    "Why not?" Wang Guowei said, "For this reason, we have canceled all loans from outside the school; even students from our school can now only borrow books after the first year of Jiaqing, limited to two volumes at a time. The rest are only  Can be read in the library.

    "Even for ordinary borrowing, you must apply for a borrowing card in advance with a valid ID and a valid guarantor. Every time you borrow a book, your name must be registered on the borrowing card at the back of the book. When borrowing a book, the borrower must check for damage to the book. If  If damage is discovered, in addition to registration, the responsibility of the previous borrower must be traced; if no discovery is made and the next borrower discovers the damage, the borrower will be held accountable. In addition to being prohibited from borrowing books in the future, the person who caused the damage must also pay compensation and  fine."

    ¡°In order to prevent ink from damaging books, the library provides pencils, and it is strictly necessary to bring other pens and ink into the library.

    ¡°As for some precious Song and Yuan engravings, domestic unique editions, manuscripts, manuscripts, proofreads, etc., they have been stored in Tongwen Building instead of the current Qiuxin Library, and the borrowing procedures are more formal.¡±

    The newly built library was named "Qiuxin" because the Qiuxin Machinery Manufacturing Machinery Shipyard founded by Zhu Zhiyao donated 10,000 taels of silver.  Sun Yuanqi understood the meaning of "more formal" in Wang Guowei's words: If your relationship is not strong enough, your face is big enough, and your needs are not urgent enough, you will definitely not be able to borrow these rare and rare books.

    Although the purpose of the library is to meet the public's demand for knowledge rather than to collect information, now that the situation has become like this, Sun Yuanqi has no better solution.  Who told us that there are so many Chinese people?  Once people pass a hundred, they come in all shapes and sizes.  There are always some people who want to use their cleverness to take advantage of themselves.

    He thought the flowers blooming in the park were beautiful, so he wanted to pick a few and put them in vases to decorate his small home; he thought the white swans in the pond were delicious, so he wanted to catch a few and cook them to satisfy himself.  His own appetite; he thought the exquisite books in the library looked good, so he wanted to steal a few and put them on the bookshelf to show his erudition The starting point of all actions was his own petty profit, as for others  How, is not considered at all.  Although these do not rise to the level of national evil, perhaps they should be regarded as the survival wisdom of small people accumulated over thousands of years of history!

    It is indeed inappropriate to talk about these depressing topics on New Year¡¯s Eve.  Sun Yuanqi didn't want to get entangled in this issue and spoil everyone's mood, so he turned to ask: "Brother Jing'an, should the funds for the library be in place for the new year? What are your plans?"

    Wang Guowei then smiled a little: "The first big thing after the New Year is naturally to continue negotiating prices with Renhe Ding and try to buy the entire collection of books in the Eight Thousand Volumes Building."

    "Eight Thousand Volumes Building" does not mean that there are only 8,000 volumes of books in it, but the owner of the library, Ding Guodian, took this name because he admired his ancestor Ding Yi of the Northern Song Dynasty who collected 8,000 volumes of books.  It is a pity that this building was destroyed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the eleventh year of Xianfeng (1861). It should be said that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a cult organization, indeed made great achievements in destroying ancient book collections.  As soon as they started to rebel, they announced: "All the demonic books and heretical teachings of Confucius and Mencius will be burned, and no one is allowed to buy, sell, store or read them, otherwise they will be punished." So, a cultural disaster began!

    After capturing the city, the thieves destroyed and destroyed the books. According to Zhang Dejian's witness in Tianjing: "The collected books were carried on a load, and they were thrown away when passing through the toilet. If they couldn't be thrown away, they could be burned with fire, and if they couldn't be burned, they could be burned with water.  Pouring." The library was the main target of their burning and destruction. Not one of the seven pavilions in the "Four Treasurys" in the south escaped from their hands.  In addition, famous libraries such as Li Shu's "Muxixuan", Gan Fu's "Jindao Tower", Chen Yu's "Xiangshan Pavilion", Ruan Yuan's "Lingyin Book Collection", and Jiang Guangxu's "Biexiazhai" are all in danger of escaping.

    The Sanjiang and Lianghu areas where the Taiping Army was mainly located were the gathering places of humanities in the Qing Dynasty, and sixty-seven out of ten of the country¡¯s book collections were located here.  After this war, all the classics in Jiangnan were lost.  The specific number of damaged books is no longer known. The only more intuitive data is that the price of books before Qianlong in Liulichang increased several times!

