In recent years, scholars have made considerable achievements in the investigation, cataloguing and research of the ancient books Chinese collected in Europe and the United States, and a number of books, bibliographies and related studies have emerged, and libraries with more collections of ancient Chinese books in Europe and the United States have made their collections public through various books and bibliographies. Professor Zhang Baosan's "Ancient Books and Classics of the Chinese Collection of the University of Chicago Library" was produced in this context. This book is a good book journal of Chinese books collected by the University of Chicago in the United States, including 284 kinds of Chinese books in the scripture department, each book has a detailed solution, introduces the author and the process of writing the original book, details the information of the version and collection, and quotes the preface to the original book and combines visual examination to explain the style, circulation, and relationship between the versions of the original book. The Chinese books collected in this book are mainly From the Ming and Qing dynasties, and many books have been published, which have greatly expanded the study of Ming and Qing editions and academic history.
Recent developments in the compilation of Bibliographies of Chinese Books in Europe and the United States
The circulation of ancient Chinese books overseas, in terms of the geographical and cultural environment in which they are located, and even the comprehensiveness of investigation and collation and the fullness of research, can be roughly divided into two parts: one is the Japanese-Tibetan Chinese, because Japan is close to China, and Japan itself has a good academic tradition, so the cataloguing, collation and research of Japanese and Tibetan Chinese books by Chinese and Japanese scholars are very sufficient, and their results are not only huge in quantity, but also have a group of high-quality people, which has become an academic force that cannot be ignored in the study of classical Chinese learning The second is the Chinese nationality in Europe and the United States, because of the geographical, linguistic, cultural, political and other barriers, Chinese and European and American scholars for the european and American Tibetan Chinese nationality investigation and research, all started late, the research is still shallow, this situation has only changed in recent years.
In 1939, at the invitation of the sinologist Arthur W. Hummel, Wang shi went to the United States to sort out and catalog the Chinese collection of the Library of Congress, and Wang shi compiled the "Catalogue of Chinese Good Books in the Collection of the Library of Congress" during this period, and later Heng Muyi invited Yuan Tongli, the former director of the Beiping Library, to revise and complete this "Book Record", which became an earlier bibliothology of ancient books in the United States and Tibet Chinese. Wang Chongmin also compiled a catalogue of Chinese ancient books in the Library of Princeton University in the United States, but it was not completed, and in the late 1960s, the Taiwanese scholar Qu Wanli compiled the "Chinese Book Of Good Books of Princeton University's Goldsword Oriental Library" on the basis of Wang's catalogue manuscript. These two bibliographies are not only the earliest records of ancient books in the United States and Tibet Chinese, but also have complete style and concise words, laying a good foundation for the writing of bibliographies of overseas Chinese.
Later, Shen Jin edited the "Chinese Books of Good Books in the Collection of the Harvard Yenching Library of Harvard University" (1999), Tian Tao edited the "Bibliography of Tibetan Chinese Books and Good Books in the Institute of Sinology of the Académise de France" (2002), Qiao Xiaoqin, Zhao Qingzhi and others edited the "Outline of Rare Books of Ancient Books collected Chinese by the East Asian Library of the University of Toronto, Canada" (2009), Ma Yuehua and others edited the "Stanford University Library Chinese Ancient Books and Rare Books" (2013), Chen Xianxian edited "The Rare Books of the Stanford University Library" (2013), Chen Xianxian, editors- The University of California, Berkeley, East Asian Library Chinese Ancient Books and Books (2014), shen Zhijia and Liu Jing," edited by Shen Zhijia and Liu Jing, "Flowers and Leaves: New Records of Rare Books from the University of Washington and the University of British Columbia" (2019), etc., are all catalogues of the collections of more important overseas Chinese ancient book collection units in the form of summary catalogs, especially the two "Books" of Shen Jin and Chen Xianxian, which are the most famous, and are once cited as models for the cataloguing of overseas Chinese books.
