Abstract

The existing Qunshu Zhiyao in Japan can be divided into the manuscripts of the Heian Period, the manuscripts of Kanazawa Bunko, Suruganokuni version in the second year of Genna era, and Tenmei version in the 7th year of Tenmei period (1787). Among them, the manuscripts of the Heian Period do not include Wuyuechunqiu, while the Suruganokuni version and the Tenmei version are based on the manuscripts of Kanazawa Bunko, so this article takes the manuscripts of Kanazawa Bunko as the research basis. Qunshu Zhiyao was spread to Japan in the Tang dynasty and spread in the Japan, and although the writing era of the manuscripts of Kanazawa Bunko roughly corresponds to the Yuan dynasty, it retains many folk writing structures since the Tang dynasty, it is the best of first-hand material for folk writing philology study.
