ref. 948796; 94; 101; 84 folding leaves. Four vols. Large 8vo orig. wrappers orig. stitching. Guangzhou: Guangya shuju 廣雅書局 1895. Early — possibly the first — printed edition of a work on the state rites of the Jurchen Jin dynasty probably written in the late 12th century. The Jurchens ruled northern China under the name of Jin from 1115 to 1234. They were a people from present-day northeast China who spoke a Tungusic language related to Manchu. The Jurchen had their own institutions but also adopted many aspects of Chinese rulership. This book outlines ceremonies and events at the Jurchen Jin court. The book is of unknown authorship and date. Qing scholar Weng Fanggang ç¿æ–¹ç¶± 1733-1818 wrote that “the book contains mentions of events dated Dading 7 1167 11 1171 19 1179 and 27 1187…the book was thus probably completed toward the end of the Dading reign period i.e. before 1190” Weng Weng Fanggang zuan Siku tiyao gao 409. One theory holds that the book is in fact what Minister of the Board of Rites Zhang Wei å¼µæš presented to the Jin throne in 1195 under the title Da Jin liyi 大金禮儀 Rites of the Great Jin a title that is no longer extant Lao Zhonghua yeshi cidian 376. Our edition WorldCat 123342086 is preceded by the bibliographical summary written for its inclusion in Complete Books of the Four Repositories Siku quanshu 四庫全書 in the early 1780s. The publisher of our edition Guangya shuju was founded in Guangzhou in 1887 by Zhang Zhidong 張之洞 1837-1909 a prominent late-Qing conservative official and promoter of education largely through fundraising among fellow officials and local gentry. It had a sister institution in Guangya xueyuan 廣雅學院 the “Academy for Expanding What Is Good and Proper.” The vast majority of the titles put out by the publisher were historiographical works like our book. The publisher was extremely exacting and precise in its collation of books. Every title was without exception collated three times and at the end of every juan the names of the three collators were listed in order to demonstrate this careful and strict approach. Furthermore at the end of some books the editors added a colophon explaining the book’s provenance extant editions and their circulation the collation process and any lacunae with great benefit for the reader. Li Qingdai Guangdong buxue yanjiu 119. Our book has one of these colophons written by Liao Tingxiang 1842-97 a professor at the academy and a classical scholar who was one of the collators. Liao explains that the editors had worked from manuscript versions. A record of textual variants has been added by Miao Quansun 繆èƒå« 1844-1919 who had been a member of Zhang Zhidong’s secretarial staff and worked at the publishing house. Our copy has a seal saying that the book was “donated by Guangdong Commissioner of Education Shen Zengtong æ²ˆæ›¾æ¡ 1850-1921.” Shen was a late Qing official who served both at court and in the staff of Li Hongzhang æŽé¸¿ç« 1853-1901 one of the leading statesmen of the era.
