胡樸安《樸學齋集》及《樸學齋叢書》的文獻價值
摘要
Hu Pu-an (胡樸安) (1878-1947), a well-known scholar in the beginning era of the ROC. His A History of Chinese Etymology (《中國文字學史》) and A History of Chinese Scholium (《中國訓詁學史》) emerge as pioneering works, spreading at home and abroad and making a profound influence. Diverse as it might be, his works are over 100 kinds covering all fields of Ching Shih Tzu Chi (經史子集). Among them, due to being out of print or being lost, they have become unknown to the world. In 1983, Hu Tao-yen (胡道彥) his son, showed and printed his Pu Hsieh Chai Chi (《樸學齋集》) and Pu Hsieh Chai Chung Shu (《樸學齋叢書》) -8 books of Volume 1,23 books of Volume 2, and 3 books of Volume 3. Of these books, 39 kinds are legacies of Hu Ting (胡鼎) his father, Hu Yu-Hsun (胡有恂) his elder brother, Hu Huai-shen (胡懷琛) his younger brother, and Hu Yen (胡淵) his daughter. Besides, there are 31 kinds of his works as well as some literary documents found in Ching County of Anhei Province. I am fortunate enough to get these books. Based on these books, I can understand the various aspects of his academic works. In addition, according to the prefaces and prefaces written by his friends, I can know the autobiographical lives, academic insights and social lives of him and his elder brother. This paper aims to reveal the documentary value of these books, expecting that they can persist for a valuable preservation of literary documents.
