This book is of high historical value: Tang Lu Xisheng wrote a preface to this book, saying that Duan's "people who travel between the five mountains in the south to taste their folk customs, food and clothing systems, which are different from those in the mid summer, recorded and aspired to it. As for plants, fruits, vegetables, insects, fish, feathers and the like, there are also roses with strange shapes. It's not just about what you smell.It can also be cited in a series of ways, which is similar to the strange book. It is really said that those who are knowledgeable and believe in it can be tested if they write it in the record. It is not just Tan Duan who is one of the helpers of this natural history! Lu Xinyuan in the Qing Dynasty also said in the preface of re engraving this book: "There are not many books written by the Tang people, which can be used to see one of the ancient books, namely, The Collection of Books and Banknotes, and The Record of Beginners."
In addition, some books cited in this book, such as《Nanyue Annals》、《South American foreign bodies will want》、《Illustrations of Lingzhi》、《Materia medica》、《Tang rhyme》、《Tao Zhugong's Fish Culture Classic》, Mingyuan and other books have been lost, so I can get a glimpse of them through this book.The Natural History of Zhang Hua cited in this book is mostly absent in this book, so it is also used to verify the authenticity of this book.[1]
