Chen Naiqian told such an interesting story in the "Memoirs of Shanghai Shulin Dream": "In the last year of Guangxu, Yang Yaosong, the owner of Wenyuan Hall in Hangzhou, bought two large books from Tangqi for sixty yuan. Kai Zhen inspected, but saw that each volume was full of fly-head small print annotations, and there was not a single cotton paper book, which was greatly disappointed, thinking that it was not profitable. He tried to show the Beijing estimate in several volumes every day, and each volume asked for ten yuan, and the Beijing estimate gladly accepted it. Subsequently, the people of Beijing followed them one after another, and asked for a book with small characters on the head of the fly, and Fu Yuanshu also sent someone to Hangzhou, and he got more. Sold out between the two months, with a profit of more than 20,000 gold, The Yang family was able to start a family. Afterwards, someone told Yao Songyue: "The small print books sold by Er are all lao Jiyan's criticism of the school books." If you hold it in Beijing and Shanghai, each book should be more than 100 yuan. Yao Song was greatly remorseful. Because of the pseudo-engraving of the Luo's Tibetan seal, the engraving is slightly older and there are batch schools, all of them are plutonium. For several years, the counterfeiters will get a good price. ”
This story is about the bookseller's eyes, Hangzhou bookseller Yang Yaosong bought two large boxes of books from Tangqi Town, it seems that these two boxes of books are for the guys to handle. Before he did not inspect the goods, and when he bought it back, he found that this batch of books were all batch school books and banknotes, none of which were the ming dynasty white cotton paper books that were popular in the market, and this result made Boss Yang very disappointed. One day he tried to sell a few copies to his colleagues in Beijing, but because he didn't know how to do it, he made a random price, asking for ten yuan per volume. He originally thought that the Books and Chambers of Commerce in Beijing were trying to bargain with him, but he did not expect that the other party would buy it immediately without a counteroffer. Soon after, some booksellers from Beijing came to boss Yang to buy such batch school books, and the big bibliophile Fu Zengxiang specially sent someone to buy such books.

Two months later, the batch of books that Yang Yaosong bought for sixty yuan finally sold for more than 20,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a hundred times the price of today, so Boss Yang made a fortune. But why his batch of school books can sell for such a large price, Yang does not understand, his fortune is indeed ignorant. Until later, someone told him that the books he sold were all approved books by the famous batch of schools, Laug, and if he sold such books in Beijing and Shanghai, the price of each volume could be tenfold.
This remark of the peer made Yang Yaosong feel great remorse, it seems that people's greed is really endless, when he bought two large boxes of Laug approval books only cost sixty yuan, in two months he earned hundreds of times, but Yang was still not satisfied. Now the value of the Lauger approval book obtained from his peers is ten times higher than his random price, which of course makes Boss Yang unable to swallow this breath. But the book has been sold out and regret is useless, so this Yang boss began to engage in evil ways. He looked everywhere for books with batch schools and no money, and then he found someone to forge a few squares of Lauger's book seals, and then he stamped these fake prints on the anonymous batch schools, and then he did it for a few years. Because the reputation of the Lauge school book is too big, the book industry has four famous products of "Gu Batch, Huang Bao, Mao Banknote, and Labor School". But not many people can really recognize Lauger's handwriting, so Yang Yaosong's forged copies of the schoolbooks were sold at a high price, and it seems that he really made a large sum. From this story, we can also know how popular the Lauger schoolbook was sought after by bibliophiles during the Republic of China.

Mr. Pan Jingzheng's "Writing Yanlou Shubao" includes a "Lao Jiyan Hand School Kasawa Series", and Ji Yan is the word of Laoge. Mr. Pan first described the relationship between the editions of the Kasawa series of books in the text, and then he talked about the owner of the book, "Huang Junyongnian, a friend of the book, who brought the first print of the Bijun Caotang to the old collection of Yuemantang." Between the eyebrows, Zhu Mo was rotten, and his schools, such as the New Book of Tang, the Tang Wenzhi, the Wenyuan Yinghua, and the Ten Thousand Tang Dynasties, were similar and similar, and many were created. The school book is not named, the font is as thin as a needle, the book friends vainly grasp the school of Yueman, Huang Jun read it wantonly, the trial is Mr. Lao Jiyan's handwriting, acceptance and appreciation, deep admiration for Huang Jun's clear eyes as unattainable."
