This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Say your library did, you would read this book in Classical Chinese? Or would you rely on a translation, probably published much later?

It being listed in the catalog would at least be some indication that the evidence exists, as opposed to an endless linked list of "trust me bro".

Here’s a digitization of the first one and the second one, including a picture of an edition of the work itself. I found it by googling the names of the works in the quoted section.

If that’s not sufficient, I suggest you ask at your local (or most local) university library.
