Bi Li Shu Biao is a logarithm table compiled by Jean Nicolas Smogolenski and Xue Fengzuo in the
beginning of Qing dynasty and it has ten thousand common logarithm values of natural number.
By analyzing these values, we found that they were obtained through cutting western logarithm
values and adopting the method of five homes six into on the basis of reference to the Western logarithmic
table. Almost logarithm values is correct, its false rate is only 0.76 percent.
