Description
Previously known as Guji faxian 古籍发现 and Quanwen faxian 全文发现, this database started as a discovery service for digitized Chinese rare books, collecting information about editions from libraries in China, the United States, and Europe. Individual entries link back to the original scans hosted by the respective institutions. Clicking on 检索 without a search term allows browsing the entire database via a simplified Sibu 四库 classification with maps, gazetteers, and congshu as additional browsing categories. Currently the portal lists about 100,000 editions. More recently the database integrated material from the previous Zhongguo yanjiu wangluo ziyuan daohang 中国研究网络资源导航 and provides an easy-to-navigate overview of many free and freely registerable databases in Chinese Studies available on the Internet.
