Textual Research on the Catalogue of the Yuan Dynasty
The research on bibliography in the Yuan Dynasty is relatively less in the past century,and the analysis for bibliographic literature of the Yuan Dynasty can change this situation to some extent.Through counting the number of Yuan Dynasty catalogs,it was found that there were 67 types of the Yuan Dynasty catalogs,which can be divided into three categories:book collection catalogs,historical records catalogs and specialized catalogs.Among them,the collection catalog can be divided into national collection catalog,academy collection catalog,and private collection catalog.Specialized catalogs can be divided into sub-categories such as guide catalog,religious catalog and reference catalog.Due to the influence of academic trends and politics,there are a large number of religious and reference catalogs.The ideology for guiding the Yuan scholars to catalog is summarizing numerous books and being proficient in learning,which had a value orientation of respecting sages,pursuing great principles and using cataloging for practical purposes.
