明代江西地方官府藏書事業研究－－以各級儒學為考察中心

The Book Collecting Activities of the Local Governments in the Jiangxi District during the Ming Dynasty: Focusing on the Collections of Ruxues, the Government-founded Schools

明代是中國古代藏書事業史上的繁榮期，其藏書事業的發展與成就，超過了歷史上以往的任何時期。就地方官府的藏書事業而言，由於明初諸帝對國家教育與藏書事業的高度重視，促使各地官府對本地公家藏書事業的經營也都非常積極。本研究聚焦於藏書史研究者向來甚少著眼，卻為明代進士產量高居全國第三位的江西行省。由於明代地方官府的藏書事業，主要建立在地方儒學藏書的建設之上，因此，本文便以探索它們的歷史現象及其對提昇區域學術與文化發展為主題，除了期盼彌補目前明代藏書史研究之不足外，更希望能以明代江西地方官府藏書事業對區域讀書風氣的推動經驗，作為今日探討地方政府推廣書香社會和地方圖書館事業的一項參考基礎。

In the Chinese history, Ming dynasty is an era when book collection activities flourished. The intensity and achievement of book collecting by governments far exceeded the previous eras and arrived at the peak. The emperors' emphasis on education and the widespread of ruxues, governmentfounded schools, had contributed to the development of official book collections all over the country. At that time, the Jiangxi province was the third largest source of government officials and bureaucrats. The cultural intensity in Jiangxi was of great historical significance. However, the book collecting activities in that region and their relations to the flourishing intellectual traditions and achievements were hardly studied in existing literatures. Hence, this paper carefully examined the cultural phenomenon in that locality based on historical materials in order to bridge the gap. The regional and local book collection history may also shed lights on today's society in terms of promoting libraries and book reading.
