中国古代图书馆学的特征

On the Characteristics of Library Science in Ancient China

中国古代无“图书馆”“图书馆学”之名,但有图书馆和图书馆学之实。中国古代的图书馆和图书馆学是在“中国古代”这样一个特定的地域、时域中独立生发出来的,几乎未受异域文化的影响,因而具有显著的历史特色和民族特色。文章把中国古代图书馆学的特征概括为三方面:发展历史上的悠久性和自发性;思维方式上的本体性和价值性;论理方式上的非论证性和非学理性。

In ancient China,there were no proper names of“Library”and“Library Science”,but there were definitely libraries as well as studies on libraries.Libraries and Library Science in ancient China emerged independently in a specific place and time,and they were almost unaffected by foreign cultures.Therefore,they had significant historical and national characteristics.This paper is intended to summarize the characteristics of Library Science in ancient China from the following three perspectives,i.e.,the long history of spontaneous development,the ontological value of thinking mode,and the non-argumentative and non-academic rationality in logical reasoning.
