Features: This book is a chronicle-style biographical record of Dai Mingshi, a renowned Qing Dynasty scholar. The author is Dai Tingjie, a researcher at the Sinology Department of the Collège de France in France. He spent ten years working on this project, visiting numerous libraries, archives, and research rooms across various parts of China, as well as the hometown of the subject, to investigate, collect, transcribe, and duplicate relevant ancient texts.