Due to the limitations of human and financial resources and other objective conditions, most overseas Chinese ancient book collection units mainly publish their collections to Xuelin in a simple way without a summary. For example, as early as the twenties, the collection of the Vatican Library was compiled by Paul Pelliot in the Concise Catalogue of Chinese Writings and Printed Books in the Vatican Library (1922), which was later edited and supplemented by the Japanese Takada Toshio, and Guo Ke translated it into Chinese, that is, the Catalogue of Chinese Books Held by the Vatican Library (2006). American scholar R. Douglas K. Douglas) is the author of the 1877 Edition of the Catalogue of Chinese Engravings, Writings and Picture Books in the Collection of the British Museum (2010), and the Russian scholar Ye Kejia (Е M. А·Завидовская), Ma Yide(Д· И·Маяцкий) has compiled the Catalogue of Chinese Books of Academician Wang Xili in the Library of the Oriental Department of St. Petersburg University (2012), Xu Hong and others have compiled the "Catalogue of Ancient Books Chinese east asian library of the University of Pittsburgh" (2015); at the same time, there are also some early missionaries and scholars who have been sorted out and published, and the number is not much, so I will not repeat them.
In addition to the separately published bibliographies, there are currently two large-scale overseas Chinese bibliographies of ancient books, which are still being published in the branch library. One is the "General Catalogue of Ancient Books Chinese Overseas" published by Zhonghua Bookstore, which has been published in the yale University Library, Ohio State University Library, Duke University Library, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill East Asian Library, Airon Library, Dartmouth University Library, New York State Hamton University Library, Pennsylvania State University Library, John Rylands Library of the University of Manchester, University of Auckland, New Zealand and other units Chinese ancient books. The catalogue of the series is mainly a brief catalogue, which is convenient for scholars to quickly understand the overview of overseas Chinese ancient book collections. The second is the "Bibliography series of overseas Chinese Ancient Books" launched by the National Library of China Press, of which the European and American parts have published the "Catalogue of Ancient Chinese Books in Spain" (2015), the "Catalogue of Ancient Books collected by emory university theological school library Chinese" (2016), the "Princeton University Library Collection of Chinese Good Books" (2017), the "University of Chicago Library Collection Chinese Ancient Books And Collections" and "Series" (2019), as well as the "Collection of Ancient Books and Collections" (2019) to be highlighted in this article. The University of Chicago Library, USA, Chinese Ancient Books and Classics Chronicles and Scriptures (2020, referred to as the Zhida Shuzhi) and so on. The catalogues in this series include both a brief catalogue and a bibliography containing summaries and inscriptions, which have begun to become essential materials for understanding and studying ancient books Chinese overseas.
In addition to the abstract catalogs, the above-mentioned important cities with Chinese ancient books such as the Library of Congress, harvard university libraries, Princeton University Libraries, and berkeley California Library, there are also more comprehensive and revised and supplemented compendiums, as well as catalogues and catalogs of various specialties, such as Fan Bangjin's "Continuation of the Chinese Books collected by the Library of Congress" (2011), Zhu Shijia's "Catalog of Chinese Fangzhi In the Library of Congress" (2014), and Chang Peter's "Catalogue of Chinese Fangzhi" (2014). Princeton University Gushold Oriental Library Chinese Bibliography of Old Books (1990), "Fang Zhi Shuzhi of the Harvard Yenching Library of Harvard University" (2015), "Catalogue of Rare Books of the Song and Yuan Dynasties in the East Asian Library of the University of California, Berkeley" (2014), etc. In addition, on the basis of a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the characteristics of each collection, Chinese and foreign academic and publishing institutions have jointly published a number of photocopied books of rare and rare overseas books, such as "Collection of rare books collected Chinese by Harvard University Harvard Yenching Library" (2003), "Harvard Yenching Library Collection of Rare Books series" (2016), "Harvard University Yenching Library Collection of Qing Dynasty Rare Books Series" (2017), "Berkeley University UC East Asian Library Collection banknote school series" (2013), "University of California, Berkeley East Asian Library Collection of Song and Yuan Rare Books Series" (2014), etc., have made great contributions to the "return" of Chinese ancient books circulated overseas.
