Chen Kangqi has the following record of Li Fu's book collection in the "Chronicle of Lang Qian": "Li Zhongfu, when he was fuwu Zhejiang, received extremely rich books, and for a time the rare books were entered into CaoCang, and each volume had a picture record, that is, 'once at Li Lushan', the later fate of the litigation system, the group of books scattered, people think that the words of the seal, but also reached." ”
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Jiangnan had the most abundant collection of books, Li Fu served as the governor of Zhejiang, such a high-ranking official, of course, it was most convenient to collect books in the local area, so for its book collection, Chen Kangqi used the word "extremely rich" in the text to describe, and said that the local rare books that appeared on the market basically belonged to Li Fu. And Chen Kangqi also deliberately pointed out that Li Fu had a chapter in the collection of books as "Once at Li Lu Mountain", and Lu Shan was Li Fu's number, which can also be seen that Li Fu has a good view of the collection of books, and has the freedom that I once had in my eyes. Unfortunately, because he was involved in a lawsuit, most of his collection was scattered, and the reason for the scattering, Chen Kangqi said, was because of Li Fu's collection of books: since it was "once" that is, in the past tense, its subtext is now owned by others, which is the unfortunate words of the present person.
In fact, many people have carved similar chapters, such as the big bibliophile Zhou Shutao has a party "once in Zhou Shutao", although most of the old collections of Han Zaitang belong to the public library, but if you take the private collection theory, to this day, which big bibliophile's old collection is not basically in the public library. Therefore, the expression of the Indian text is not unique to Li Fu. What's more, Li Fu's book collection is not only on this side; the "Biography of a Collector in Fujian" edited by Wang Changying and Huang Zhaotan quotes the reporter Lin Qiuming's research, which mentions that in the manuscript of Li Fu's "Juyetang Poetry Manuscript" that exists in the Fujian Normal University Library, there are many li Fu's book seals: "The seal of Li Fu's collection not only has 'once been at Li Lushan', but also 'Lushan Li Fu', 'Xintian Jushi', 'Juyetang', 'Passing Through the Clouds', 'Not Greedy Treasures', 'Life Is Not Self-Conspiratorial', 'Books Are Not Desired', 'Books Are Not Desired', ' The book is confused', 'See the guest only to ask for a loan of books', 'Fuzhou Li Er Envoy', 'Official Greed Qi', 'Bishan Gezang Secretary', 'Yurong Hanmo' and other seals. ”
"Decree of the Approval of the Imperial Decree" Within the 10th year of Qing Yongzheng to the three years of Qianlong, the government engraved a Zhu Mo overprint, and the signature had the name of Li Fu
However, Chen Kangqi's remarks are cited by later generations, and most people ignore Li Fu's other Tibetan seals, specifically pointing out a seal that "once was at Li Lu Mountain", and I also had a party that "once was in Wei Li's house", but I was not worried about the words of the seal. I most admire the 170-word seal of bibliophile Sun Wenchuan, which I have mistakenly written by others in the past, so I quote the full text of the seal here as follows:
Baohan is hanging in the autumn, and no one has a hundred years of life.
Play and talk about self-entertainment, and collect it for a long time.
I smelled Tang Du Xian and wrote the inscription at the beginning of the book.
It is not filial piety, but it belongs to posterity.
I also heard Zhao Wuxing, after composing a poem inscription.
But it is forbidden to buy in other rooms, and it is forbidden to abandon it and not to take it.
Ergong sincerely loves books, and I mean no.
The descendants are phoenix, and the love of the ancient will be thick.
I love Pi Pi more preciously, and search into clusters of ferns.
If I leave a mussel, he can find his own analysis.
If the descendants are like guinea pigs, the pressure frame has been lonely.
Burn or burn, discard more covered.
Special objects are slighted, and the thieves are blamed.
It is better to pay the reward sound, and then attack the heavy Yao Jiu.
The title increases the brilliance and makes the immortal.
From the world's treasures, may as well have the world.
But good luck, don't fall into the hands of laymen.
As Sun Wenchuan said, many historical classics have been passed into their hands for thousands of years, and few people can live more than a hundred years, if these historical classics can really be as the bibliophiles expect to have descendants and grandchildren, then why do many books have stacked on top of each other, and then they can reach their own hands. This shows that gathering and dispersing is the norm, and there must be dispersion, as long as the classics can be passed down forever, why care whose hands it eventually reaches. This is also just as Sun Wenchuan said that the treasures of the world are shared in the world, and it is better for his beloved books to fall into the hands of his descendants, so it is better to scatter them and get them for the book lovers, as long as they do not fall into the hands of the world, it is already a great fortune. Li Fu has the same feeling of collecting books, which is what he deserves to be appreciated, and there is no need to explain it with the word "seal".
