Features: This book is a literature-based work, compiled by the author over the past decade from libraries in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, Russia, and the Netherlands, as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan. Many of the documents included are previously unseen and can supplement the gaps in the earlier published works by Mr. Luo Ronggang, such as Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Printed Books and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Documents, offering significant academic value.
1. The book includes "Twelve Types of Documents," consisting of printed books and official documents of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Regardless of whether a printed book is divided into volumes or parts, it is counted as "one type." Official documents are categorized as "types," with each "type" containing multiple documents of the same category.
2. At the beginning of each document in the book, there is an introductory note explaining its format, collection details, and any necessary clarifications for its use as historical material. Research and textual criticism of the documents are kept brief and concise.
3. Most of the documents included in the book are handwritten, with occasional cursive or marked annotations. For ease of use, some documents have their standard written form appended in the introductory notes.
