The Siku Quanshu is the largest official compilation of ancient Chinese literature and also the largest series of books in ancient China. It includes over 3,460 ancient texts, more than 79,300 volumes, over 36,000 copies, over 2.4 million pages, and nearly 1 billion characters, divided into four sections: Classics, History, Philosophy, and Literature. The Siku Quanshu compiles the essence of China's classical literature throughout history, representing a monumental cultural project in Chinese history and even in the history of the century. The scale of its collection, the breadth of its coverage, and the duration of its compilation are unparalleled, truly a great wall of Chinese culture. However, this monumental work is vast and cumbersome, making it inconvenient for many readers to access and preserve. Adding to this, its high price makes it beyond the reach of ordinary people. Therefore, we have carefully selected outstanding illustrated works from the vast collection of The Siku Quanshu and compiled them into The Illustrated Catalogue of the Siku Quanshu to delight our readers. The Illustrated Catalogue of the Siku Quanshu features 40 representative works, including 10 from the Classics section, 14 from the History section, 15 from the Philosophy section, and 1 from the Literature section, totaling 17 categories.
