This book was obviously not the Song Dynasty edition of "Huajian Ji" reprinted by Lu Yuanda, but when Yang Jing opened it, he couldn't help but be excited.
This book is also a Ming edition, but it is obviously not an official edition. Instead, it should be a private edition or a commercial edition. Moreover, it is obviously a Ming edition that is a reprint of a Northern Song edition. This can be clearly distinguished from the structural layout of the book.
The seventh volume of Huajian Ji mainly includes the poems of two masters, Gu Ying and Sun Guangxian. There are a total of fifty poems, of which Gu Ying has thirty-seven poems and Sun Guangxian has thirteen poems.
The first poem at the beginning is one of Gu Ying's "Huanxisha".

It is rare to use the Slender Gold style to make engraved books, even in the entire Song Dynasty. The Slender Gold style engraved books that have been handed down to the present are mostly in museums or hands of big collectors. It is extremely rare to be able to see a Slender Gold style Ming Dynasty engraved book that is a reprint of the Song Dynasty edition.
After flipping through a few pages, Yang Jing was already certain that this book was indeed a Ming Dynasty edition. However, when he flipped through a few more pages, his expression changed slightly involuntarily...
