This article contains four parts. It first argues for a lucid definition of "ancient Chinese books," and suggests that such a definition is possible only by considering the four criteria: (A) time period; (B) total number of titles, including different versions; (C) the respective dynasty that the author belongs to; and (D) a determination of a uniform author's name. It then calls for a need to organize the ancient Chinese books for the following reasons; recognizing evolving orthographic styles, old vs. modern language, obscure legendary allusions, lack of punctuation, and the variety of versions. To accomplish this, subject specialists will need to be involved. Thirdly, the article surveys work done in Mainland China. And finally, it suggests Machine Readable Cataloguing (MARC) for such future reorganization.
