Most of the Rare Books of the Song And Yuan Ming in the Hunan Library are from the Ye clan of Changsha. Ye's original hometown was Suzhou, the Qingxian Fenghong Yang Taiping Campaign, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were rotten, Xiangzhong was more stable, Suzhou Ye clan moved into Hunan at this time, settled in Xiangtan, and then opened various shops in Changsha and lived in Changsha. After Guangxu, his clan Wen Wei rose up, and his family was very loud, especially Ye Dehui was the most famous. Ye Dehui (1864-1927), the character Huan Bin, the number of Zhishan, also signed the Garden. In the eighteenth year of Qing Guangxu (1892), he entered the priesthood and was appointed as the chief of the official department, and the following year he resigned from the official and returned to Xiang, engaged in writing, and now has the "Complete Book of Qiuyuan" in the world. His protégé Liu Zhaoyu(郋園讀書序序) said that he "inherited the books of the ancestors, and devoted himself to forty years of hard work, and all the four important books were collected from Hongfu and filled with cabinets." ...... The works are equal to those in the Qunjing, the Primary School, the B Department, and the Book of the Hundred Families, all of which are flooded through the Hongtong, and the implications that have not been issued before. And in the study of the catalog version, sleep feed dozens of cold and hot summers." He also took huge sums of money and vigorously purchased the collection, and by the time of his death, he already had a collection of more than 200,000 volumes, and together with the Daozhou He clan, the Baling Fang clan, and the Xiangtan Yuan clan, they were known as the four major bibliophiles in Hunan at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
Ye Dehui studied the scriptures, especially the fine version, and his book "Shulin Qing Dialect" is still a necessary book for the desk of those who treat ancient documents. However, he believes that his biographical works are "The Ancient Training of Explaining Words in Shuowen" and "Four Libraries of The Whole Book of Banben Examination" as the two major compilations. Ye Dehui was extremely reactionary politically, and his life was decadent, and he was the head of the inferior gentry in Changsha at that time. During the climax of the Peasant Revolution in Hunan in 1927, he was mean and sarcastic to the people, and finally died in April 1927. At the time of Ye's death, his books were confiscated and transferred to the Provincial Zhongshan Library (now the Hunan Library) at the proposal of Liu Zhixun, then secretary general of the Provincial Agricultural Association, and his residence Guan Gutang was also accepted as the site of the library. Later, due to the "Ma Ri Incident", the matter was not resolved. His books were still recovered by his son Ye Qi, but at that time the collection had lost a lot. In June 1927, the No. 24 of the Liaodong Poetry Circle, which was run by the Japanese, published a letter from Ye Qizuo to Song Qi, a member of Ye Dehui's men, saying that at that time, "all the books in the house, as well as gold and stone, calligraphy and paintings, bronzes, manuscripts, the application of gold, silver, pearls, jade, clothes and utensils, etc., were robbed by them." Only a few books, inscriptions, and book editions remain in the home, which are used by the Zhongshan Library. Now I am sorry for my friends to dredge up, so I have not moved elsewhere, and the residence has been used as the site of the museum and an office has been set up to manage it. Some people have heard that there are scattered, and the family has collected Song Yuan and rare books, and there are very few of them." In 1929, Ye Qizuo planned to sell all of Ye's books after the disaster, and after repeated consultations between Fu Xiongxiang, director of the Hunan Provincial Zhongshan Library, and Ye Qizuo, and the Provincial Department of Education hired a special person to organize an appraisal committee to appraise and value the books, and petitioned the provincial government to allocate 30,000 yuan for acquisition. At that time, the main Xiang ruler was Lu Diping, who used his wealth to have the miserliness of Zhou Gong, and even took this as a matter of no hurry, and only allocated 3,000 yuan to purchase some of Ye's books, which eventually caused most of Ye Dehui's books to be lost, and a few belonged to his nephews Ye Qixun and Ye Qixun. The books entering the Zhongshan Library of Tibet Province were also dusted with the building in the Battle of Changsha by the Red Army in July 1930, and the pieces of paper were left behind.
