Obsidian Knowledge Bank cover

What is Obsidian?

Obsidian is a piece.Local Priority Markdown Note Software, the data is stored in plain text.md files and is fully controlled by the user. Unlike other cloud notes, Obsidian emphasizes:

  • Data sovereignty: All notes are local Markdown files, open, transferable, lockless
  • Two-way Link: Interconnection of notes into knowledge networks
  • Relationship mapping: visualize the connection between notes
  • Plugin Ecology: Rich community plugin with unlimited expansion of functionality
  • It's totally free.: Individual use is entirely free of charge

Markdown Basic Syntax:

Obsidian fully supports the standard Markdown syntax, while expanding some features. Here is the common terminology:

Title level

# 一级标题(文章标题)
## 二级标题(章节标题)
### 三级标题(小节标题)
#### 四级标题

Normative recommendations: An article should have only one level title and not more than four levels.

Text format

**粗体** 用于强调
*斜体* 用于引用
~~删除线~~ 用于废弃内容
`行内代码` 用于代码片段

🔗 Obsidian Feature Syntax:

1. Two-way link (core function)

[[笔记标题]]           # 创建链接
[[笔记标题|显示文字]]   # 自定义显示文字
[[笔记标题#标题]]      # 链接到特定标题
[[笔记标题#^块ID]]     # 链接到特定段落

Best practices:

  • Use meaningful notes titles to facilitate identification
  • Create concept notes (MOC, Map of Content) as navigation
  • Periodic review of orphan notes (not linked)

Labeling systems

#标签
#多级/标签

Normative recommendations:

  • Use tier label: #technology/frontend/react
  • Avoid too many labels and keep the label system simple
  • Regularly sort tabs

3. Reference blocks and labels

> 引用内容

> [!note] 笔记标注
> 这是笔记内容

> [!tip] 提示
> 这是提示内容

> [!warning] 警告
> 这是警告内容

4. Task List

- [ ] 待办任务
- [x] 已完成任务
- [-] 放弃的任务

:: Structure of the knowledge base

1. Folder organization

📁 00-Inbox/          # 收件箱,临时笔记
📁 01-Daily/           # 日记、日志
📁 02-Projects/        # 项目笔记
📁 03-Areas/           # 领域知识
📁 04-Resources/       # 参考资料
📁 05-Archive/         # 归档
📄 MOC.md              # 概念地图

Note naming specifications

  • Concept notes: use terms such as "two-way link", "knowledge management"
  • Project notes: use verbs + nouns, such as `Book-up', `Learning Python'
  • Journal: date of use, e.g. "2026-03-31"
  • MOC: use domain name + Map, e.g. "Technology learning Map"

3. Notes template

Create standard templates to keep notes consistent:

---
tags: #标签
date: {{date}}
---

# {{title}}

## 概述

## 详细内容

## 相关链接
- [[相关笔记1]]
- [[相关笔记2]]

## 参考资源
- [外部链接](url)

Recommendations for best practices

1. Gradual summary

  • First floor: original extract (highlight)
  • Second layer: Bold marking focus
  • Level three: summation in your own words
  • Level 4: Reflections and linkages

2. Atomic Notes Principles

  • A note says only one concept.
  • Maintain the independence of notes
  • Create links through links
  • Avoid big copy paste

3. Regular maintenance

  • Weekly check inboxes
  • Organisation
  • Quarterly review of orphan notes
  • Archive old notes every year
