, the real name is Yun, and the word Xiaolan. Born in June of the second year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1724- 1805), he died in February of the tenth year of Jiaqing, at the age of 82, from xian county, Hebei. Yuewei Caotang is the former residence of Ji Xiaolan. Born in a scholarly family, his father was a famous textual research scholar. He was an official in Beijing and put Yao An as the magistrate. Ji Xiaolan started studying at the age of 4, and went to Beijing with his father at the age of 12. 24-year-old, after having obtained the provincial examination, should go to Tianfu. Because of the loss of his mother, he stayed at home behind closed doors, specializing in textual research, and was quite accomplished. At the age of 3 1, he entered imperial academy as Jishi Shu, and was subsequently awarded as an editor. In the thirty-third year of Qianlong, he was awarded the magistrate of Duyun, Guizhou. But the emperor thought that Ji Yun was too knowledgeable to be an official in other provinces, so he left him with him. In April of the same year, he was promoted to bachelor. In June, because my in-laws became officials, the treasury lost money and was robbed of property. He secretly tipped off the news and was sent to Xinjiang to assist in military affairs after the incident. Three years later, he was recalled, awarded editor-in-chief, and was appointed as the editor-in-chief of Sikuquanshu. After the dismal operation of 13, the compilation of Sikuquanshu came to an end. During this period, Ji Xiaolan was promoted from a bachelor's degree in attendants to a bachelor's degree in cabinet, and was once awarded the Minister of War. Sikuquanshu came to an end in the same year and moved to the Book of Rites. After the age of 60, he took charge of Duchayuan five times and served as the minister of rites three times. In the eighth year of Jiaqing, Ji Xiaolan celebrated his eightieth birthday. The emperor sent a congratulatory message and gave him a generous gift. He paid homage to the Grand Master, added the title of Prince Shaobao, and managed imperial academy affairs. His official residence was the first grade.

Ji Xiaolan did two things most in his life: compiling the history of books and being an examiner. The history of compiling books, in addition to the editor-in-chief of Sikuquanshu, has also been an editor of Wuying Hall and Santong Hall, which can be called temporary works; As an examiner, I served as an examiner for provincial examinations twice and for civil and military examinations six times. So I have many students and selected many talents for the country. After Ji Xiaolan died, he was buried in his hometown. The imperial court sent personnel to the cave to offer sacrifices, and Emperor Jiaqing wrote an inscription for it, which was a great honor for people and ministers.

Ji Xiaolan's greatest contribution in his life is that he always writes Sikuquanshu and Yuewei Caotang Notes.
