Search tips
| Example | What it does |
|---|---|
| 國家 | Finds the characters together, in order. |
| "見聞 小錄" | Quote a phrase to keep spaces in it. |
| 國 AND 家 | Both appear somewhere on the same page. |
| 國家 OR 天下 | Either one appears. |
| 國 NOT 家 | The first appears, the second does not. |
| 國 NEAR/10 家 | Both appear within 10 characters of each other. Change the number to widen or narrow it. |
| 國?家 | Matches any single character in that position. |
| 見聞*錄 | Matches a short gap (up to 8 characters). |
Every search matches both simplified and traditional forms, so 国 also finds 國.
The OCR text here is machine-generated and uncorrected — it may contain errors. Please use it responsibly and check against the original source images.

Contributions welcome
This collection is still growing, and we welcome two kinds of contribution: curated passages from primary sources — selections you have transcribed, annotated, or worked closely with — and the primary sources they come from, so the passage can be read along with the page it comes from.
Get in touch →Most texts here come from Digitizing Vietnam, Columbia University Libraries and the Nôm Foundation, or are freely available online — for example from the Internet Archive.
