国宝级百科全书引国内外研究者关注

Little remains of the original edition of Yongle Dadian, an encyclopedia completed in 1408 after being commissioned by Emperor Yongle during the Ming Dynasty(1368-1644).

《永乐大典》最初的副本至今已然所剩无几。这是一本百科全书，受明永乐大帝之命编纂，成书于1408年。

However, from what is left of the handwritten tome, which is also known as the Yongle Encyclopedia, it is not difficult to imagine just how impressive it was.

然而，哪怕是从《永乐大典》这部手书巨著仅存的残卷中，我们也不难想象它昔日的光辉。

The encyclopedia not only charts the emperor's ambitions, but acts as a reference work for culture and knowledge in China.

这部百科全书不仅彰显了永乐大帝的宏图壮志，同时它也为人们了解中国的文化知识提供了参考。

On May 31, the National Library of China in Beijing announced that the Yongle Encyclopedia Research Center would be established on its premises. The center will promote comprehensive studies of the encyclopedia by teaming up with other institutions in China and overseas.
