=Quantangshi=

**Quantangshi** (Traditional Chinese: 全唐詩; Simplified Chinese: 全唐诗; pinyin: Quán Táng Shī) The //Quantangshi// is a collection of Tang poetry. It is the major source of surviving Tang Dynasty poems, and one of the largest and most important, historically and otherwise, collections of poetry ever made. In English, //Quantangshi// means //Collected Tang Poems//.

History
The //Quantangshi// dates from 1705 CE., although the poems in it date from the time of the Tang Dynasty (approximately 618 to 907). 1705 was the forty-fourth year of the Qing Dynasty emperor Kangxi. This was before he ordered the compilation of the famous //Kangxi Dictionary//.
