"My Tiger Tail Study", by Xie Qizhang
Mr. Xie Qizhang called his study a tiger's tail, which of course comes from Lu Xun's self-proclamation, and he mentioned in the preface to this book that on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of Lu Xun's death in October 1946, Xu Qinwen wrote a "Mr. Lu Xun at the Tiger's Tail", which was published in the thirty-first issue of "Cosmic Wind B Journal", which is not the earliest source of the tiger's tail, Mr. Xie did not affirm, he just said that he had checked the annotations of Lu Xun's complete works and found no earlier records.
Although Mr. Xie's study is smaller than Lu Xun's tiger tail, he believes that his study is slightly similar to Lu Xun's tiger tail, and he respects Lu Xun all his life, so he also named this study. He had a habit of keeping a diary, so he mentioned in the preface that it was the day he became a freelance writer that he had the name tiger's tail, and his achievements in this tail were enough to make him proud:
In the past twenty years, he has published more than two dozen books and published more than a thousand essays, all of which are produced from "Tiger Tail". "Tiger Tail" has received more than a dozen interviews from television stations, and even made a movie, and the premiere of this film ("One Hundred Years of Light and Shadow") was held in the Great Hall of the People, attended by party and state leaders, and the premiere news was broadcast in the news broadcast. This was perhaps the brightest moment of my tiger's tail.
The first article in this book talks about the "History of the Spread of Lu Xun's "Tiger Tail"", on May 25, 1924, Lu Xun moved to No. 21 Xisan hutong, the gate of Fuchengmen Palace, and the first visitor he moved to here was Xu Qinwen, and later Xu wrote in the commemorative article the origin of Lu Xuntang:
Mr. Lu Xun smiled again to answer, "Because it is cheaper, this is a ash shed, which is a flat-roofed, more formal house, and the money can be saved by more than half." -- Dragging a gray shed behind the house in this way, in Beijing, is called tiger tail. Now I live in tiger tails! ”
Beijingers call such houses tiger tails, in fact, I have not heard of it, perhaps this is the way the old Beijingers in Lu Xun's era were called. Lu Xun's study I have been to a few times, the area is indeed not large, the desk is indeed simple, it seems that great works do not need luxurious cultural supplies to support, perhaps, this is the reason why Mr. Xie "plundered" Lu Xuntang. But Mr. Xie's father, who is also an orthodox reader, does not seem to approve of his son's approach:
Once my father snapped at me, "Why do you use 'tiger tail', isn't that Lu Xun'?" "It seems like a joke to sell fame and reputation, but also can't prevent others from getting serious."
Although I have read many books of Mr. Xie's book, I still have feelings for this new work, his articles are quite readable, many years ago I said that among friends who like to collect books, Mr. Lu Xin and Xie Qizhang have written the best articles, and I still think so. However, from the style of writing in this book, I think Mr. Xie has changed, he has less ridicule, more seriousness, Xie style jokes are also missing, the degree of good looks has decreased, but the solidity of the article has improved. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing from the perspective of selling books, but at least, this kind of writing is still very appetizing to me, and his honesty in the article is as good as ever, which is where Sherving is popular. For example, he bluntly said in the book: "'Raising books with books' is an economic account, and the fees I have received in the past twenty years have been almost equal to the purchase of books, and to put it more vulgarly, 10,000 books and periodicals are almost 'free' for free." ”
In fact, this kind of thinking of his should be the common wish of all literati, but there are not many people who can realize it, on the contrary, this is more able to see Mr. Xie's diligence. And there are many articles in this book that talk about his experience of taoting books, "Haidian Town Taoshu Small History" is a summary of the results of a certain taoshu place, read this article carefully, although you can feel the book collection environment described by Mr. Xie, but also have its proud strokes: "I only bought a dozen books to study Lu Xun, of which the line-bound large-character book "Lu Xun's Criticism of the Tao of Confucius and Meng's Words" was bought for thirty yuan, and after many years it was auctioned off at a price of nine thousand yuan. I don't know if this was an accident in Mr. Xie's book collection history, but I can still read from the book that his nostalgia for that period can be read:
This time the book market was different from the past, and on the third day, several of us went again, all of whom had a glimmer of hope or reluctance. Unexpectedly, they had their own gains, Ke Weidong got "Grass", which was rated as the best; Zhao Guozhong got "The Complete Compilation of Bone Dong Trivia"; I got "Qing Dynasty Inner Court Imperial Printing Clay Law", "Beijing Fanchang Record", "Modern Historical Materials" (The First Collection), etc., all of which are thirty or fifty pieces a book. "Modern Historical Materials" was later transferred to a certain collector of revolutionary literature for five thousand yuan, and just went to the Confucius Old Book Network to check the price of this book, good fellow, there is a book sold for twenty-three thousand yuan.
"New Compilation of Shao Jinhan's Annals", by Zhu Jiong
This book was given to me by Mr. Zhu Jiong, and last year I went to Yuyao to look for the relics of Shao Jinhan, where Mr. Zhu Jiong took me to visit. Today's Shao Jinhan's former residence has become a lively and extraordinary vegetable market, Mr. Zhu Jiong told me with great emotion about the process of change in this area, and now I see the old photos of Shao Jinhan's former residence in his monograph, and see the people, Mr. Zhu Jiong's indignation when he told me the story of Shao Jinhan, and instantly appeared in front of me.
