Jīnhuá Huáng xiānshēng wénjí 金華黃先生文集
The Collected Works of Mr. Huáng of Jīn-huá by 黃溍 (撰), with bibliographic notes by 張元濟 (撰札記)
About the work
The SBCK transmission of Huáng Jìn’s 黃溍 collected works in its fullest surviving form — 43 juǎn (3 juǎn of chūjí / qiánjí prepended to a 40-juǎn main collection), substantially more complete than the 10-juǎn WYG Wénxiàn jí KR4d0502. The SBCK base reproduces the Yuán-period Yuántǒng 元統 jiǎxū (1334) Pǔjiāng Wúshì 浦江吳氏 imprint, edited by Huáng Jìn’s son-in-law and pupils — i.e., earlier than the Hú Wéixìn first printing and predating the editorial cascade that mutilated the WYG block. The Republican-era SBCK editor Zhāng Yuánjì 張元濟 (1867–1959, Shāngwù yìnshūguǎn) contributed bibliographic zhájì 札記 (collation notes) documenting the textual situation. This is therefore the principal modern text of Huáng Jìn’s complete corpus and is preferred over the Sìkùguǎn WYG version for nearly all scholarly purposes.
Prefaces
The SBCK base preserves multiple YuánMíng prefaces: a Yuántǒng jiǎxū (1334) preface by Sòng Běn 宋本 dating the editorial intent; the Hòuxù by Sòng Lián 宋濂 acknowledging Huáng Jìn as his master; and the Republican zhájì by Zhāng Yuánjì identifying the SBCK base as the Pǔjiāng Wúshì 1334 imprint and recording textual variants vis-à-vis the WYG recension.
Abstract
The SBCK Jīnhuá Huáng xiānshēng wénjí is the more authoritative text of Huáng Jìn’s collected works — preserved in a Yuán-period imprint (Pǔjiāng Wúshì 1334) that predates all the editorial layers documented in the Sìkù tíyào for the WYG Wénxiàn jí. Comparison between the two recensions is the standard exercise for textual studies of late-Yuán prose. Zhāng Yuánjì’s zhájì are the principal critical apparatus.
Huáng Jìn (1277–1357), one of the four Jīnhuá xiānshēng of the late Yuán, served sequentially in the Tàichángsì, Hànlínyuàn, and Guóshǐyuàn, ending his career as Hànlín xuéshì chéngzhǐ. His teaching of Sòng Lián 宋濂 and Wáng Wěi 王禕 was the institutional bridge by which the late-Yuán Pǔjiāng / Jīnhuá literary tradition entered the early-Míng administration.

Other points of interest
The same person and substantially overlapping corpus is catalogued separately under WYG as 文獻集 KR4d0502; the SBCK version preserves a much fuller text.
