Collection of Ancient and Modern Books, with a volume of *** 10000 and a directory of 40 volumes, was originally named Collection of Ancient and Modern Books, which was a large-scale book edited by Chen Menglei (1650- 174 1), a Fujian official in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

After 28 years of editing, the book is divided into 6 parts and 32 codes. This is the largest and most informative book in existence. Ancient and modern books have a wide range of collections, ranging from astronomy to geography, including human beings, animals, insects, literature, music and so on. It is a collection of books before the Qing Dynasty and a treasure house for researchers in various disciplines to study and continue the achievements of their ancestors. Because this book was written at the end of feudal society, it overcame the unscientific arrangement in the past. Now some quoted ancient books have been lost, and many zero-chapter sentences can be preserved through such books.
