Abstract

The Ming Dynasty was a climax of the development of private collection in Chinese history. Both the number of collectors and the number, quality and variety of collections surpassed the previous generation. The prosperity of private book collection has greatly promoted the development of private bibliography. The private bibliographies are a summary of the book collection practice and experience of many years. Many of these excellent methods are still useful for our current book consolidation activities.
