Abstract:
The private libraries in Hubei Province were prosperous from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China and a large number of famous bibliophiles emerged in this period,such as Yang Shoujing in Yidu,Ke Fengshi in Daye,Xu Xingke in Wuchang,Zhou Zhenliang in Hanyang and so on. But in terms of the integrity of the collection of books,the openness of its use,and the far reaching influence,Xu Xingke was the most outstanding one among them. The formation of Xu's ideas of library,such as “books are for the use of scholars”,“books are not property,so they should be public instead of private”,and “books were stored for true talents,not one family” was closely related to his own education and social experience. This paper made a comprehensive and systematic investigation of Xu Xingke's social interaction through his diaries,letters,literatures,and memoirs and interviews of his descendants.
Xu's friends could be roughly divided into the following three circles according to their professions. The first one was the circle of bibliophile friends,most of whom became friends with Xu on his way to visit books in Wuhan and other regions in Hubei,Hunan,Anhui,Zhejiang,Jiangsu,Beijing,Nanjing,Shanghai and other places. Yang Shoujing,Liu Chenggan,Lu Bi,Xu Naichang,Lun Ming,Ye Jingkui were the famous ones. The second one was the circle of friends in academia. As a scholar Xu Xingke's most contacts were scholars from Hubei and Hunan provinces,such as Huang Kan,Xiong Huizhen,Wang Baoxin,Xiong Shili,Huang Zhuo,Yi Junshi,Feng Yongxuan,Yu Jiaxi,Yang Shuda,etc. The second most contacts were scholars from Jiangsu and Zhejiang,such as Zhang Taiyan,Chen Hanzhang,Wang Dalong,Ma Yifu,Chen Naiqian,Zhang Yuanji,etc. Then came the scholars from Anhui,such as Hu Puan,Hu Shi,Su Xichang,Wu Jianzhai,etc. The third circle involved friends of librarianship. Because of his collection of books,Xu Xingke kept a close relationship with library scholars,such as Shen Zurong,Mao Kun,Pan Chengbi,Zhang Zongxiang,Xu Senyu and He Changqun. Through contacts with all kinds of friends,Xu Xingke had not only broadened his vision and mind,but also nourished the cultural spirit of loving and protecting ancient books,and deeply understood the importance of mutual reciprocity and mutual benefit.
In brief,Xu Xingke was a representative figure of bibliophiles in the Republic of China. He learned from different teachers,gathered ancient books to study by himself,and eventually succeeded. He found a way to become a talent through self study outside the traditional education system. He was a traditional book collector,but he did not isolate his collections. On the contrary,he shared his collections with like minded scholars. He was a scholar of the old style,but he had an opened mind. He consciously accepted the ideas of the new style library,circulated his books with an opened attitude,and finally turned his private books into public ones. All around him,a group of first class scholars of the Republic of China gathered for buying,copying,borrowing,selling,collecting,reading,proofreading,compiling,engraving and discussing ancient books. The interaction among them about ancient books formed a good academic atmosphere for the collection,collation,publication and utilization of ancient books,which became a part of the academic ecology of the Republic of China. 1 fig. 44 refs.
中文摘要:
      徐行可以其藏书保存的完整性、版本价值的学术性、阅读利用的开放性,以及“书为士所用”“书非赀财,自当化私为公”“不为一家之蓄,俟诸三代之英”等藏书思想,成为民国时期湖北乃至全国藏书家的优秀代表。本文根据前代学者遗存的日记、信札、徐氏后人的回忆及访谈资料,按照藏书界、学术界、图书馆界三大职业圈子的划分,对徐行可的交游情况进行叙事性的历史考察,从徐氏与其友人之间的抄书、借书、鬻书、藏书、读书、校书、编书、刻书、论书等活动中,探寻徐行可藏书思想的形成轨迹,在一定程度上揭示了民国时期的学术生态。图1。参考文献44。
