According to the saying of "righteousness, textual research, and rhetoric", in the spiritual creation of the Chinese people, textual research is one of three parts of the world and represents traditional academic research. Evidence-based research focuses on solving difficult problems through empirical evidence and is based on profound knowledge reserves and professional cultivation. Only by reading a large number of books and accumulating knowledge can researchers rely on memory to connect evidence, summarize and analyze, and obtain answers when needed. Therefore, textual criticism has always been a specialized study, and those who are not well-educated and knowledgeable cannot be competent. E textual research (E is the first letter of the English word electronic) is textual research in the digital age and the Internet age. Through databases and Internet searches, it is possible for scholars to skip the accumulation process and professional barriers and directly search for evidence clues, saving a lot of time and energy, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of textual research, and at the same time providing opportunities for ordinary people to participate in textual research and expanding academic boundaries. The author of this book is a well-known scholar of ancient printing history and classical literature research. He is also a leader in conducting literary and historical research with the help of E textual research tools in the past ten years. The book contains more than twenty articles related to historical figures. The author's original intention of writing is to disclose or interpret rare documents and provide some new historical materials, but the focus is on characters and events, hoping to reveal a hidden corner of history. Such as "A Transnational Love Affair During the Qianlong Years", "Chen Yinke's Supplementary Evidence", "The Calligraphy and Painting Business of Guoyunlou", "Paper Archaeological Notes of Yangshouyuan", "Before and After the "Lin-Cai Struggle" from Lin Shu's Letters to Zang Yinsong", "Chronicles of Xiaowanliu Hall", etc., Which involve the period since the Qing Dynasty From Fu Shan in the early Qing Dynasty to Yuan Shikai, Yan Fu, Lin Shu, Liang Qichao, Gu Hongming, Lian Quan, Wang Guowei and other figures in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, they all explored the truth and restored history through the excavation, sorting and textual research of relevant documents and materials.
