What we found about the terms of use

The site states that the encyclopedia is a public work usable under the Korea Open Government Licence, and asks that quotations carry the entry name and the encyclopedia name. This app prints the entry name and the address with every quotation.

Sentences this app quotes from this source: 4

Shenxiang Quanbian, digital text at the Chinese Text Project (ctext.org).

https://ctext.org/wiki.pl?if=gb&chapter=905153

Checked on: 2026-09-05

What we found about the terms of use

The text itself is old enough to be out of copyright. We could not find, in the site's terms, a statement about redistributing its digitised edition, so this app quotes only short passages and links to the source page.

What we could not obtain

We could not quote the Mayi treatise itself. The public digital edition we found turned out to be scanned images with no text data. Modern translations are still in copyright, so we did not use them. The reach of this app therefore stops at the three sources above.

A place the sources record differently

Our two sources disagree about which cheekbone is the eastern peak and which is the western one. We could not establish which is right, so we print both instead of choosing.
