According to the different subjects of the investigations, the data in this volume are divided into four parts: surveys and statistics by Westerners, surveys and statistics by China, surveys and statistics by Japan, and surveys and statistics by the Reorganized Government of China and the Wang Jingwei Regime. Some of the data are surveys and statistics by Westerners. The second part is surveys and statistics by China. The third and fourth parts are surveys and statistics by Japan, as well as the Reorganized Government of China and the Wang Jingwei Regime. The archival materials collected in this book, except for the title and time which are uniformly used in the era of atrocities, maintain the original lunar calendar and era names in the main text. To avoid repetition and overlap with the content of other volumes, special attention was paid to the distinction between detail and brevity in the arrangement and selection.