At the beginning of the volume, this book lists the Yuyao Shao family and its lineage, the lineage chart allows readers to see the relationship between the Shao clan very intuitively, Mr. Zhu lists the various deeds of the master from 1 year old to 54 years old in the main spectrum, and at the end of the volume is attached the "Chronicle of the Great Events after death", while the appendix I is the epitaph, biography and preface of the master, and appendix II is the compilation of Shao Jinhan's articles. Mr. Zhu Jiong wrote in the Afterword:
During the Republic of China, Mr. Huang Banpo, a senior of Yi, wanted to write the "Chronology of Mr. Jinhan of Qing Shao Eryun" (hereinafter referred to as "Shao Genealogy"), read the strategy of the county Zhijiu Xianggong, and knew that The ancestors of Yu wrote the annals of Mr. Shao Eryun, and had visited Mr. Xiangsheng and Mr. Esheng of the Uncle Gaozu, but the defendant had lost his manuscript and failed to do so, so he had the sigh that "the township predecessor Mr. Zhu Jiuxiang Mr. Lan once wrote the "Annals of Mr. Shao Eryun" in four volumes, and now his manuscript has no survivors"! Mr. Banpo "regretted that the Zhu manuscript was not passed on, feared the hometown and dedicated Mo Zheng, and collected the people involved in the collections and notes of various families, and tied them in years", and wrote the "Shao Spectrum" in the twentieth year of the Republic of China. Due to the "1.28" incident, the original manuscript was reduced to ashes, and Mr. Banpo searched for corrections and reprinted it in the 21st year of the Republic of China.
20 years ago, the Chinese bookstore in Beijing held a large-scale old book market every year, once I accompanied Mr. Yang Chengkai to transfer the market book, he turned to a volume of the Republic of China lead book "Shao Eryun Chronology", persuaded me to buy it, but the spectrum worm moth is more serious, not to mention that in that period, I was not surprised by the typeset version, but Mr. Yang said that this spectrum of historical materials is of greater value, I listened to his advice, or bought it. Now I know from Mr. Zhu Jiong's "Afterword" that this twenty-one-year-old typeset edition of the Republic of China is indeed rare, which makes me grateful for Mr. Yang's advice.
In the past two years, I have been sorting out the literature related to the Siku Quanshu, and Mr. Eryun is one of the famous "Five Marching Juns" who edited the Siku Quanshu. And Zhao Tang also said in the "Miscellaneous Records of the Pavilion" that "four cloth clothes":
In The Middle of Qianlong, shang specially opened the Siku Quanshu Library and extended the group confucianism. Liu Wenzheng recommended Shao Xueshi Jinhan, Yu Wenxiang recommended Yu Xueshiji, Zhou Shu yongnian, Dai reviewed Dongyuan Yu Dynasty, Shang specially awarded Shao and other three people to edit, Dai was Shu Jishi, all supervised the repair of the Four Libraries, which was called "Four Cloth Clothes" Yun.
All this shows that Shao Jinhan played an important role in the completion of the Siku Quanshu, and Mr. Zhu Jiong's monograph made me know more details.
"The Complete Works of Lun Ming", written by Lun Ming, arranged by Dongguan Library
This book was donated to me by Mr. Li Bingqiu, director of Dongguan Municipal Library. Mr. Li Bingqiu is a member of the Standing Committee of the Dongguan Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the director of the Committee of Culture, Culture, History and Ethnic Religions, and two years ago, through Mr. Wen Bai's arrangement, I went to the township of Dongguan to find the former residence of Lunming, and the person who took me to search was Director Li Bingqiu. In our chat, he told me that I was compiling the Complete Works of Lun Ming, and now I finally saw the results, and I learned from the list of the compilation committee that Mr. Wang Yuguang, professor of the Department of Information Management in Beijing, Li Bingqiu and Li Donglai were the directors of the compilation committee, and most of the members of this committee were well-known experts in the industry, such as Mr. Zhu Qiang, director of Peking University Library, Mr. Cheng Huanwen, director of Sun Yat-sen University Library, Mr. Wu Xi, former director of Shenzhen Library, Mr. Ni Junming, director of Guangdong Provincial Zhongshan Library, and so on. It can be seen how strong the editorial board of the book is.
Regarding Lun Ming, as long as he is a lover of ancient books, everyone knows it, which is mainly due to the "Chronicle poems of the Books and Books Since the Xinhai" written by him, but in addition to this work, it seems that few people know what works he has been handed down, after the collection of so many experts of the committee, Lun Ming's works have as many as five major books, and reading the book allows me to have a further understanding of Mr. Lun Ming.
At the top of the list of books is the life of Lun Ming, some of which I have not paid attention to before, such as Lun Ming's grandfather Lun Mengqi was once a Wu Xiucai of Dongguan County, whose father Lun Chang had served as a zhi county in Shaanxi and other places, and was proficient in medicine, and also founded a hospital, and also built Yuxiu Academy in the local area, donating his own collection of books to the hospital. The last time I visited his hometown, I didn't see the academy, but I found the "Dengying Bridge" that Lun Chang took the lead in raising funds to build, and the "Silun Pavilion" he built.
