我国古籍保存下来的很多,但在宋代雕板流通以前,散佚的情况也很严重。历代有些学者根据古代类书、选本及经注、史注中所引,辑出已佚的古书片断,尽可能拼凑起来,希望回复原书的本来面目。这种辑佚工作逐渐发展,成为清代学者的一种专门之业。 Ancient Chinese preserved a lot, but before the carving flow in the Song Dynasty, the case of scattered is also very serious. Some scholars in ancient times according to the ancient class books, anthologies and by the note, the history notes cited, edit out the lost pieces of ancient books, as much as possible pieced together, hoping to reply to the true features of the original book. The work of this collection of records gradually developed into a specialized industry of scholars in the Qing Dynasty.
