Literature notes¶

Literature notes (讀書筆記) are records designed to capture insights, excerpts, and information extracted from external sources such as books, articles, and videos^[300-閱讀筆記__Zettelkasten.md].

Within the Zettelkasten methodology, they serve as the raw material or "literature" stage, preceding the creation of Permanent notes. Their primary function is to faithfully represent the content of the source material without necessarily containing the author's original synthesis^[300-閱讀筆記__Zettelkasten.md].
