It rained for days, and there was only an unpaid order in the store on the weekend, and the cat was happy to read and sort books at home all day. Unexpectedly, I turned out a few signed gift books, and simply dried in the dynamics.
Wang Jisi (1906-1996), named Yulunxuan, was born in Wenzhou, the birthplace of Southern Opera, and has loved opera since he was a child, and is a famous opera historian and literary historian in China. This "Treatise on the Jade Wheel Xuanqu" was signed by Mr. Wang in 1980 to Li Junsheng, editor of Zhejiang People's Publishing House. For a while, there were many kinds of signed gift books flowing out of the Li family in the book market. I once missed a book that Fei Xiaotong signed for him in person— just because I already had that book, I didn't bother to turn it over! I hope that other book friends can learn my lessons and leave less regrets about their intestines.
Xu Zhucheng (1907-1991), a native of Yixing, Jiangsu Province, was a well-known newspaperman who participated in the preparation of the Shanghai edition of Ta Kung Pao and the founding of Wen Wei Po. In June 1949, Wen Wei Po was revived, and Xu Zhucheng served as president and editor-in-chief. In 1957, he was branded as a rightist. After the end of the Cultural Revolution, Xu Zhucheng called himself a "reporter of old news" and wrote a large number of articles on "Baitou Palace Female Saying Tianbao", and this "Continuation of Old News and Miscellaneous Memories" is a collection of some of these articles. When he gave the bookmark to a man named Tannak, he simply signed it as an "author gift," thanks to a stamp.
Ji Fan (1918~2013), a famous contemporary writer and representative poet of the July Sect, was the vice chairman of the Zhejiang Writers Association, participated in the grass-roots work of Jiangnan magazine, and trained a large number of young authors for the Zhejiang literary circle. I first knew him because he was a "Hu Feng". Love Songs Without Endless Notes is a collection of his poems from 1986. In addition to this gift book, I also bought his collection of poems, "Bush Rings", as well as the poetry volumes and memoirs in the "Ji Wei Anthology".
This copy of The Magic Chair was signed by the translator. The book is actually the sixth in C.S. Lewis' famous series of children's travel adventure novels, The Chronicles of Narnia. The translator Zhu Jiongqiang has successively served as lecturer, associate professor and professor of the Department of Foreign Languages of the University of Science and Technology of China, Zhejiang Normal University, Hangzhou University, and Zhejiang University, and is the president of the Zhejiang Foreign Literature Research Association. I also found a copy of his autographed book, Hardy– a literary giant across the centuries. It is worth mentioning that the binding and illustration of this "Magic Chair" are quite careful, and I think it is far better than the computer cartoon design of some children's books today.
This Selected Sonnets of Milton was also signed by the translator. The translator, Bhu Sun, is a well-known translator and professor at Wuhan University. When he was studying in the Department of Spanish at Peking University, he studied under the famous British literary critic and poet William Empson. Blonde is an expert translator of Milton, and I have also bought his translations of Milton's Selected Lyric Poems, Paradise Lost, and Paradise Reborn.
Wu Susen, the author of "Selected Notes on Dunhuang Song Lyrics", is a student of Professor Bantang of Dunhuang Song and Lyrics, a professor of Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics, and a director of the Language and Literature Committee of the Turpan Society of Dunhuang, China. This book was signed by him to Professor Wu Xionghe of Hangzhou University (1934-2012). Wu Xionghe is an academic descendant of Xia Chengtao, a "generation of words", who has successively served as the head of the department of Chinese and the dean of the School of Humanities of Hangzhou University. I also bought a copy of "New Classification of Two Song Dynasty Wonderful Words", which was also signed by the editor to Wu Xionghe. It seems that after Professor Wu's death, part of his collection of books flowed to the book market.
Once, I bought a little too many books from a book stall owner, and the boss threw me a copy of Han Meilin's "Gossip and Gossip". When I went home, I saw that it was a signature book! Earlier, Han Meilin, who had emigrated overseas, was an 82-year-old man who almost chased Qi Baishi's record, and attracted some "gossip" at home, accusing him of being irresponsible, because his son was likely to face the misfortune of losing his father at a young age. This is really a bit salty to eat radish light worry ah! The children's book "Little Deer Banbei", which I published in 1980, was bound and illustrated by Han Meilin, and the illustrations on the cover and inner pages were simply handsome. Once again, I feel that the fine tradition of domestic book illustration has not been well inherited!
"Ten thousand mountains do not allow a stream to run" is a sentence in the Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli's ancient poem "Guiyuanpu", the full text is as follows: Wanshan does not allow a stream to run, blocking the sound of the creek day and night. At the foot of the qiantou mountain, the Tangtang Creek flows out of the former village. Mr. Yin Haiguang's experience after going to Taiwan is very much in line with this poem, so the author Wang Zhongjiang used it as the title of the book when he wrote Yin Haiguang's commentary. Interestingly, the author of the book is a mainlander, written by Yin Haiguang, who went to Taiwan from the mainland, published by Taiwan Buffalo Publishing House, signed and gifted to Professor Jin Guantao and Professor Liu Qingfeng and his wife who went to Hong Kong from the mainland, and then flowed back to the mainland and was found by me.
This "Three Hundred Continuations of Tang Poems" was signed by wu Zhanlei, an annotator, and given to a couple. Wu Zhanlei (scientific name Wu Zhanglei, 1939--2005) was a closed disciple of the lexicography master Mr. Xia Chengtao, specializing in ancient poetry, engaged in editing for nearly 40 years, and was an editor of Zhejiang Ancient Books Publishing House and an editorial board member of the Chinese Dictionary. In 1997, Huanghuang's 8 large volumes of "Xia Chengtao Collection" were published in Zhejiang Ancient Books Publishing House, and Wu Zhanlei should be the first to do it!
"Lefu Chuansheng Translation Notes" is one of the series of translation notes on classical opera treatises, and I am a signed copy of this one for the translator. The translator Wu Tongbin (1925-2005) was the second son of the calligraphy master Wu Yuru, the younger brother of Wu Xiaoru, a famous professor at Peking University, and a scholar of opera. The name of the signee is written a little sloppy, I don't recognize it, please help me recognize it. Check the hole network, found that the price of this thin small book is still a little high, kong net Tianjin a store has a signed gift book for sale, the price of 100; the non-signed gift price is also about 70.
