Features: This book includes two ancient classics, "The Book of Address Forms" and "The Records of Kinship." The "The Book of Address Forms" first explains familial relationships, then lists official titles, followed by officials' wives, servants, soldiers, laborers, merchants, craftsmen, entertainers, gamblers, and various professions. Approximately each volume covers one category, which is further divided into several subcategories. Within the thirty-two volumes, it contains over 5,000 different address forms. As a whole, the book is rich in content and well-quoted, making it a valuable reference. As the name suggests, "The Records of Kinship" is limited to explaining terms for family relationships. Moreover, it excludes terms deemed "incestuous or socially unacceptable," such as calling a father "older brother" and a wife "younger sister," as well as common terms like "aunt" for a paternal aunt, "uncle" for a paternal uncle, and "aunt-father" for the husband of a maternal aunt, etc. Combining the two books is believed to provide readers with convenience.
