The largest ancient book library in China - Ancient Book Library

The "Ancient Book Library Database" relies on various libraries across the country, and the entire project is expected to include more than 300000 types (different versions) of ancient literature and materials (about 80 million pictures) before 1949, with approximately 5 billion words recorded. Complete the project in stages and batches. The construction of the "Ancient Book Library Database" refers to the construction goals of the 12th Five Year Plan for Chinese libraries, and aims to build a large-scale library of ancient Chinese literature resources that comprehensively reflects the circulation and storage status, achieving one-stop full-text retrieval.

The first issue of the "Ancient Book Museum Database" includes 60000 types of ancient books and 630 million words. Among them: Classics Department (11400 species), History Department (27500 species), Subordinates Department (6200 species), and Collectives Department (13700 species).

• Realize one-stop retrieval of ancient book resources, with 60000 books included in the first issue. It is currently the database with the largest collection of ancient books and categories.

• In the early stage, geographical records, genealogies, collections, biographies, and the Four Treasures series were the main objects of collection.

• Intelligent full-text search engine, regardless of whether the reader inputs simplified, traditional, variant, or taboo characters, can retrieve them.

• Image printing and text copying functions.

The full-text search platform of the Ancient Book Museum adopts a high-speed text search engine and is combined with a distributed server cluster, enabling billion level text retrieval in just 1 second. The system can display and retrieve more than 70000 Chinese characters using Unicode encoding and a large character set (the Windows XP operating system requires the installation of a large character set). Basically, the words in the book can be checked.
