Abstract
This entry is almost certainly a second digitization of the same text as KR4k0215, or a scan of a closely related exemplar. The title, anonymous authorship, line count (37,634 — identical to KR4k0215), and content all match. The Kanripo corpus catalog records both as separate items under slightly different reference keys (KR4k0215: San_chun_meng; KR4k0219: San1_chun1_meng4), which may reflect two different source copies or simply a cataloging duplicate.
For full description of the work — its preface lamenting the fall of the Ming, its cast of historical and fictional characters in the Cháozhōu 潮州 campaigns, and its late Qīng Han-nationalist framing — see the entry for KR4k0215.
A collation of the two Kanripo copies to determine whether they represent the same or variant texts is recommended before any critical use of the Kanripo digitization.
