天一阁藏书制度及借阅史实补考

Reexamination of Tianyi Pavilion Library Rules and Borrowing Historical Facts

天一阁建成距今已四百余年,为中国保存了大量珍贵典籍,文化影响极为深远。其楼及藏书能保存至今,与范家制定并得到严格执行的藏书制度有莫大关系。在明清学者眼中,正是范家对守书制度的坚守让天一阁及其中收藏的典籍得以保存留传,因此他们纷纷表达赞赏并积极效仿。历史文献中有诸多学者借阅天一阁藏书的记载,可见范家既珍视所藏典籍又注重其社会功能的实现。

With a history of more than 400 years, Tianyi Pavilion library has preserved a large number of precious books for China and has a profound cultural impact. The preservation of the pavilion and the collection of books to the present is closely related to the library rules made by the Fan family and their strict implementation. In the eyes of scholars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was Fan’s adherence to the book-collecting system that allowed Tianyi Pavilion library and its collection of books to be preserved and passed on, so they expressed their appreciation and actively imitated it. There are records in the literature that many scholars borrowed books fromTianyi Pavilion library, showing that the Fan family cherished the documents and stressed the realization of their social functions.
