Yi-Xuan Hong, who styled himself as Jing-Xian and Yun-Xuan, was born in Linhai, Zhejiang. Yuan Ruan once complimented him and his brother Zheng-Xuan Hong, "they are the only two scholars in Taizhou". Yi-Xuan Hong was a man of profound erudition and abundant literary works; he had published more than twenty types of books including "Questions and Answers for Rituals and the Palace" ("Li Jing Gong Shi Da Wen") and "Confucius Records of Three Regimes" ("Kong Zi San Chao Ji"). Among all his works, Reading Series ("Du Shu Cong Lu") was written when he reached mature wisdom after the age of 50. The book composed of 24 chapters and more than 1600 articles, carefully verified various expositions, comprised encompassing contents, and perfectly presents the essence of his academic accomplishments. As recorded in Tsi-Ming Li's "Yueman Hall Reading Diary" ("Yue Man Tang Du Shu Ji"), the book is considered a treasure which can be compared with "Interpretation of Classics" ("Jing Yi Shu Wen") and "Reading Notes" ("Du Shu Za Zhi") of Nian-Sun Wang and his son Yin-Zhi Wang, "Notes of Classics" ("Jing Yi Za Ji") of Yong-Zhi Zhang, "Note of Glance" ("Pie Ji") and Textual Research of Exemplars (Ren Biao Kao) of Yu-Sheng Liang, and "Comments on Different Interpretations of the Five Classics" ("Wu Jing Yi Yi Shu Zheng") of Sho-Qi Chen. Among the abundant literary works of Yi-Xuan Hong, the study focuses on the "Reading Series" ("Du Shu Cong Lu") and supports it with relevant data such as his writing and poetry anthologies and his remaining works, in order to carefully examine the writing motivation, style and editorial method of the "Reading Series" ("Du Shu Cong Lu"), expecting to contribute to the future textual researches of the Qing dynasty.
