19 19 Autumn, Wuxian Book Market has a collection of 20 volumes of the big-character book Houshan Jushi written by Song and Shu. Because of the dark color of the paper, everyone thought it was a reprint of the Ming Dynasty and dismissed it. Pan Shi's brothers had a good eye and decided to accept 200 yuan. This set of characters is as big as money, and the font is simple and vigorous. It is printed on jute paper with the marks of "Jin Fu Calligraphy and Painting Seal" and "Jingdetang Book Seal". Therefore, they named the library "Baoshan Building" to show their treasure. After they got the treasure of this town hall, Fu Zengxiang went south from Beiping and borrowed it from Panzhai in Wuxian. Fu described it as: "The words are as big as money, and the breath is simple and heavy ... I played over and over again, and the surprise was unexpected. Gaibu is the foundation of a unique way at sea. In fact, it is the earliest compilation of Houshan Collection handed down from generation to generation. " After obtaining the Song Edition Collection of Houshan Jushi, Pan Shi successively purchased the Collection of Minghong Solidified Houshan, the Collection of Chen Hongzhi Houshan of Jiangzi Zunshou School and the Collection of Shensongben Houcun Jushi. Pan Shi has his own comments on these three books. In addition, they also collected the collections of villages after the Ming banknotes of Jiang Zhengtang School.
In the collection of Baoshan Building, great attention is paid to the historical materials in the late Ming Dynasty. After the last years of Guangxu, the historical materials of the late Ming Dynasty were gradually paid attention to, and the collection and research were quite popular, among which xie guozhen and Zhu Xizu were the most outstanding. Boshan and Zheng Jing also put forward some suggestions. When commenting on the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty, Pan praised the patriotic enthusiasm of the people in the late Ming Dynasty. 1938, the magic fire of Japanese aggression spread to Suzhou, and Ding's legacy was also a mess, and his hand-edited "Anecdotes of Hedong Jun" also went to the market. At this time, after Pan Jing and Zheng Jing's rebellion, although forced by food and clothing, he "got the cake money" and made a postscript at the end of the book. First of all, he recalled his old love with Ding, and highly appreciated his academic attitude. When Chen Yinque wrote Biography of Liu, he mainly benefited from Biography of Hedong County compiled by Ding.
Pan also has Liu's letters and poetry anthology Grass on the Lake. In addition, there are many Tibetan collections of Qian Muzhai. In the postscript, Pan's evaluation of Muzhai is not as admirable as that of Hedong. Pan Shi's patriotism is most directly expressed in the Manuscript of the History of Ming Dynasty through his book inscription. For those who beautify, such as "killing famous soldiers, later generations think that they love the southeast" and "peace of mind is also a national plan", Pan wrote angrily in the postscript: "People who read this history should think twice before acting, and don't confuse their ambitions with heresy, confuse history, deceive themselves and others, and eventually be despised by insiders!" At first, Pan also planned to compile History of Nanming, which was influenced by his teacher Zhang Taiyan. Therefore, he bought a lot of books on this subject. Later, he gave up because his classmate Zhu Xizu had started writing.
Another collection of books in "Baoshan Building" is the literature of rural sages, which is the biggest feature of "Baoshan Building". All the manuscripts, proofreading, postscript and even a book with only a few words and an inscription on the paper were accepted by all the villagers. Almost half of Yan Lou Shu Ba is about rural information, especially in the book collection department. The scope of their expropriation is not limited to Wuxian county, but also includes Changshu and Kunshan counties under the jurisdiction of Suzhou government in the old days. They not only collect, but also often arrange and mount scattered manuscripts. Pan Shi brothers are diligent in the literature of rural sages, which is a pioneering work. In fact, it's also the cause of keeping roots for China classics. Their collection purpose contains great ambition, that is, compiling works similar to Suzhou Art and Literature, but it has never been realized.
Since War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, "Baoshan Building" has been repeatedly attacked and stolen by gunfire, and the loss of books is about 34/ 10. When the two brothers moved to Shanghai, their interest in book collection decreased slightly. Coupled with the death of Boshan, the Pan Shi family lost its main economic pillar. Since then, Zheng Jing has sold some barley to support his family. Like the Ming dynasty? Wen Zhiming's great-granddaughter painted 1300 pieces of "Golden Stone, Cordyceps Wood", which was collected by the Central Library and is now in Taiwan Province Province. This picture book, which has dual values of TCM research and art appreciation, has become one of the samples that the museum often displays and promotes its precious collections.
The Pan Shi brothers in "Baoshan Building" share the same book, and they have their own interests. Boshan collects ancient books, and Zheng Jing likes Tuo Shi and inkstone. Boshan has accumulated more than 1000 calligraphy works of celebrities in the past 20 years, starting from the Yuan Dynasty and ending in the late Qing Dynasty. Among them, "Guhuashan Pavilion" in Wuxi SHEN WOO and "Jiyunju" in Chen Jide have the largest collections, which were brought to Shanghai during the Anti-Japanese War to be printed and handed down from generation to generation. They are divided into loyalty, scholars, epigraphy, book collection, painting gallery, foreigners and ladies. After Boshan's death, it took Zheng Jing nine months to finish it, and he wrote "Inscription in the Painting Garden of Ming and Qing Dynasties". In order to live up to Boshan's legacy, he also compiled a number of collections, called "Shiganglou Series" and made a preface to it.
