Tianlu is colorful
From the first year to the fourth year of Song Jiatai (1201-1204), Zhou Bida engraved Wenyuan Yinghua
Song carved book "Hanshanzi Poetry Collection"
Tianlu Linlang is the place where the Qing Dynasty has a book collection. In the ninth year of Qianlong (1744), the edict ordered the ministers to review the collection of books in the secret palace, select rare books to be presented to the imperial review, and set up the Zhaoren Palace. Emperor Qianlong took the story of Tianlu Pavilion in the Han Dynasty collection, and wrote the title "Tianlu Linlang". In the 40th year of Qianlong (1775), he compiled the "Tianlu Linlang Bibliography". In the second year of Jiaqing (1797), the Qianqing Palace caught fire, which affected the Zhaoren Palace, and the collection of books was burned down. Later, he re-selected rare books, and once again entered the collection of Tianlu Linlang, and compiled it into the "Tianlu Linlang Bibliography Later Edition". At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the situation was turbulent, and the Tianlu Linlang collection was scattered from time to time, and bibliophiles rushed to buy the collection. Zhou Shutao collected a variety of old collections of Tianlu Linlang's "Hanshanzi Poetry Collection", and once said: "Tianlu old things, although they are scaly armor, are also proud." ”

In addition, Sichuan has also engraved a number of Song poetry collections, all of which are fine engravings. After the war, the Shu carving book is very rare, so Zhou Shutao said happily when he got the Shu carving "Houshan Poem Note": "Really when Jing Xingqing looks at it, Xi Xuan is planning for property!"
Buddhist texts
In the fourth year of Song Shaoxing (1134), the inscription of the book "Jingde Chuan Lantern Record"
Zhou Shutao is well versed in Buddhist classics, and there are many rare and fine Buddhist classics in his collection. For example, the two Song versions of Zen classics, "Jingde Chuan Lantern Record" and "Five Lantern Huiyuan", which are called "double uniques", are rare and well-carved, and Zhou Shutao is particularly fond of them. In 1928, Zhou Shutao newly collected "Jingde Chuan Lantern Record", and named his newborn son "Jingliang", and his joy was overflowing. The collection of the Southern Song Dynasty Lin'an Mansion Zhong'an Bridge Jia Guanren Sutra is engraved with the "Myoho-renge-kyo", which is an important material for the history of the edition. After getting the book, Zhou Shutao specially invited Lao Jian and Luo Zhenyu to write in small block letters to add color to it.

Zhou Shutao got this manuscript called "quite rare and secret", and proofread it once, called "the book on which the four libraries are based", and there are many inscriptions in the inscriptions. "Jian Zhai Poetry Collection" is the Yuan manuscript, Xu Naichang's old collection, Zhou Shutao because of the receipt of the Yuan engraved book "Jian Zhai Poetry Note", quite eager to get this Yuan manuscript matching, said "the domestic war is still rising, so the people who make a living do not know what to do, and now they still can't forget to live in the pile of paper, and their feelings are pitiful and ridiculous." There are very few manuscripts of the Song and Yuan dynasties, so the two books are precious.
Gold and Mongolian inscriptions
The gold engraving book "Renchen re-reformed the certificate of Lu Taiwei into the Zhuangzi full explanation"
The Jin Dynasty was a regime established by the Jurchen people living in the northeastern region, from its founding in 1115 to its fall by the Mongols in 1234, a total of 120 years. After Jin destroyed Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty, it occupied most of Northeast China and North China. Jin was deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and the engraving industry was developed in Zhongdu (now Beijing), Nanjing (now Kaifeng), Pingshui (now Linfen), and Ningjin (now Ningjin, Hebei).
In 1206, Genghis Khan established the "Great Mongolian State", and in 1234, the Mongols destroyed Jin. In 1267, Kublai Khan made the capital Dadu (now Beijing), and in 1271 changed the name of the country to "Yuan". Scholars refer to the books engraved in the northern region over the past 30 years as "Mongolian inscriptions".
There are very few gold engravings and Mongolian engravings, and their engraving styles are diverse, ranging from exquisite and delicate Song to rugged and bold Liao editions, which are deeply valued and loved by later generations of bibliophiles. There are three kinds of gold and Mongolian carved books in Zhou Shutao's collection, which are not only printed to the fine, but also the only ones that have been handed down from generation to generation.