It seems that this book is the old collection of the modern philologist Mr. Huang Yongnian, this book is very full of proofreading, Pan Jingzheng found out that the batch of this book used a variety of documents after reading, and its school language is quite original, but unfortunately there is no name of the school critic on this schoolbook. The zigzag is very small, because the book has Li Ciming's bibliographic seal, so the bookseller believes that the criticism of the book is from Li Ciming's hand. When Huang Yongnian saw this book in the old bookstore, he bought it because he recognized it as Lauger's handwriting.

It seems that Mr. Huang picked up a big leak, which made Mr. Pan very emotional, "Luo's Qiao Zi handwriting, Yu saw more than Mr. Pingfu and Ji Yan, all of them are fine and fine, and Pingfu is especially good at work." Yu's hidden labor schools, including Pingfu's "Kou Zhongxuan Collection" and Ji Yan's "Yunshan Diary", are sorry to go to Yimi. Looking at Si Shuai now, I am in a trance of old knowledge, remembering and dispersing, and I am overwhelmed by his wandering ears in the flow of Qi Zang. Mr. Pan said that he had seen a variety of Laoquan Laoquan banknotes, so he was familiar with the handwriting of these two people, and he himself also had Laoquan's "Kou Zhongjie" and Laug's "Yunshan Diary", and Mr. Pan sighed that he had transferred both books to others.
In Zha Pan Jingzheng's "Reading The Secretary of Yan Lou", there is indeed a "diary of Yunshan in the Hand of Labor", in which Mr. Pan wrote that "it is a delicate writing of this book, suspected to be a shadow element, but the banknote is written with heavy text and miscellaneous, and the eyebrows are mostly stained by the writing of the official's body. There is a school language between the eyebrows, and there are two banknotes of yuan ben and Li Fanxie and Song Zhishan, and the school language bets on the word 'drinking incense', and who drinks incense should be examined. This book is in the unintended city of guan chaotic book piles, the old sticky rabbit garden booklet, from the buyer begging, looking for the worker to re-install into a butterfly style. It was brought to Shanghai, re-read for the exhibition, and after burning, it was cherished. It seems that Pan Jingzheng also picked up a big leak when he got this labor rights banknote, because he was rummaging through the pile of books, and then he asked someone to change it into a butterfly suit, which must look very beautiful, but I don't know how much his modified book ended up selling. But it must have been sold before the 1950s, as he wrote a poem to Huang Yongnian's Lauger-approved kasawa series in November 1955.
Although Pan Jingzheng sold the Lauge Laoquan banknotes he had hidden, huang Yongnian got this batch of school books that he liked quite a bit, so he wanted to find a "Kasazawa Series" and record Lauge's comments, but the book engraved by Biyun Caotang was particularly beautiful, which made Pan Jingzheng reluctant to write on it. So he entrusted the Suzhou bookseller "Jiang Jun" to help find a replica of the Da die shan fang, and the Jiang Jun mentioned here may refer to Mr. Jiang Chengbo, the owner of the Suzhou Literary Mountain House, or mr. Jiang's father. In short, Jiang Jun found this book for Mr. Pan, so Pan Jingzheng recorded Lauge's criticism in two nights to his copy. Later, Pan wrote a passage on this engraving: "Zhi Ji Yan is based on the Tang Wen zhi and Wen Yuan Yinghua, and the books of Wu Junzhi, Gu Su Zhi, and Wu Du Wen Zhi are supplemented by the books of Wu Junzhi, Gu Su Zhi, and Wu Du Wen Zhi, and the fine language of the school language, although the difference between the dot paintings, is also noted, and the essence of the Zuzheng Labor School is unattainable." Here Mr. Pan is also praising how well the book approved by Lauger is, so that the book of the Labor Rights Raugar Brothers can be sold for a very large price.
