Is Li Su Tuan reliable?

Li Sutuan's Shu Tong is generally reliable.

The so-called "general books" are some concise encyclopedias arranged in categories, which provide ordinary people with the technical knowledge they need in their daily lives. Such a book is all-encompassing and all-encompassing, so it is called "all-inclusive book" because it is written in quite popular words.

General books occupy a certain proportion in the publications of past dynasties, but few remain, and their practical value is far higher than their collection and appreciation value. Through the publication of all previous dynasties' general books, we can get a glimpse of the track of general books and social governance. In the Ming Dynasty alone, there were several general books, such as Xu Guangqi's Complete Book of Agricultural Administration and Song's Heavenly Creations. These general books have played an important role in developing production and maintaining healthy social practice.
