Liang-ch'i), and printed in 34 chüan in 1884. A collection of Li Shu-ch'ang's prose works was published in 1893 in 6 chüan under the title 拙尊園叢稿 Cho-tsun yüan ts'ung-kao, and a de luxe edition of the same appeared a few years later. The title of this work was taken from the name of Li's library which contained some 20,000 chüan. Like his predecessor, Ho Ju-chang, Li was held in high esteem in Tokio by the old-style sinologists, writers and calligraphers of Japan. He and his secretary, Yang Shou-ching 楊守敬 (T. 惺吾, H. 鄰蘇, 1839–1915), who was a well-qualified calligrapher, epigraphist, geographer, and bibliographer, were kept busy attending the meetings of those literary men. When Yang Shou-ching went to Tokio in 1880 he found many rare Chinese books and wrote valuable notes about them which were brought together and printed in 1901 under the title 日本訪書志 Jih-pên fang-shu chih, 16 chüan. In 1881 Li Shu-ch'ang saw Yang's notes on these rare items and planned to reprint those editions which were no longer extant in China. Assisted by Yang Shou-ching, Li's project bore fruit in a collectanea, entitled 古逸叢書 Ku-i ts'ung-shu, printed in Tokio in 1882–84. It contains about 30 items, including a Japanese work, 日本國現在書目錄 Nihon-koku genzai-sho mokuroku, a catalogue of Chinese books existing in Japan before 891 A. D., compiled by Fujiwara no Sukeyo 藤原佐世 (d. 897). This collectanea is celebrated for its excellent typography. The Hsü (續) Ku-i ts'ung-shu, printed in 1922–23 by the Commercial Press, has no connection, except in name, with that of Li Shu-ch'ang and Yang Shou-ching.

Li Shu-ch'ang's eldest brother, Li Shu-tao 黎庶燾 (T. 魯新, H. 篠庭, 1827–1865), was a chü-jên of 1851. Another brother, Li Shu-fan 黎庶蕃 (T. 晉甫, H. 椒園, 1829–1886), was a chin-shih of 1852 who rose to the post of Salt Receiver. Li Shu-ch'ang's uncle, Li Hsün (see under Chêng Chên), and a son of Li Hsün, Li Chao-hsin 黎兆動 (T. 伯庸, H. 樹軒, 檬村, 1804–1864), served for years as local officials. These four, as well as the above-mentioned Li K'ai, were poets whose works were published collectively (1888–89) by Li Shu-ch'ang in Tokio under the title 黎氏家集 Li-shih chia-chi. This small work contains a collection of verse by Mo T'ing-chih (see under Mo Yu-chih), a relative of the Li family, along with miscellaneous notes and a chronological autobiography by Li An-li. A portion of the Li-shih chia-chi containing the poetical works of Li Shu-tao, Li Shu-fan and Li Chao-hsün, was printed, first in Tokio and later in Shanghai, under the title Li-shih san-chia shih-tz'ŭ (三家詩詞).

LI Shuai-t'ai 李率泰 (T. 壽疇, 叔達), d. 1666, Feb., native of T'ieh-ling, Liaotung, a member of the Chinese Plain Blue Banner, was the second son of Li Yung-fang [q. v.]. His personal name was originally Yen-ling 延齡 but at the age of twelve (sui) he was presented at the court of Nurhaci [q. v.] who conferred on him the name Shuai-t'ai. When he was sixteen (sui) he married the daughter of an imperial agnate. He accompanied Abahai [q. v.] in the campaigns against Chahar, Korea, and Chin-chou; and in 1644 followed Dorgon [q. v.] to Peking. He was active in the establishment of the Manchus in China, and took part in the fighting in the provinces of Chihli, Shantung and Honan (1644); Shensi and Kiangnan (1645); Chekiang (1646); Fukien (1646–48); and Shansi (1649). In May 1651 he was made a Grand Secretary but was discharged in August for trying to conceal a mistake in an edict. In addition to being fined, his hereditary rank was on this occasion lowered from a baron to that of Ch'i-tu-yü. However, early in 1653 he was, by special order, made a third class baron and later in the same year, on the recommendation of Hung Ch'êng-ch'ou [q. v.], he was appointed governor-general of Kwangtung and Kwangsi where he fought against the Ch'ing general, Li Ting-kuo [q. v.]. He received the title of Grand Tutor of the Heir Apparent and in 1656 was transferred to the post of governor-general of Fukien and Chekiang. Here he carried on vigorous campaigns against the Chêng Ch'êng-kung [q. v.] faction, especially promoting the building of a navy adequate for