Lun Chang had four sons, the second of whom was Lun Ming. At the age of 24, Lun Ming passed the examination for Guangxu for twenty-seven years, and the goodness of his father's collection of books also spread to him, which planted seeds for his lifelong dedication to the collection of classics. Lun Ming once worshiped Kang Youwei as a teacher, ranking twenty-fourth in the list of disciples of Wanmu Caotang, and Kang Youwei also had a good collection of books, which also had an influence on Lun Ming. For Lun Ming's achievements in catalogue versioning, Professor Sin Yuqing of Lingnan University has high praise for him: "In the past fifty years, the scholar who has been the richest and most proficient in the catalogue of cantonese books has been Mr. Lun Zheru of Dongguan. ”
Lun Ming has always been teaching as a profession, and it is obviously not easy to buy books with the income from the bundles, and he once said: "Yu Yi's poor ears, for example, into the forest of wine and meat, have been cold and hot, and have felt more than enough, let alone dare to chew." However, Lun Ming had his own methods, and during his tenure in the Department of Chinese Literature at Peking University, after the suggestion of the supplementer Wei Shi, he opened a used bookstore called Tongxue Zhai in Liulichang, and Wei told Lun Ming about the three advantages of opening a used bookstore: "Loading books is one, asking for books is easy to two, and buying books is cheap three." At that time, Lun Ming's ambition to continue the Four Libraries was grand, and opening a used bookstore was the best way for him to collect editions. According to Wei's words, it was easy to get books, and the other was cheap to get books, so he recruited Sun Dianqi from the Huiwenzhai Bookstore, and Sun Lai presided over the Tongxue Zhai, and trained Sun Dianqi to become a very famous catalog versionist.
At that time, Kang Youwei opened a Changxing Bookstore in Liulichang, which was responsible for Kang Youwei's disciple Zhang Bozhen, specializing in the sale of Kang Youwei Wanmu Caotang books, because Lun Ming was also Kang Youwei's disciple, so the Tongxue Zhai of that year also sold his teacher's works, after Kang Youwei's death, Changxing Bookstore declined rapidly, at that time Kang Youwei's royalist concept and academic outlook were no longer favored by readers, so his works were very slow to sell, but Lun Ming took the initiative to find Zhang Bozhen and took over the inventory of Changxing Bookstore. From this, we can see how Lun Ming has the way of respecting the teacher. Unfortunately, later Lun Ming returned to the south, and Tong xuezhai was also transferred to the name of Sun Dian. After Lun Ming's death, Tongxuezhai continued to operate until the time of the public-private partnership, when it was incorporated into the Chinese bookstore.
Regarding the situation of Lun Ming's lectures, the "Complete Works of Lun Ming" contains an interesting story told by Zhang Zhongxing in "Little Things in the Red Chamber":
Mr. Lun Zheru (Ming), who taught bibliography, was very knowledgeable, not only was he familiar with the scriptures and literature of the past, but he was also said to have seen and heard a lot of good books. But some things are confused. For example, if there is a bell ringing in class, he has never been clear, or he has not heard it, and he must be reminded to do it. He was also unclear about the amount of course content and the length of time taught, and when students sometimes asked, he replied, as usual: "I don't know." ”
It can be seen that Lun Ming is an original person, he only focuses on his favorite things, and other things are almost deaf, but such a rigid person, I turned to him in the Complete Works of Lun Ming and he wrote four poems called The Old, such as the first one:
Song Feast was afraid to ask Fang Ling, and the pink skeleton was shocked.
In the late festival, she lost herself as a merchant woman, and in vain she cherished Yunying.
It was difficult to pay off the debt of the fate flower, and the spring woman could not wake up in the dream.
Win the word people feel the same disease, the west wind Lanyuan hanging residue.
Why I wrote so many poems of the same title aroused my gossip heart, so I read these four poems carefully, which seemed to be ruthless, all lamenting the ecological difficulties of old prostitutes, which also showed how kind Lun was.
"On Semantic Neglect", written by (Liang) Huang Kan, edited by Ji Xiaodong
This book was donated by Mr. Ma Yanchao of Guangxi Normal University Publishing House, and is one of the "Mothology Series" of the society. In his "Notes on Photocopying", Mr. Ji Xiaodong briefly summarized the source of the book's editions, first talking about the bibliography of the "On Semantic Neglect" in the bibliography of previous dynasties, and then said:
During the Southern Song Dynasty, only Xing Shu circulated in Middle-earth, and Huang Kan's "Yi Shu" was not visible. The earliest record of this book circulating in Toei is Fujiwara Sase's Bibliography of Japan during the reign of Emperor Utah, written as "Ten Volumes of "On Semantic Neglect, Written by Emperor Kan", which was 889-897 AD, and it can be seen that Emperor Kan's "On Semantic Neglect" was introduced to Japan during the Tang Dynasty. Later, it was widely circulated in the form of banknotes, and after investigation by the Japanese scholar Shadow Mountain Huiguo, there are currently thirty-six Japanese banknotes that can be confirmed.
