Ye Dehui

Ye Dehui (1864-1927), a native of Xiangtan, Hunan Province, was born in Dongting Dongshan, Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province. In 1892, he was a Jinshi in the same year as Zhang Yuanji and Li Xisheng. All three of them were in charge of different departments. Soon after he arrived at the Ministry of official affairs, ye Dehui resigned and returned to Xiangli.

brief introduction

Ye Dehui (1864-1927), whose name is huanbin (also known as huanbin), is a native of Xiangtan, Hunan Province. He is named Zhishan and YingYuan. His ancestral home is Dongting Dongshan, Wu County, Suzhou. He was the censor of the former Qing Dynasty, and also a famous book collector and publisher. But for more than half a century, few people mentioned it. Because of his conservative political position, during the 1927 revolution, he called the peasant movement led by Mao Zedong a "ruffian movement" and was executed by the peasant association as a "local tyrant and evil gentry". Ye Dehui, a typologist. His father ye Yucun was originally from Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province. He moved to Changsha during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom war and later took Xiangtan as his home. Ye Dehui was born in Changsha in 1864 (the third year of Tongzhi). He entered school at the age of 8 and studied four books, Shuowen Jiezi, Zizhi Tongjian and other traditional books. At the age of 17, he studied in Yuelu Academy. He was elected in 1885 (the 11th year of Guangxu). Seven years later, he became a scholar again and taught the Ministry of officials. Soon, in the name of begging for support, he asked for a long vacation to return home. Ye Dehui was good at edition bibliography. After returning to Changsha, he compiled the bibliography series of guangutang, wrote a systematic Book History shulinqinghua, printed the ancient and modern Xia Shi Biao, and published the secret history of the Yuan Dynasty. Because of his remarkable academic achievements, he became more and more famous among Hunan scholars. However, ye Dehui's political thought was relatively conservative. He opposed the reform in the reform movement and compiled the series of Yijiao to protect the ethics. He shunned Nanyue monk temple during the 1911 Revolution and became the president of provincial education in 1915. He initiated the establishment of the Confucian classics society and compiled the lecture notes of the Confucian classics general visit. When Yuan Shikai was restored to the throne, he organized the Hunan Branch of the preparatory and security association to support the restoration of the monarchy. In April 1927, he was elected by Hunan provincial government Organizations from all walks of life of agriculture, industry and Commerce held a general meeting to execute.

He studied in Changsha Yuelu Academy in 1880 (the sixth year of Guangxu). He was elected in 1885 and became a Jinshi in 1892. During the reform period, they attacked Kang and Liang's reform thoughts fiercely and destroyed Hunan's new deal. Tang Caichang failed to organize the uprising of the self-supporting army. He collected works on the uprising of the Conservatives and compiled four volumes of jueminyaolu.

In 1910, a flood occurred in Hunan Province. He accumulated grain to make a living, which aroused the rice rush in Changsha. He was removed from his official position by the Qing government.

In 1915, Yuan Shikai restored the monarchy. He initiated the establishment of the preparatory branch in Hunan and served as the president.

In 1927, he was killed by the peasants for destroying the Northern Expedition and the workers and peasants movement.

He is good at Confucian classics, especially at catalogue edition. He has written and proofread hundreds of books. His works include shulinqinghua, liushuguwei, YingYuan series, guangutang Huike and shuangmeijingyin series.

I'm afraid that no one in our country's Edition bibliography and even Chinese cultural history scholars is familiar with Ye Dehui's Shulin Qinghua, which is a famous book in the modern academic history in parallel with ye Changchi's book collection chronicle poem.

Ye's family was originally from Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province, and his grandfather Ye shiye moved to Hunan in the last years of Daoguang because he avoided the war. Therefore, ye Dehui called himself a Wu people, and he once presided over the compilation of Ye's genealogy in Wuzhong. The Ye family originally had a small collection of books, while ye Dehui himself started his book collecting career by visiting Liulichang and longfu Temple bookstores every day when he joined the Beijing assembly in the 12th year of Guangxu. After that, no matter he lived in Hunan, visited the capital or stayed in Wuzhong, he would pay attention to it at any time. During the reign of Emperor Guangxu, Yuan Fangying, a great book collector in Xiangtan, scattered his books. Most of the excellent works were obtained by Li Shengduo. Ye Dehui could not fight against Li Shengduo in terms of financial resources and power, but he also gained a lot by picking up the remnants. Later, ye Dehui bought 20 boxes of old books from Song's Weixiao cottage in Shangqiu and Kong's HONGPU bookstore in Qufu in Beijing. By the year of the 1911 Revolution, Ye's guangutang had more than 4000 books and 200000 volumes. Later, there was a continuation of the collection. Ye qiluo, the son of Ye Dehui, once described in the postscript to the catalogue of guangutang collection: "when you come back every year, there must be many new and old books. There are many cupboards full of corridors and verandahs, and you can't run out of them. Although you have a habit of good books in your life, it's not easy

Scholarship and Book Collection

Ye Dehui mainly studied Confucian classics and primary school, so guangutang collected a lot of these two kinds of books, especially the works of the Qing Dynasty. Ye appreciated Chen Wenshu's and Shu Wei's book Dianjianglu of Qianjia poetry, and intended to continue the collection of Dianjianglu of Qianjia poetry, so he paid special attention to the collection of Qianjia poetry Write a summary to record the author's life story, the origin of the poem, the origin of the school and so on. Ye Dehui is not a sycophant for the Song Dynasty in his book collection, so he highly praised Zhang Zhidong's book list answering, which was mainly carved in the Qing Dynasty and did not list the old ones in the song and Yuan Dynasties. In his famous book Shulin Qinghua, ye Dehui repeatedly criticized the shortcomings of the book collectors in "cherishing the past for the present". His own book collection even took Shuowen Jiezi Yizheng, which was carved by Gui Fu in the second year of Xianfeng, as the treasure of the town library. However, there are also some ancient books in guangutang, such as Wei Suzhou collection and Nan Yu Zongsheng collection. In Ye Dehui's own words, "although it is rare in the song and Yuan Dynasties, there is a taste of it from time to time."

