Xin Shu is an important source for the study on Jia Yi’s life and thoughts, and has always been highly valued by scholars. However, there has been a major dispute over its final compiler. Besides, since the Song Dynasty, there have been many engraved versions of Xin Shu , and their mutual relationships and evolutions deserve our close attention. On the  basis  of  a  careful  literature  review,  this  paper  points  out  that  Liu  Xiang  and  his  son  Liu  Xin  compiled  it  and  gave it the title of Xin Shu . Jia Yi Xin Shu , which was revised by the Qing-dynasty scholar Lu Wen-chao, must be the most influential engraved version, while Xin Shu Jiao Zhu, which was revised and annotated by both Yan Zhen-yi and Zhong Xia, has become a most important version for today’s scholars.

Ma Duanlin adjusted classifications when compiling catalogues of previous dynasties in the Confucian Classics.  The  adjustments  included  those  resulting  from  classification  item  settings  and  their  sequences,  horizontal relationships and vertical evolutions, those caused by classifiers’ subjective viewpoints and different ideologies as well as human errors, those due to book contents, their authenticity and changes of positions, and those resulting from alterations of  academic  ideas  of  times.  An  analysis  of  the  bibliographies  of  successive  dynasties  and  the  academic  histories, especially being compared with the Catalogue Summary of Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature, shows that the classification adjustments of the Confucian Classics played a pivotal role. Ma Duanlin wrote about and discussed properties  of  books,  their  characteristics,  circulation  and  authenticity,  and  explored  book  contents  as  well  as  their academic  thoughts  by  referring  to  Zhu  Xi’s  philosophy,  hence  making  the  Confucian  Classics  a  great  bibliographical work accomplishing academic, cultural historical missions.

This article, based on the Research Libraries Guiding Principles for Artificial Intelligence published by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), investigates the implementation of AI literacy education in all ARL member libraries in higher education through an online survey. The results show that AI literacy education in ARL member libraries is typically carried out through providing AI literacy research guides, embedded course instruction, seminars, and collaborative projects. These initiatives are characterized by flexible and diverse formats, serving both teaching and research needs, emphasizing AI ethics, fostering critical thinking, and promoting various forms of collaboration. Based on these findings, it is suggested that university libraries in China could enhance the quality and level of AI literacy education by organizing diverse educational activities, balancing knowledge and skills with ethical awareness, strengthening cross disciplinary communication and collaboration, and keeping up with best practices in a timely manner.
