Dongxuan Poetry Society, an active organization in the Dao guang period of Qing Dynasty in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, is an important association in the history of civil societies formed by ancient Chinese scholars. Founded by Wu Hengzhao and Wang Yuansun, the Society was located at Jingji Dongxuan, a well known place within Wang's Zhenqi Tang. During the ten years between the fourth year (1824) and the thirteenth year (1833) of the Daoguang period, the Society had over eighty members and held over one hundred gatherings and responsory activities. The work of the Poetry Society was edited by Wang Yuansun into 16 volumes of Qingzun Collections. Fei Danxu, a member and wellknown painter, painted A Picture of Dongxuan Poetry Society，with one original and one copy. Wang Zengwei, a nephew of Wang Yuansun's, edited a book entitled Dongxuan Poetry Society Portrait. With Qingzun Collections, A Picture of Dongxuan Poetry Society and other literature, it is possible to have a more comprehensive view of the Poetry Society and to correct previous misunderstandings and mistakes. The integrated study of poem collections and poetry societies is a positive effort toward further research on the poetry of Qing Dynasty.