For these 36 Japanese banknotes, Ji Xiaodong listed them one by one in the "Explanation", of which 7 were hidden in the library and documentation department of the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, and these 7 old Japanese banknotes were all in Yang Shoujing's old collection. For the earliest of these editions, Ji Xiaodong said in the text that it was "written by Nemoto Sunshi from the Ashikaga School's hidden banknotes", and the way the book was copied has a detailed description:
Change the "On Semantic Sparseness" to "Analects collection interpretation of meaning", the asana is all based on Xing Shu, the first list of scriptures, the annotated text under it, crowned with "Note", and added an oval circle, the lower part is the Sparse Text, there is a "Sparse" character yin engraving and a circle, first sparse interpretation of the scriptures, the second interpretation of the annotations and the addition of the yin engraving of the "Annotation" word, in the interpretation of the scriptures, the annotations are surrounded by long grid lines.
Yang Shoujing once criticized the shortcomings of this version: "Emperor Ande's omission of old books, together with the Ming-style publications... Moreover, its text is based on the revision of his original and Xing's school, and it is also lost more and less. However, even so, after this version entered China during the Qianlong period, it became the base of many engraved copies:
This book was transmitted back to China during the Qianlong period, and scholars first saw the original appearance of Huang Kan's "On Semantic Neglect", successively including the "Four Libraries Quanshu", the Wuyingdian Ben, the Wang Qiwang Ben, the "Zhi Insufficient Zhai Series", the "Ancient Scripture Interpretation Letter" version, and the "Four Books Ancient Notes Qunyi Huihui Interpretation" version, the asana content or slight differences, but its source is the Fundamental Sunzhi Kuan Yan Three-Year Edition.
As for the origin of the original copy used in the photocopy of this book, Ji Xiaodong said in the "Explanation" that it was because in 1922, when the Japanese Osaka Huaitoku Hall was dedicated to the 2400th anniversary of Confucius, he proposed to proofread the Huang Kan's "On Semantic Neglect", and took the shi Huaide Hall lecturer Takeuchi Yoshio to do it. As for the person who sorted out this version and how to organize it, the "Notes" have the following explanations:
Yoshio Takeuchi ( Yoshio Takeuchi ) , courtesy name Yiqing , taught by Naoki Kano and Hunan Naito , and served as the "Imperial Household Of the Eastern Palace" during World War II , teaching the history of Chinese philosophy to the Emperor of Japan. Takeuchi's discipline was rigorous and adhered to the scholarly style based on literature, believing that "all classical studies must begin with two kinds of basic research, first, to obtain correct texts through proofreading; second, to clarify the origin of books and to strictly practice original criticism." "The Takeuchi clan took the nine-year version of civilization with a good beginning and tail and a clear era as the base, and then used ten ancient banknotes such as The Baodeben and other ten kinds of ancient banknotes, as well as Yoshida Huangdun's "Analects of the Analects of the Analects" and Ichino Mitsuru's "Records of the Analects of the Lithography" as the school, and finally became the ten volumes of the "On Semantic Neglect" and one volume of the "Collation Survey".
From a modern point of view, there are also problems with the "On Semantic Neglect" compiled by Takeuchi Yoshio, mainly because the fragments of the "On Semantic Neglect" in the Dunhuang Tibetan Scripture Cave at that time have not yet been discovered, after which Wang Chongmin inspected the fragment of Bo Xihe and took away in France, believing that the Dunhuang Tibetan Scripture Cave is the original appearance of Huang Kan's "On Semantic Neglect", for which Wang Chongmin believes: "The volume obtained by Yu is indeed the original form of Huang Kan, and its style is in line with the Single Sparse of the Tang Dynasty's "Five Classics of Justice", which is slightly inconsistent with the examination of the Wu Nei clan, so that the Wu Nei clan sees this. Then change its opinion slightly. However, Ji Xiaodong believes that Takeuchi Yoshio does not agree with Wang Chongmin's judgment:
Takeuchi Yoshio believes that the Li ji zi ben shuyi was written for the Six Dynasties, which predates the Dunhuang fragments as banknotes after the middle of the Li Tang Dynasty, so it is not taken for granted by Wang Chongmin. Takahashi compares it with the Muromachi period banknotes, believing that the Dunhuang script was adapted by a specific editor and was not the original appearance of the Emperor Kanyi. Mr. Li Fang, after a detailed comparison of the dunhuang version with the Huaide Tang ben's asanas, scriptures, notes, and shuwen, believes that the Dunhuang ben is by no means the original form of the emperor, but the outline of the lecture notes made by the Tang Dynasty preachers, and this view is agreed by most scholars.
The book also has Mr. Chen Dong of the Confucius Institute of Qufu Normal University's "Huang Kan 'On Semantic Neglect' and its Edition Sources", which clarifies the relationship between the various versions, and before this article, Mr. Chen Dong listed the relationship between the different versions of the book in the form of a chart, which seems to be the clearest and clearest. At the beginning of this article, Mr. Chen Dong gave this summary:
From a philological point of view, four of the annotative works of the Analects are the most important. The first is the "Analects of the Analects" compiled by Wei He Yan and others, which is the crystallization of the study of the "Analects" by scribes during the Two Han Dynasties and the Three Kingdoms period; the second is Liang Huangkan's "On Semantic Neglect", which includes the "Analects" played by the metaphysicians of the Wei and Jin Dynasties; the third is zhu Xi's "Analects of the Analects" of the Southern Song Dynasty, which is a collection of the essence of the "Analects" by the theorists of the two Song Dynasties; and the fourth is Liu Baonan's "Analects and Justices" of the Qing Dynasty, which is the culmination of the research results of the Qing Dynasty's examination of the "Analects".
