南海桂文燦及其《經學博采錄》

Research into Gui Wencan of Nanhai and His Work Jingxue Bocailu

桂文燦之《經學博采錄》一書記錄道咸同光四朝經學學者，不惟保存文獻，且發幽潛之光，垂永久之鑒，要為一代經學人物之大全。然此書雖經兩度付梓而沉潛依舊，研究乏人。茲謹略述桂氏生平，并考《經學博采錄》之內容價值及版本源流、異同優劣諸端，以為研習清代晚期經學史者之助。

Jingxue bocailu 經學博采錄 written by Gui Wencan 桂文燦 records the activities and works of Confucian scholars during four reigns of the Qing dynasty, from Emperor Daoguang 道光 to Emperor Guangxu 光緒. It not only successfully preserved literature for posterity, but also kept alive the names of many obscure scholars so that future generations may appreciate their work. However, this book, twice printed and twice fallen into obscurity, remains poorly studied. This paper offers a brief sketch of the author's life and career, discusses the content and value of the work, and compares the different versions in order to assist scholars studying the history of late Qing Confucian scholarship.
