This essay re-explores the different editions of Yin Fan’s 殷璠 Heyue yingling ji 河岳英靈集 and the history of their circulation. Through a comparative analysis of the earlier editions, it will then explore the thinking behind Yin Fan’s compilation. There are four main points in this discussion: 1. Extant documents show that by the Song dynasty there were at least three two-volume editions in circulation. 2. Of these Song editions, the text of Ji Yougong’s 計有功 Tangshi jishi 唐詩紀事 differs markedly from the Song edition collected by Mo Youzhi 莫友芝. A comparative analysis reveals partial clues as to Yin Fan’s system of criticism and motivations for compiling the collection. 3. With regard to his official post, in disagreement with previous scholars, this essay points out that Yin Fan very likely served as an educational official in an area military command 4. Yin Fan compiled this anthology not just to express his sorrow over his unsuccessful official career: an analysis of his essays and critical commentary in this anthology reveal that Yin Fan employed an objective, relatively impersonal approach towards preserving poetry history. |
