The task of unifying the country was not completed until his younger brother Zhao Guangyi became emperor. After Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he changed his name to Zhao Guangling and was known as Song Taizong in history. After Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty unified the country, he determined to promote traditional culture and ordered the compilation of various ancient books.

He ordered the compilation of three major categories of books: "Taiping Guangji", "Taiping Yulan" and "Wenyuan Yinghua", thus making important contributions to the preservation and promotion of our country's cultural heritage.

Most of the ancient books cited in "Taiping Yulan" are no longer available. Therefore, it can be said that it is the collection of cultural knowledge before the Northern Song Dynasty. This book was originally called "Taiping Bianlan". After it was compiled, Emperor Dazong of the Song Dynasty attached great importance to it and stipulated that he would read three volumes every day and finish them all after one year. Therefore, it was renamed "Taiping Yulan", which means a book that the emperor personally read during the Taiping and Xingguo years.

Taizong of the Song Dynasty was very busy with political affairs. He often failed to read this book as planned because he was dealing with other things, so he read it in his free days. The courtiers were afraid that if he read for too long, his health would be affected. Taizong said: "As long as I open the book and read it, I will gain something, so I don't feel tired."