Judging from the current catalogue of Chinese books, the vast majority of Chinese books circulating in Europe and the United States are inscriptions, banknotes and other types of documents from the Ming and Qing dynasties; in addition to the Library of Congress, the Library of California, Berkeley, harvard Yanjing Library and several other large libraries, the Song and Yuan books collected by the general collection unit can be described as rare. From this point of view, overseas Chinese books are of great significance to the study of Ming and Qing philology, book history, and social and cultural history. Especially from the perspective of versionology, the current domestic research still has the characteristics of emphasizing the Song and Yuan and light Ming and Qing dynasties, and the writing of various books, inscriptions, and the compilation of catalogues are often the Song and Yuan ben occupy an absolutely large space, which is contrary to the proportion of the Song yuan and the Ming and Qing dynasties. At present, it seems that the breakthrough in this situation can be achieved from the compilation of overseas Chinese books: due to the limitations of the collection, the compilation of overseas books cannot but focus on the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the more prominent Ming and Qing books, catalogues and even electronic books are also the best results of some overseas libraries, which has brought great convenience to researchers at home and abroad who take Ming and Qing books as the main materials. The Zhida Shuzhi compiled by Professor Zhang Baosan was produced in this context, and has expanded the cataloguing of overseas Chinese books and the study of Ming and Qing philology to a certain extent.
Characteristics of Zhang Baosan's Zhida Shuzhi
Professor Zhang Baosan's compilation of the "University of Chicago Library Collection Chinese Ancient Books and Classics Can be called a bibliography of the bibliography. Regarding the bibliophile, Mr. Yan Zuozhi once said that it should have three basic contents, such as "the similarities and differences of the editions, the preparation of each preface, and the solution of each problem" (Yan Zuozhi: "The Harvard Model": Reflections on the Current Situation of the Catalogue of American,Tibetan-Chinese Books--A Commentary", Bibliography Quarterly, Vol. 35, No. 2, 2001, p. 16); Mr. Chen Xianxian believed that the general good book chronicle should put "the examination and appraisal version in the first place" (Chen Xian:"An Attempt to Write a Public Collection of Good Books--A Long Talk"). Proceedings of the 1st International Symposium on The Collation of Chinese Literature in East Asia, Taipei: Institute of Folk Arts, Taipei University, 2011, p. 340). From these two points, Professor Zhang's "Zhida Shuzhi" has inherited all kinds of bibliographies since the "Tianlu Linlang Bibliography" and "Ai Ri Jinglu Bibliography", especially the "Shanshu Bibliography" of the aforementioned Harvard Yenching Library, the University of California, Berkeley, and other bibliophiles.
The University of Chicago Library contains more than 1,700 kinds of ancient books of the Scripture Department, and Professor Zhang's Zhida Shuzhi is a book written for 284 of them. The style of the book is rigorous: each book chronicle first describes the author's life, and then describes the basic information of the book version, such as the line, the size of the layout, the layout, the title page of the title, the preface, etc., and then quotes the original book preface and combines visual examination to explain the author's reason for writing, the writing process of the book, the style of the whole book, the situation of the chapters and sections, the existence or absence of circle points and proofreading in the book, etc., and then cites the inscriptions of predecessors, contemporary research and other materials to comment on the content of the book, and finally explains the inclusion of important books lists today. The photocopy publication and the current existence of the book at home and abroad that the author has investigated will also describe the similarities and differences between the collection of the University of Chicago Library and other collections, the names of the engravings, and the prints in the books. Regarding the origin, characteristics, and value of the ancient books Chinese in the library of the University of Chicago, as well as professor Zhang Baosan's philosophy of writing the book, etc., please refer to the "Preface" of the book, which is not repeated here, and this article only discusses a few features of the book.
