Cefu Yuangui (冊府元龜) extensively quotes texts from the “Seventeen Histories”. Due to the considerable temporal distance between its compilation and the original works, numerous variant texts appear in its citations of Records of the Grand Historian (史記), among which variant characters are particularly common. These variant texts include a significant number of narrow-sense variant characters, such as heterogeneous characters and graphic variants, as well as a smaller number of partial variant characters bearing characteristics of their respective periods. The phenomenon of variant characters in the Cefu Yuangui’s citations of Records of the Grand Historian reflects, to some extent, the differences in character usages between the Han and Song dynasties, while also revealing the characteristics of Chinese character usages in different eras and certain patterns in the evolution of Chinese characters.
