The Complete Works of WANG Guowei, Revised
TANAKA Akio
I sometimes read The Complete Works of WANG Guowei, Letters, Shangwu Yinshuguan 1984. Astonishingly he read all the texts of vast Jiyun Dictionary in a day, that is Song dynasty's comprehensive some 50,000 Chinese character dictionary.
Moreover he inspected all the characters' descriptive correctness of it and commented the outcome to his life time teacher LUO Zhenyu.
WANG Guowei has been the life time teacher of my language study since I met his selected works, Guantangjilin at Kanda, Tokyo where I was roaming around, cherishing unfathomable hope to language.
