Volume 1 of the Mudu Xiaozhi records: "SuiChu Garden, in Mudu East Street, was built by Kangxi Jian Ji'an Taishou Wu Quan Zi Rong Zhai. It can be seen that Suichu Garden was built by Wu Quan, and Ma Jie said in "The Huishu Bibliophile family of Suzhou in the Qing Dynasty": "Among these Huishu bibliophiles living in Suzhou, the greatest influence is the Huangchuan Wu clan, which has been handed over for four generations and has an endless fragrance of books." Regarding the transmission of the books in Suichu Garden, Ma Jie wrote in the text: "Wu Youzi II. The eldest son, Wu Yongyi(吴用義), was a humble nunnery, and he had great contacts with famous people in Zhejiang, lingering in chants and sitting on the throne. Yi Yi is also fond of classics, and the collection of books has repurchased tens of thousands of volumes on the basis of his father, and many Song and Yuan rare books are representative of the second generation of the Huangchuan Wu clan collection. In addition, the second son, Wu Chengzuo, also has a collection of book titles, including Song YuanJiazhu. The Chengzuo Collection is known as 'Happy Xuan', and the collection is printed with 'Happy Xuan Wu's Collection', and there are four volumes of "Happy Xuan Bibliography". ”
Regarding the situation of Huangchuan Wu's collection of books, Zheng Weizhang said of Wu Quan in the "Literature Examination": "After returning to the field, he built the first garden in Duchuan, and because of nostalgia, his reading place was called Huangchuan Book House. Shelf tens of thousands of volumes, all cheats also. It was the time when people came with wine and curiosity, such as Hui Dong, who was a well-known scholar under Wu, so he was famous for 'Huangchuan Wu Clan'. Shen Gui's foolish generation all have poems based on Ji Huangchuan's book house, which is later a famous relic of Lingyan. ”
Shen Deqian did write a "Record of Suichu Garden", in which the origin of this garden was first introduced: "Rong Zhai Wu Taishou, east of Mudu Town, governs the first district of the garden." The garden is a wasteland, desolate, and misty, because of its sudden barriers, the depressions are sparse, the barriers are hills, for Fu, for Pituo, for the ponds, because of the twists and turns of the pond, the boundaries are the embankments, the pavilions are crossed, the Pavilions are pavilions, the Pavilions are built, the Pavilions are contiguous, the walls are like, the strange stones are like, the ancient wooden maples, the yundang xiao shu, the jiahua name, the four rare products of salty extracts. The garden was established, known as 'Sui Chu', and was given the name of Sun Xinggong to to yiyun. Then Shen Deqian introduced the various scenery in Suichu Garden in a long paragraph, so as to see the number of pavilions and pavilions built in the park, and for the origin of the garden name, Shen Deqian wrote: "The name of the fu garden is 'Suichu', and the name of Muxing Gong is also named after the meaning of endowment. However, after examining the "Book of Jin", Xinggong hid in huiji, let loose the landscape, and wrote "Sui Chu Fu" to achieve the meaning, and then for the scattered riding chang waiter, the book said things, Huan Wen laughed and said: "Why not seek the Jun"Sui Chu Fu, know the evil of people's state affairs! It was Xinggong who first gave "Sui Chu", and then the eunuchs also. ”
However, Shen Deqian's "Records of Suichu Garden" does not mention the library building in the garden, and Zhou Jukun's book "Mudu" has a special article introducing Suichu Garden, which mentions: "At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, the garden became increasingly deserted, but from the stone steps in front of the hall that still exist in the third hall, the granite pillar foundation in the hall, the fine-veneered gable of the brick side of the hall, the brick carved gate tower in the north of the hall, and the library building with the fourth entrance structure, it can be seen that the architectural pattern and style of the suichu garden in the past can be seen." ”
It can be seen that the fourth courtyard in Suichu Garden is the library building, and the text also writes: "The structural layout of Suichu Garden is three roads and seven entrances to a large garden. The middle road building is mainly based on meetings, celebrations, collections, singing, and book collections. The gate faces East Street, the Pillow City River, the original water pier, and the stone barge is neat and spacious. The third entrance to the Middle Road building is the hall, the name of yongqianjian is 'Supplementary Leisure Hall', which was renamed 'Zunde Hall' after returning to the Liu clan. This is the main singing place of the year, surrounded by large palace lights, and the "Prosperous Breeding Map" depicts the scene of the literati yashi watching the 'MaDi' fold in the Kun opera "The Tale of the White Rabbit". The fourth and fifth entrances are all library buildings, and the two floors are connected to the east and west to form a four-in-one two-storey library building with the word 'Hui'. The seventh entry is a dry boat, named 'Listening to the Awning', and above the door of the East ShouYuan Cave is Wu Quan's self-titled 'SuiYuan' line brick front side. ”
