"rite" And "national Beiping Yuan With The Library

The dispute of the National Library of Peiping (NLP in abbreviation) to move south was an episode, which occurred in the War of Resistance Against Japan in the early year1938. Due to the character of running jointly of the NLP, this dispute became very different from many other national libraries’move south. The paper aims to reconstruct the course of the dispute by researching deliberately relevant documents and letters in those days, to explore the cause and solution and to reveal the Associate Director of the NLP, Yuan T’ung-li, who adhered to principle that the NLP should move south. The paper also discusses the work personality of Mr. Yuan.Chapter Ⅰ outlines the origins of the dispute, analyzes the background when Mr.Yuan had gone down south, and introduces two rehabilitation schemes was made by Mr.Yuan and denied by the China Foundation (full name is the China Foundation for the Promotion of Education and Culture)Chapter Ⅱ attempts to comb these disputes of all parties, states clearly the views and positions of disputers.Chapter Ⅲ combs the way to solve this dispute. The paper points out that the China Foundation rejected the NLP to move south so firmly that did not change the former decisions when had to reconsider its. At the same time. Mr.Yuan and his colleagues insisted that the NLP should move to Kunming. As a result, the dispute may go on and on. Finally, the Department of Education’s mandate ended the dispute, when the situations of the war went worse. It shows that the situation played an extremely important role in those days.Chapter IV attempts to study the causes of the dispute and to reveal the work personality of Mr. Yuan. The paper claims that two rehabilitation schemes may share blame for the disputes to come up. The whole interests of the staff in the NLP had been divided when the first scheme was made, as a result, those clerks remained in Peiping could be layoff. The second scheme made the problems worse. But after the fall of Peiping and most of rare books in the library was moved to south, in that case, two schemes was necessary to the future of the NLP. The problem just was who could stand out to make the schemes and to offend his colleagues remained in Peiping. and what Mr.Yuan made rehabilitation schemes just played the role in the context. The China Foundation intervened in the event, spared the library property and maintained the interests of the staff remained in Peiping. On the other hand, the China Foundation also made an irrational judgment about the development of the NLP. The reason why the China Foundation made a poor judgment is that it had little information about the fact that most of rare books in the library hand been moved to south. In the dispute about the future of the NLP, The work personality of Mr. Yuan could be founded in those relevant documents and letters.
