Collected Thousand-Commentator Annotated Poems of Dù, Acting Director of Civil Works by 杜甫 (撰), 高楚芳 (編)
About the work
Jí qiānjiā zhù Dù gōngbù shī jí 集千家註杜工部詩集 in 20 juǎn — also widely transmitted as Fēnmén jízhù Dù gōngbù shī 分門集註杜工部詩 (the SBCK title) — is the principal Yuán-period anthologized commentary edition of Dù Fǔ’s poetry, compiled and printed by Gāo Chǔfāng 高楚芳 in the late 13th or early 14th century. It is the consummation of the Sòng qiānjiā zhù 千家註 (“thousand-commentator”) tradition, drawing on Wáng Zhū’s foundational text, Zhào Cìgōng’s commentary, the HuángXī / HuángHè Bǔzhù (= KR4c0017) of 1216, the Cài Mèngbì Cǎotáng shī jiān, and on dozens of other Sòng commentators. The arrangement is by genre (the fēnmén 分門 of the SBCK title, fēnlèi in the WYG): gǔshī, gēxíng, lǜshī, juéjù, záshī, etc.
The opening Jízhù Dù gōngbù shī xìngshì 集註杜工部詩姓氏 (“List of Annotators”) in the SBCK file lists over 150 named commentators, giving for each the zì, jíguàn 籍貫 (native place), and rank — a useful index of the Sòng Dùshī xué 杜詩學 (“Dù Fǔ scholarship”) industry, including (alphabetically by surname) Wáng Zhū 王洙, Wáng Ānshí 王安石, Wáng Yǔchèng 王禹偁, Wáng Bīn 王彬, Wáng Shípéng 王十朋, Sū Shì 蘇軾, Zhào Cìgōng 趙次公, Lǔ Yìn 魯訔, Ōuyáng Xiū 歐陽脩, Hán Yù 韓愈 韓愈, Yuán Zhěn 元稹, Sòng Qí 宋祁, Huáng Tíngjiān 黃庭堅, Hú Zǐ 胡仔, Lǐ Qiú 李俅, and many others.
Tiyao
No tíyào in source. The KR4c0018 file in this corpus is digitized from the SBCK base, which preserves the Xìngshì index of commentators and the fēnmén table of contents but not the Sìkù tíyào. The Sìkù WYG 20-juǎn tíyào (V1069.2) survives in the Zinbun digital Sìkù tíyào; it traces the Yuán qiānjiā anthologies and credits Gāo Chǔfāng as their editorial consolidator.
Abstract
The Sòng “qiānjiā zhù” lineage — beginning informally in the late 11th century with Wáng Zhū, formalized as a jízhù genre in the early 12th, and reaching its peak in the late 12th – early 13th century with the HuángXī / HuángHè Bǔzhù — was reorganized into the present fēnmén (genre-arranged) 20-juǎn form by Gāo Chǔfāng of Línjiāng 臨江 Xīnyú 新喻 (modern Xīnyú in central Jiāngxī) at the close of the 13th century. The Yuán print circulated widely; the SBCK reproduction descends from a Yuán family-print line, and the WYG version reflects the same recension. Stephen Owen (in his 2016 translation of Dù Fǔ) treats the Qiānjiā zhù tradition as the principal pre-Qīng commentary stratum.
The YuánMíng diffusion of the Qiānjiā zhù — printed in cheap commercial editions and in higher-quality scholarly versions — made it the standard DùFǔ commentary in Yuán and Míng kējǔ preparation. It was definitively superseded only with Qiū Zhàoáo’s 仇兆鰲 Dù shī xiángzhù KR4c0020 in 1693, which absorbs the Qiānjiā tradition while adding substantial Qīng kǎojù.

Other points of interest
The Xìngshì (List of Annotators) is one of the most useful pre-modern bibliographic indexes of Sòng-period DùFǔ scholarship, listing not only well-known names (Wáng Zhū, Zhào Cìgōng, Lǔ Yìn) but also a long tail of obscure local commentators whose individual works do not survive but whose annotations are preserved here in fragmentary form — making this collection a key witness for the breadth of the Sòng Dùshī xué enterprise.
