Database of Chinese Classics Ancient Books is a comprehensive full-text searchable database of large-scale classical Chinese literature. It is listed as a key project by the National Committee for the Compilation of Classics in Higher Education Institutions and is recognized as a national key electronic publication. Compiled under the supervision of Professor Liu Junwen from Peking University and developed by Beijing Erudition Digital Technology Research Center.

Database of Chinese Classics Ancient Books is divided into 4 sub-databases, 20 major categories, and 100 detailed sections. It carefully selects important classical works, including enduring classics, fundamental literature in various disciplines, and rare and esoteric works. Each work is transcribed in its entirety from the best available edition, supplemented by one or two precious version images for textual reference. The database contains a total of 10,000 books, 180,000 scrolls; 14,650 editions, 260,000 scrolls; 13 million pages of images, and 1.9 billion characters of text.
