Personal life

Ji Zhenyi is less talented, intelligent, readable, poetic style and diligent scholarship, which is particularly praised.

In the third year of Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty, Zhenyi was elected to the middle school. He was 17 years old at that time and became a Jinshi in the second year. Ji Zhenyi was appointed magistrate of Lanxi County in Zhejiang Province at the beginning. He was promoted to the head of the Ministry of punishment. He successively served as a member of the Ministry of justice, wailang, a doctor, and the censor of Guangxi Dao. Later, he was elected the censor of Zhejiang Dao. He did his duty for the officials with awe inspiring manner. He played dozens of chapters and impeached many important officials repeatedly. He talked about things, offered advice and selected many talents to build up the White House. Liu Zhengzong, a bachelor, Huang tingji, a minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and Yue Sitai, a servant, were defeated by Ji Zhenyi because they wanted to monopolize power, formed parties for personal gain, and accepted bribes.

In the ninth year of Kangxi reign, Ji Zhenyi was assigned to the river engineering department. After an interview with Lian, he learned that in addition to the normal river management service, the chief minister of the river sent more money and grain to the States and counties in the name of helping the people. The States and counties had to apportion money and grain to the people, but the people had no choice but to flee. Ji Zhenyi will play on this situation, imploring the emperor to free the people from extra burden. Kangxi approved Ji Zhenyi's Memorial, exempting his county from 27 000 taels of Hefu silver. At the same time, all the States and counties of Yangzhou were relieved. Ji Zhenyi wrote a memorial to explain the sufferings of thousands of people and became famous in the countryside. After that, Ji Zhenyi visited the east of Yanhe River (now east of the Yellow River in Shanxi Province) and soon begged to return.

Although Ji Zhenyi's official voice is very good, it is his book collection that makes him more influential in history.

Ancestors

Ji Jia was a famous family in Jijia city. After Ji Zhenyi's father Ji Yuyong became an official, he moved his family to Chaoyang Pu in Taixing county. On the left side of the county school palace, he built a garden (located in the Xianhe Bay scenic belt in today's Taixing City), with a radius of more than three li. He dug a stone mound, dredged the flow into a pool, with a platform high, a pavilion below, a winding corridor, and surrounded by mountains and water. In the garden, there is a osmanthus tree planted by Sun Yi, a sage of the Song Dynasty. It is surrounded by ten big trees with curly roots and lush green. Therefore, the garden is named "Jiashu". When flowers bloom, brothers Kaisheng and Zhenyi sing poems with their friends under the trees, sprinkle wine and wish: "seeing trees is like seeing people, we should not be like this?" there are "Chunliu reading hall", "Jingsi hall" and "Xinyi hall" in the garden, which are later Ji Kaisheng's and Ji Zhenyi's reading places when they were young. Later, his younger brother Chang Ling built an "East Garden", and his third younger brother Ji Zhen built a "Japanese Garden" in the north of the city (today's garden river of Taixing City). There are Ji's gardens in all four corners of the city. Now "Xiyuan" and "Dongyuan" have become the names of administrative villages, from which Gai evolved.

Family details

Ji Sanqing, the grandfather of Ji Zhenyi, had four sons. Jinyong, the eldest son, was the Vice Minister of Wanli Dynasty in Ming Dynasty. The second son, Yu Yong (that is, Ji Zhenyi's father), was elected in the first year of Qi's reign tomorrow. He was a Jinshi in the middle of the next year. He was appointed to the county magistrate of Yuyao, Linhai, Zhejiang Province and Xiangfu (now Kaifeng City) in Henan Province. When he was 70 years old, he still helped Taixing county magistrate Chen Li to resist the pirates and deal with other chaotic affairs. At the age of 84, he was worshipped in the Xiangxian temple. Four sons Dao Yong, Qing Shunzhi three years old tribute, Ren Hu Guangxing state magistrate.

His elder brother Ji Kaisheng and himself are also Jinshi. They both deal with books, which can be called family origin. In addition to being an official, Ji family also managed salt industry, which laid a rich material foundation for his book purchase. Ji Yuyong collected not only books, but also calligraphy and painting. Wang Xizhi's copy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty "Shenlong Lanting" and Huang Gongwang's "Fu Chun Shan Ju Tu" were collected by him. Half of the painting is now in Zhejiang Museum and the other half in the Palace Museum of Taiwan. In Ji Zhenyi's hands, he went all over the south of the Yangtze River to search for a lot of books. In addition, Mao Jin and Qian Zeng collected books, so his collection was "the richest in the world". There are more than 27000 volumes of song edition, Yuan edition and transcripts in jingsitang and Xinyi Hall of Jiashu garden. He once compiled the song edition of his collection into the Yanling song edition Bibliography (also known as Ji cangwei bibliography), which was later engraved and handed down by Huang pilie, a person of Qianlong period and a emendator. Ji Zhenyi's books are printed with "Song edition", "chapter of imperial censor", "Ziyu YuanJu treasure carving", "Ji cangwei's secretary", "cangwei", "Ji Zhenyi's reading", "Ji Zhenyi's name is Shenxi cangwei" and "Ji Zhenyi's books" and so on. We can identify the editions according to them. Ji Zhenyi was honored as the "master of rare books catalogue" because of his accurate record of the collection.