In this way, the fifth courtyard is also a library building, and these two buildings are in the shape of a back, and the library building of such a structure seems to be similar to the Nanxun Jiaye Hall, and I don't know whether the Jiaye Hall was built with reference to the system of Suichu Garden. In addition to the library building, there are other study rooms in Suichu Garden, and the book "Mudu" writes: "The West Road building is mainly based on the study, the courtyard and the owner's living and resting. The third entrance is a double-storey small study, and the fifth and sixth entrances are double-storey large study rooms, collectively known as the 'Dust House'. Among them, the fifth entrance is prefixed with a rockery, interspersed with trees and flowers, and the lower east first has a side gate, which is connected with the fifth library building of the middle road; the sixth entrance to the lower level of the north first middle hall, finely engraved Zheng Xie's inscription on the bamboo single ginkgo screen door six doors (this screen door was moved to the Humble Administrator's Garden 'Bai Wen Shen Zhi Zhai' in January 1960). ”

Regarding the origin of the Huangchuan Wu collection, Wu Quan's great-grandson Wu Zhizhong first said in his book "The Origin of the Huangchuan Wu Classics Series": "Huangchuan, my great-grandfather Mr. Rongzhai also inscribed the name of his bookhouse. In the year of Yongzheng, the great-grandfather returned to the field by The Ministry Cao Shou Ji'an and lived in the SuiChu Garden of Duchuan, where he read books and put tens of thousands of scrolls on the shelf, all of which were secretly written. Therefore, the inscription book house is known as Sugawa, because my great-grandfather was born in Huangyuan, Xin'an, and lived with my high ancestors in Shanghai in Songjiang, and moved from Songsu to his hometown, and his hometown was inscribed with his reading place, and nostalgic thoughts were also. At that time, those who came with wine and curiosity, such as Hui Songya Zhengjun, were well-known scholars under Wu, and my family was written by the Huangchuan Wu clan. ”
The Huangchuan Wu family collection did indeed originate from Wu Quan, at that time, the family had more than 10,000 volumes of books, and they were all rare books, and Wu Zhizhong also explained that the word Huangchuan was the place where his great-grandfather Wu Quan lived in Xin'an, as a sign that he did not forget his hometown. Wu Quan originally lived in Shanghai, moved from Shanghai to Mudu in Suzhou, where Wu Quan had close contacts with famous scholars such as Hui Dong, a scholar of scriptures, and wu Zhizhong continued to write in this article: "After the death of my great-grandfather, my ancestor was the youngest, so it was not as scattered as books. If the Northern Song Dynasty 's Book of Rites is single sparse,' now return to the Qufu Kong clan, its most prominent ear. My ancestor Mr. Lazy An, heavy self-search, the three books of the library, surrounded by four volumes, there are four volumes of "Happy Xuan Bibliography". Zhong, in the age of hair, it is common for my ancestors to read in the library, and they do not quit chanting in the cold and summer, and Xi ze also draws pens to write books. Every time it is out of the manuscript, I order Yan Jun and my uncles to compile the banknotes and engrave them. There are eight volumes of "Lazy Occasional Manuscripts" and two volumes of "Small Treatises on Reading History". Over the years, the version of the beetle, the family jun re-school Fu Zi, renamed "The History of the Classics". ”
At that time, the Suichu Garden contained the Northern Song Dynasty's single sparse book "Book of Rites", which was very famous, which showed the high quality of the Suichu Garden's collection. Wu Zhizhong helped his grandfather organize books and write bibliographies since he was a child, and his family also published books, for the concept of publishing books, Wu Zhizhong wrote in this article: "There are two kinds of books in the past: one is the collection of books of the book collector, and the other is the collection of books of the reader. For example, my ancestors are not the so-called book collector's collection! However, the books collected by Yan Yixuan have been analyzed and scattered so far. The family is good at writing books, so he abandons his profession at the middle age and specializes in writing. There are more than twenty volumes of the Sutra and Sentences inscribed today, and its successors are still in the middle of nowhere. Taste the zhongzhi: Ancient books are not bought, I can not be as rich as the collection of the previous generations, that is, the owner of the desk, and I know that the later will not be more scattered? It will be published in the second order to spread it widely. The Battle of the School, the Battle of Ru Neng! Zhong, I would like to be commissioned to dove work, and within a few years of the collection, Heran Chengshu, ranked A and B, was titled "Huangchuan Wu Clan Classics Series", and the two books of "Jingshi Theory of Existence" and "Jing sentence sayings" were attached. Because this is the case with its origins. Daoguang 3rd year of early April Ji, Wu County Wu Zhizhong. ”
