Yu Jia III accumulated more than 30,000 volumes. The eldest father said to Yu Yu, "Of all the grandchildren, you are the only one who has a good book. If you want to see it, you can take it with you. " Yu Jian's great servant, Wen Gong's great father Dan Yin, and those who have hands and luster keep them and give them to you. My great father was very happy and passed away, about 2000 volumes. The apocalypse was ugly, his father died, and Yu Shi went to Wulin. My father, uncle, brother, doorman, craftsman, hidden fire and servant girl took it casually, and three generations of suicide notes were gone in one day.
I have collected books for forty years, no less than thirty thousand volumes. Yi You evaded the soldiers and took some gongs with him. According to the soldiers, the rest went to Jianggan every day. 40 years of accumulation, one day is gone. This is my book "Luck", which is especially good for everyone!
I lament the richness of ancient and modern books, without Sui and Tang Dynasties. Sui Jiaze Hall is divided into three categories, including red glass, glazed glass and painted axis. The temple is hung with brocade curtains and carved around the flying fairy. Fortunately for the emperor's study, if he practiced the secret machine, Fei Xian would draw the curtains and open the cupboard by himself. In the absence of the emperor, the door is closed as before. Sui Shu, 370,000 volumes. Tang moved the books in the warehouse to the main hall of the East Palace, where he bought a bachelor of arts and a bachelor of arts for access to the library.
Taifu gives 5000 copies of hemp paper to Shudu every month, 336 pills to Shanggu ink every quarter, and 5500 pieces of rabbit skins to Hejian, Jingcheng, Qinghe and Boping counties every year, followed by A, B, C and D ... 208,000 volumes of Tang Shu. My secretary can't beat me in the Ming Dynasty, even the book Yongle Dadian has accumulated a lot of libraries. There are so many books that cows are always afraid, how can they count!
Translation:
Three generations in our family have collected more than 30,000 books. My grandfather said to me, "of all the grandchildren, only you like reading." You can take any book you want. " So I chose my great-grandfather, the books revised by my great-grandfather, and the books left by my ancestors, and collected them into a book for collection. My grandfather was very happy and took away more than 2000 books for me.
Five years after the apocalypse (1625), my grandfather died and I happened to go to Hangzhou. These books were taken away at will by uncles, doormen, craftsmen and handmaiden, and the accumulated three generations of books were lost in one day.
I have been collecting books for 40 years since I was a child, and I have collected 30,000 books. In order to escape the war, Yi You-nian (1645) went to Shan Xi, and he didn't bring many books. The books he didn't bring were occupied by Qing soldiers, who tore them up and set them on fire every day, carried them to the river and hid them in shields to resist arrows. My 40 years of hard work was destroyed. This is the fate of my family book. Who is worse than this?
I then lamented that there were not as many books in ancient and modern times as in Sui and Tang Dynasties. What is commendable about the collection of books in the Sui Dynasty is that the library is divided into three classes, which are distinguished by red glass, glass and axis. The curtain embroidered with flying fairy in the study hall slowly hangs down from the temple column. When the emperor came to the library, as long as he stepped on the hidden organ, the brocade embroidered with flying fairy would rise and be put away, and the bookcase would automatically open; After the emperor left the main hall, everything recovered as before. There were 370,000 books in the Sui Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, the stacks were moved to the Li Zhengdian in the East Palace, and bachelor's positions were set up in the two schools of literature and art, which could be accessed by the general registration. Taifu supplies 5000 pieces of hemp paper from Shudu and 336 pills from Shanggu every month, and rabbit skins from Hejian, Jincheng, Qinghe and Boping are used as writing brushes every year 1500 pieces, which are distributed in the order of classics, history, children and collections. There are 208,000 books in the Tang Dynasty. I had countless secretaries in the Ming Dynasty, and the Yongle ceremony alone accumulated several piles.
It seems that my library has only nine Niu Yi hairs, so it can't be compared at all!
