On August 19, the National Publication Foundation Planning and Administration Office published the evaluation results for 2026 National Publication Foundation‑supported projects. Continued Compilation of Guan‑Xue Document Collections (21 titles), published by Northwest University Press, was selected for the funding list. It is the only ancient‑text collation project from Shaanxi Province on this year’s list.
Under the chief editorship of professor Liu Xuezhi, senior professor of liberal arts at Shaanxi Normal University, council member and advisor of the International Confucian Association, and honorary president of the Shaanxi Confucius Research Association, this series contains 21 works with over 12 million Chinese characters. Centering on Guan‑Xue literature produced in the Guanzhong area during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the book series sorts out academic origins and conducts rescue‑oriented textual collation for collected writings of another 28 Guan‑Xue scholars. Based on Guan‑Xue Library: Document Compilation Series, which has collated works of 29 Guan‑Xue scholars ranging from Zhang Zai to Niu Zhaolian, this collection supplements Guan‑Xue documents covering the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods, so as to better display the full picture of surviving historical Guan‑Xue documents.
