Library System in Song Dynasty: An Important Period for the Development of China Library.
When it comes to the Song Dynasty, people's first reaction is mostly a dynasty that values literature over martial arts and is poor and weak. Only half of the country has to rely on the tribute of courtiers to maintain it! However, it was in this dynasty that the world's most developed economy, science and technology and culture were possessed, especially the pavilions and pavilions that managed books, which had a far-reaching impact on the Song Dynasty and its descendants. First, the special position of the museum The library system in Song Dynasty has the dual functions of editing, proofreading and collection. At that time, people not only paid attention to the compilation and engraving of books, but also paid attention to the construction of pavilions. Pavilion staff are appointed by the imperial court to be in charge, belonging to state-owned institutions! Although the Song Dynasty was peaceful and its military power could not compete with other dynasties, with its strong comprehensive national strength (especially in economy and culture), the people's lives were relatively comfortable and the commodity economy was unprecedentedly prosperous. With the material foundation as the support, national cultural undertakings can flourish. Among the rulers of the past dynasties, the ruler of the Song Dynasty paid the most attention to the national library collection. According to Song Taizong, the Ancestral Family of Song Gao, when Song Renzong ascended the throne, he visited three pavilions and saw: "The pass is narrow and rough, only sheltering from the wind and rain, and the guards are dead, making noise day and night. Every time he was written, he moved to his residence, and the building was dilapidated, with only 12,000 books. "Song Taizong couldn't help feeling, how can a place like this hide everything? Worried about the library environment here, he immediately ordered the construction of three other libraries in Tohokuin, Zuoshenglongmen, and personally put forward the design requirements. Song Renzong not only inspected before construction, urged during construction and evaluated after completion, but also under the urging of Song Renzong, three museums were successfully built, namely Zhaowen Museum, Jixian Academy and History Museum. "Through the ages" has been in it; The Emperor of Song Dynasty not only attached great importance to the construction of pavilions, but also cared about the management of books. Song Zhenzong once heard that someone borrowed books and refused to return them, and immediately ordered the competent authorities to strictly restrain and strengthen management. The emperor of the Song Dynasty attached so much importance to the collection of books, which was not only related to the national conditions of "serious ministers" at that time, but also related to people who liked to read and write. Song Taizong once said, "Opening books is beneficial, but I don't think it is a waste. "He believes that books are the foundation of education and the source of chaos. Read more books and read good books, all for the "pre-school generation." "With a certain collection scale, you don't have to' completely rely on others' when you encounter major events. It is precisely for this reason that since the founding of the People's Republic of China in the Song Dynasty, people in the ruling and opposition circles and on the streets have made book collection a top priority! Second, the treatment of the staff in the museum Since the Song Dynasty attached so much importance to the museum, it certainly attached great importance to the staff. In order to encourage the enthusiasm of the staff in the museum, the staff in the Song Dynasty had a high status. Song Taizu once gave such an order that when discussing state affairs, the staff of the three museums must be present; When the emperor meets the new Jinshi, the staff of the three museums also need to accompany them to answer and consult; Even when the emperor visited and attended the banquet, the staff of the three museums should accompany him; Song Taizong once told his courtiers that Santing's work was "light and expensive". If possible, he would rather not be an emperor, and it is also a good thing to manage the three museums exclusively. The three libraries are not only places to borrow and collect books, but also important places to recruit talents and scholars. Many senior talents were reserved and trained in the Song Dynasty. For example, people who were promoted to prime minister in the Song Dynasty had to go to the Three Pavilions for inspection and exercise for a period of time before they could enter the DPRK after accumulating certain experience. The historical position of the three museums is so special that the editors of the three museums are also top-notch. If you want to enter the third library, you must apply for a period of time first, and then take a unified exam before you can enter the school. Once you enter the three pavilions, your salary will rise a hundredfold. Historically, we are familiar with Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, Sima Guang, Bao Zheng and others, all of whom worked in Santing. A good friend of Sima Guang's, Fan Zhen, once did the proofreading work in Guanjinge, and was promoted to the position of Zhimi Pavilion. Later, Sima Guang celebrated by writing a poem praising "Zhong Yitian, Ji Lian". God's religion emphasizes its choice, and the land is biased. " "Shows the talent of cabinet officials! Statue of Sima Guang III. The outstanding contribution of the library system to the economic and cultural development of the Northern Dynasties During the period of Song Taizu and Song Taizu, in the movement of pacifying various countries, great attention was paid to collecting books and documents of local separatist regimes in order to enrich the collection of books. After years of accumulation, the collection of books in the Northern Song Dynasty reached a certain scale. By the time Chongwen Garden was completed, that is, just over ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the national collection of books had increased from more than 10,000 to 80,000. In compiling books, Song Taizong completed 1000 volume of "Taiping Magnolia"; Five hundred volumes of Taiping Guangji; One thousand volumes of Wenyuan Huaying; During the period of Song Zhenzong, 1000 volumes of Yuan Gui of Ci Fu were compiled, and these four volumes were called the four major collections in the Song Dynasty. The library system ensured the development of the book industry and the progress of the cultural industry in Song Dynasty, and the development of the book industry further promoted the progress of education and culture. The scientific and cultural undertakings in Song Dynasty developed rapidly, and many specialized books appeared. The number and types of books in Song Dynasty far exceeded those in other dynasties, and the professional knowledge of literature, history, art, science and technology, Neo-Confucianism and so on was unprecedentedly prosperous. The art of poetry has reached an unprecedented historical height, and many outstanding and far-reaching figures have appeared, such as Zhu, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi and Shen Kuo. The progress of cultural undertakings further promoted the unprecedented prosperity and development of science, technology and economy, and the agricultural tax revenue in Song Dynasty was equivalent to that in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. The birth of the citizen class and the rich and comfortable life also enhanced the consumption consciousness of the people in the Song Dynasty, which greatly affected the development of the tertiary industry. From the bustling capital Bianliang in The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival to Lin 'an, the capital of "Sanqiu Devil and Shili Lotus", all of them reflect the rapid economic development and residents' living and working in peace and contentment in the Song Dynasty. Nothing can resist "from prosperity to decline" After the reorganization of Song Shenzong, the threshold for entering the library became lower. In the Song Ningzong period, the library system was further flooded, and the library system in its heyday finally came to an end. However, the historical value and valuable experience it brought to future generations are also worth thinking about and learning from.
