Features: The Yongle Dadian collects over 7,000 important ancient classics, ranging from the pre-Qin period to the early Ming Dynasty. It was truly described at the time as "encompassing the vastness of the universe and unifying the differences of past and present." Many lost and rare texts from the Song and Yuan dynasties before have been preserved and passed down through it. The collected content includes classics of Confucianism, history, philosophy, literature, Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, drama, folk tales, crafts, agriculture, medicine, divination, and literature, covering everything. The books compiled remain unchanged in every word, with entire volumes, chapters, or sections being separately organized, further enhancing the documentary value of the preserved materials. The overall structure of the book follows the principle of "using rhymes to organize characters and using characters to link matters," making it very convenient to search.