Next, Chen Dong systematically ignored the particularity of the book, which first said: "Huang Kan's "On Semantic Neglect", regardless of form or content, is a 'strange thing' in the history of the interpretation of the Analects, a different existence. Such a serious sutra actually uses the word "strange" to describe it, and it must be a little peculiar to think that Huang Kan's way of writing it must be a little peculiar, according to Chen Dong's statement, that is, Huang Kan has absorbed the system of metaphysics and Buddhist discourse in the form of exegesis, and created the "righteous neglect" in the history of Confucianism. And what exactly is "righteous neglect", Chen Dong gave a popular explanation here:
"YiShu" has two major characteristics in terms of style, one is to divide into "sections", and the other is to set up questions and answers. The so-called sub-section refers to the deconstruction of the commentaries on the scriptures, and the explanations are divided into chapters and segments. There are three layers of sections in "On Semantic Neglect": sub-chapters, sub-chapters, and sub-sections. Sub-chapters, that is, twenty articles, under each title, the emperor must have a commentary, explaining the reason for "all the sub-formers". Huang Kan believed that the arrangement of the twenty chapters of the Analects was of great significance. Chapters are divided into chapters, and the purpose of the chapters is explained after each chapter. Finally, there are segments. For example, in the Zi Zhang Chapter, "Where there are twenty-four chapters, it is divided into five paragraphs." The shortest "Yao Yue Chapter" is also divided into three chapters, and the first chapter is divided into "five parts".
As for the characteristics of the "section" written by Huang Kan, Chen Dong summed it up as "those who are juxtaposed before and after the verses of the scriptures must speak of their order", and he believes that another strange point of the Emperor Kan's interpretation of the Analects is that he "accuses Confucianism from the position of the Interpreter", but even so, Huang Kan still believes that Confucius is not a mortal, because his realm is far beyond mortals. However, mortals dream, if Confucius is not a mortal, he should not dream, but in the Analects of Shuer, Confucius claimed that "I no longer dream of seeing Zhou Gongye", since "I no longer dream", indicating that there were still dreams before, so how to interpret this contradiction? In the interpretation made by Huang Kan, the explanation given is: "The saint is hanging in the picture, and there is no dream." And the cloud dreamer, the same thing and show the decline of the cause also. Therefore, Li Chong said: The saint has no thoughts, what dreams do he have? Covering the decline of Zhou De, mourning the inability of Taoism, so he sent his condolences to dreams and sighed at the birds.
For Huang Kan's interpretation, Chen Dong's interpretation is: "Whether a saint has a dream is not a problem for traditional Confucianism, but because Zhuangzi said that "people have no dreams", it must be explained from the perspective of a metaphysician. The saints did not have dreams, but in order to behave like others, they claimed to have dreams. ”
For the peculiar way of writing "On Semantic Neglect" and its intrinsic value, Chen Dong's summary in the preface is:
The Analects of Huang Kan's YiShu depict a vivid, ethereal, colorful, and illusory world without the stubbornness of a scribe, without the serious fabrication of a theoretician, without the boredom of a scholar. This may be the reason why Huang Kan's "On Semantic Neglect" is still being read by people in today's world.
When Chen Dong was shu liing about the version of Emperor Kan's Yi Shu, he said that Chen Zhensun's "Solution to the Problem of the Records of zhizhai" had been lost, which showed that the book was gradually lost after the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty. In the early years of Qianlong, Yu Xiaoke found only six texts from the Classic Interpretations, the Book of Ming, and other documents, and then included them in the "Ancient Classics of The Interpretation of the Hook and Sink", and in the twenty-sixth year of Qianlong, Zhai Hao, the author of the "Four Books examination", and his friend Hang Shijun went to the home of Wang Qishu, a great bibliophile in Hangzhou, to read books, where they saw the "Supplement to the Seven Classics of Mencius Examination Classics" written by Yamai Ding, and learned that Huang Kan's "On Semantic Neglect" was still in Japan. In the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong, Wulin Wang Peng went to Japan and purchased the Analects of the Analects. In the thirty-seventh year of Qianlong, the emperor issued an edict to the world to collect a suicide note to compile the "Four Libraries Complete Book", and the envoy Wang Qiwang set up a suicide note office in Zhejiang Province, and Wang Peng dedicated the book, which Wang Qiwangjin presented to the Sikuguan, and the book was thus included in the "Four Libraries Quanshu".
In fact, Wang Qiwang also knew the value of the book, and while he presented the original Japanese engraving to the Sikukan, he engraved one in the form of a towel box, and at that time he asked Bao Tingbo to serve as a proofreader. In the forty-seventh year of Qianlong, Wang Qiwang committed suicide for corruption, and the original version of this towel box belonged to Bao Tingbo, who brushed the book again and incorporated it into the seventh episode of the "Insufficient Knowledge of The Zhai Series", and before it was incorporated, Bao Tingbo shoveled the name of Wang Qiwang engraved at the beginning of the volume, and then the book was circulated in the academic circles.
