URL: http://www.sinica.edu.tw/ftms-bin/ftmsw3

Language: Chinese (Big5).

Resource type: Fulltext database.



Description: One of the major fulltext database projects currently under

way. The texts are carefully proofread and relatively reliable. Currently

(Oct 1999) the database contains some 140 mio characters, growth rate is 10

mio characters per annum. Although the search program is extremely mighty,

most of its capabilities remain largely unexploited in the WWW version (see

note below).



Site contents: (1) Ershiwu shi ¤G ¤Q ¤­ ¥v (25 Histories); (2) Shisan jing

zhushu ¤Q ¤T ¸g ª` ²¨ (13 Classics with Commentaries); (3) Ancient Chinese

L&uumlcshi chunqiu §f ¤ó ¬K ¬î, Laozi ¦Ñ ¤l, Shangjunshu °Ó §g ®Ñ, Guanzi

Taiwan); (7) Wenxin diaolong ¤å ¤ß ÀJ Às; (8) Fojing sanlun ¦ò ¸g ¤T ½×

¶° (Collected Works of Yao Jiheng); (10) Xin Qing shi ·s ²M ¥v - ¥» ¬ö;

Access to the following parts of the database is restricted: (1) Zhuzi ½Ñ

¤l (Pre-Han Philosophers); (2) Guji shiba zhong ¥j Äy ¤Q ¤K ºØ (18 Ancient

Texts); (3) Guji sanshisi zhong ¥j Äy ¤T ¤Q ¥| ºØ (34 Ancient Texts); (4)

Dazheng xinxiu da zangjing ¤j ¥¿ ·s ²ç ¤j Âà ¸g (Taisho Tripitaka); (5)

¤¤ µØ ¥Á °ê ¥v ¨Æ ¤é »x (Diary of the Republic of China, 1912-1949).



Note: For sophisticated research purposes the telnet version remains the

best solution. European scholars may use the telnet access to the 25

Histories at Heidelberg University

(http://sun.sino.uni-heidelberg.de/database/). A detailed description of

all search possiblities will be available there soon (Nov. 1999).
