李渔为金陵翼圣堂书坊主人考辨——与《李渔与翼圣堂、芥子园书坊关系考辨》一文作者商榷

On LiYu Being the Master of the Jinling Yishengtang Bookshop

"金陵翼圣堂是明代就有的名肆"这一说法存在诸多疑点,故据此断定李渔与清初翼圣堂属于合作关系的说法是站不住脚的。李渔《与魏贞庵相国》书证明其多年雇佣刻工刻书;"门开书库绝穿窬"乃李渔的"诗家语",书库即指书坊;《资治新书》初集卷首所载李渔的《征文小启》说明等资料,证明李渔自述移家金陵后的书坊名翼圣堂,李渔就是清初金陵翼圣堂书坊的主人。

The legend that ＂Jinling Yishengtang is the most famous bookshop in Ming Dynasty＂ has many doubtful points. Consequently it can be thought that the old saying of LiYu being just the cooperator of the Yishengtang may not be the truth. LiYu＇ s book Prime Minister Wei Zhenan has proved that LiYu employed people to carve books for years. ＂Those people who ran a bookshop were always so poor that even the thief wouldn＇t come to burgle＂ is LiYu＇ s motto （＂ bookshop＂ actually refers to ＂stacks＂）. The information, like LiYu＇s article The Inspiration from Essay Collection which is the first chapter of Renovation, has already proved that ＂Yishengtang＂ was just the name of LiYu＇ s bookshop after he moved to Jinling. LiYu was the master of the Jinling Yishengtang bookshop.
