Guy is associate professor of history at the University of Washington.
The compilation of the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries ("Ssu-k'u ch'uan-shu") was one of the most ambitious intellectual projects of the Ch'ing dynasty. Initiated by imperial command in 1772, the project sought to evaluate, edit, and reproduce the finest Chinese writings in the four traditional categories: Confucian classics, histories, philosophy, and "belles lettres." The final products, created over a twenty-two year period, were an annotated catalog of some ten thousand titles and seven new manuscript libraries of nearly thirty-six hundred titles. The project had its darker side as well, for together with the evaluation of books there developed a campaign of censorship and proscription. Guy's study gives a balanced account of the project and its significance. Dozens of celebrated Chinese scholars willingly participated in the project, though it was sponsored by the Manchu emperor, and Guy explains their reasons for doing so. He also reconsiders the issue of censorship, arguing that it grew as much from tensions and jealousies within the intellectual elite as from imperial command. Guy's work will be useful to all those interested in the relationship between intellectuals and the state in late imperial China.

This is a very promising topic, but a mediocre, if not disappointing study. Tracing the history of encyclopedia-editing under imperial order, Chapter 2 introduces Qianlong’s order within the court culture of the time. Chapter 3 discusses scholar’s resp...
評分最近同時在看《皇帝的四庫》與黑格爾的《曆史哲學》,突然有瞭一點聯想。18世紀,中國發生瞭漢宋學之爭,兩派都不否定真理,認為古代聖人是思想和智慧的終極來源。但是宋學一派認為“人性定義瞭道,反過來又決定瞭教化的特徵”,主張通過經驗,義理來理解真理。漢學則認為真理...
評分一句話評價:細節功夫不行,人文關懷負分,隻有(幾十年以前的)標新立異的觀點。 先挑能誇的點,本書相對來說最有價值的部分是四、五兩章。 第四章強調瞭皇帝、官僚、學者的立場區彆:沽名釣譽的皇帝有些急於求成,務實的劉統勛試圖限製工程的規模,硃筠和他的幕友們則希望藉...

評分總體還可以,蓋堅博的一些判斷在當時的史料情況下還是有見地的。如清代考據學不是因文字獄興起,明末就有跡象;比如清代禁書在1774年後纔體係化。都比鬍適、蕭一山大而化之的說法精準。作者稱用瞭颱灣的檔案,書中實在沒怎麼看齣來。
