Other Title

• Ding bu quan shu bei kao

Summary

• Even though the title indicates that this work is a supplement to Quan shu bei kao (Notes to the complete library of the four treasures), the existence of such a work cannot be confirmed. This edition contains very finely executed illustrations, which are of sociological and historical as well as artistic importance. Each volume has an inscription certifying that the volume was produced by Zheng Shangxuan at the printing shop, Ren Rui Tang (Hall of auspicious mankind). The contents of the work were mostly taken from Bu qiu ren (Not seeking help from others), an encyclopedia written by Yu Wentai in 1607 in 35 juan. This edition has 34 juan, with some abbreviations. Most works included in Bu qiu ren originate from the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties; later Ming authors added supplements. Bu qiu ren can be considered as a folk-level variation of the Yongle Encyclopedia (1403-08). World Digital Library.

• -  500 每卷題:「新刻人瑞堂訂補全書備考卷之幾，富沙鄭尚玄幼白氏訂梓。」人瑞堂當是尚玄刻書處，書名上冠以「訂補」二字，則似尚玄以前，已有全書備考之名，其本今未見。然繹其內容，實全採自余文台不求人。余書三十五卷，此併為三十四卷，每卷又多所節略。茲持兩本對驗，此書卷五農桑門載農桑輯要，較不求人又有删削，然補圖頗精。不求人原有識語云:「大元詔立大司農司，不治他事，而專以勸課農桑為務。又慮夫田里之人，未知播殖之宜，上燥之節，於是頒行一書，名曰農桑輯要。使天下之民，讀其書而得其術，則用力寡而獲利倍，其斯民衣食之原也。今廣其要中之至要者，以列於左。」此蓋為元代民間通行之別本，主於實用，故與永樂大典所載不同。又卷三十一養生門引食鑑本草，乃嘉靖間甯原所輯，李時珍尚稱之，今已不傳。卷三十二載關大王馬靈〓，稱「王」而不稱「帝」，亦宋元間舊籍之一，以通行民間，史志失載。凡此皆可補載籍之闕。不求人多採元末明初著述，當是元代已有其書，明人遞加增補。今就其所載佚籍觀之，直可視為一部民間永樂大典也。是書卷十四名家詩較增於不求人。如解縉學士詩有王見二宮女打鞦韆命縉作，今仍流傳於民間，詩云:二八嬌娥美少年，綠楊影裡戲鞦韆，兩雙玉腕挽復挽四隻金蓮顛倒顛。紅粉面朝紅粉面，玉酥肩並玉酥肩。遊春才子搖鞭指，一對飛仙下九天。北直各省或稍稍改換詞句，轉為乾隆下江南見村女碾黃梁詩矣。今知此詩已見明代載籍。明代打油詩，始多託於解縉，後乃歸之徐文長。又無名氏勉學詩云:「三更燈火五更鷄，正是男兒立志時;一朝首登龍虎榜，十年身到鳳凰池」，今仍普行民間，不知已有幾千萬萬學童，讀之而發憤也。蓋是書所載，於近八百年來，民生日用，文學哲學，禮俗游藝，以及醫卜星相等事，凡所以維繫世道人心者，莫不有之。亦社會學史料也。自序崇禎十四年 (1641).
