There are Wenyuan Pavilion, Jinwen Pavilion and Wenlan Pavilion in Qing Dynasty, all of which are collections of Siku Quanshu.
In the Ming Dynasty, Fanqin Tianyi Pavilion was a private library.
There were books before the Zhou Dynasty, but they were not recorded in ancient books. In the Zhou Dynasty, there was an official named "Shi", who was in charge of the ambition of the four directions and the book of three emperors and five emperors. According to historical records, Lao Tzu is the "Tibetan history" of the Zhou Dynasty, and Ban Gu's "Han Shu Yi Wen Zhi" also says that Lao Tzu made history and read ancient and modern books. It can be seen that there is no doubt that Laozi was the librarian at that time. In order to travel around the world, you must read books from 120 countries. Zuo, a native of Chu, can read three graves, five classics, eight lines and nine hills by leaning against the phase. Mozi also said that he himself had read Hundred Schools of Spring and Autumn Annals. At that time, there were many libraries and rich collections, which can be seen here. The Western Han government attached importance to the book industry. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the government ordered the collection of books nationwide for the first time, and a large-scale library was established in the palace. Some people say that this is the first time in the history of our country to see a character library. Subsequently, Liu Xiang and his son started the proofreading and cataloging work of the second government-run library in the history of China. However, most of the above fears are collected by the state and cannot be borrowed by ordinary people.
So when did the public libraries in China start?
Generally speaking, the public library in China should be the earliest, founded in Guangxu 33 years (1907), with Duan Fangdu in Jiangsu. Of course, this can be said to be the earliest in naming, but in fact it can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty. According to the records of Guangxin Fuzhi, "Shao Xi and Qingyuan (the year numbers of Song Guangzong and Ningzong, 1 190- 1200), the magistrate, Gewen and Zhao Buyu (Jin Chen), built a library in Yanshan County, Jiangxi Province for the public to read. It is said that the Yi people didn't have books in the past. The scholar wanted to get sick, but he kept tens of thousands of books, which were divided into four parts: classics, history, books and collections, so that one person could hold the key. Visitors are guided into the building, and there are several degrees in the building so that you can have a panoramic view. " In addition, Jia Ci also recorded that a man named built a "Nest Classics Building" in Fuzhou, and there was a "Shang You Zhai" next to the building to collect a large number of books. People who need to borrow books can take books from the den to read, but they can't take them out.
