On Nov. 8th, collection fans Liu Yuwen from Wudi, Shandong province was
displaying three mini Qing Dynasty (1616-1911AD) copies of "Complete
Illustration of Five Classics", "Mencius" and "Four Books Decree" handed
down from his ancestors. First published in the mid Qing Dynasty, these
are to date the smallest handkerchief case versions of "Four Books and
Five Classics" discovered in China. These well preserved volumes of "mini
copies" are true proofs for the dark competitions under the imperial
examination system in the Qing Dynasty.
