Features: The study of bibliographies has a long history! The prefaces to the Classic of Poetry and the Book of Documents mark its early beginnings. During the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang and Liu Xin were commissioned to compile books, creating the Seven Summaries and Separate Records, which brought the system to completion. Since then, generations of authors have contributed works of considerable value. Scholars have always turned to bibliographies as a gateway to knowledge, making them more important than other academic pursuits. — Yu Jiaxi
