It was established in November 1872 (the 10th month of the 11th year of Emperor Tongzhi), and stopped in January 1875 (the 12th month of the 13th year of Emperor Tongzhi), with 28 columns. It was written in Classical Chinese, and mainly in the traditional poetry and literary works, without any punctuation, in vertical type and binding in thread. It was the earliest literature periodicals. As the rare book in the periodicals, its literature value is no less than the ancient rare book.So far, there are not many monographic studies on , but it played the connection and carrying forward role in the development of literature periodicals in the end of Qing Dynasty, with the combination of my working experience in Ancient Book Division in Library, I begin the dedicated and systematic study on .The Chapter One of this paper discusses the establishing background of in the terms of the preparation of modern press development, and the strict basis of Literati in the South of the Yangtze River and the establishment of Shen Newspaper Office and the founding of , and explores the characteristic of"new wine in old bottles"of . Another characteristic of is the variety and complexity of the published content source, which included not only the works of the current traditional literati but also the excerpt of their friends, country squires or predecessors by these literati. Therefore, a comparative part of the contents of was not contributed by the writers themselves, and even some writers have been dead. This chapter analyzes the life of Jiang Qizhang, the first editor of Shen Newspaper Office, and his ideas in running of , and analyzes the issuing of on the basis of investigation on the construction of the early distribution network (1872 to 1875) of .The Chapter Two of this paper analyzes the poetic prose in . This chapter discusses the advises by the traditional literati on the national welfare and the people's livelihood, the origin and influence of Research on the Origin and Development of Tibet. Taking the white peach flower poets society as the example, analyzes the singing and versifying by the literati at that time, and gives a sketch of the mood of the"Scholar Shi did not meet the wise emperor"in the poets. Meanwhile, this paper studies the literature values from the aspects of preface , biographic materials, selection of poetry, and the history of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.The Chapter Three mainly discusses the note and novel in , developing in the aspects of discrimination of the anecdotal biographies of many empresses, Xiangxue Caotang and Four Plum Flower Pavilion, Edo hanjōk, and informal essays by the literati. This chapter comprises the two hot topics of whorehouse & pleasure boat, and loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness, and explores the psychology of the wits of"Ten Miles of Luxury"after the port opening of Shanghai. There was much female poetry in Yuanying Suoji, starting the tendency and in worth of exploration. is the new try on . This paper describes the textual criticism by the literature commodity, and analyzes the significance of it, the first translation novel, on the modern translated literature.The Chapter Four and Five verifies the writer of. When the traditional literati contributed their works in which, they always signed the courtesy name. The process for the classification of these literati is difficult. The incomplete of literature brings great difficulties on the verification. It has to distinct the writer with many courtesy names or many writers with the same courtesy name. Finally, I have verified more than 90 writers, in the classification of famous person & scholar, main writers, ordinary writers, and the writers on the topic of loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness, dead writers, and female writers. Though some famous writers of these traditional literati have been studied, there is no study on most of the writers, even the biographic materials of these writers are rare. Therefore, one important point of this paper writes the brief biography based on the verified basic information of the writers, with the combination of the found epitaph, prefaces and the inscription, comments as well as the edition information.Through the arrangement of Shen Newspaper and related anthology, I have found that mainly includes the traditional literati from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, who have various relationships among each other, such as genetic relationship, geographic relationship, and personal relationship, constructing the strong network of literati, which settled the strong literature basis for the development of Ying Yuan Suo Ji and which was relied by Shen Newspaper Office. Therefore, under the conditions of narrow distribution, with great overstocking but no benefit, Shen Newspaper Office had to continue to the publishing for two years, which was the important reason for the distributed 28 columns.The Chapter Six of this paper analyzes the influence of , and based on the rise and decline of , this chapter explores the declining reasons of the comprehensive literature periodicals, mainly with the traditional poetry on the development of modern literature periodicals.To sum up, I hope to study comprehensively from the establishment background, writers and works, influence as well as the declining. In addition,there are three appendixes after the paper.