None of Ye Dehui's sons read, and the only scholars who could pass on his knowledge were ye Qixun and Ye Qixun. Dehui once had a poem: "There are eight or nine sons in my family, five of whom are really wonderful, and the children are not dependent on this, and the guinea pigs are comparable to The Phoenix." ”
Ye Qixun (1900-1972), also known as Dinghou (定侯), also known as Zi Gengsheng (字進生), was the author of the Book of ShijingLou (拾經楼紬書錄), a lead print in 1937. Ye Qi (1905-1952), character Dongming, hall number Hua'etang, author of "Hua'etang Reading Knowledge", manuscript, Tibet Hunan Library, now has a photocopy of the world. The two are the sons of Ye Dehui's third brother Dejiong, and the brothers' collection of books is in one place, so in the same book, there are seals and inscriptions that inspire the two. In 1941, the famous scholar Lei Kai of Changsha said in the preface to "Reading In Hua'etang": "Forty years of officials in Yujiaoye Yuan, each time he saw it, he instructed the source of the engravings hidden in the interstitial frame, the similarities and differences of the words, and he was tireless. He heard from zi dinghou and dongming side, learned from the family, and searched for factories, although not as rich as the officials, and there were those who had not been received by the officials. After the officials were killed, the books were scattered, and the hou and Dongming were hidden by many wars, and they survived alone, if there were gods and creatures. Through the unremitting efforts of the two brothers, by 1949, the collection of books also reached more than 100,000 volumes, and the quality and quantity were no less than ye Dehui Guan Gutang.
In 1951, all the books collected by the Qixun and Inspiration brothers were handled by their sons and nephews Ye Yunmin and Ye Yunkui, all of which were donated to the Hunan Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Committee, and in 1957, they were transferred to the Hunan Library by the Cultural Affairs Commission. Today's Hunan Library's good books are based on Ye's donation, and the most notable of them is the Song edition of the "Explanation of Words and Characters".
Fifteen volumes of shuowen jiezi, written by Han Xushen, Song Xuxuan and other proofreadings. Cross-line characters are not equal, small characters are double lines, lines are twenty-nine and three crosses, cotton paper, the number of words per page and the name of the engraver are engraved under the heart, and the engravers include Li Deying, Zhan Derun, Sun Yuan, Zheng Bao, Xu Zhong, Wu Yu, Chen Ning, Yang Chun, Jin Wenrong, Cao Dexin, Shen Xiang, Mao Hua, Chen Xuan, Zhou Cheng, etc. There are the "Seal of Mao Shu" Zhu Wen Xiao Fang Seal, the "Axe Season" Zhu Wen Xiao Fang Seal, the "Bai Di Qian Listening to the Silent Scripture Eye" Zhu Wen Xiao Chang Fang Seal, the "Wu Yue Wang Sun" Zhu Wen Fang Yin, the "Hui Hai Lou Book Seal" Zhu Wen Da Fang Seal, the "Mo Youzhi Book Print" Zhu Wen Chang Fang Seal, the "Xiangtan Liu Clan Lan Zhu Shan Fang Book Collection Seal" Zhu Wen Chang Fang Seal, the "ZiXia Over the Eye" Zhu Wen Xiao Fang Seal, and the "Ye Shi Song Lou Lou Zang", "Survived after the Chaos", "After the Collection of the Scripture Lou Ding", "Middle Wu Ye Qi Fan QiXun Inspired Brothers to Treasure Books" and other prints.
The study of Xu's literature began in the Song Dynasty, and there were already many periodicals at that time. However, with the prosperity of the yuan and ming dynasty engraving books, few people engraved this book again. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Wanli Chen Dake and the Chongzhen Yushan Mao Jin Ji Ancient Pavilion were re-engraved, so the XuShu became popular again. After Mao's engraving, there was Mao Jin's son Mao Zhizhibao, who said that his ancestors had purchased the authentic text of the text, and felt that its characters were small, so they opened the carving in large characters. The structure of the book is quite exquisite, and it should be written by the famous hands of the time. In the Qianlong Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, duan yu cut according to the two kinds of Song Dynasty Mao's carvings hidden by Wang Chang of Qingpu and Zhou Xizhan of WuXian County, and became a volume of "Ji Gu Ge Shu Wen Ding". Where the Song Ben hidden by the King and zhou is the same as the Mao carving, it is indicated that "the two Song Ben are the same", and the different ones are noted separately, saying that the Wang Song Ben is so-and-so, and the Zhou Clan Song Ben is so-and-so. The Song ben that Wang Chang had collected was later returned to An Lu Xinyuan, which is found in the "Collected Books of the Song Dynasty", and its book is followed by Ruan Yuan's hand, saying that "In the summer of May of the second year of Jiaqing, Ruan Yuan used this school to draw the ancient ge ben at the Yangzhou School Office." Mao Jin's engraving is based on this. Any mistake is a mistake." The Book of the Song Dynasty was later returned to the Iwasaki clan of Japan, and it is still hanging overseas.