Ji Cang Wei collection bibliography volume, volume section title "Yanling song edition bibliography", describes about 1000 kinds of books, the arrangement order is absurd, records the version is very brief, or engraved or copied, does not specify the times. Ji Zhenyi inherited some secret books collected by King Qian Zun, which constituted an important link in the origin of book collection in Qing Dynasty. In the 10th year of Jiaqing period, Huang Pi lie collated and sorted out the collected editions of Ji Cang Wei, and made a brief introduction to the directions of the collected editions, which increased their utilization value and set a precedent for annotated bibliography of Zhijian edition, which was included in Shi Li Ju series.

Ji Zhenyi and Qian used to be contemporaries. Qian Qianyi, Qian Zeng's family uncle, was a famous scholar in the late Ming Dynasty. The owner of the bookstore often asked him to identify the authenticity of the editions, so Qian Qianyi had a rich collection. After Qian Qianyi's death, the collection of books belonged to Qian Zeng. Originally, Qian Zeng's collection of books should be better than Ji Zhenyi's, but Qian Zeng's collection of a kind of "whirlwind style" book filled his eyes. Zhang Yuanji of the Commercial Press quoted Qian Zeng as saying in his Hanfen Lou Jinyu Shulu: "the Tang rhyme written by Wu cailuan was written by me at home in Taixing. Because I saw it at home, I was making a whirlwind leaf scroll, and its decoration is not well known today." This kind of "whirlwind Costume", also known as "dragon scale Costume", is only one in the collection of the Palace Museum.

Collectors

His father, Ji Yuyong, is a scholar of Qijin and a minister of the Ministry of government. He likes painting and calligraphy and collection. He once built a collection of painting and calligraphy as "Jiashuyuan" and a seal of "Ji Yuyong's collection of painting and calligraphy".

At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the collection of books was very popular, one was the need of learning, the other was the social fashion. Mao Jin, Changshu, built a "Jigu Pavilion" collection of books, of which many were engraved in song and Yuan Dynasties. He also presided over the proofreading and engraving of thirteen classics, seventeen histories and other books, and copied rare secret books with excellent writing. Later generations called it "Maochao". Mao family did not lag behind, and his descendants sold more books to Ji Zhenyi. Qian Qianyi, a famous scholar, built the "Jiangyun building" to collect books. In the seventh year of Shunzhi, the building and the 73 books were destroyed by fire. After surviving in the song and Yuan Dynasty, they were given to Qian Zeng, his nephew. Qian Zeng was also a famous book collector in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. There were 2295 kinds of books in shugutang collection and song edition. Later, he collected more than 3800 kinds of books with shugutang collection. After Qian Zeng's death, the collection of books also belonged to Ji Zhenyi. There are a lot of excellent books. The library is called "jingsitang". The Five Classics Collection Room, the book of changes, the book of songs, the book of Shang and the spring and Autumn Annals, which were all engraved by Emperor Qianlong, were all printed in the Song Dynasty.

Ji cangwei bibliography is composed of four parts: Yanling song edition bibliography, Song Yuan Miscellaneous edition bibliography, Chongzhen almanac general catalogue and Jingjie catalogue, with 1200 kinds and 27000 volumes. About Qian Zeng's collection of books, the description in this bibliography is more detailed than shugutang bibliography. Huang Pi lie wrote a preface for this purpose. The book collection is printed with "Ji Zhenyi's book collection", "cangwei", "history of my way in Cangzhou and under the column", "half window bright moon", "familiar reading and thinking", "books of the ancients for thousands of years", "Ji's family collection", "envoys of two rivers", "chapter of Yushi", "chapter of Yushi Zhenyi", "chapter of Pingzhang Jizi's book collection", "Ji Zhenyi's name is Shenjin cangwei", "chapter of Pingyang Jizi" ”And so on. After his death, all the books in his collection belonged to Xu Qianxue's "zhuanshilou" and Qing neifu.

Ziji Yingzhao, the word Kui collection, the word Puzheng, the name baizishan people, can also collect books. Some books are printed as "leizhai", "jiyingzhao" and so on. He is good at drawing cats. Those who get it stick to the wall to scare rats, and have the reputation of "live cat is not as good as season cat".

Ji Zhenyi is not only a famous book collector, but also a publisher and collation. The edition appraisal of ancient books (written by Li Zhizhong) published by the Cultural Relics Publishing House in 1997 has repeatedly discussed his contribution to the collation of 100 Classics, classics, history, poetry and Fu. It took him 10 years to compile Tang poetry into a collection of 717 volumes and 160 volumes, which included 42931 poems of 1859 authors. Kangxi Yuding's collection of Tang poetry was based on this. He also wrote two volumes of Tingyu Lou Ji, jingsitang Ji, Shigao and Zhushu, which are scattered everywhere. The collection of Ji's family came out in the late Qianlong period. In the second year of Jiaqing, the later edition of Tianlu Linlang bibliography contains the old collection of Ji Zhenyi's family. It is said that it was introduced by he Yimen. Part of it belongs to Prince Yi. Later, Prince Yi was killed and sent to the people. Some of it has been exiled among the people. In the fourteenth year of the Republic of China, the Qing Dynasty's aftercare Committee counted the books. Later, the Palace Museum was established, and the books were collected together with "wenyuange". When the Kuomintang retreated, they were taken to Taiwan. It is unknown whether Ji's old collection might be included.