However, at that time, many scholars had doubts about the authenticity of the "Analects of the Analects", and the corresponding controversy, Chen Dong also described in the text, interested friends can look at this solid introduction article, and the book is equivalent to explaining why the photocopy of "On Semantics" should be based on the lead typetype of the 12th Year of Taisho Hall Memorial Meeting in Japan.
"Father's Voice", by Zhu Chuanrong
This book was donated by Teacher Zhu Chuanrong, the book in many pages, from many angles to tell the life deeds of her father Mr. Zhu Jiaxuan, the book has Mr. Zhao Heng's "Preface", "Preface" is followed by "Brief Description of Family Lineage", Zhu Chuanrong according to the genealogy records, the Xiaoshan Zhu clan traced back to the Tang Dynasty, and then said that her father Zhu Fengbiao, who was a senior ancestor, came to Beijing to serve after he obtained the first and second jinshi from Xiaoshan in the twelfth year of Qing Daoguang, and since then there has been a branch of the Beijing Zhu clan.
Zhu Chuanrong's book is not written in biographical form, but uses many fragments to show various aspects of Mr. Zhu Jiaxuan, such as her quotation from Mr. Qi Gong's speech at Zhu Jiayun's memorial service in October 2003:
My maternal grandfather's family and Mr. Zhu's maternal grandfather's family have a family friendship. My mother's sister (Rong Qi) is Mr. Zhu's maternal grandfather (Zhang Rendi) and Kejuye (Za) teacher, my first mother and Mr. Zhu's mother often play together, and the friendship between the two children playing together is the strongest and friendliest.
Zhu Chuanrong talked about the fact that because of the relatives between the big family, she herself could not say the specific way of calling some relatives, and it was from Mr. Qi Gong's speech that she clearly understood the friendship between the Zhu family and the Qi family. And I learned from the text that Zhao Yuanfang is Zhu Chuanrong's uncle, Mr. Zhao is famous for collecting Ming Dynasty copper movable scripts, most of his collection of books were donated to the Beijing Library, and I also got a few of them, at that time did not think about the relationship between Zhao Yuanfang and Zhu Jialu, Zhu Chuanrong also mentioned that Shen Zhaokui was Zhao Yuanfang's teacher, and the original manuscript of Shen Zhaokui's book catalog was hidden in Hanzhai.
Zhu Chuanrong casually said these familiar characters in the book, which really made me envious. In this book, she also mentions the early establishment of the publishing house in the Forbidden City, an experience that I have never noticed before:
Founded in 1957, the Heritage Press Printing House has a reputation for nearly half a century for its fine copper and chromotype printing. In particular, the "Song Ren Picture Album" published in 1957, the "Collection of Porcelain in the Palace Museum" published in 1962, and the "Selected Paintings of Flowers and Birds in the Palace Museum" published in 1965 are the most famous, becoming the peak in the history of printing.
As for the source of the publishing house, Zhu Chuanrong said that after Zheng Zhenduo became the director of the Cultural Relics Bureau in 1949, he wanted to build a high-quality publishing house in Beijing in order to publish the collection of the Forbidden City, at that time, the best printing enterprises were in Shanghai, so in 1952, Zheng Zhenduo entrusted Liu Zhemin of the Shanghai Publishing Company to understand the local situation, and the feedback he got was that Lu Wenbo's open text plate making level was the highest, so Zheng Zhenduo hired this person to Beijing with a high salary and built a printing house, and in 1955, Lu Wenbo produced a single page of the "Song Ren Album", and in 1957 published the hardcover edition of the "Song Ren Picture Book", which was the peak of the printing level of this album at that time, which made the book popular all over the world. In the preface to the "Album of The Song Dynasty", Zheng Zhenduo also pointed out the contributions made by Lu Wenbo and others to this end: "The merits of selecting paintings are mainly Zhang Heng and Xu Bangda; the work of printing is always presided over by Lu Wenbojun." The success of this "Album of the Song Dynasty" is inseparable from the efforts of several of them and many of the staff engaged in it. ”
I write this history because I have an indirect relationship with it. More than twenty years ago, at a small auction in Neptune Village, I saw several original copper plates, and because of my familiarity with the Song Ren Album, I obviously felt that these were some of the copper plates of the book, but this thing did not attract the attention of other buyers, so I bought it back at a very cheap reserve price. At that time, I bought these copper plates purely out of curiosity, because I had not touched the original copper plates before, and now that I read Zhu Chuanrong's book, we learned that these copper plates were carved by Lu Wenbo himself.
When the printing factory moved from Shanghai to Beijing that year, it caused a lot of controversy, because the original owner Lu Wenbo's monthly salary was as high as 600 yuan, which in the 1950s, almost exceeded the salary income of almost everyone. Zhu Chuanrong quoted the old Forbidden City people in the article, when the salary of the premier of the State Council was only 400 yuan. However, judging from the quality of the "Song People's Picture Album", the Forbidden City spent a high salary to introduce this person, and did not spend unjust money, because the publication of the "Song People's Picture Album" made people see what is the top print. And Lu Wenbo can carve such an exquisite copper plate, which has a lot to do with his wrist bottom work, Zhu Chuanrong just wrote about this in this book: "Mr. Lu is famous for breaking his wrist, and he has never lost anyone in the courtyard." And not peers, but juniors. The reason for this is the kung fu cultivated in the copper plate all his life, the steady and lasting control. ”
In Zhu Chuanrong's book, it is more about the various life deeds of Mr. Zhu Jiaxuan, which make me feel very kind when reading them. More than twenty years ago, Mr. Zhu Jiayun was invited by the relevant parts to tianjin Lishunde Hotel to hold a lecture, I also went to listen to the lecture, that period of art auction just emerged, the people present in the audience except me, basically are large money, Mr. Zhu Lao whispered about the history of cultural relics, the knowledge he talked about makes some large money difficult to understand, they proposed on the spot, can you talk about it in a popular way, I saw Mr. Zhu groaned a little, and turned to tell some palms related to cultural relics, and his face did not change at all. I was extremely impressed by the old gentleman's cultivation.
