Yongle Encyclopedia
The ''Yongle Encyclopedia'' or ''Yongle Dadian'' () was a Chinese ''leishu'' encyclopedia commissioned by the Yongle Emperor of the Ming dynasty in 1403 and completed by 1408. Its sheer scope and size made it the world's largest general encyclopedia, an achievement unsurpassed until the 21st century Wikipedia.
==Development==
The ''Yongle Dadian'' was commissioned by the Yongle Emperor (r. 1402–24) and completed in 1408. 2,169 scholars spent four years compiling the ''leishu'' encyclopedia, under the leadership of general editor Yao Guangxiao (姚廣孝).
The scholars incorporated 8,000 texts from ancient times through the early Ming dynasty. Many subjects were covered, including agriculture, art, astronomy, drama, geology, history, literature, medicine, natural sciences, religion and technology, as well as descriptions of unusual natural events.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wdl.org/en/item/3019/ )〕
The encyclopedia was completed in 1408〔 at the Guozijian in Nanjing (now Nanjing University). It comprised 22,937 manuscript rolls〔 ''Encyclopædia Britannica Inc.''〕 or chapters, in 11,095 volumes, occupying roughly 40 cubic meters (1400 ft3), and using 370 million Chinese characters.〔〔陈红彦. 国家图书馆《永乐大典》收藏史话. (2008) "http://www.nlc.gov.cn/old2008/service/wjls/pdf/04/04_04_a4b7c3.pdf" 〕 It was designed to include all that had been written on the Confucian canon, as well as all history, philosophy, arts and sciences. It was a massive collation of excerpts and works from the entirety of Chinese literature and knowledge.
