"Naturally that kind of almanac didn't attract many people, so at the end of the Christian almanac a lot of new scientific knowledge was included, to appeal to intellectuals," says Huang, citing as examples the structure of the eyeball or of submersibles, as well as the harmful effects of opium and ways to quit.
「這樣的曆書當然無法引起大家的興趣，所以基督教通書後面加了許多科學新知來吸引知識份子」，黃一農舉例，像是眼球、潛水艇的結構，吸鴉片的壞處、戒煙的方法等。