Twelve volumes of "Reading Miscellaneous Knowledge", The Fourth Year of Qing Guangxu Wu Xing Ding Clan Carved Moon River Jingshe Cong Banknote, Ding Baoshu Preface
In fact, the labor school refers to the banknotes and batch school books of the Laoquan Laoge brothers, because the two brothers share the hall name of Dan Lead Essence House, so the brothers are regarded as "two labors". The father of the two of them is Lao Jingyuan, in fact, Lao Jingyuan has three sons, Laoquan is the second laoge is the third oldest, and the eldest is called Laojie. But somehow the boss is very unknown, and the bibliophile Wu Changshou wrote a "Biography of the Three Kings of the Tangqi Laoshi" which only mentions the name of the labor inspection, but does not mention a word about his deeds. As for the second and third elder Wu Changshou said in this article, "Ji Yan of Yan Qing is all fine at the study of Yan Zhi, and Ji Yan is less educated by Tongyi Zhu Jinshi to be promoted, and for a time the famous Xian Xian is in agreement." Wang Dalong also said in the "Broken Gold of the Law Brothers" that Wang Dalong also said in the "Broken Gold of the Law Brothers":
The Law brothers worked diligently, loved books, and copied the school by hand, although they were chaotic. He also got the comrades' friends Gao Xuezhi and Ding Baoshu to communicate with each other, and the joy of words was unattainable.
Wang Dalong mentioned that the Lao brothers borrowed books from Gao Xuezhi and Ding Baoshu for schooling, and Ding Baoshu also praised Lauger in the preface to "Reading Miscellaneous Knowledge", saying, "To give the family to Tangqi Hundred Miles, since the postal letters are repeated, counting in January." Ji Yan was fond of receiving books, and with the same habit of giving, he borrowed from each other, and the rate was taken for granted. "It seems that Ding Baoshu's family is a hundred miles away from Laoge's family, so they are all going back and forth by mail, and they will communicate several times a month, and ding Baoshu is also very appreciative of Laoge's learning" Ji Yan is familiar with the history of various histories, and is especially familiar with Tang Dynasty allusions, after Qian Shaozhan, only one person. Ding said that Lauge was very familiar with historiography, and he believed that Lauge's level in this regard was second only to Qian Daxin.
The above is the evaluation of friends and descendants, and the boss of the Lao family, laojian, also praised the third brother Laoge's hard work, "Reading the books collected by the ancestors, so his learning is beneficial." Especially diligent in school books, taste the small seal: 'Seek truth from facts, hear more doubts'. All the books that are studied shall be printed on the end of the scroll, and the cover shall be the purpose of the reading. (Lao Guan wrote "The Training Strategy of the Dead Brother Ji YanSi")
Three volumes of the "Notes on Ancient and Modern Times" in the old collection of Dan Lead Jingshe, and the engraving of Zhixiu hall in Ming Jiajingjian
How did the Law brothers have a good collection of books and school books? In fact, this hobby of the two brothers is from their father Lao Jingyuan, and Lao Jingyuan is a disciple of the famous scribe Zang Yong in Changzhou, for the goodness of his collection of books, Gu Zhixing said in the "History of Zhejiang Books": "Lao Jingyuan likes to read books, and likes to gather books, and whenever he encounters a good book, he collects it, wanders it freely, and has the taste of the book collection." It laid a solid foundation for the collection of books in the Labor Rights and Later Dan Lead Elite House. ”
Compared with the good book collection of Laoquan, the historical information is not as much as that of his brother Laoge, but Laoquan has a concubine named Chen Yanlan, who is very good at binding, and it seems that this concubine is skillful. Labor rights say in the sayings of the "Piece of Jade Words":
Ding Wei (Xianfeng 7th year) wrote on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and tomorrow will be spring. Chen Ji returned to YuZazuki. The ji people's original name was dyed orchid, and the double sound of the compound character was given, and the spring wind was taken from the spring wind. It seems that the word Dyelan was the name of this concubine before she came to the Lao family, and from the perspective of this rhyme, the two words of Dyelan should belong to "overlapping rhymes" instead of "double voices", but I don't know why Laoquan renamed this concubine "Double Voice". Lao Quan also said in the "Gumei Yin Manuscript" that "Mr. Yi De Shu copied the "Jiayi Manuscript" by hand, and Qian double-voiced reloaded, patching and ironing, which is particularly satisfactory."
Laoquan got a copy of Bao Tingbo's banknote, which may be of bad quality, so he asked Chen Yanlan to rebind it, and the book that was loaded made Laoquan greatly satisfied. Of course, it is admirable for bibliophiles to be able to obtain such concubines, so Wang Dalong, when he made a "correction" to the "Chronicle of The Book", said: "There are two voices as the palm secretary, and its elegant charm is no less than that of Meigu, which has a rainbow screen, and has an incense repair for a long time, and it is advisable to attach it." ”
