桂文灿与他的《经学博采录》

桂文灿是广东近代少有的著作丰富的经学大家，《经学博采录》是他终其一生都在修补的著作。经历了100多年的沉淀，就是那些当年鲜为人知的经学家和许多不知所踪的著作，成为了这本意在与江藩的《汉学师承记》、方东树的《汉学商兑》分庭抗礼的《经学博采录》最弥足珍贵的地方。与中国南北学者均有密切交往的桂文灿，与其中一些传主有相同的地缘、学缘，于是书中的某些记载颇有神来之笔和属于有思想的史料，使《经学博采录》具有较大的阅读价值。

Gui Wen-can and the Book of Recording the Excellent

Gui Wen-can is one of the scarce scribes in Guangdong modern time who created a lot of works. The Book of Recording the Excellent is the works that he had devoted his life time to its revising. Different from the works of Jian Fan and Fang Dong-shu, The Book of Recording the Excellent had experienced more than one hundred years of accumulation, talking about the unknown scribes in that time and many missing works, which is the reason why the book became most precious. Because of Gui＇s frequent contact with scholars in China, north or south, and his similarities with some scholars in location and academics, some wonderful recordings and historical materials in the book are found which make a book worth reading.
