In the construction of Library Science History, modern Western conceptual tools such as library and bookcollecting house have the same meaning, and some views didn’t overcome the influence of a Westcentered theory, such as that feudal bookcollecting houses declined while modern libraries were thriving.A big number of modern bookcollecting houses had different fates in modern times actually in terms of region or space.Interaction and integration took place between bookcollecting houses and bookcollectors, between bookcollecting houses and inner parts of Chinese civilization.In accordance with Western conceptual tools, the bookcollecting role was highlighted, which led to the disembedding of bookcollecting houses from Chinese society as a whole.Therefore, the subjective reembedding of bookcollecting houses also indicates the importance of a conceptual tool construction in modern China, and is helpful for the construction of library science history with Chinese characteristics.
