Originated from Yu Dingsun of the Southern Song Dynasty《Confucian Enlightenment》Zuo Gui's《A sea of learning》。In the Qing Dynasty, the more and more carved, the more refined, and the compilation has its own characteristics and emphasis.All the important books in these series have been included in the Collection of Books.
According to the original bibliography of the Commercial Press, "the selection criteria of 100 books in the initial series are mainly practical and rare; the former is to meet the needs, and the latter is to be handed down as a single copy." Many famous books have been collected, and many notes are not easy to find.These 100 series of books are divided into three types by publication in the Song Dynasty, one type in the Yuan Dynasty, twenty-five types in the Ming Dynasty, and seventy-one types in the Qing Dynasty;According to the nature of the series, there are 80 kinds of ordinary series, 12 kinds of specialized series and 8 kinds of local series.The Collection of Books is a collection of 100 books. It originally received about 6000 kinds of books and more than 27000 volumes. The duplication is deleted, and there are about 4100 kinds of books and about 20000 volumes in actual storage.More than《Four Treasury Books》Two tenths of them are described, and the number of words is about one third of that of Sikuquanshu.
At that time, the Commercial Press printed the "Preliminary Catalogue of Series Collection", wrote a summary for the 100 series collected, and listed the sub items by category.However, what is described in the Catalog is not completely consistent with what is actually published, because some of them have not been published.In 1960, the Shanghai Ancient Book Bookstore revised and reprinted the Preliminary Catalogue of the Collection of Books, listing the numbers of each book one by one, noting the books that have not yet been published, and indexing the book names.

It has made it possible for ordinary people to collect a large number of books. From this point of view, it has contributed greatly to the spread of Chinese culture.With this series of books, common ancient books include all of them. Scholars naturally have more convenience in studying. They can buy a large number of reference books at a very low cost, which is a great contribution of the Commercial Press.This set of books is related to business“Universal Library”、“Four part series”And Zhonghua Book Company“Four spare parts”They have become classics in the history of modern publishing, especially in the history of series books.There are no errors in sentence breaking and proofreading.
There are as many uncommon books in the "Collection of Books", which provide valuable information for scholars.When those rare books haven't been photocopied, manyA good bookThe secret collections are in the hands of some great collectors, and they are hidden from others. Scholars want to use them, but they cannot see them.Even if ordinary readers are curious and want to see it, there is no way to borrow it.Regardless of its quality, the emergence of "book series integration", as the first book series facing the public in China, has exerted a subtle influence on the academic field."Series integration" was originally intended for some small and medium-sized libraries, but later private collections bought more books.Up to now, many scholars still refer to the version of "book series integration" when they study, and even use it as the base for collation, for nothing else, just because it is easier to get.Wang Yunwu except“Four corner number search method”In addition, this series is one of his contributions.
Even today, books like "book series integration" are not meaningless.Not everyone can borrow the rare collection in the library. What's more, with the letter of introduction, you can't see the book, but the book has already become something human.It can benefit many people by spending tens of millions of money on good causes.In addition, printing more small books and selling them separately can reduce the publishing cost. Users of books have their own needs: they can afford to buy books without buying back a lot of books they don't need for one book.For collectors with a taste for perfection, it is more fun to find."Series" might as well print some useful and small books.In the days when hardback books and gift books are everywhere, it seems inappropriate to say this.Today, there are a lot of "series books" printed, but most of them cannot be followed up. I'm afraid that there are really not many "series books integration".There are economic reasons, but more profound social reasons.

Many books of ancient book collation have exaggerated prefaces and ramblings, but at the end of the book, the version system and the copy used have not been explained clearly. What's the use of such prefaces and descriptions for readers?I bought a set of photocopies from a publishing house in Beijing《Confucian classics》There is no publication description and preface. After searching the books in front of the book, I don't know what version this set of books is photocopied according to (look at the format, it may be photocopied according to the version of the original World Book Company).Is it irresponsible for publishers to sell such books without birth certificates to readers?Of course, I know that publishing such books can not earn much money, but we should not treat them carelessly because there is no economic benefit, which will also damage the reputation of the publishing house.I am most afraid of the words in the front of the book, such as "it has been revised according to a certain book", or "there are very few deletions", and there are no school reporters in the whole book.How credible is the book's correction?Even famous scholars and authorities in that field can guarantee that they will not make mistakes at all?This is obviously unrealistic.
The purpose of saving proofreading may be to save paper and typography costs, in order to reduce costs, but it has caused great inconvenience to readers.If I want to quote the information in the book, I will check the original book after all.Zhong Hua Book CompanyOf《Redords of the Grand History of China》There is no proofreading record. Although Mr. Gu Jiegang presided over the proofreading, there are often papers pointing out some errors in some professional magazines so far.I am not afraid of the sages. As long as a book is published, it is responsible for the readers. At least we should do what we can.