Wu Zhizhong said that his grandfather's library name was Yuexuan, and after the separation of the family, The collection of Happy Xuan was also divided into several parts, and Wu Zhizhong's father liked the books of the Scripture Department the most, and wanted to get the most books when he separated his family, so he ordered his son Wu Zhizhong to organize people to publish the "Huangchuan Wu Clan Classics Series". Regarding the situation of this series of books, the book is recorded in the Compendium of the General Catalogue of the Continuation of the Four Libraries, and the summary of the book is written by the philologist Xie Guozhen, who claims that the series of books is "Qing Dao Guang Gengyin Heavy Engraving", and then introduces the life of the editor Wu Zhizhong and his corresponding writings:
A native of Wu County, he studied the classics and collected books in his family. Great-grandfather Rong Zhai, born in Huangyuan, Xin'an, lived with his father in Shanghai of Songjiang, and moved from song to Su's hometown when he was old, and inscribed his reading place in Huangchuan to send nostalgia. It is the time to carry wine to ask the curious, such as hui songya generation, as well as the well-known people under Wu, Huangchuan Wu clan collection, so famous in the world. The book is quite scattered. His ancestor Lazy An was self-collecting, and compiled four volumes of the "Bibliography of Happy Xuan", eight volumes of "Lazy An Even Surviving Manuscript", and six volumes of "Reading History". The old edition of the silverfish was re-established as a school journal and renamed "The History of the Classics". His father, YingZhong, abandoned his son's business at the age of 10 years, specialized in writing, and wrote the book of The Only Good Kobe, and wrote more than twenty volumes of the "Sayings of the Scriptures". Zhizhong III, bingqi Zhizhi, compiled the books written by Hui's father and son in his ancestors, such as "Spring and Autumn Sayings", "Poetry Sayings", "University Sayings", and Jiang Yong's "Supplementary Righteousness of the Qunjing", entitled "Huangchuan Wu's Classics Series", and never forgot its beginnings. The twenty-four volumes of the Sutra written by his father Ying are appended to the following.
The Huangchuan WuShi Sutra Series contains a total of thirteen kinds of fifty-four volumes, with one kind of twenty-four volumes, and the "Summary" details the books received in the three collections of A, B, and C, and judging from the contents of the collected books, it is mainly the works of the Qing Dynasty classicists Hui Shiqi, Hui Zhouti, Jiang Yong and others, and also includes the "Nine Classics and Three Transmissions" written by Song Yueke, and the one book included in the appendix is the twenty-four volumes of the "Sayings of the Scriptures" written by Wu Zhizhong's father, Wu Ying. It can be seen that the Huangchuan Wu clan paid the most attention to scripture in the third and fourth generations.

The collection of books of the Wu clan of Huangchuan has been increasing since Wu Quan, for example, Wu Quan's son Wu Yongyi is still buying rare books, and Wang Chang said in the "Poetry of PuBei Mountain House": "The great father of Qi Jin, Ji An TaiShou Quan, returned to Sui Chu Yuan yu Mu Du. His honored people used instruments, and xia purchased tens of thousands of volumes, including many Song and Yuan rare books. ”
For the books collected by the Huangchuan Wu clan, the "History of Suzhou Books" edited by Ye Ruibao has the following brief description: "Therefore, the Wu clan's collection of books is printed with the seal 'Huangchuan Wu's collection of books' and other seals, all of which are attributed to the Yi collection. The first volume of the Pingjinguan Jianzang Records contains the twelve volumes of the Song edition of the "Qunshu Beishu", with the "Huangchuan Wu Collection Of Books" Zhu Wenfangyin. Volume THREE contains six volumes of the Song Dynasty's "History of the Qin", which has the seal of the same as above, 'Wu's Treasure Play' White Square Long Seal. The same volume also contains a volume of "Zhitang Yu Nai Ji", which has the same seal as above. The "Fengshun Ding Clan Holding Jingzhai Bibliography" banknote collection contains twenty volumes of the "Fushui Collection" and one volume of the "Appendix", with the seal of 'Huangchuan Wu Collection'. Also contained in the "Flower Creek Collection", with the same imprint as above. The Yuan Ben History Department contains the "Later Collection of Shi Lun Tong", two volumes of song and one volume of Jin, which are collected as 'Huangchuan Wu's'. Another manuscript is recorded in the "Successive Dynasties of the Kingdom", Ding Shiyun: 'Huangchuan Wu Clan TanMei Shan Fang Codex. 'Press: Tanmei Mountain House does not know who built huangchuan Wu clan, and it is now temporarily listed here. ”
In addition, the book also lists a large number of books in various bibliographies of the Old Collection of the Huangchuan Wu Clan, which shows that the old collection of books of the family is valued by later generations of bibliophiles, and I am also fortunate to have obtained several of them.
