Features: The author has read thousands of medical abstracts written by native English speakers and conducted extensive analysis on their format, structure, grammatical features, common sentence patterns, and vocabulary. Over 10,000 example sentences were extracted for study, and precise statistics and summaries were made on certain grammatical phenomena. This book is an annual chronology compilation of pre-Qin philosophers published before 1949, including 14 chronologies of Confucius, 15 chronologies of Mencius, and more than 30 chronologies of other pre-Qin philosophers such as Mozi, Zhuangzi, Xunzi, and Han Feizi. Among these chronologies, only Confucius's birth and death years are clearly recorded in history, while the birth and death years of the others are mostly derived from research and deduction. The research is sometimes rigorous and sometimes superficial, leading to different conclusions.