"Decree of the Approval of the Emperor" Qing Yongzheng ten years to Qianlong three years ago carved Zhu Mo overprint, inner page
Xu Shu also recorded Li Fu's collection of books in the "Qing Barnyard Banknotes", and his subsection title was "Li Lushan's Collection of Many Rare Books", which shows the high level of his book collection and has been widely concerned by later generations. The full text of Xu Shi's section reads: "When Quanzhou Li Zhongcheng Fu fued Zhejiang, he received extremely rich books. A moment of good books, qi into the Cao Cang. Each volume has an illustration of the lilu mountain. ”
This passage is basically copied from the "Lang Qianji", but he just removed the words of the seal in the original source, which also shows Xu Shu's Daguan, so as to show that he did not believe the seal of Chen Kangqi's words.
Regarding Li Fu's life, the Qianlong edition of the Fuzhou Fuzhi says: "Li Fu, the word Rujia. Fuqing people. Kangxi Jia zi raised people. In addition to serving as a member of the Ministry of Works, he was transferred to langzhong of the Punishment Department. Yi Zhi Jiu Men Viceroy Tao and Instrument Prison had a voice and went out to guard Chongqing County. After the turmoil, Tian Fu did not have an examination. Rich and clear acres, encroaching on the evil interest. Moved the river to the east of the transport envoy, transferred Su Song Chang town road, Jin Jiangsu according to the inspection. The government has arrested and punished the traitors, and there are more than 100 people. Fu examines those who have wronged and abused them, and releases them in vain. Transferred to Anhui Province, patrolled Zhejiang. When there is a drought, please cut off 200,000 people, the people do not know hunger. Again, cao rice uses white grain. Please use both red and white, and the people will be convenient. He went to office as a misguided subordinate. Fu Jia Su Feng, righteous gains, will be brave to do it. In the official name of honesty and prudence, the family fell in the middle and returned to the field for twenty years. Borrow a house to perch, pleasant and natural. With the scholar Doctor Wenjiu also past, more than eighty years old, heavy feast deer singing. A few more years. ”
This passage is mainly a record of Li Fu's political affairs, which shows that Li is a capable official. The Jiaqing edition of the "Great Qing Unification Chronicle" also contains his political achievements: "Li Fu, Zi Ru Jia, Fu Qing Ren, Kangxi Jia Zi Ju ren, from the punishment department Lang Zhong to chongqing, after the county was in turmoil, Tian Fu Wu Kao, Fu Lu Mu Qing Wen, encroached on the evil interest, moved to Jiangsu according to the envoys, the government to control the traitors, more than a hundred people, Fu Cha his wrongdoers, do their best to release themselves, promote Zhejiang inspectors, when the drought is high, please intercept 200,000, the people do not know hunger." Also, the rice is used as an example of white grain, and the red and white are used at the same time, and the people are convenient. In the official yi lianshen said, returned to the field for twenty years, borrowed a house to return, and returned with the scholar and the master, more than eighty years old. ”
As for why Li Fu provoked the lawsuit, most of the information is unknown, and Li Keshan has the following statement in the "Preface to Sending Mr. Li Lushan to Fuzhou": "Mr. Li of Lushan, having relieved zhejiang fuzhi of his appointment, lives in Wumen. Emperor Shizong ordered the attendant Huang Gong to repair the Songjiang Sea Pond. Mr. Loan Money to the Treasury to serve, to produce into the official, not enough to pay, so left behind and did not return. Today the Son is on the throne, inviting grace and forgiveness, and being an official, and the husband is returning to his hometown. Mr. Gai is more than seventy years old. Mr. Fuqing of Fujian, for the giant clan, spare the capital. After passing through the eunuchs, he went to the family to be trapped to provide food. Not only the dissolution of the group is more and more tired, the sea and pond work are completed, and the funds are exhausted. alack! Sir can be described as poor. ”
It can be seen from this that Li Fu was originally a Member of the Fuqing Wang clan, and it was precisely because he went bankrupt because he took out a loan to build a river pond for the Songjiang River, and in the place where he worked, the loan for the local contribution was actually repaid by his own person, so that the family declined. It can be seen how Li Fu takes public office as his duty, but it is always touching for good people to get such results, but it is good that Li Fu is a man of great view, even if he is bankrupt due to public duty, he can still enjoy himself happily, Li Keshan wrote in the "Preface": "Mr. Li Fu is super intellectual, yu Lu has ascended to the throne and has a lot of mind, although he is in danger and has no relatives. On wumen day, the taste does not hold up the fire all day long, and the song is free, and the hand is not released. Guo Yi passed mr. Sumi's house, and Gu Jun was present, and Mr. Gu Zhizhi said: "Today I don't know where Somi is. ’”
