《說文解字》云：「叢，聚也。」可知叢書之編輯應有匯集衆書之特性。自宋兪鼎孫等人編《儒學警悟》以來，迄明代而叢書之編輯更蓬勃發展，如程榮《廣漢魏叢書》、陳繼儒《寶顏堂祕笈》、毛晉《津逮祕書》等，皆一時之選。而一部質量兼備之叢書，當如張之洞《書目答問》卷五所言，「蒐殘存佚，為功尤鉅」。然叢書刊刻風氣既盛，良莠不齊固有之。是以閱讀者利用此等資料，若無法掌握該部叢書之得失利弊，將導致錯誤判斷，研究失真。筆者茲以《寶顏堂祕笈》所收《春渚紀聞》為例，一則檢視該部叢書所收小說《春渚紀聞》，是否可供後世讀者閱讀。另則透過《春渚紀聞》初探《寶顏堂祕笈》叢書，是否值得後世治學者所利用。故從版本源流、文獻價值、文學價值等論述，期能反映出《寶顏堂祕笈》叢書之優缺點。

According to "Words Explanation": "A Bundle, it means gathering together." It's easy to tell that Books in serials may gather all books together. Ever since Sung, Yu, Ding, Sun collected "Warning messages for scholars", there are booming development in editing Serials Books. Such as Chen Ron "Kuan-Han-Wei Serials"; Chen, ChiWu "Secrets of Bau-Yen Tan"; Miao Chin "Chin-Dai Secrets", they were all best collections. One remarkable serials books with quality should contribute to Chang, Chi-Tung "Q & A for books". According to his books Roll V., all merits go to the collectors who found the missing parts. However, in the booming era, lot of editors are publishing serials books. And it's hard to control the quality. I will use the article "Sprint News" collected by "Secrets of Bau-Yen Tan" as an example. I will examine if "Sprint News" is worthy for offspring to study. Another purpose is thru "Sprint News" to evaluate if "Secrets of Bau-Yen Tan" are useful For recent scholars to further explore. I hope from the beginning, literal values and contributions to re-visit the good and bad parts of "Secrets of Bau-Yen Tan".
