ABSTRACT
Each half folio consists of nine columns, with twenty characters in the first column of each paragraph and eighteen in the rest of the paragraph. In the middle of each folio the title of the book is given with the number of the folio marked below. There are 414 folios in the whole book. The folios 327-329 are missing and 401-402 are misplaced. When the character sheng ~ refers to the emperor, it is replaced by an 0 at the beginning of a new column, as a customary mark of respect; also the character tsu in T'ai-tsu ::tfft§. is replaced by a O. This indicates that this edition was brought out in the Ch'ing dynasty.