First of all, this book not only compiles the preface to the original book in more detail, but also widely cites various materials, reflecting its concept of attaching importance to the original literature, which is quite the style of the ancients to "say but not to do". Specifically, when introducing the author of the original book, the author often cites the correct history, Fang Zhi, chronology and other materials to introduce the life of the author, and where there is a problem, he refers to the research of his neighbors in many ways to test whether it is correct and does not follow the old mistakes. In terms of introducing the reasons for the writing of the original book, the writing process, and the content of the original book, the author mainly records the preface to the original book, and the number of prefaces to the original book is so large that it accounts for almost half of the length of the book, which is of great significance for the preservation of the original document; at the same time, the author does not simply sacrifice the preface, but integrates its content into the narrative of the book, which is a major feature of the writing of the book. When commenting on the content and value of the original book, the author extensively cites the "General Catalogue of the Four Libraries" (hereinafter referred to as the "General Catalogue"), the "ZhengTang Reading Secretary", the "Bibliography of Ancient Chinese Books" and other predecessors' summaries and introductions, and does not blindly discern the views of the predecessors, and sometimes examines them. For example, the Qing people have always had a lot of ridicule of the Ming people's scholarship, or not without unfiled mistakes, which is not uncommon in the "General Catalog", and the author often breaks out of the barrier of the "General Catalog" and has a more objective evaluation of the Ming ren's works; not only that, the author often compares the premise of the "General Catalog" with the Wenyuan Pavilion and the Wenjin Pavilion book, so as to see the differences between the abstracts of each book, explore the reasons, and show the gains and losses of each abstract with specific examples. For example, in the book of Chen Yizun's "Notes on the Collected Works of the Book of Rites" (the original title of the book was "The Collected Notes on the Ritual Records", the author pointed out that the premise of the Wenyuan Pavilion and Wenjinge books should be roughly the same, and both inherited Zhu Yizun's commentary on the "Jingyi Examination" and said that Chen Yizun's book was "in the number of degrees, the choice is not refined, and the language is not clear", which is quite criticized, while the "General Catalogue" points out that Zhu Yizun is excessively defamatory, and Chen Zhishi is quite "simple" and beneficial to beginners. Readers are reminded of the differences in the abstracts. (Zhang Baosan, "The Library collection of the University of Chicago Chinese Ancient Books and Classics, Beijing: National Library Press, 2020, pp. 347-348.) ）
Secondly, this book has made a useful expansion in the identification and bibliography of Ming and Qing dynasties, and has made great contributions to the study of the history of Ming and Qing books. The 284 kinds of sutras in the library of Zhida University are all engraved, manuscript or banknote copies of the Ming and Qing dynasties, of which there are nearly 80 kinds of Ming and more than 200 kinds of Qing books, of which there are many rare books, which have been introduced in the "Preface" of this book. From the perspective of the study of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the following points are worth noting in this book.
First, when this book is intended to introduce the book version, it also has a detailed description of the missing pages, copying, and patching of the board in the book, which is not possible for those who have visually examined the whole book. Writing a book, if it is treated purely with the attitude of completing a task or project, the book is easy to lose, and the inferior often does not read the original book, does not read the original text, but picks up people's teeth and wisdom, inherits the theory, and simply excerpts the words of others to fill the length of the book and becomes the table of contents. This book is not at fault in identifying editions, and its edition description is therefore very reliable, and its research on the supplementary boards and revisions of the Ming and Qing dynasties is also the content that should be studied in depth by the current editions.
