The REACHES database was built on a rich asset of historical documents in the Chinese dynasties, especially those collected in A Compendium of Chinese Meteorological Records in the last 3,000 years (Zhang 2013). To understand the digitization process, method and structure of the database, users are referred to Wang, P., Lin, KH., Liao, YC. et al. Construction of the REACHES climate database based on historical documents of China. Scientific Data 5, 180288 (2018). https://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2018.288.
