碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 古典文獻學研究所 === 97 === Abstract Due to the menace with chaos caused by war during the Chinese Resistance Against Japanese Aggression(1937-1945), dozens of bibliophiles in Chiangnan of China struggled for existence by unwillingly releasing rare books they compiled. These rare books were separated randomly to those working in ancient books industry in Shanghai. Meanwhile, it happened to trigger off a competitive atmosphere among them to catch these released old books. So most enthusiasts coming from the America, Janpan and a puppet regime established by Puyi for rare books made full efforts to achieve the purpose. Otherwise, Mr. Zhen-Duo Zheng along with bibliophiles initiated an assembly responsible for Chinese old documents retrieve and reposition (named Chinese Bibliography Alliance) to protect original and valuable rare books from loss. In this article we employ a target time scale designated on the Chinese Resistance Against Japanese Aggression for our study. Whilst based upon some important archives with enumeration to a book entitling Working Reports for Chinese Bibliography Alliance Shanghai and Affiliated Records on movements of retrieve for original and valuable old documents-Mr. Zheng’s Letters Anthology...etc., we further explore the retrieve processes headed by Mr. Zheng. Eventually, under the framework of stories within the study, we thereby understand how Mr. Zheng tried hard to find and to purchase precious rare books at that time and also elucidate communication between Mr. Zheng and bookmen. The thesis is divided into eight chapters. Motivation, goals, scopes, approaches and literatures-reviewing for the study are in Chapter One. Chapter Two encompasses several emphases on development and evolvement of ancient books industry in the duration of the Early Twentieth Century and the Chinese Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Then, that Mr. Zheng retrieves old documents for nation`s requirement is written down into Chapter Three where the story impresses us the processes and situations about fund-raising and price-making for collecting these rare books. Also the story within this chapter lets us know how Mr.Zheng finds out potential channels to fish all kinds of old documents elsewhere along with occurrences when purchasing ancient books from contemporary bookmen. Similar to Mr. Zheng’s movement to retrieve rare books for personal collection is in Chapter Four. Specially, evident communication between Mr. Zheng and bookmen are in Chapter Five. Additionally, Chapter Six describes the reciprocials among bookstores, contemporary bookmen and Mr. Zheng as they highlight the focus on historical documents retrieve. Large amounts of versions of categoried and valuable old documents collected through Mr Zheng’s endeavor are in Chapter Seven. Final Chapter shows a sweeping comprehension throughout Chapter One to Seven to help us clarify the importance of activities of historical documents retrieve which are driven through Mr. Zheng`s attempt during the Chinese Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
