The role of literature:

First, literature is an important medium for people to obtain knowledge. Documents are the product of the development of human culture to a certain stage (when it has recordable content and recording tools and means), and continue to develop with the progress of human civilization.

The accumulation, summary, storage and improvement of various knowledge of human understanding of society and nature are mainly achieved through the recording, arrangement, dissemination and research of documents. Documents can enable human knowledge to break through the limitations of time and space and spread far and wide.

Second, the content of documents reflects people’s knowledge level at a certain social and historical stage; and the existence form of documents (such as recording means, writing materials, composition forms and communication methods, etc.) is also affected by the prevailing conditions at that time. The influence and restriction of the development level of social science, technology and culture.

For example, before the invention of paper, the ancients in my country could only record documents on oracle bones, bamboo slips, and silk; before the invention of woodblock printing, the ancients could only record documents by copying by hand. However, it was precisely on the basis of the accumulation of experience in the primary primitive stage of documents that paper and engraving printing were invented, which made the recording method of documents more convenient, and the spread of documents wider and faster.

People also absorb and use knowledge from literature to contribute to society, thus greatly promoting the development of social civilization. It can be seen that the level of social development determines the content and form of documents, and the inheritance, dissemination and creative use of documents have a negative impact on society and become a powerful factor in the forward development of society. The famous saying of Gorky, a famous writer of the former Soviet Union: "Books are the ladder of human progress" is meant in this sense.

Third, literature is the basis for scientific research. Any scientific research must collect extensive literature and materials, and on the basis of fully possessing the data, analyze the various forms of the data, explore their inner connections, and then conduct more in-depth research.

For example, the British Professor Joseph Needham spent decades writing the world-famous masterpiece - "History of Science and Technology in China", which was written on the basis of possessing a large amount of ancient Chinese scientific and technological documents.

Throughout the history of Chinese medicine, all doctors who have made significant academic achievements attach great importance to the study of literature. The medical sage Zhang Zhongjing "diligently sought ancient teachings and learned widely from various prescriptions. He wrote "Suwen", "Nine Volumes", "Eighty-one Difficulties", "Yin Yang Da Lun", "Tailu Medicine Record" and "Ping Pulse Syndrome Differentiation" , which is the sixteenth edition of "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases".

They are all examples of studying and utilizing ancient documents. Another example is the modern research on the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine, and the modern research on ancient disease syndromes, treatments, and prescriptions, all of which are based on the collection, sorting, analysis, and study of classical medical literature.
