Research significance / 研究意义

More than 100,000 letters by historical figures form a documentary collection of exceptional scale. Together with the rare Jiu Wudai Shi《旧五代史》 and holdings in books and painting, they place Peng at #12 under this edition’s text-first method.

Public legacy and transfer history / 公共去向

The family memorial website states that the bulk of the collection was later taken into the Shanghai Museum and Shanghai Library. Publicly available evidence does not yet establish that this was a voluntary lifetime donation by Peng; institutional archives are needed to determine the exact transfer history.
