Lun Ming's "Chronicle Poems of The Book Collection Since Xinhai": "Dehua Li Muzhai Shengduo, in his early years, purchased the Xiangtan Yuan Shu LiuXuelu Book. The first to scatter the Yang's books in Liaocheng, such as the "Meng Haoran Collection", "Meng Dongye Collection", "Valley Complete Collection", etc., are all ancient things of the Hundred Song Dynasty, and all the kings have obtained it. It is not limited to ancient books, and the only major bibliophile in our country today is also. ”
Li Shengduo came from a family of book collectors. Grandfather Li Shu, ZiHui Yuan, Qing Dao Guang Shi GongSheng. In the early years of Daoguang, he built the "Wooden Rhinoceros Xuan" under the Lotus Peak of Lushan Mountain, with hundreds of thousands of volumes, which was later destroyed during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. His father, Li Mingqi (1823-1886), also liked to collect and engrave books. When his father was the governor of Hunan, he was able to receive most of the old collections of Yuan Fangying (ShuLiu) Woxuelu in Xiangtan, of which there were many rare copies of the Song and Yuan dynasties. Later, Li Shengduo was entrusted with preserving the stele of Shi Zongjian Guxin Pavilion, and regained the old collection of Jiang Fengzao TiehuaGuan. During his mission to Japan, with the help of the Japanese bibliographer Hanzhi Shimada, Lee purchased a number of domestic manuscripts that had been long or spread widely, including Japanese movable type, ancient engravings, and ancient manuscripts, especially Korean ancient engravings. In the first year of Xuantong (1909), Li Shi, with his authority as the minister of the Ministry of Learning, intercepted the essence of the Dunhuang Stone Chamber Testament and continued to purchase the Qing Dynasty Cabinet Archives. Three years after the reunification (1911), the Li clan lived in Beijing and Tianjin, and continued to be the factories scattered by the Kong clan of Qufu, the Song clan of Shangqiu, the Sheng clan of Yiyuan, the Yang clan of Liaocheng, the Fan clan of Ningbo, the Lu clan of Ningbo, and the Fang clan of Baling. According to the "Peking University Library Collection of Li's Bibliography" compiled by Peking University Library alone, it is 9309 species and 59691 volumes. Among them, there are more than 5,000 kinds of good books, 301 kinds of Song and Yuan books, and a large number of old manuscripts, manuscripts, and batch school books. There are more than 1,000 kinds of Japanese ancient engravings, movable type books, old manuscripts and Korean copper movable type books. The Peking University Library is the main part of Lee's collection, which can be imagined to be the grandeur of Lee's "Wood Rhinoceros" collection on that day. Fu Zengxiang commented on Li's collection of books: "The abundance of quantities, the wealth of the ministry, and the breadth of categories are rare among domestic bibliophiles in recent times. He also said: "Its preciousness should be the most important thing to be rich in old copies and famous carvings."

Li Shengduo is also a well-known bibliographer in modern times, and is good at proofreading. For decades, Dan Huang did not go to the hand, one book and one school, and then school and even three or four schools, without repeated and serious examination, he would never take the sentence lightly, and the school would write his own inscription. Lee also wrote his own bibliographic synopsis. Among the bibliophiles of recent times, the essence of the edition is widely involved, and the details of the proofreading are the first to recommend li shi, that is, Fu Zengxiang, who is proficient in proofreading and collecting in modern times, also performs the disciple's gift to him. Zhang Yufan, director of the Ancient Books Department of Peking University Library, recorded Li's inscriptions into a collection of 173 articles, and then supplemented the manuscript of the "Muxixuan Collection of Books" into "Muxixuan Collection Of Books and Records", which was published by Peking University Press in 1985. Zhang Yufan and Shen Naiwen edited the "Peking University Library Collection of Good Books", which includes 174 kinds of fine art plates, most of which are muxixuan's relics, which can be referred to.
Li Shengduo had a lot of books in the library.

From the above name of Tang Zhai, the general categories and characteristics of Lee's collection can also be known.
Li Shengduo's collection of books is printed: "Mu Xi Xuan", "Lin Jia Guan", "Fan Jiang Ge", "Lushan Li Clan Mountain House", "Li Shi Yu Yuan", "Li Family Collection WenYuan" and so on. Where the manuscript is examined and approved by hand, there are marks such as "Muzhai Examination and Approval Of Rare Books" and "Muzhai Examination and Approval".
At one point, Lee's collection was set on fire. In the nineteenth year of Guangxu (1893), "Muzhai Yangzhou Yuluhuo, the collection of two hundred books was all received by zhu Rongshi." The Zhongyuan Ming People's Collection of The Unseen Books of the World, yi Jiang Zuo's Erye" (Ye Changchi's Diary of Yuanqiu Lu, vol. VI). The relics of Shi Zongjian's Guxin Pavilion were also destroyed by fire. In his later years, MuZhai was in a difficult situation, and the collection of books was scattered one after another. After Li Shengduo's death, his son Li Huan sold most of Li's suicide note to the puppet government of Peiping in 1939. Later, these books were handed over to the Peking University Library for preservation, and were cataloged under the auspices of Zhao Wanli, and in 1956, the "Peking University Library Collection of Li's Bibliography" was printed. There are a small number of wooden rhinoceros old Tibetan scattered factories. In addition, it is recorded that Harvard University in the United States received part of Li's suicide note for 60,000 yuan (see Sichuan Library Journal, No. 2, 1980). The Dunhuang fragments in Li's collection are considered to be the most refined in The country. More than 200 volumes of Lee's collection were sold by her daughter to the former Central Library, which is now in the Taipei Central Library. The rest were purchased by the Japanese for 80,000 yen and flowed to the East. This "Sad History of Our Nation's Scholarship" continues.
