This book is a supplement to the poetry of Lianxi studies based on the existing literature on Lianxi studies in ancient and modern times. Specifically, five types of documents were collected and searched carefully. First, there are existing Lianxi studies documents in the academic circle; second, local chronicles of various relevant places over the past dynasties; third, separate collections and general collections of ancient Confucian scholars. Among these three categories, the first choice is the printed edition of the ancients' separate collections, the second is the printed edition of the ancient comprehensive collections, series of books, and similar books, the third is the photocopied version, and finally the selection of the comprehensive collections, series, and similar books compiled by contemporary people. To keep the writing concise, each manuscript is abbreviated and noted at the end of the chapter. The fourth category is collections of poems and essays by Korean gentlemen, all of which come from two large series of books that can be called the Four Complete Books of Korea - "Korean Anthology Series" and "Korean Anthology Series". The fifth category is that collections of poems and essays by Japanese gentlemen are mostly from Japan's large-scale Confucian series - "Xuxu Congshu Leicong", "Xuxu Congshu Leicong", "Japan Confucianism Series" and special collections of Japanese scholars. There are at least 110 kinds of documents mentioned above.

Historical materials about Zhou Dunyi have appeared intermittently since the Song Dynasty, with Lianxi Chronicles and Zhou Dunyi Collection as the main forms. There are about 60 kinds. These documents, based on Zhou Dunyi's own writings, also collect a large number of relevant historical materials about Zhou Dunyi, which are an important basis for in-depth research on Zhou Dunyi. But there are still a lot of documents that are missing from the ancient literature. This book is based on the collection of more than 100 kinds of local chronicles of provinces, cities and counties at all levels in Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangzhou, Jiangsu and Sichuan, personal collections from the Song to the Qing Dynasty, Taoist canon and other large series of books, and collects the historical materials of Zhou Dunyi scattered among them, and compiles them after textual research and collation. It is hoped that it can provide the necessary documents for Zhou Dunyi's research, and serve as a starting point to promote the study of Lianxi Studies and Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming Dynasties. The theme of this book is the poems, chants, praises and other related historical materials of Zhou Dunyi and his descendants, as well as his personal ideological writings.
