1. Classical Nature: The Encyclopaedia Britannica was born in the Scottish fortress of Edinburgh in 1768 and its 15th edition was released in 1974. Currently, in addition to the English version, there are over 10 other versions published in French, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Greek, Chinese, and Korean. The Chinese version has been distributed in over 200,000 sets. For over two hundred years, the Encyclopaedia Britannica has been renowned worldwide and has made an indelible contribution to the progress of human civilization.
2. Authority: Over 4,300 experts and scholars from 130 countries participated in writing the 15th edition of the original book, all of whom are authoritative figures in their academic fields. Over 100 Nobel laureates have contributed to the book. The translators and contributors of the Chinese version are all well-known figures in China's academic circles.
3. Knowledge: Compared to the latest version of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the concise edition has been revised article by article, with content enriched, updated information, and additional images, improving its functionality. It contains over 81,600 entries, with the word count increased to 43.5 million and over 15,300 images, making it one of the most comprehensive encyclopedias in China today.
4. Collectibility: Made with imported paper and international binding, the book is rich in content, exquisitely designed, and beautifully printed. It has received the National Book Cover Design Award of China and the Special Award of the 4th National Dictionary of China in 2001. A rare and elegant collectible.
5. Gift Quality: In the knowledge economy and technology-driven era, reviving China hinges on knowledge. It is better to impart knowledge than to give gifts. The Encyclopaedia Britannica (International Chinese Edition) and Concise Encyclopaedia Britannica differ in the following ways:
1. More convenient entry arrangement.
2. Comprehensive revisions.
3. Addition of new entries.
4. Comprehensive revisions and enrichments of Chinese entries.
5. Large number of additional images.
6. Improved usability.
Six Editorial Principles of the Encyclopaedia Britannica International Chinese Edition:
1. Authority – Every entry is written by authoritative authors.
2. Comprehensiveness – Every entry's text must fully summarize its complete meaning.
3. Conciseness – All texts must be brief and to the point.
4. Searchability – The book offers three search methods:
① The full text is arranged in alphabetical order of English entries for easy lookup.
② Chinese title and content index (arranged in Pinyin order).
③ Chinese title stroke index. As long as one knows how to use the Xinhua Dictionary, anyone can easily find the entry they need.
5. Clarity – There should be no ambiguity, vagueness, or ambiguity in any text.
6. Internationality – Among the 4,000+ contributors to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, one-third are American scholars, while the rest come from 130+ countries and regions worldwide.
Also known as The Encyclopaedia Britannica, it was founded in 1768 and is now published in the United States. It is a historically significant, continuously revised, authoritative, and academic comprehensive encyclopaedia, covering over 200 disciplines such as politics, economics, philosophy, literature, art, society, language, religion, ethnicity, music, theater, fine arts, mathematics, physics, chemistry, history, geography, geology, astronomy, biology, medicine, public health, environmental protection, meteorology, oceanography, journalism, publishing, television, broadcasting, advertising, military, computers, the internet, aviation, sports, finance, etc.
After close collaboration between China and the United States, hundreds of scholars and publishers worked tirelessly for four years to produce a new, richly informative, and large-scale comprehensive Encyclopaedia Britannica International Chinese Edition (20 volumes), which was launched in 1999 and was awarded the highest prize for Chinese dictionaries in October 2001—the Special Award.
At the reception of the US joint editorial committee of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out, "This encyclopaedia is very useful—it is a knowledge-enhancing publication. Now, in the construction of 'four modernizations,' we lack knowledge, and knowledge is insufficient. We should obtain knowledge from various aspects."
