Regarding Ding Bing, at first I thought he was just the author of "Wulin Fang Alley".
During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Ding Bing worked tirelessly and painstakingly to compile the "Wulinfang Xiangzhi", which records the historical evolution and related humanistic anecdotes of Fangxiang, official palaces, temples, fangshi and celebrity mansions in Hangzhou from the Southern Song Dynasty until the end of the Qing Dynasty, and is the largest and most complete urban Fangxiang Zhishu book compiled in China before 1949. Ding Bing was willing to be small, gave up the things outside Hangzhou, and only weighed the eighteen square areas of Qiantang and Renhe counties, not to Gaoting in the north, not to Fengshan in the south, and not to search the West Lake outside the city gate. The style is imitated in the "Hangzhou Fuzhi" during the Kangxi Dynasty, and there are more than 1600 abstracts.
(Wulinfang Lane Chronicle, all eight volumes, by Ding Bing, published by Zhejiang People's Publishing House in 1990.) Belongs to the series: Hangzhou Palm Ancient Series. In addition, the series of books includes "Speaking of Hangzhou", "Dream Liang Record", "Wulin Past Events", "West Lake Tour Chronicle", "West Lake Tour Zhiyu")
In the process of writing "Small Winds and Small Things Visiting Hangzhou", searching for information is an important basic task, including articles published in local newspapers and magazines in Hangzhou. When looking up the history of Wang Ma Lane, I saw a sentence "Wang Ma An was transformed into Hangzhou Silk Industry Guild Hall", so I looked up the history and current situation of Hangzhou Silk Industry Hall, but unexpectedly found many historical facts related to Ding Bing, which made me admire this Hangzhou person.
The founder of Hangzhou Silk Industry Hall is Ding Lizhong. In the article I first saw about the Hangzhou Silk Industry Association, the reporter had only one sentence to introduce Ding Lizhong: "He is the owner of a large silk village in Hangzhou", and the reporter was too busy to at least quote who Ding Lizhong was.
Ding Lizhong, son of Ding Bing. Silk merchants, as well as readers, bibliophiles, newspapermen, also had many works of their own. In the seventeenth year of Guangxu (1891), he was promoted to the post of director general and founded the Minsheng Daily, an organ of the Minshe Society, in Shanghai at the beginning of the Republic of China. (Founded in Shanghai on January 16, 1912, the Minshe Society was initiated by 24 people, including Li Yuanhong, Wang Zhengting, Lan Tianwei, and Sun Wu, calling it the "Purpose of Aiding Rousseau's People's Society", advocating military and national education, adopting a policy of protecting trade, expanding navy and army armaments, advocating railway nationalization, opposing the Provisional Government of Nanjing, and supporting the Yuan Shikai regime.) Slogans "Anti-Sun Reverse Yellow", "Praise Li And Support Yuan")
【Hangzhou Silk Industry Hall】
It is said that the interior of the Hangzhou Silk Industry Hall founded by Ding Lizhong is magnificent, and major silk merchants often attend the meeting. The purpose of the association is to "maintain and promote the public interest of the silk industry and correct the shortcomings of the industry", to set uniform wages (including labor wages and processing costs), to prohibit price reductions for fixed customers, and to build schools and do good deeds. Most of the buildings were destroyed by anti-war artillery fire. There are two stone tablets in the museum, which were erected at the beginning of the establishment of the guild hall. During the Cultural Revolution, "the four olds were broken", and people with hearts smeared lime on the stele stones and wrote the four big characters of "Fighting Private Criticism and Repair" with red pens, and the stele was completely preserved and still stands in the guild hall. In 2008, the plot was purchased by Zhejiang First Hospital at a huge cost and repaired in 2009.

When I went to visit, the exterior of the guild hall was renovated, and the gate was closed.
【The Small Eight Thousand Scrolls Building is the cultural heritage inherited by Ding Bing, Ding Lizhong and Ding Ren for three generations to this day]
After the Hangzhou Silk Industry Hall, I saw a gorgeous and exquisite two-story small building, a small eight-thousand-volume building, which was one of the library buildings created by Ding Bing.
