摘要:

我国古旧书业在20 世纪80 年代中后期已现凋敝之势。虽经业内外人士呼吁建言,古旧书业积极自救,但“振兴古旧书业”之梦终究破灭。本文分析中国当代古旧书业蕴含的“旧”与“新”、“私”与“公”及“亏”与“盈”3 大主要矛盾,认为其剥夺了古旧书业的经营主体与经营模式,破坏了书源挖掘与经营的积极性、书业市场应对的灵活性、业内人才培养的自觉性,存在古书货源日渐枯竭、盈利无法支撑运转、扶持政策缺乏针对性等问题,认为这是当年时政和体制对古旧书业“一刀切”的结果,当引以为历史之镜鉴。

Abstract:

After about two thousand years of rough development, antiquarian book trade in China had alreadybeen in decline by the mid to late 1980s. Although industry insiders and outsiders have called for suggestionsand the antique book industry has taken proactive measures to help oneself, the dream of revitalizing theantique book industry has ultimately been shattered. This article analyzes three main contradictions containedin Chinese antiquarian book trade: namely old and new, private and public, loss and profit. These contradictionsdeprive the business entity and business model of antiquarian book trade, undermine the enthusiasm for booksource mining and management, the flexibility of the book market response, and the consciousness of talentcultivation in the industry. There are problems such as the gradual depletion of antique and old book sources,the inability to sustain profits, and the lack of targeted support policies. Therefore, it is believed that this is theresult of the one-size-fits-all policy of the current government and political system towards the antique bookindustry, which should be taken as a historical mirror