Ye Dehui's catalogue includes four volumes of the catalogue of guangutang. It was first compiled in the 278 years of the reign of Emperor Guangxu (1901-1902). During the 1911 Revolution, it was re compiled in nanzhuting Township, bianluan county. Later, it was revised one after another. It was engraved in guangutang in 1915. Ye Dehui also has sixteen volumes of YingYuan reading annals, which is a collection of Ye's prefaces and postscripts. In 1928, Shanghai Danyuan journal published the eleventh to fourteenth volumes of which are the records of the generals in Qianjia poetry circle.

Ye Dehui was also a great calligrapher at the end of the Qing Dynasty. He once engraved "Huike book of guangutang", "books published by guangutang", "Lilou series", "double plum scenery dark series", "Bibliographic series of guangutang", etc. Ye Dehui once published the song edition of Nanyue Zongsheng Ji, which is said to be lifelike. Even Yang Shoujing, who is good at the edition, mistook it for the true song edition and bought it at a high price. In 1935, Ye's descendants compiled 129 kinds of YingYuan Quanshu, 200 volumes, in the name of & quot; China Ancient Books Publishing House & quot.

Among Ye Dehui's works, shulinqinghua is the most influential. At that time, ye Dehui felt that ye Changchi's book collection chronicle poetry was based on anecdotes of book collectors, without the fact that it had been printed and collated in the past dynasties. Instead, he developed a new way. It was composed of ten volumes of shulinqinghua, and later two volumes of shulinyuhua. In 1957, the Ancient Books Publishing House published a co printed version, and in 1987, the Zhonghua Book Company photocopies.

The family has more than 4000 books, more than 100000 volumes, and the number of duplicate and other books is more than that of the four libraries. The rare and well-known copies, such as Tao Te Ching, index of six books, Guan Ge Lu, supplement to San Jia Shi and Xin Jia Xuan Ci, are also very precious. Some libraries are called "guangutang", "YingYuan" and "Lilou", which are also called "Beifu Nanye" with Fu Zengxiang. In his later years, except for a few scattered books, most of them were sold to the Japanese by his descendants Ye Qimao and ye Qimu. This is another large-scale outflow of Chinese ancient books since the Song Dynasty building. Now there are only dozens of old objects of guangutang in China. Only more than 30 of them are now in Hunan Library. They are all called rare books. The gold and stone collection office is called "Zhou Qing Kong Si room", the spring collection office is called "Gui Huo Zhai", the book writing office is called "Guan Gu Tang", and the book collection is printed with the words "Li Lou", "Guan Gu Tang Cang", "Wai Lang", "Huan bin", "Ye Dehui's collection of rare ancient books", "Ying yuan", "Gui Huo Zhai", "Ye Li Lou's collection", "Li Lou" More than 20 pieces of "calligraphy and painting seen in Zhishan" were collected.

criticism

Zhou Zuoren talked about ye Dehui in his essays after dinner. He said that ye was the emperor's draft girl. She was too skinny to be brave and got ahead of others. The girl she insulted later became a cadre of the peasant association, and ye naturally died. In Zhuzhi chronicle poem compiled by Qiu Liangren, Changsha Zhuzhi poem says: "there are two hills in Shi Shi", which alludes to the book of songs · Wang Feng · there are hemp in the hills, ridiculing Ye Dehui and Wang Xianqian as pockmarks, reflecting the fact that in the middle of the rice rush in Changsha at that time, Wang and Wang hoarded and lived in strange places and were not benevolent. Zhou Shao's "Twilight Sketches: reading forbidden books behind closed doors on a snowy night" mentions that ye Dehui compiled a small book, which was presented to guests every family dinner. Unfortunately, Zhou Shao's words are not clear. He also says that his book may be of great benefit to v. Gulik's writing of "Chinese ancient indoor examination", which seems to refer to Ye Dehui's writing of "medical mind" from the Japanese Yongguan period (982-984) There are four ancient Chinese Fangzhong classics in Fang: Su Nu Jing, Su Nu Fang, secret of Yu Fang and Dong Xuan Zi. These four kinds of books later became a part of Shuangmei Yingan series. The above cited, a scale and a half claw, there is inevitably a sense of scratch. However, there is a rare book written for ye Dehui, who has the most voice. This is Yang Jun and his anthology spirit of the thatched cottage. Yang Jun (1881-1940) was born in Xiangtan, Hunan Province. His brother Yang Du was a prominent figure in modern Chinese politics. Both brothers were educated by Wang Xiangqi, a master of Hunan Province. It can be seen from the book that ye Dehui had a close relationship with Yang Jun. Ye said to people that Yang "can make his own door and make his own decline, which can be compared with Han Yu.". But Yang Jun is not appreciative, saying that ye's character is "extremely eccentric and impersonal", "arrogant and slow"
