Twenty-four Records of Qianlong was the standard version at that time, but there was still a gap between the versions of No Shadow Hall. The Modern Commercial Press searched for rare copies of Twenty-four History for many times and compiled Twenty-four History, which was the best version of Twenty-four History at that time.

Gu believed that Twenty-two Stories should be published together with Tang Shu under the name of Twenty-two Stories, but it was not officially recognized. Twenty-two novels, which appeared in the Qianlong period, were named "History of the Ming Dynasty" and were reviewed by honest officials. At this time, with the approval of Qianlong, this old Tang book was finally "normalized" and was called "Twenty-three History". During the Qianlong period, Siku Library was opened and the complete works of Siku Library were consulted.
