Biaodian Gujin Tushu Jicheng
Introduction
The Greatest Encyclopedia of Chinese Civilization
The “Gujin Tushu Jicheng” is a vast encyclopedic work written in China during the reigns of the Qing Dynasty emperors Kangxi and Yongzheng. It extensively collects the illustrations and writings of different disciplines, such as: astronomy, philosophy, agriculture, education, folk medical treatments, and so on. The collected materials also locate in a wide spectrum of time — from ancient China to Qing Dynasty (until 1725). Hence, it is acclaimed as the “Imperial Encyclopaedia” of Qing Dynasty. Since its compilation is 4 times larger than “Encyclopædia Britannica,” it’s also well-known as the largest encyclopaedia in the world.
“Biaodian Gujin Tushu Jicheng” is the greatest encyclopedia of Chinese civilisation, and one of the most significant two classified books of ancient China as well. (The other one is Xiku Quanshu. Both of them are regarded as the two pearls of Chinese category books.)