A few years later, through the Introduction of Mr. Weng Lianxi of the Forbidden City Library, I went to the Forbidden City to visit Mr. Zhu Jiaxuan, the old man's office is not large, it is full of various items, so I have learned that Xiaoshan Zhu's Inscriptions are known in the world, and most of these inscriptions were donated to the Forbidden City, so I dared to tell Mr. Zhu that I also had the good of the Tibetan Inscriptions, and then mentioned several books that I thought I was proud of, Mr. Zhu praised my collection, of course, I knew that his praise was more of an encouragement. And I took the opportunity to ask the old man to write me a hall number for the tibetan stele, at that time I named it "Graphite Stick", Mr. Zhu thought that this number was not good, and later he wrote to me as "Pleasant Feeling Graphite", to this day, this hall number is still hanging on the lintel of the stele room of the Han Zhai, every time I see this plaque, Mr. Zhu's earnest teaching attitude will appear in front of me.
"Ancient and Modern Female Fan", written by Ming Feng Ruzong, supervised by Liu Yu, Zhang Yanyan and Feng Song
This book is 32 open, hardcover color printing two volumes, is Mr. Liu Yu gift, the front page of the book is printed with the words "Ten Years of Zhiqing", from which it can be seen that the book is a souvenir of the tenth anniversary of the establishment of Taihe Jiacheng Auction Co., Ltd., the front of the book indicates that a total of 300 copies were printed, and the 182nd one was given to me. In the afterword to this book, it is listed that the company compiles one such monument every year, the first of which is the "Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons and Seven Heroes Popular Interpretation of the Chronicles of the Nations", the bottom of which is now in hanzhai and has become the vanguard of the Taihe Jiacheng series. And Brother Liu Yu only gave me No. 182, which made me feel greatly embarrassed, not to mention, of the ten kinds of it, there are several of them I saw the title of the book quite strange, I wanted to condemn him for forgetting my first achievement, thinking about it, maybe it is caused by my gradual forgetting, it seems that he also gave it to me, but I don't know where it is stuffed, it seems that I did not realize Mr. Liu Yu's perseverance, he can persist for ten years, all the way out, and predict that next year's spring auction will produce the eleventh, so inference, this series will be long, This immediately hooked my collecting habits, so I shouted here: Mr. Liu Yu, you must give me a full set, otherwise, I will come to the door of your company and roll around.
When I think of this prank, I am happy, and suddenly feel that it is not in line with the style of the book in front of me, because this book is called "Female Fan", and all the books written are the daughters of ancient sages, although there is no "Male Fan" book in history, but I still have to pay attention to the image, so I made up my mind to draw nourishment from "Female Fan" in order to make myself a virtuous and virtuous man. In fact, about twenty years ago, I had already bought a copy of "Female Fan Compilation", and later learned that the book was sent by Mr. Huang Jian in Suzhou, and he told me afterwards that the reserve price of this book was actually not set high, because it came cheaply, but even so, that book was the first time on the market to see it, and I still did not regret it at a high price. Today, the film that Taihe Jiacheng auctioned was sold for more than 1.78 million yuan, and this is several times the price of the book I got, which is a big relief to me. Although some people say that this part of Tai and Jia Cheng's shooting is slightly better than what I got, as the saying goes, my wife is the good of others, and the book is my own good, I still continue to cherish myself. But since there is such a story, I think Liu Yu wants to send me at least the first five of this book, but he actually ignores that I have such a cause with this book, which makes me categorically deny his good intention of giving me the book.
However, I suddenly thought of the phrase "give someone a rose, and have a lingering fragrance in his hand", uh, I thought of the relationship between the guest of honor and the guest in reverse, it should be that he has the afterscent in his hand, not me. Here do not argue whose hand is more fragrant, and the exquisite illustrations in the "Female Fan Compilation" really remind me of the heroism of "Lan Er Qiao in the southeast Xi, happy day and night", although Mr. Liu Yu gave me a photocopy, slightly unsatisfactory, but after all, in recent decades, there have only been two "Female Fan Compilations" on the market, and now the original version and the photocopy are placed together, and it is also close to the two beautiful tools emphasized by the ancients, from this point of view, we should also thank Brother Liu for his good intentions. What's more, in his preface to the book, he made a brief omission of the value of the book, which also allowed me to see it widely, first stating:
The four volumes of the Female Fan Compilation, also known as the Ancient and Modern Female Fan, Ming Huang Shangwen Collection, Cheng Boyang Painting, Huang Yingrui, Huang Yingtai engraving. Inscribed between the Ming Dynasty and the Wanli Dynasty. Four sides one-sided, white mouth, nine lines and two crosses. It is a book from the mother of King Wu of Zhou to the wife of Zou Yuanbiao in the Ming Dynasty, a total of 120 typical feudal female religious figures are selected, and each of them sets up a biography and draws a picture, which is a fine work in the Ming Dynasty Huipai printmaking.
