| Complete Works of the Four Databases is the largest comprehensive series of books in ancient China compiled by the Qing court in the Qianlong period,bringing together the important books and classics of ancient China before Qianlong,and is a systematic collation and summary of China's historical cultural classics.It is large and thoughtful,strict classification,more than 10,000 kinds of bibliographic classics,the use of three-level categories to construct a classification system;the body is complete,with summaries and large and small orders,is China's classical bibliography collection of masterpieces and Qing Dynasty bibliography of the highest achievements of the masterpiece,contains extremely rich cultural academic and bibliographic value,its classification system has always been valued.It has six kinds of classification and interpretation methods:holy sayings,examples,partial orders,class orders,case words,and summaries,and is the most complete one of the classification and interpretation methods in the ancient bibliography.The purpose of classical bibliography is to "distinguish the academics of the chapters and examine the source of the mirror",and regard it as the door to reading and governing learning.Ancient bibliographies were built through subordinate books,and during the Wei and Jin Dynasties,the academic system of traditional Chinese culture underwent tremendous changes,and the six-point method began to change to a four-point method;after the Sui and Tang dynasties,the four-point method of historical subsets became the mainstream and orthodox classification of classics.General Catalogue of the Complete Works of the Four Databases still adopts the four-point method,divided into forty-four categories by the subset of history,the forty-four categories are summarized by the sixty-six subheadings,and the sixty-six subheadings are combined from the various classics,and the three-level subordinate structure,namely:department-category-sub-heading-specific classics,with the help of layers of subordination to establish the Qing Dynasty academic system.General Catalogue of the Complete Works of the Four Databases divides books into "bibliographies" and "existing books",which is a major feature of its book collection,and it is also a major innovation in the history of bibliography,which includes pseudo-books,fragmentary books,vulgar books,and heretical books by means of archival examples.First Presentation General Catalogue of the Complete Works of the Four Databases is the first complete and systematic classification of scattered summaries,followed by the Essence General Catalogue of the Complete Works of the Four Databases to the General Catalogue of the Complete Works of the Four Databases to respect the classification system.The classification methods of their classics are compared horizontally and vertically,the reasons for the classification differences are analyzed,and the development and evolution process of the classification of the classics within the SikuGuan is clarified,which is helpful in understanding the construction of the classification system of the General Catalogue of the Complete Works of the Four Databases from a dynamic perspective.According to the principle of chronological order,the General Catalogue of the Complete Works of the Four Databases is based on the principle of chronology,and the "number of volumes according to the number of volumes" is set up in order to"gather appropriately,and the number is moderate",which is the inheritance of the important subordination principle in the taxonomy of ancient Chinese books.The"General Catalogue of the Four Libraries" is good at innovating class examples,relying on appendices and miscellaneous categories,concise categories,and subdividing several sub-categories for categories with large and complex contents and more books,resolving the contradiction between the classification of books with many books,miscellaneous books,and complicated types.Bibliography is the writing method of Chinese academic history,no matter what kind of bibliographic works are all aimed at "discerning the academic chapters and examining the source of the mirror",the General Catalogue of the Complete Works of the Four Databases is an official revision bibliography led by the official government,compared with the private bibliography,the official revision bibliography is more political,and strive to collect the classics that are intended for the people to be in order to educate people's hearts and maintain the ruling regime.General Catalogue of the Complete Works of the Four Databases divides the fourteen sub-categories into four levels:all the affairs of the rulers,the observable people of the small path,the reference of the marginal resources,and the foreign scholars,and arranges the order of the categories according to the social status of the compilers of the classics or the social status of the characters involved in the classics,which is the embodiment of its classification system of classics based on the political indoctrination and human morality and Yi often reflected in the content of the literature,and the orthodox cultural concept of respecting Confucianism,using the scriptures for the world,and emphasizing the Tao.In addition,according to the principle of chronology,the number of texts compiled in General Catalogue of the Complete Works of the Four Databases is based on the principle of chronology,and the number of volumes is set up in order to "gather appropriately and be moderately balanced",which is a good inheritance of the important principle of subordination in the taxonomy of ancient Chinese books.General Catalogue of the Complete Works of the Four Databases was compiled in the Qing Dynasty,when the classical catalogue has spanned more than a thousand years of development,and is in the stage of completion and summary,and many bibliographies of the previous generation can be used for reference and borrowing.Sikuguan ministers heeled things to increase their glory,considered the ancient and modern,chose the good and followed,summed up the gains and losses of the classification method of the bibliographies of previous dynasties,followed the principle of setting up categories according to the book classification,added,deleted,and changed the categories according to the situation of the books in exile at that time,and made appropriate adjustments to the names and order of the categories,examined and approved the contents of the books received one by one,corrected the fallacies of the classification of predecessors,avoided the mistakes of the round chisel,and strived to correspond with the academic and book status quo of the Qianlong period,so that the classification could better reflect the growth of the classics at that time,and analyze the characteristics and development and flux of each scholarship.Give play to the function of governance.General Catalogue of the Complete Works of the Four Databases also has shortcomings in the classification of classics,such as the classification system is guided by Confucian guidance and excludes other schools;the view of the portal is deep;the boundaries of categories are unclear;and the classification of specific classics is improper.Summarizing and summarizing the gains and losses of the classification system of ancient classics in the General Catalogue of the Complete Works of the Four Databases has positive guidance and reference significance for the collation of ancient books... |
