Fu Ssu-nien (1896-1950), founder of the Institute of History and Philology (IHP) and forerunner of the \u201cNew Historical Studies,\u201d as well as leader of \u201cMay Fourth Movement,\u201d was also an educator and political critic who participated in a wide range of social movements. His life was significant on multiple levels.<\/p>\n

In December 1960, the 10th anniversary of Fu\u2019s passing, his wife, Prof. Yu Da-cai, donated over 12,000 books from Fu\u2019s collection to the IHP. These books came in a wide variety of languages, including Chinese, Japanese, English, German, French, and Russian. Of these, Chinese thread-bound books took up the majority with over ten thousand volumes. In these books, his reading notes such as criticisms, corrections, and comments dotted the pages.<\/p>\n

This special exhibition features two areas of Dr. Fu\u2019s collection. The first is Fu Ssu-nien\u2019s personal items, including short biographies and drafts of correspondence, as well as personal seals, ownership stamps, books given by friends, book notes, writings, and photo albums. These items allow for a glimpse of Fu\u2019s hobbies and temperament. The second highlights Fu\u2019s reading notes, categorized into seven subjects on the basis of book content, styles of writing, and languages, namely \u201cHistory of Han and Jin Dynasties,\u201d \u201cHistory of Ming and Qing Dynasties,\u201d \u201cCollected Works and Book Series,\u201d \u201cCommentaries,\u201d \u201cStele and Rubbings,\u201d \u201cProofs of Collation\u201d and \u201cBooks in Western Languages.\u201d These reading notes allow for not only Fu\u2019s rigorous research but also his intellectual preferences. According to the account of the Draft History of Ming, Yang Pu was sentenced to ten-year imprisonment for being implicated in the prince\u2019s tardiness in welcoming the emperor. While in prison, Yang studied relentlessly, and to this Fu wrote quite touchingly: \u201cHow come have I had the fortune to immerse myself in studies?\u201d<\/p>\n

This special exhibition happens to take place at the 70th anniversary of Fu\u2019s passing and his 125th birthday, as well as the sixth decade of the IHP housing his book collections and establishing the Fu Ssu-nien Library. This exhibition is a tribute to Fu in light of his motto for the IHP: devoting oneself to rigorous research while also having the ability to govern and organize.<\/p>\n
