碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 中國文學系 === 104 === Fu Zeng-Xiang (1872-1949), a bibliographer born in Jiang An Si Chuan, is famous for his achievement in bibliography, edition and textual criticism. Fu searched and rushed for books all his life with great devotion and thus he had a fabulous book collection. The collection is amazing both in quality and quantity amounted more than 200 thousand volumes. Within his abundant possession, there are engraving editions produced in Song, Jin, and Yuan Dynasty, refined engraving, refined proofreading, archaic transcripts and precious books from Ming and Qing Dynasty. Following four great bibliographers in late Qing Dynasty, Fu scaffolded criteria in bibliography for modern researchers. Fu is also a copious writer. His Inscription on Books in Recluse Garden; A Review of Books in Recluse Garden and Bibliography of Amending Shao Ting Legacies in Recluse Garden are essence of his accomplishments in Ancient Bibliography.
