Publishing Date: Not available
Features: This book is one of the "Collected Notes on Qing Dynasty Historical Materials" series. It was written by Liu Xianting in the early Qing Dynasty and consists of five volumes. The book does not categorize its content; it is a casual record, covering topics such as "ritual music, astronomy, medicine, mathematics, law, agriculture, fire warfare, and artifact design," characterized by its "heterogeneity." The records are detailed and trustworthy. However, the book's insights are precise, and its descriptions are meticulous—thus, it should not be dismissed as merely "heterogeneous."
