Collected Works of Emperor Sejongxian

Thirty volumes. Written by Zong Yinzhen (1678-1735) of the Qing Dynasty. Yinzhen's surname is Aixinjueluo. The reign name is Yongzheng. At the beginning, he was named Prince Yong. At the end of Kangxi, he received the help of Long Keduo and Nian Gengyao to succeed to the throne. That is to say, he uses high-pressure methods to treat his brothers. Literary prisons were repeatedly set up to eliminate the kings' command over the armies of the Five Banners, in order to strengthen the autocratic monarchy. They implemented measures such as "returning native lands and returning home" to ethnic minorities in the southwest. They also suppressed the rebellion of the Qinghai Heshuo nobles and formally demarcated the border with Tsarist Russia. All contribute to the unity and stability of the country. His "Collected Works" consists of thirty volumes. It has twenty volumes of Chinese and ten volumes of poetry. The text is divided into thirteen styles. The first seven volumes of his poems are "Yongdi Collection", which were all written before the 61st year of Kangxi (1722); the last three volumes are "Siyitang Collection", which were written after he ascended the throne. During the thirteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, political affairs were quite complex, and almost every day he did not personally inquire about political affairs. Therefore, the number of imperial edicts and edicts issued by Emperor Yongzheng totaled 360 volumes. However, he wrote few poems, most of which were written before he ascended the throne, and his achievements were not high. There are two versions of "Sikuquanshu" and "Xuzaotang Sikuquanshu".
