Publishing Date: Not available
Features: This book is one of the "Collected Notes on Qing Dynasty Historical Materials," written by Liu Xianting (1648–1695) in the early Qing Dynasty. It consists of five volumes and 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 credible. However, the book's insights are precise, and its descriptions are meticulous, so it should not be dismissed as merely "heterogeneous."
