Authenticity of “Wen Zhang Yuan Qi”

Compilers of “Complete Collection in Four Treasuries” claimed that the four reasons for the falsehood of “Wen Zhang Yuan Qi” were all insufficient or inadequate;therefore some derivative reasons from them by scholars of succeeding generations were naturally unfounded.The Shan-Tang edition of “Wen Zhang Yuan Qi ” was supplemented by Zhang Ji who made a few remarks upon “Wen Zhang Yuan Qi” to which he presumably added thirty-four kinds of literary styles abstracted from the Theory about the Origin of the Matter presented during the Qi-Liang dynasties.Unless more convincing evidence can be added, the major part of “Wen Zhang Yuan Qi ” could still be considered to be completed by Ren Fang.
