Features: The full text is divided into nine volumes, including the Book of Changes, the Book of Documents, the Book of Songs, the Book of Rites, the Zuo Zhuan, the Guliang Zhuan, the Analects, the Classic of Filial Piety, and the Erya. Each volume begins with a general introduction and is further divided into several subcategories. Under each subcategory, the corresponding volumes are listed, and a preface is written for each volume. The preface includes naming conventions, chronological divisions, and research progress. The relevant research materials are extensively covered, meticulously analyzed, and finely detailed, achieving a balance between macro and micro research. Especially in the presentation of research progress, the content is rich, the structure is clear, and the evaluations are appropriate, making it easy to see the strengths and weaknesses of previous scholars. It can be said that each preface is a concise history of research. Since the project was officially launched in early 1997, it has been eight years. Eight years of "war," nearly three thousand days and nights, the team members have worked day and night,. In this restless era, promotions and positions require "performance," yet we have devoted ourselves to a "great cause" with no foreseeable end.
