The "General Catalog of Sikuquanshu" is the largest catalog of official books in ancient my country. It is also called "Summary of the General Catalog of Sikuquanshu", or simply "Summary of Sikuquanshu".
Compiled by Ji Yun and others in the Qing Dynasty. Ji Yun (1724-1805), also known as Xiaolan and Chunfan, was a native of Xianxian County, Hebei Province today. Famous scholar, official to the Minister of Rites and co-organizer of the bachelor's degree.
The book was edited since the 38th year of Qianlong's reign (1773), and the first draft was completed in the 46th year of Qianlong's reign. After revisions and additions, it was finalized in the 54th year of Qianlong's reign and engraved by Wuying Palace. In the 60th year of Qianlong's reign, the local government in Zhejiang reprinted the engraving of the Wuying Palace from the Wenlan Pavilion in Hangzhou. Since then it has been widely circulated.
There are 200 volumes in the book. There are 3,401 kinds of books recorded, 79,309 volumes, and 6,793 books, 93,551 volumes stored. Basically includes important ancient books in my country before Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, especially those before Yuan Dynasty are more complete.
It is divided into four major categories: Jing, Shi, Zi, and Ji. The major categories are divided into subcategories, and the subcategories are divided into subcategories. There is a small preface in front of each major category and sub-category, and a note after the sub-category, briefly explaining the origin of this type of work and the reasons for classifying the category and purpose.
This book records more than 10,000 cultural classics in philosophy, history, literature, science and technology before the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty. It is the catalog with the largest collection of books in my country, and it also contains summaries and comments. It provides a detailed bibliography for scholars to study the political, economic, and cultural history of China's feudal society. However, it is an official bibliography designated and supervised by Qianlong. It reflects the views and interests of the feudal ruling class in terms of book selection, content description, abstracts, and comments.
Also known as "Summary of the General Catalog of the Complete Collection of Aoku" and "Summary of the Four Kus". : One hundred volumes. General compilation of the Qing Dynasty (1724-1805). Neining Xiaolan, courtesy name Chunfan. A native of Xianxian County, Zhili Province (now part of Hebei Province). In the 19th year of Qianlong's reign (1754), he became a Jinshi. He was educated by Hanlin to be the Minister of Rites and co-organizer of the university. He was sent to Wenda. He is good at poetry and parallel prose, and is the author of "Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage", "Collection of Ji Wenda's Legacy", etc.
In the middle of Qianlong's revision of "Sikuquanshu", Jiguo and Xixiong were the finalists. Although the academicians of the Sikuquanshu (Sikuquanshu) were appointed separately, Shao Nanjiang (Jin Han 1) of the History Department, Zhou Shuchang (Shui Nian) of the Zi Department, and Dai Dongyuan (Zhen) of the Zi Department of Astronomy and Arithmetic were all assigned respectively. Ji Tao was responsible for writing the first draft, not picking it up, and doing the editing and assessment. He also said: "Yu Yuguisi received the proofreading, and with the power of 1999, he compiled it into a general catalog of 200 volumes. "Preface to "The General Meaning of the Preface to Poems" in Volume 8 of "Collected Works") In the forty-seventh year of Qiandou's reign (1782), "Sikuquanshu" was basically completed, and the "General Catalog of Sikuquanshu" and the "Sikuquanshu" will be condensed tomorrow. The first draft of "Records" was also written at the same time. After several additions and revisions, it was finalized in the 54th year of Qianlong's reign (1789) and printed by Wuyingdian. Three thousand and five hundred and three kinds of books were recorded in "Sikuquanshu". There are 10,321 kinds of "Cunmu" books included in "Sikuquanshu".
Included in "Sikuquanshu". The summaries of each book in "Si Ku Quanshu" were originally attached to the front of the book for the emperor's review. As for the summaries of "Li Shu Bi Xing", they are only for general readers' reference. When it was compiled into a book and printed separately, it had been greatly revised by Ji Tao, and some parts were far from the original text. For example, the summary attached above is different from the summary of the current "Siku Quanshu" (or "Siku Quanshu"). This can be confirmed by checking B3 one by one.
The "General Catalog of Aoku Quanshu" has some characteristics: (1) This book is a large-scale problem-solving book. It is different from the official history. The Art and Literature Chronicle is an integral part of the history book, and it is also a separate volume of the bibliography like the "E5rJ Records", "Chongwen General Catalog", "Zhizhai Shulu Jiji", etc. Therefore, it is included in the preface, problem solving, and author introduction of each department. , version origin and other aspects, it is not limited by the length like the historical catalogue, so it can make 11 necessary narratives and comments as much as possible, thus making it the largest problem-solving bibliography in the Qing Dynasty
(2 ) This book is divided into two parts: the "description" book and the "catalogue" book. It is an original example. The "description" book is written as a final version and is included in the "Sikuquanshu"; the "catalogue" book is not included. "Sikuquanshu", but the summary is also written in the "Sikuquanshu General Catalog"
According to the provisions of the "Fantasy" of this book, there are generally two situations for those included in the "Citation List". One is that there are errors in the book, and the name should be included in the abstract, and the errors should be clarified; the other is that it is an "ordinary writing, but it is not outstanding... and its title should also be kept for assessment." Kuquanshu collects more than 3,500 "biography" books and as many as 6,800 "cunmu" books. The latter is twice as many as the former. These books rely on "cunmu". Only with the abstract can readers know the outline and then visit the original book. Just imagine that without this "catalogue" abstract, two-thirds of the existing ancient books would be less known, which would be a great loss. Generally speaking, the "Sikuquanshu General Catalog" made up for this shortcoming to a great extent.
The "Sikuquanshu" was started in the 36th year of Qianlong (1771) and completed in the 46th year of Qianlong (1781). , is the largest series of books in the history of our country. It is named "Ji Gu You Wen" in order to "contain prohibition and conscription". As a result, there are only 3461 kinds and 79309 volumes included in the series, and the rest are considered to be of little value. Books without "violation" are not included in "Sikuquanshu" and are listed as "deposits".
Other books with "obstructive" content were banned, tampered with, and deleted. It can be described as another catastrophe in cultural history.
"General Catalog of Sikuquanshu"
(Qing Dynasty) compiled by Yongrong, Ji Yun and others, with a total of 200 volumes, based on the compilation of "Sikuquanshu" Completed, 10,254 kinds of books and 172,860 volumes have been recorded. Summaries have been prepared for each of them and compiled into a catalogue. It is organized according to the four classification methods of Jing, Shi, Zi and Ji. It is a masterpiece of classical bibliography. It still has important reference value. The search method is: 1. Classification method, you need to be familiar with its classification system. 2. Paths to names of people and books. The 1981 photocopy is attached with an index of book titles and names arranged according to four-corner numbers.
Later generations have spoken highly of this book. For example, Chen Yuan's "Siku Synopsis" was written relatively late and has the most detailed introduction. It is particularly helpful to inspire me. I feel that I have learned a lot from it. More than any teacher in the school.