Second, when the book was appraised, the paper mill seal was used in many places to judge the publication and printing era of the book, which added a new method to the identification of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The imprint of the paper mill, that is, the mark of the papermaker on the paper, is mostly found in the early and middle Qing Dynasties, and the previous bibliographic records have occasionally recorded it, but there is no specific and sufficient reflection, and occasionally the paper mill seal is mistaken for the seal of the bookstore. Professor Zhang Baosan has long paid attention to the paper mill imprints in ancient books, and has written two articles, "The Application of Paper Mill Imprints in the Identification of Rare Books in the Qing Dynasty Chinese Chinese Rare Books" and "Research on the Imprints of Paper Mills in Rare Books and Ancient Books of the Qing Dynasty", discussing the content, characteristics and value of paper mill imprints in Qing Dynasty ancient books. In the process of sorting out the ancient books Chinese in the library of the University of Chicago, Professor Zhang was able to use the paper mill imprint for the identification practice of the Qing Dynasty version, and made a special description in the "Zhida Shuzhi", which made the edition scholar have a more intuitive and in-depth understanding of the paper mill imprint. The expansion of the method of edition identification is also the result of extensive use of ancient books by editionists, which is inseparable from the author's long-term direct contact with the original book and theoretical thinking.
Third, extensive investigation of major libraries at home and abroad to explain the status of a book, at the same time a detailed comparison of the editions collected in various places, through the comparison of editions to comprehensively derive the real situation of a book, a book, a book, a publication or circulation. For example, when introducing Ming Lang Zhaoyu's Commentary on the Ancient Zhou Rites, this book compares the collection of the Zhida Library with the same edition of the Tianjin Library, points out that Lang Zhaoyu's "Benyan" is missing before the Chicago book, and records part of the Tianjin Library's "Benyan" to illustrate the meaning of Lang's writings, and later uses this as an important reference to trace the time of the engraving of this book. Another example is Ming Feng Menglong's book "Spring and Autumn Hengku", the Zhida collection does not have a book name leaf, and there is little other information that can determine the time of publication of the edition, the author is compared with the book collected by the Peking University Library, it is regarded as the same edition, because it is concluded that this book is the tomorrow's opening edition, and according to the layout characteristics and the paper mill imprint, it is known that this book has a Qing Dynasty supplement, so it is finally determined that this book is "tomorrow's opening and engraving of the Qing Dynasty supplementary print". Although the method of comparison in this version seems simple, it is often difficult to carry out due to conditions, which has been more common in the study of the Song and Yuan dynasties before, but at present, few scholars have used it in the identification and research of the Ming and Qing dynasties. This book conducts a comprehensive edition survey of the more than 280 ancient books of the Ming and Qing dynasties recorded, and compares the editions, which is also an important extension of the study of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In the ancient books of the Ming and Qing Dynasties recorded in Professor Zhang's "Zhida Shuzhi", there are a large number of keju books, which are of great value for understanding the culture of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and this feature is discussed in the next section.
Professor Zhang's "Zhida Shuzhi" has a total of more than one million words, and the difficulty of his writing can be imagined. However, in general, this book seems to be debatable. First, as mentioned earlier, the extensive use of biographical sources to illustrate the life of the authors and the introduction of all the authors may be related to the author's idea of expecting the book to be an introductory book for the study of scripture, but some of the more common works in the book seem to be subject to consideration. For example, the first book of Yi class, "Zhou Yi and Yi", cites historical biographies such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Book of Jin, and the Old Book of Tang to introduce the lives of Wang Bi, Han Kangbo, Kong Yingda, Lu Deming, and others, and all of them are well known, and this book is not rare, and this part of the content seems to be "slightly detailed". In addition, the author sometimes has to avoid the biographical material cited in the letter, so there are occasional mistakes and omissions, for example, in the "Biography of Shang Shu Pi", the author cites the "Biography of the Qing Dynasty" and the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" to describe the life of Zhu Heling, these two biographies due to his own physical examples and limited vision, although there are many references to Zhu's works, but there is no mention of Zhu Zhu's Du poems and Li Shangyin's poems, and the book records are not supplemented. In fact, Zhu Zhudu and Li Shi have been well-known since the beginning, and it seems inappropriate to completely ignore them. After the same book, Zhu Heling's "Poetry Classics and Tongyi" was also recorded, quoting the first of his book, Zhang Shangyi's "Preface": "Mr. Shu wrote a book full of books, Shaoling and Yishan poetry collection notes, and family strings recited every household." This is not an overstatement. It seems that the author should summarize the biographies of his predecessors and make up for their deficiencies in order to be more complete.
