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 Texts (excerpts) ¤W ¥j º~ »y »y ®Æ ®w - ºK n (includes Lunyu ½× »y, Mengzi ©s ¤l, Mozi ¾¥ ¤l, Zhuangzi ²ø ¤l, Xunzi ¯û ¤l, Hanfeizi Áú «D ¤l, Lücshi chunqiu §f ¤ó ¬K ¬î, Laozi ¦Ñ ¤l, Shangjunshu °Ó §g ®Ñ, Guanzi ºÞ ¤l, Yanzi chunqiu ®Ë ¤l ¬K ¬î, Sunzi ®] ¤l); (4) Taiwan fangzhi »O ÆW ¤è §Ó (Local Histories of Taiwan); (5) Taiwan dang'an »O ÆW ÀÉ ®× (Taiwan Historical Archive); (6) Taiwan wenxian »O ÆW ¤å Äm (Documents from Taiwan); (7) Wenxin diaolong ¤å ¤ß ÀJ Às; (8) Fojing sanlun ¦ò ¸g ¤T ½× (Three Treatises of Buddhist Canon); (9) Yao Jiheng zhuzuoji «À »Ú ùÚ µÛ §@ ¶° (Collected Works of Yao Jiheng); (10) Xin Qing shi ·s ²M ¥v - ¥» ¬ö; (11) Yuefu shiji ¼Ö ©² ¸Ö ¶°.

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). _______________________________________________________ With kind regards, Hanno Lecher ([log in to unmask]) INTERNET GUIDE FOR CHINA STUDIES -- editor http://sun.sino.uni-heidelberg.de/igcs/ _______________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to: [log in to unmask] containing the following message: SIGNOFF IGCS-L
