Features: This series of books is written in various specialized volumes, including Song edition, Yuan edition, Ming edition, Qing engraved edition, ethnic minority ancient books, shop-engraved edition, family-engraved edition, movable type edition, illustrated edition, and new literature edition, etc. It strives to reflect the new style and level of our country's edition research. Of course, some people worry that this format might lack uniformity and lead to repetition. The editors believe there is no need to worry. The format is generally unified, but it is neither possible nor necessary to be as orderly as a textbook with clear chapters. The editors recall what they read when they first entered the field of ancient books edition. There were Zhang Zhidong's Catalogue of Books Answered, Ye Dehui's Chu Lin Qing Hua, Sun Yuxiu's A Study on the Origin of Chinese Woodblock Printing, Ye Changchi's Poems on Book Collecting, as well as catalogues and prefaces from various authors. It was truly a wide variety of books, and there was no need to adhere to a single format or box. But they did learn the art of edition. With ten or so volumes in the series, some repetition in the content is not a problem. For example, some say that Mao Jin's Jigu Ge should be classified as family-engraved, while others argue it should be considered shop-engraved. Each author writes from their own perspective, with different insights. A bit of diversity is more interesting than a single, monotonous approach.
