The ten-volume Chinese translation of The Complete Works of Aristotle is a key research project of the Seventh Five-Year Plan of the National Foundation for Philosophy and Social Sciences. In 1985, the original project was named The Complete Works of Aristotle translated into Chinese from ancient Greek. The project was compiled by Professor Miao Litian, and the participants in the translation work included Xu Cai, Yu Jiyuan, Qin Dianhua, Yan Yi, Cui Yanqiang and Li Qiuling. After ten years of cold and heat, the whole book was submitted to Renmin University of China Press in January 1997.