At the beginning of the last century, Zhang Yuanji, Fu Zengxiang and others advocated the printing of the "Four Series", hoping to collect the secret books of collectors from the north and south to be widely circulated. At that time, Xu Xuan's Northern Song Dynasty "Shuowen Jiezi" had already entered jingjiatang, and the Southern Tang Dynasty Xu Kai's "Shuowen Jiezi Series Biography" was forty volumes, and the Song ben was fragmented and not transmitted. However, Huang Pilie's "Records of the Hundred Song Dynasties and One Book" contains that Yu Shanqian once described the ancient Tang Ying Song banknotes, and he did not know the end. One day, Ye Dehui came to Shanghai from Suzhou, zhang Yuanji entertained Ye Dehui at the family table with the friendship of a landlord, Ye Qixun was also able to accompany the attendant at the side of the seat, and Miao Quansun was also present. During the banquet, it was said that there was no good copy of The Sayings of The Second Xu to print, and Miao Quansun informed Xu Kai that the Shadow Song Banknotes of the "Lineage Biography" were now in the Zhang Junheng Suitable Garden in Wucheng and could be borrowed by merchants; Ye Dehui also said that the Song Texts of the Shuowen in jingjiatang could be transferred to friends for business. Zhang Yuanji was overjoyed, and impromptu urged Miao to send a letter to Wucheng Zhang, and Dehui also sent a letter to his friends. Not long after that, Ye Zhiyou replied to the letter, saying that he had the permission of the Tibetan lord, but the book did not want to go out, and he was afraid of being defaced when it was printed. After several letters and merchants, Zhang Yuanji finally took a picture of the Tibetan lord with three thousand yuan and sent the piece to China. As a result, the Northern Song Dynasty edition of the Shuowen was first printed in the "Continuation of the Ancient Yi Series" and then in the "Four Series". Although Xu Kai's "Lineage Biography" was borrowed by Zhang Shi, it had to be transferred to the Song Dynasty "Rong Zhai Five Pens" held by Zhang Yuanji. It turned out that the book "Rong Zhai" was originally held by The Hu Estimate First Wucheng Zhang Clan, but due to the lack of harmony in the negotiation, it was later obtained by Zhang Yuanji. Zhang Junheng thought about it afterwards and was remorseful, so he took the opportunity to threaten him, and Zhang Yuanji had to allow it. Therefore, the books of the two major xu were included in the "Four Series" and incarnated into tens of millions.
The book obtained by Ye Was originally a book in Xia Xiang Township in 1935 when he went to Ye Mansion to ask for sale, and Ye Qixun went to look at it and review it, which was quite careless. Suddenly, we picked out six volumes of this book from the pile of paper, and at first thought that it was published by Sun Xingyan of Yanghu Lake, but printed with Goryeo leather paper. The detailed examination was first known to be the Northern Song Dynasty fine engraving, and the paper was Yongfeng cotton paper. The words "Huan" and "Zhen" in the book are not missing, and they were carved when they were engraved by Song Zhenzong. The Xiangzhong Song Ben "Saying Text", the former Daozhou He Shaoji Yunlong Wanbao Library once hid one, and then did not know the end. This is from the Xiangtan Liu clan, and the plutonium has "The Seal of the Xiangtan Liu Clan Lanzhu Shanfang Book Collection" and "Zixia Passing eyes". Volume 10, pages 7 and 9, volume 11, page 3, volume 15, page 7, has the word "reprint" in the center of the edition, which was supplemented during the Southern Song Dynasty. With this copy and the "Four Series" photocopied Jingjiatang Tibetan Lu Xinyuan book, the strokes are wavy, there is no difference, the weight is the same, it can be known that it is the same board. However, the word "prudent" of Lu Ben Xu Shen only removes the last stroke, and this book either completely removes the word "caution" or changes "caution" to "clan", so it can be seen that this should be a postprint compared to Lu Ben. Qian Daxin's diary once contained two parts of the Song Dynasty's "Commentaries", one for Wang Chang and one for Huang Pilie, and at the end of the Yellow book there is the words "Confucianism in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and other places". Ye inspired the "Reading Knowledge of Hua'etang" to think that the two books should be one board, and the Huang family's collection was song ban Yuanxiu. In the collection of hunan library, there are the seals of Haiyu Maoshi, Baidi Qianshi, Haining Chashi, and Dushan Moshi, which have been collected by famous artists and painted with beads, which add color to this book, which is enough to rival Jingjia and proud Yaoweng.
