The Sancai Tuhui is a massive 106-volume Ming dynasty encyclopedia. While specific illustrations and short passages have been translated and analyzed in scholarly works (such as those by Joseph Needham and Craig Clunas), no complete English translation of the entire work or of Volume 76 (Ceremonial Systems) has been published. Catalog searches in Open Library and local scholarly databases confirm the absence of a standalone English edition.
