The essay focuses on elements of textual history, the possible incentives behind the compilation of the <i>Z</i><i>ǔtáng jí</i>, and Jìngxiū’s perception of the text. Most importantly, this study investigates in detail two idiomatic expressions used by Jìngxiū (i.e., “[cases of] s<i>hu</i><i>ǐ</i><i>hè</i> easily arise”; “[the characters] <i>wū</i> and <i>m</i><i>ǎ</i> are difficult to distinguish”), showing their significance for understanding the preface.
