Résumé anglais Anthologies in Ancient and Medieval China : from Genesis to Diversification The history of the anthology in China goes back to the dawn of poetry. The first anthology, the Shijing, offered through its complex exegetical procedure a comprehensive representation of humanity that was rather removed from literary considerations. Every succeeding anthology had to position itself in one way or other with respect to the Shijing. By the 6th century, the return to literary criteria had come full cycle, as reflected by the Chuci, the Shipin, the Wenxuan and the Yutai xinyong. From then on, the history of anthologies is rich and diverse, but the five works studied here form a coherent set containing all the elements that were to shape future anthologies.
