13. Cang, Jie and Fan, Qin. 乾坤鑿度 Qian Kun Zao Du (Connecting Earth and Heaven or Yin and Yang). China. Tian Yi Ge. 1522. UCI Libraries’ Special Collections and Archives.
Original texts are believed to be written by Cang Jie (蒼頡), a legendary figure from ancient China, circa 2650 BC, who invented Chinese characters. These texts were printed with woodblocks by Tian Yi Ge (Pavilion of Cosmic Unity), the oldest existing library in China, and was edited by Fan Qin (范欽), a politician and bibliophile of China’s Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Fan Qin was also the founder and owner of the Pavilion of Cosmic Unity.
This early 16th century Chinese printing of Qian Kun Zao Du (Connecting Earth and Heaven or Yin and Yang) is one of the oldest publications held by the UCI Libraries' Special Collections and Archives.
14. Sima, Qian. 史記鈔 Shi Ji Chao (The Records of the Grand Historian of China). Unknown Publisher. 1574. UCI Libraries’ Special Collections and Archives. (Image 1 of 6)
This book was written by Sima Tan and later finished by his son Sima Qian. Both father and son served as Court Astrologers (Tai Shi) in China’s Western Han Dynasty (202 BC-25 AD). They were responsible for making astronomical observations and drafting annual lunisolar calendars. Their court positions granted them easy access to the Imperial Library for early Chinese historical documents.
The copy held by the UCI Libraries, donated by Robert B. Booney, was originally printed using an advanced woodblock printing technique. The main body was printed in black ink while notes, commentaries, underlines and punctuations were in red ink.
Some 300 years after this copy was published, a beautiful fore-edge painting was added by Lu Hongnian (陸鴻年), a renowned Chinese artist. The painting is of Jesus in a traditional Chinese Han outfit with bound hands. This kind of fore-edge painting was a commercialized practice popular in China in the late 19th century and first half of the 20th century transforming an ancient Chinese book into a collectible art piece attractive to Western visitors.