Ding Bing was a great scholar, bibliophile, and cultural protector. The family has been running the silk industry for generations, the family is rich, the family has a history of learning, and the generations like to collect books, read books, and write. Ding Bing and his brother Ding Shen are like-minded, enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings all their lives, and love to collect books and write.

In 1860 (the tenth year of Xianfeng), the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book" of Hangzhou Wenlan Pavilion was all scattered in the taiping army, and Ding Bing and his brother Ding Shen did not avoid hardships and dangers, searched for and bought the broken books in all directions, and paid people to copy them in Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Beijing. "The glory of the two masters abandoning the car clothes, the karma of Le Lang Huan, the evil clothes and bad food" - the brothers ate poorly, dressed poorly, and ran back in the bookstore and the ruins of the broken wall, which lasted for seven years, so that the "Four Libraries Of the Whole Book" was restored to 78 out of 10, and was commended by the Guangxu Emperor. In the fourteenth year of Guangxu, Wenlan Ge's "Four Libraries complete book" was basically restored to its original appearance and is now stored in the Zhejiang Library.
The brothers Ding Bing and Ding Shen had a rich collection of books, including "Eight Thousand Volumes Building", "Back Eight Thousand Volume Building", "Good Book Room", "Small Eight Thousand Volume Building" and other library buildings, and the general library was named "Jiahui Hall", which was one of the four major library buildings at that time.
The Ding Brothers attach importance to the collation and printing of local literature. During the Guangxu period, he edited 50 kinds of "Wulin Xiangzhe Relics" and 10 kinds of post-compilations, a total of 96 volumes. Since the ninth year of Guangxu, the brothers have edited 26 episodes and 208 volumes of the "Wulin Palm Ancestor Series", including most of the surviving Hangzhou Palm Classics. Ding Bing himself also wrote "Gengxin Weeping Hangzhou Record", "Wulinfang Lane Chronicle", "Yu Gong Ancestral Tomb Record", "Beiguo Poetry Tent", "Northern Occasional Affixed Record" and so on.
The Ding Brothers are enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings. As an example, they sponsored Zongwen Yishu (now Hangzhou No. 10 Middle School), founded by the well-known educator Zhou Shilian, to enroll poor children for education free of charge.
While collecting books, writings, and enthusiastic about local public welfare undertakings, the Ding Brothers inherited the family silk business. In August of the twenty-first year of Guangxu (1895), Ding Bing and Pang Yuanji (a native of Wuxing Nanxun, Zhejiang, known as the "most prestigious Chinese calligraphy and painting collector in the world") jointly established the Shijing Silk Reeling Factory in Gongchenqiao, Hangzhou.
Ding Bing died at the age of 68 and Ding Shen died at the age of 58. They do not live very long, but they have done many things that are enthusiastic about public welfare and cultural protection, even "stupid things", and they have a collection of thousands of books and works, which makes people sigh the power of concentration and piety.
Ding Lizhong inherited the family school, but unfortunately Guangxu thirty-three years (1907) business failure, under the attention of Duan Fang, the governor of Liangjiang, and others, through the contact of Ding's friend Miao Quansun, for more than 70,000 yuan, all the books in the "Eight Thousand Volumes Building" were sold in the Nanjing Jiangnan Library. Ding Lizhong edited the "Bibliography of 8,000 Volumes of Ding's 8,000 Volumes", 20 volumes and 10 volumes, published in 1932; authored "Helu Poems" and "Songsheng FuJun Annals"; 22 volumes of "Yitang Class Records", and 3 volumes of "Helu Xinbai Yong".
The current small 8,000-volume building is also the real estate of Zhejiang Yi Hospital, which is set up as a hospital history exhibition hall.
Ding Lizhong's son Ding Ren continued to inherit his father's and grandfather's legacy, and was one of the founders of the Xi leng Printing Society. At the end of 1948, Ding Ren, who was seriously ill, proposed to donate all the property of xiling printing society to the state, and the only requirement was that "the name of Xiling printing society should not be changed", in a sense, this move saved the Xiling printing society.
