume Qing dynasty classic text written by Wang Yinzhi. The work combines linguistics, collation, and Confucian studies to research errors, missing text, and phonetic loans in various classics. It is titled "Shuwen" (narrating what was heard) because the author first cites his father, Wang Niansun, before adding his own analysis.
