Ershi'er zi 二十二子 "Twenty-two Masters" is a series of collectanea (congshu 叢書) compiled by the Zhejiang Publishing House 浙江書局 during the late Qing period 清 (1644-1911). It includes 22 books of early "Masters and Philosophers" (zi 子) with a total length of 349 juan.
The texts are based on qualitatively high-ranking Ming-period 明 (1368-1644) prints or text-critical editions from the early and high Qing period. To many books, additional critical material is added. The series was in 1985 by the Shanghai Guji Press 上海古籍出版社 reprinted in facsimile form.
There are several other collections bearing the same or a similar title as the Ershi'er zi, yet the books included are presented in a different order and the texts of lower quality. Such imitations are the Zishu ershi'er zhong 子書二十二種, also published by the Zhejiang Printing House, and Wang Xiangtang's 王纕堂 Nianerzi quanshu 廿二子全書 that includes some titles not found in the "original" Ershi'er zi.