    The current Eight Thousand Volume Tower was rebuilt by Ding Guodian¡¯s grandson Ding Bing in the 14th year of Guangxu (1888), and the old name is still used.  As one of the four major libraries in the late Qing Dynasty, the Eight Thousand Volume Building actually includes three parts: the Jiahui Hall Eight Thousand Volume Building, the Later Eight Thousand Volume Building, and the Small Eight Thousand Volume Building.  Each part of the collection has its own characteristics: the 8,000-volume building of Jiahui Hall collects books collected in "Sikuquanshu" and the attached catalogues; the latter 8,000-volume building collects books that have not been collected in "Sikuquanshu"; Xiaoba  Qianjuanlou collects rare books such as Song and Yuan editions, Ming editions, old banknote editions, school editions, and manuscripts.

    "According to our preliminary statistics, there are about 15,000 kinds of books and more than 200,000 volumes in the Eight Thousand Juan Tower. Although the number is tens of thousands more than that in the Song Dynasty Tower, the main rare books in the Eight Thousand Juan Tower are Ming Dynasty fine books.  This book, "Four1 edition of the book.  Including the parts we have successively acquired and donated over the years, according to statistics a few days ago, the collection has reached 182 types of Song editions, 217 types of Yuan editions, and 3 types of gold editions. The total number accounts for at least five of the surviving Song and Yuan editions.  One part!  I think back then, Emperor Gaozongchun mobilized all the efforts of the world to collect ancient books and gathered them in Tianlu Linlang in Zhaoren Hall. There were only 71 books in the Song Dynasty, 1 in the Jin Dynasty, and 85 in the Yuan Dynasty.  Our library has only been established for a few years, and it has far surpassed Tianlu Linlang. Isn¡¯t it something to be proud of?  "

    Seeing Wang Guowei¡¯s beaming expression, everyone quickly nodded in agreement.  Only Zhang Yuanji poured cold water on it: "Don't forget that the Tianlu Linlang collection of books that Emperor Qianlong worked so hard to collect was completely burned in the Zhaoren Palace fire in the second year of Jiaqing (1797)!"

    "These rare books from the Song and Yuan Dynasties were carefully collected by predecessors, but they disappeared in a flash. Sometimes it really makes people wonder whether it is a good thing to gather them together?" Yan Fu also sighed.

    "The fire protection in our library is very good, and there will never be any leakage!" Wang Guowei gritted his teeth and continued to crack his fingers. "As for the books from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, we have Dunhuang posthumous books; during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, we have  There are more than 100,000 pieces of oracle bones. Look, do you find anything?"

    Luo Zhenyu said without thinking: "The section from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties is missing!"

    "That's right!" Wang Guowei said excitedly, "Our library construction plan is to prepare all the historical materials of all dynasties in history!"

    Sun Yuanqi was confused: "If I remember correctly, the missing period should have used bamboo slips instead of paper, right?"

    "Principal Baixi is right!" It's rare for Sun Yuanqi to understand a little knowledge of literature and history, so Luo Zhenyu and Wang Guowei did not hesitate in their praise.

    "Then how to collect them? Bamboo slips are very perishable. Do you plan to dig ancient tombs or go to the northwest desert to find them?" Sun Yuanqi vaguely remembered that later generations did dig many bamboo slips in ancient tombs and deserts.

    Wang Guowei was stunned: "Principal Baixi's suggestion is a good one! However, my idea is to buy the surviving three generations of auspicious gold to make up for the pre-Qin part; and then collect rubbings of inscriptions from past dynasties, especially those from the Qin, Han, Wei, and Jin periods. This way  It can be completed!¡±

    Luo Zhenyu twirled his beard: "I quite agree with collecting rubbings of inscriptions. But the bronzes"

    Zhang Yuanji continued: "Zhongding bronze ware is extremely valuable in itself, and there are too many fakes, so I think it's better to forget it."

    Even Yan Fu, who rarely expresses opinions, said: "The water in the bronze ware is indeed too deep! It's okay to buy a real one, but if you buy a fake one and put it in the corner as a water tank, it will look a bit disgusting!"

    Seeing everyone's objections, Wang Guowei had no choice but to take a step back: "Well, the third generation of Ji Jin will also buy rubbings. Is that okay?" (To be continued.
