论类书的流弊及其学术价值

Research on the Abuse and Academic Value of Leishu

类书是古人读书治学的万宝全书,但类书与文学、科举结合一旦太过,或者是读书人为了功名利禄而滥用类书,类书必然走向僵化,成为"獭祭"、"饾饤"、"剽窃"、"腐烂"之书而被有识之士口诛笔伐;读书人的急功近利、投机取巧使类书流弊日甚,但类书的生命力却是顽强的,存在的重要性也是无可替代的,这就是千百年来类书绵延不绝的主要原因。

＂Leishu＂ had a great influence on ancient Chinese people,which was an important tool for study and scholarly research.If＂Leishu＂ was combined too closely with Literature and Imperial Examination or readers abused＂Leishu＂ to pursue fame and fortune,＂Leishu＂ inevitably moved towards fossilization and became ＂taji＂,＂douding＂,＂plagiarism＂ or ＂vulgar＂ book which led to serious criticism by people of knowledge.The thought of seeking quick success and gambling psychology of readers made its drawback worse day by day.However,the vitality of＂Leishu＂ was tenacious and the importance of the presence was irreplaceable,which was the main reason for its long term existence.
