Advanced study of written Chinese can be dramatically advanced these days with online sources and tools. Many texts old and new have been digitized and reside in online archives and, with interactive dictionaries such as MDBG (online or desktop), can be read and deciphered at a pace far in excess of that we used to suffer handling large, heavy printed dictionaries.