Second, the preface to the original book and the outline of his book quoted in the book are extremely rich, and the author has done less; when the author cites it, he integrates it into his own discourse with quotations, so that most of the books are mainly large quotations, and in the meantime, there are several sentences of the author's outline, although it can be said that the quotations have the tendency to overpower the author. From the reader's point of view, it is not only lost in complexity, but also slightly flawed, I am afraid that it is not exhausted. If the author can write more ink and ink, summarize the author's life and the reason for writing this book, the compilation process of the book, the content characteristics and its historical significance, and record the preface text in its entirety at the end of one article, simplify the content of the cited book, and slightly detail it, it will save a lot of space and be more concise, which may be more convenient for readers.
Zhang Baosan's Zhida Shuzhi attaches great importance to the scriptures of Juye
Books in the past public collections have not been given much attention, because their era is generally late (basically after the Ming Dynasty), and the scholarly nature of the content is obviously different from that of the general jingbu writings. Among the aforementioned books in the collection Chinese ancient books of overseas collections, only Qu Wanli's "Bibliography of Chinese Good Books Collected by the Princeton University Gussed Oriental Library" lists the "Appendix" category after the general collection category, specifically listing the selected works of the industry, including the Mingren's "New Carved Hanlin Selected Jia Jia Shu
In fact, the books are not only the Eight Strands Anthology, the Trial Poems and the Law Endowment, the Tang and Song Dynasties Ancient Texts Anthology and other collections of books, as well as the sub-department's "Poetry to Class" and other allusive dictionary books, but also include the Jingbu Counseling Book, the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" that have been revised at the moment, the excerpts and commentaries of the Ming and Qing dynasties and previous classics (that is, the so-called sermons), and the special topics such as "Four Books of Characters Tu Kao". In the eyes of the ancients, this kind of sutra book has always been difficult to climb and elegant, not only in the main catalogue of the "General Catalogue of the Four Libraries", most of which have been included in the inventory, and they are rarely recorded in the private collection catalogue of the Qing Dynasty. In the social context of shoddy production and variety of books, which affect the correct understanding and study of the classics by ordinary scholars, this treatment of removing miscellaneous things is a logical and understandable act. However, in modern times, the imperial examination has become a research specimen of the academic community, and it is obvious that all types of books in the industry need to be included in the research field in order to objectively and comprehensively describe the overall appearance of the Ming and Qing dynasties. At present, the academic circles have a large number of collations and in-depth studies of the imperial examination system and policies, the imperial examination records and volumes, the eight-strand anthologies, and the ancient anthologies, but they have paid little attention to the guidance of the Ministry of Economics, which has become an obvious shortcoming in the study of the imperial examinations, which is directly related to the ambiguity of the basic information. Although the current good books do not have a correct catalogue, most of them contain less of these sutras, and some of them are actually used for professional purposes, and the summaries of some books that are actually used for professional purposes often do not clearly indicate their use and nature.
The best book journal in terms of collecting the books of the Juye Scripture Department is the "Collection of the Harvard Yenching Library of Harvard University, usa Chinese Shanshu Chronicles and Scriptures" (hereinafter referred to as Shen Zhi) edited by Shen Jin. Among the 380 kinds of sutras it collects, there are more than 60 kinds of books with obvious nature, and among the 96 colored books attached to the book, there are also more than 55 kinds of juye books, which can allow readers to intuitively understand the title page publicity and internal layout of a large number of such sutras. After Shen Zhi, it was Professor Zhang's "Zhida Shuzhi". Judging from the cataloguing of the Juye Sutra, the Zhida Shuzhi has the following characteristics:
First, the book has a clear sense of the value of the sutra. In the "Other Academic Values" section of his own Preface, the author directly lists the title of "The Value of Research Related to the Imperial Examination", and cites an example from the Yan Hongluo Sayings, indicating that this material is a typical example of the common phenomenon of arbitrary abridgement of scriptures in Ming Ji's juye books.
