A Preliminary Discourse on the Management of Astronomical Documents in the Song Dynasty

Song Dynasty's astronomical documents,whether in the inheritance and innovation of contents or in the system of management, had reached an unprecedent level of prosperity. By inheriting , acquiring via wars, soliciting from the society, and exchanging with other countries, the Government collected a vast amount of astronomical documents. In order to preserve these documents, the Government specially built libraries and pavilions and worked out scientific measures of compiling and collating, all of which were helpful to the inheritance and renewal of astronomical knowledge. Making use of such documents, some intellectuals made remarkable achievements in astronomy.
