The concept establishes a name "Sweeping Yaoshan Fang" like publishing an empire ... Novels that cross the category cannot be taken seriously, but now it is already the emperor that the emperor will inevitably be "very busy" in the time and space. It ’s not to mention an ancient brand. Maybe this is history.

The real sweeping mountain house not only represents the most influential ancient book publishing institutions and the largest medical publishing name in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, but also the "Qing Novel" witness, but also the trend of the traditional publishing industry after the west school. By.

There is a LOGO after the book published by Sweep Yaoshan Fang. That looks like a relay stick, a relay stick connecting ancient and modern, it connects the profound changes in history and connects the era of great significance ...

Xijia Garden, the Sweeping Mountain Room of that year went out from this out

【one】

The founder of Sweeping Mountain Room is the famous Xi Shi in Dongting Merchants with "Drilling the Heavenly Dongting Earth".

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Huang Chao Uprising, the former empire of Huacai was at stake, and the disheartened General Wuwei Mattatosa was moved from the north of the sore to the northern sore to the mountains of Dongting Ting Mountain in Shanshui Jun. The family around you: Don't be an official, don't go out of the mountain.

This ancestral training has been adhered to by the Xi family. It was not until the middle of the Ming Dynasty that the children of the Xi family began to go out of the mountain to make earth weaving and dye trade.

The career of the Xi family either did not do it, and made a big conclusion as soon as I did it.

With the efforts of Xi Duanfan (No. left Yuan) and Xi Duan Pan (No. Youyuan), they became one of the two brothers of Feng Menglong.

Dongting Shang Gang is the founder of the "Su Merchants" in the future. It is mainly concentrated in the two mountains of the East and West. The Dongshan merchants follow the Grand Canal to Qilu to Beijing Division. Xishan merchants mainly follow the Yangtze River to Changsha and Hankou.

It is said that at that time, the Xi family "cloth clothes fulfilled the world, and the famous Jingjing Shi, Qilu, Jianghuai" was the representative of Suzhou's "clothing by the world".

With money, Jiangnan's unique cultural complex finally has the confidence of Shenfa.

At that time, Mao Jin, the founder of Jiangnan's famous book collection and the "Jigu Pavilion" of the engraving, died. Mao Jin's descendants did not pay much attention to this rare family business. I have received a lot of carved version of the ancient Pavilion.

Suzhou people have always had a tradition of book engraving. The Xi family is naturally a fan. Even a named Xi Qiyu also resigned the head of the Ministry of Industry Yu Heng, who was in Beijing, and planted orchids at home. Essence

When the Xi family received the third south tour of Kangxi, the usual mountain and sea flavor did not enter the eyes of the emperor, but the four sets of "Tang Shi Baijia" and the orchids of the hand planted by Xi Qi were very impressed by Kangxi. , I asked Xi Qiyu to ask carefully, have they been an official? Why is it not proper? Xi Qiyu's answer is definitely very good at his gift -serving his parents.

Such a person who chooses to plant orchids on the mountains in order to honor his parents, and work with the poet Wu Meicun's sister to read and chant poetry, making Emperor Kangxi a great emotion. As a result, the "Qinchuan Book House" of Xi Qi was famous.

When he arrived at his Xuansun Shichen, it was estimated that he was also famous for his ancestral name. He became the last year of Qianlong, and participated in the famous "Siku Quanshu" of the school at the time. Xi Shichen likes the ancient book like Zu Shang. He also dug the pictures on the engraved version of the "Seventeen History" of Mao's Jigu Pavilion, and carved it into "Dongting Xi's" seal.

According to the present statement, such behavior is suspected of infringing the right to knowledge, but this move has really promoted the printing of the book. After that, he officially set up a "Sweeping Mountain Fang Shop" in the gate. It is said that the name of this character has two meanings. One is that he has done the collation of "Siku Quanshu". There is also a famous masterpiece of the book in Suzhou, so he claims to be "sweeping leaves", which is a bit challenging and the taste of arranging.

In the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, due to the war, Sweeping Yaoshan house relocated the operation center to Shanghai to develop, and began to adopt new technologies such as stone seal and lead printing at that time to expand the scale of business. Become the largest bookstore in Shanghai at that time. Bookstores have been operating until 1955. The brand name of printed ancient books in students and literati disappeared in people's vision.

Sweeping Yaoshan Fang was born in Suzhou, and naturally is closely related to the historical customs of Suzhou people who like to collect books and engraved books, but "Diamond Tian Dongting" conveys two information. Dongting is easy to understand, Linhu, Linjiang River, and convenient transportation; Intersection This word is very particular. The "emblem everywhere" means that the popularity of the emperor is very popular, and the "Diandian Dongting Ting" means that the Dongting business gang has always been closely interacting with senior people. This can be glimpsed from the Kangxi Laizhou Garden.

Kangxi and Qianlong came to Suzhou to basically live in weaving and build a government, and calculate a state -owned institution, but the Xijia Garden was the only private house where Kangxi lived in Suzhou. I am afraid it is not why it is so simple.

The Xi Jia was published, and it was also quite friendly to many celebrities. In addition to Wu Mei Village with in -laws, big literati such as Qian Qianyi, Wang Yan, and Xu Qianxue were also the guests of Xi Jia. In the late Qing Dynasty, he had an in -law relationship with Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, Sheng Xuanhuai and other officials; during the Republic of China, he had an in -law relationship with Chen Lifu, Chen Guofu, and Song Ziwen. Ancient books published by Sweep Yaoshan Fang

At the beginning of the establishment of Sweeping Yaoshan Fang, many books printed were imperial examinations for examination materials. After that, the new learning became the wind. In addition to adapting to the times, the "relationship" was probably a very important one.

Even to this day, under the tide of electronic impact, physical books have always been broad in the market. It was indeed a place where the market could monopolize this market that year.

Of course, by the relationship, it is impossible for the Yaishan Fang to stand for hundreds of years. The Xi Jia always runs a book bureau with a business mind.

For example, novels have always belonged to citizen's reading. Many self -holding identities have been disdainful to put themselves with high positioning. The Xi family published a large number of novels from the beginning, which not only made profits, but also promoted significant promotion.

In addition, in addition to the publishing industry, Xi Jia also participated in the operation of magazines and newspapers, and was once the well -known "Declaration" owner.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the British Meicha founded the "Report" in Shanghai. Xi Yuqi served as a manager. After that, the United States returned to the UK. Xi Yuqi recommended Xi Yufu to buy the "Declaration". Later, during the news war, the "Newspaper" run by the American Fulicsen at the time became the largest newspaper in Shanghai. Later, Xi Yufu also participated in or hosted the Dan Shizhai Seal, Book Integration, and Chinese Book Company. He was a well -known figure in Shanghai News and publishing industry in modern times.

Although these are not all the stories of sweeping the mountain house, the concept of Xi Shi's education is inseparable from the Yaishan Room. As the earliest publication, comprador and finance family in China, the children of Xi Shi often learned things, and keeping pace with the times is the biggest trick of success in this family.

Because of the scanning mountain house, in addition to being known as the Great Business Gang and the modern financial family, the Xi family also has a sounded cultural name. I am afraid this is Si Shi, leaving the biggest spiritual wealth of the new generation of Soviet merchants today.