At that time, Li Fu was so poor that even eating was a problem, but he could still read and write poetry, which showed how obsessed he was with books. As for his mentality of collecting books, Wang Changying and Huang Zhaotan wrote in the "Biography of a Bibliophile in Fujian": "When Li Fu was serving as an inspector in Zhejiang, he carefully searched for rare books that had been lost to the people, and for a while the rare books were all entered his home. By the time Li Fu returned home, his sleeves were fresh, and the only books in the box were books. He was extremely obsessed with books and expressed it in his poems. For example, 'The grass is always not removed in the window, and the sac is empty against the death of the camp book.' Sven's habit is difficult to digest, and he is afraid that his predecessor is a silverfish. ''The white head is poor and strong, and the green lamp is old and the end of the arrow.'' Reading the world coldly looked at the three-foot sword, and Zhai Xin was quiet on a bed of books. Li Fu has traveled through mountains and rivers, and even on the way to travel, he also pays attention to collecting and buying rare books and ancient books. ”
However, there is little mention of his book collection in the main history, which shows that the collection of books was not regarded as an important matter by the officials in the era of Li Fu, but fortunately, in the "Re-compilation of Fujian Tongzhi", he talked about his collection of books: "With the Fuzhou prefect Gu Zhuo advocating the Pingyuan Poetry Society, the literature and wine were returned, and he enjoyed himself happily. Good collection of books, many rare books. Heavy feast Lu Ming, aged eighty-four. And Guo Baicang's "Ten Days of Bamboo Words" also mentions the wealth of Li Fu's book collection: "Li Fu, zi Ru jia, Fu Qing ren, Yu's brother also." Udonnaidae. Kangxi Jiazi raised a person, a former official zhejiang inspector, a man and a humble man, so that there is a virtuous voice, the family collection is very rich, Qianlong Jiazi feasted on Lu Ming, eighty-four years old, there is "Li Lushan Collection". ”
Li Fu could only stay in the Suzhou area for a long time due to the exhaustion of his family wealth, and in his later years he received the emperor's forgiveness and was once again appointed as an official, while At this time, Li Fu was more than seventy years old, and he could only resign and return to his hometown. Although most of the books in the collection have been sold, there are still many preserved, and he brought the old collection back to his hometown. After returning to his hometown, Li Fu reorganized his old residence and built a place for the collection of books, one of which was called the Pen Mountain Pavilion. Regarding his return to his hometown to build a library, Gao Rong and Zhang Meizhen wrote in the article "Li Fu and His Collection":
However, the Dictionary of Chinese Bibliophiles states that he "stayed in Wuzhong for 14 years, swimming between the Nine Immortals Wushi and the Nanjiang West Gorge, collecting rare books of ancient books." "The difference of one word, the fallacy of a thousand miles, because the Nine Immortals Wushi, that is, the two mountains in the three mountains of Fuzhou, and the sentence "Between the Nine Immortals Wushi Nanjiang Gorge", the original text see Shen Wen's "Send Li Lushan Dazhong Cheng To Return to Li", the whole sentence is "Once you still return to your hometown, travel between the Nine Immortals Wushi Nanjiang Gorge, happy to be able to reach the end!" ”
In fact, for this matter, Ye Changchi quoted Shen Wenwu in the "Chronicle of The Book" in the "Preface to sending Li Lushan Dazhong to return to Li": "Li Gong of Fuzhou, the weak crown is the name of filial piety. He was known as the official Xi Cao (西曹), known for abiding by the law. He served as the deputy of the Xian Dynasty to Shu, moved to Jiangzuo, served as the governor of Jin, and opened the capital in Zhejiang. He was dismissed from the group and went to the official, and stayed with Wu Wu for four years. Ding Weixia returned to Fuzhou. Thirty years after going home, once he still returns to his hometown, he travels between the Nine Immortals Wushi Nanjiang Gorge, and his happiness can be great! ”
From this preface, it can be seen that the sentence spoken in the Dictionary of Chinese Bibliophiles is the preface from this book, but the author did not notice that this was after Li Fu returned to Fuzhou.
