Under each subsection excerpts from sources from early writings up to the 17th century are gathered, taking a 18th-century standpoint of what has to be included and how.
The Gujin tushu jicheng can be searched as a whole or confined to a specific class or subgroup. Scans of the original pages are also provided (under "版面影像").
