The Yi Mansion Library is regarded as one of the most important and largest collection of books in the Qing dynasty and even throughout the history of private libraries in China. However, it has not been given the attention it deserves. The academic field has long harbored misconceptions on the sources, circulation, and size of the library, as well as the time the ”Catalog of the Yi Mansion Library” was compiled, the courtesy names of the masters of Yi Mansion, etc. (especially regarding the fact that many books came from Xu Qianxue and Ji Zhenyi's old collections). Furthermore, the Anle Tang of the Yi Mansion is sometimes mistaken for Emperor Qianlong's Mingshan Tang or Leshan Tang. With the help the newly-found book ”The Catalog of Books Displayed in Ying Tang” in Yi Mansion and other new materials, this essay sets forth some new ideas on different aspects of the Yi Mansion Library by surveying hundreds of books from the library currently found in more than twenty libraries throughout the world and investigating it in a systematic way. |
