江标藏书生涯述略

A Brief Description of Jiang Biao's Collection Career

江标从小嗜书,他徜徉于苏州繁荣的书肆、书贾之间,又得苏州先辈藏书家黄丕烈、顾广圻的精神给养以及前辈叶昌炽等人的引导,由此产生传承苏州藏书家和藏书之学的志向。在游幕与仕宦期间,他朝夕研习版本目录书籍,并在与前辈藏家名士、同年同僚学友、各地书肆书贾的频繁往来中,进行了长足的实践。从江标的身上能清晰地看到,在晚清新学旧学交替之下,一个苏州的普通士子成长为著名版本目录家、藏书家的完整历程。这对研究清代的版本目录学、藏书史,以及探讨一个版本目录家的养成颇具意义。

Jiang Biao has had a passion for books since childhood.He has frequented the bustling bookshops and booksellers in Suzhou,drawing inspiration from the previous Suzhou book collectors Huang Pilie and Gu Guangqi,and receiving guidance from his predecessor Ye Changchi.His collection is a testament to his passion for books and his commitment to the preservation of them.Throughout his career and official duties,he dedicated himself to studying the edition catalogue books day and night,gaining considerable experience through frequent exchanges with his predecessors,famous collectors,colleagues,friends,as well as booksellers around the country.From Jiang Biao's career course,it can be seen clearly how an ordinary scholar in Suzhou has developed into a renowned bibliographer and book collector during the alternation between the old and new learning in the late Qing Dynasty,which is of great significance for us to study book collection,edition analysis,and the development of a cataloger in Qing Dynasty.
