The compilation of Wenxuan by Xiao Tong was deeply influenced by the tradition of family scholarship.Its inclusion of Maoshi Xu and its direct reference in the preface of Wenxuan was not only due to its important position in Confucian classics,but also to its pioneer significance in the form of prefaces and its literary theo-retical significance.This suggests that the compilation of Wenxuan should have been influenced by Maoshi Xu.Moreover,the three prefaces included in Wenxuan were independently renowned and had a strong influ-ence on literature at the time,resembling an essay style.This demonstrates that Xiao Tong had a keen literar-y consciousness of independent compositions,and also reflected his unique selection ideology in choosing and compiling different literary genres dynamically.Wenxuan categorizes different preface genres and groups them by categories,embodying the characteristics of continuity,derivation of genres,and the selection of classic texts.This indicates that Xiao Tong had a concept of literary development and a consciousness of tracing the origin of literary genres.
