A large number of manuscripts and fragments of the "Wen Xuan" have survived to modern times. Many were discovered among the Dunhuang manuscripts and are held in various museums around the world, particularly at the British Library and Bibliothèque Nationale de France, as well as in Japan, where the "Wen Xuan" was well known from at least the 7th century. One Japanese manuscript, held in the Eisei Bunko Museum, is a rare fragment of a "Wen Xuan" commentary that may predate Li Shan's authoritative commentary from the mid-6th century.