Second, the number of books in the book can be said to be second only to Shen Zhi. Of the 284 types of scriptures in the book, there are nearly 50 kinds of books for karma. In terms of subdivision, the four types of books that serve the four books in the examination hall are naturally the largest, including 18 kinds of "Lecture Notes on the Four Books of Mr. Lu Wan Estate" and "Four Books of the Left Kingdom"; followed by the "Book of Shang", about 10 kinds, which is comparable to the number of Shen Zhi's "Book of Shang".
Third, it reveals some categories that have a very small number of surviving species. For example, Ming Sun's "Commentary on the Collected Works of Shangshu" and Ming Li Maozhi's "Commentary on the Commentary on the Famous Gong Zuo Chuan", at present, only the Zhida Library and the Japanese ZunjingGe Library have collections; Ming Yuxinchun's "Search for the Book of Rites", which was quite influential at that time, is now only found in the National Library, hebei university library and Zhida Library; Qing Li Peilin and other "Four Books of the Commentary and Reference" are not found in the catalogues of various families, only in the Zhida Library.
Fourth, the synopsis makes extensive references to the preface, examples, and featured chapters of the original book. The preface and the list of examples are inherited from Shen Zhi's practice, of course, the two books do not list the full text of each book's examples. The Zhida Shuzhi often comments on the main points of the preface and examples, but the comments may not be in-depth enough. The "Zhida Shuzhi" pays attention to the special chapters of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which can be used as an example: for example, the synopsis of Ming Wangqiao's "Book Curtain Farewell" pays special attention to the "Kyushu Shanshui Song", "Tribute Song", and "Gong Dao Song" contained in the "Yugong", and quotes the "Kyushu Shanshui Song" under the "Kyushu Shanshui Song": "The song recipe of "Yugong" is old, and the words and sentences are despicable, and they are particularly unreadable, and now they are slightly polished, and they are less helpful for Tong Meng's recitation..." And Qing Wu Quan's "Deep Liu Tang Compilation of Books and Classics", Professor Zhang noticed that the map at the beginning of the book was mostly taken from the "Book Transmission Encyclopedia". There are also "Kyushu Tian Palm Tips" and "Kyushu Fu Palm Tips" that are not found in the "Encyclopedia", both of which are listed on the palm chart, and there are "Kyushu Earth Color Sex Song", "Kyushu Tribute Song", "Kyushu Tribute Song" and other song tips, there is no picture. The universality and number of such song techniques can be described as an important feature of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
At present, the study of the Juye Sutra is still relatively weak, and there are occasional omissions in some places in the Zhida Shuzhi. For example, the synopsis of the "New Publication of the Lijing Search" states that "this book has the anonymity Zhu Pen circle point, and there are also ink pen circle points and criticisms, and the critics occasionally sign the name 'Dedication'", such as volume 24 has an eyebrow criticism: "Dedication Cloud: 'Yi Yi Le Li, Le Ye, rather than living in the uneducated. And said that "'dedicated' its people have no examination." In fact, the "dedication" here does not refer to the name of the person, but to the abbreviation of Ming Yang Dingxi's "Li Ji Jingye", which is a famous abridged scripture of the "Li Ji", and the anonym critic copied the annotations in the "Li Ji Jingye", because the title "Jingye" Yunyun", the author mistakenly recognized it as the name of the Qing people. Professor Zhang mentioned the third rule of the original book, saying that the book contained the whole scripture, but as long as you check its catalog, you will find that Yan Shi is deceiving people, and the book, like other inscriptions of the Late Ming Dynasty, deletes all funeral chapters.
Generally speaking, the "Zhida Shuzhi" written by Professor Zhang Baosan is rigorous in style, accurately evaluated, and richly compiled, although there are occasional small mistakes, but the flaws are not hidden, and it has great expansion merit for the study of Ming and Qing dynasty versioning, book history, and sutras of the industry, which is of great academic value.