For the editor of this book, Huang Shangwen, and the illustrator Cheng Boyang, he wrote in the preface:
Huang Shangwen was the 26th generation of the Huang clan in Shexian County, Huizhou, Ming Dynasty. Gongshu, Xiao Kai Xingcao is deeply rooted in the meaning of the Orchid Pavilion and the Holy Order, and the Painting of Yougong. The illustrator Cheng Boyang, with very few historical records, according to the (Qing) Cao Rong compilation of "Small Biographies of The Ming People", "Cheng Boyang, Sheren. Wang Zhongfangyun: 'The Taoist family sells medicine for self-sufficiency'. The poems are more exuberant, and the contemplatives are self-absorbed. ”
And for the engraving of the book, it is also called:
Huang Yingrui, Zi Bofu, his younger brother Ying Tai, Zi Zhongkai. All are outstanding representatives of Huang's print engraving workers in Huizhou Village. The brothers are good at engraving pictures, and the works are delicate and slender, rich and elegant. Huang Yingrui has engraved "Daya Tang Miscellaneous Dramas", "Zhu Fenglin Collection", "Four Voices Ape", "Xiao Caiju Yinyin", "Brahma Meitu", "Mo Hai", "Life Double Cultivation Of The Ten Thousand Gods Guizhi", "The New Compilation of Secret Biographies of Kan Public Opinion Class" Tiangongbao, co-engraved with Huang Yingtai and others "Ancient and Modern Female Fantu", "Zhuangyuan Tu kao", co-engraved with Huang Yingxiang (Ying Rui's second brother) "Covered Collection", co-engraved with Ying Xiang, Yizhong (Ying Ruizi) and other "Bo Fan Tu Shu", and "Cheng Zhu Que Li Zhi" and "Taishi Yang Fusuo's Witness Compilation" with others. In addition to the books co-engraved by Huang Yingtai and his brother, there are also books such as "Emperor Jian Tu Shu" and "Fang's Ink Spectrum" and "Cheng's Ink Garden" co-engraved with Huang Lin and others.
The Huizhou Huang Brothers inscription is extremely famous, and so many famous works are from the hands of their families, which is indeed impressive. And the "Preface" of the book also quotes Zheng Zhenduo's "Ancient and Modern Female Fan" written in the "Western Sayings":
Nai Qian obtained four volumes of ancient and modern female fans, and once held them to show Yu. Nearly 200 paintings, painted by Cheng Boyang, Huang Yingtai, Huang Yingrui (Bo Fu) Kunzhong, the lines are as fine as hair, soft as silk, is one of the best prints of the Hui school. Yu thirsts for it, and often thinks of it as a word, but he does not want to see it. Later, I also saw this book in The same copy of this book at Mr. Wang Xiaoci of Beiping, and the printed version is the same. Never seen elsewhere. Repeated visits, none of them. For more than ten years, I have not forgotten this book for a moment. Ding Ugly Winter, the nationalist army retreated westward, Nai Qian suddenly held this book, wanting to take Yimi. Yu was overjoyed. Make every effort to raise funds to respond to them. Half a month's worth of grain. Not to mention. The dou room took refuge, and with this "heroic move", he was surprised that the rise of the book collection had not declined slightly. A few days later, after passing through the Chinese bookstore, I got three fragments of female Fan compilation in the pile of random books.
It seems that it is not easy to get such a book during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chen Naiqian has a copy of the book, which was shown to Zheng Zhenduo, and the exquisite prints in the book made Mr. Zheng's eyes bright, but unfortunately Chen Naiqian is also a person who loves books, and he is unwilling to transfer the book to Zheng in any case, more than ten years later, because of the lack of living resources caused by the war, Chen Naiqian took the initiative to give the book to Zheng Zhenduo, and it is interesting that a few days after Zheng bought the book, he found three fragments in the pile of broken books in the Chinese bookstore. Regarding the condition of this fragment, Zheng Zhenduo wrote another article:
This book, huang shangwen ancient and modern female fan, has three surviving volumes, and the first volume is missing one volume. The price is very cheap, so it is recovered. Later, the signatures of Cheng Boyang and Huang Kunzhong were all dug up, and the names of Liu Jinhuang, Liu Yucheng, Liu Zhenzhi, and Liu Rusheng were added, and Liu Shi got his board and hid themselves. At the end, Liu Yiren, Wu's Festival, Tianyou Shuangjie, Jienu Liu's and Zhenlie's Wang's number were added, all of which were related to Liu's. However, the figure of the added number is also elegant and refined, comparable to the Huang family.
It seems that the set of books has been transferred to his home in the Ming Dynasty, so there have been new changes in the signature, and several prints have been added, which shows that the original and re-brushed editions of the book are worth collecting. The fact that Taihe Jiacheng Company can photocopy and publish the book can give collectors more comparative information, and in this regard, Mr. Liu Yu has made great contributions.