The "book collection" is not valued by people. A large number of rare and secret books have flowed out from some libraries or private homes, not to mention paperbacks of this kind?According to the recollection articles of some senior scholars, in addition to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, ordinary Ming and Qing editions of books in Beijing Tianqiao and Liulichang at that time were only one yuan per volume (some rare books, such as rare ones, are different), and can be seen everywhere on the stalls of Liulichang. "Collections of books" can almost be carried by cars, and a few cents can buy back a lot of good books.
Time has changed. Since the 1990s, book prices have soared, and even old books have soared.I once saw an "integrated" book in the Confucian Temple《Female Biography of Gu Lie》, shown in the figure (should beGu KaizhiThe seller asked for 60 yuan, which was a bit outrageous.In fact, the number of these books is still very large. If you are careful, you can collect a lot of them at a low price.I don't need to use the word "collect", because most books are collected for the purpose of collection nowadays.

Version difference
The specific selection criteria are not clear, so the selection of typesetting and photocopying in the series is also confused.Generally speaking, some primary schools and attached drawings are photocopied, while the rest are mostly typeset, but not necessarily all.To be honest, I prefer photocopied books.Typography is prone to errors, which is one of them.Photocopy is much more reliable than typesetting if it can not be edited.
In addition, if the photocopied books are good, the ink, font, and engraving style of the original books can be preserved.This is a way for those of us who are addicted to ancient books but can't afford to buy them.Although it is not worth much cultural relics (if it is a copy of a famous writer, it can be rated as "the next level authentic work"), it is no inferior to the original in terms of academic value.
Publication Notes
Although it is very brief, I can explain some key contents very clearly.For example, the description of a volume of Meng Xi Bu Bi Tan is as follows: "The 'Secret Collection of Bao Yan Tang', 'Bai Hai' and 'Xue Jin Dao Yuan' selected by the 'Preliminary Compilation of the Collection of Books' in our library are all included in this book. Bao Yan's notes in this article are confused, the paragraphs are wrong, and the Bai Hai version is also unavoidable. The Xue Jin version came out from the Bai Hai version and was revised, so it was printed. There are two pieces out of the middle, and it is still copied and supplemented according to the Bai Hai version." Just a few crosses,The existing version of the book (mainly those included in the 100 series), the advantages and disadvantages of each version, the reasons for selecting the version used, whether there is any change, and what appendixes have been added are clearly explained.If this book is included in the "Four Treasury Complete Books", the "Four Treasury Summary" will be attached to the front of the book.This is really worth learning for our publishing houses today.
35 year edition
In 1985, Zhonghua Book Company photocopied the original book once, and ordered it separately in 32 folios, slightly larger than the original book, but it seems that there are not many copies. It is rare to see them in the second-hand book market, and sometimes there are some in the warehouse of some bookstores.In recent years, there have been several sets on the desk of the ancient book bookstore, but few people buy them.Those who really make versions look down on "book series integration", and those who do not make versions do not know its value, so they are ignored.It is also known from the copyright page of the purchased "Series",
Reissue
In the late 1950s, there was a "supplementary edition", which, as the name suggests, should be the supplementary edition of books that had not been published before.The paper of the supplement is softer than that of the original version. It seems to be straw paper, and the ink color is heavier. It can be seen that it was three years of natural disasters at that time, and the country's economic conditions were not good.I wonder how many books have been reissued this time?I'm afraid I can't solve these problems. I also hope that the insiders can provide information.
There is also a photocopy of the "Series Integration Continuation" edited by Shanghai Bookstore.
