從地庫，拿了3冊線裝書上來，拍了照，放在blog上。這些都是“存家之寶”，計有《太上寶筏圖說》、《醉墨軒畫譜》及《芥子園畫傳》，老實說，大多沒有完全翻過，因為疏於小心保存，每次翻動，紙張都會脫落、損傷。其中保存得較好的，要算是《太上寶筏圖說》了。
從先母口中得悉，戰後從紅磡寶其利街，搬往深水埗保護兒童會對面的砵蘭街，離開紅磡街那個傷心地。在一個下午，有一中年道姑上門化緣，母親給了她十元八塊，在道姑離去前，便送給母親這5冊《太上寶筏圖說》，並囑咐母親，如不看的話，千萬不要擰掉或焚毀，轉送給親友，就功德無量了。結果，《太上寶筏圖說》隨我搬了數次家，一直飛到美國，在這蠻荒異域，落戶安家。
月兒彎彎照九州
据明代《泾林续记》记载:明太祖朱元璋在登基不久，曾设宴邀请一些有社会名望的高寿老人，其中有一位九十歲老人周壽誼，朱知周是昆山人，便問﹕聽說昆山腔很好聽，你也會唱嗎？周壽誼就用昆山腔唱了『月儿弯弯照九州』，至於昆山腔是怎樣唱，便不得而知，只知昆劇的昆腔『水磨調』是源出於昆山腔。看來，周壽誼不只是向朱元璋介紹昆山腔，其實是別有用心的，他是提醒朱﹕得天下要取民心，在宴請社会有名望的人，亦不要忽視民間疾苦。
南宋民歌：《月儿弯弯照九州》
月儿弯弯照九州, 几家欢乐几家愁。几家夫妇同罗帐，几个飘零在外头？

月兒彎彎照九州 漁船兒到處好停留 青山綠水風光好呀 魚哥哥吹笛妹梳頭
月兒彎彎照九州 漁家的工作幾時休 白天搖船夜補網呀 小妹妹青春水裡丟
月兒彎彎照九州 翻天的風浪使人愁 要穿要吃那顧得險呀 可憐夜夜淚雙流
月兒彎彎照九州 今天一去不回頭 誰教你走上虛榮的路呀 一朝墮落一生休
月兒彎彎照九州 人生的苦樂自尋求 好人到底收場也好呀 一分勤力一分的酬

If I give my heart to you
Will you handle it with care?
Will you always
treat me tenderly?
And in every way be fair?
If I give my heart to
you
Will you give me all your love?
Will you swear that you'll be true to
me?
By the light that shines above?
And will you sigh with me when I'm
sad?
Smile with me when I'm glad?
And always be as you are with me
tonight?
Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer till you
do
When you promise all these things to me
Then I'll give my heart to
you
Think it over and be
sure
Please don't answer till you do
When you promise all these things to
me
Then I'll give my heart to you

Julie
But somehow I can see
Just exactly how I'd be-
If I loved you,
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know.
If I loved you,
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go!
Longin' to tell you,
But afraid and shy,
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!
Soon you'd leave me,
Off you would go in the mist of day,
Never, never to know how I loved you
If I loved you.
Billy
Well, anyway, you mean you don't love me.
That's what you said, isn't it?
Julie
Yes!
I can smell 'em, can you, ah?
The blossoms. The wind brings 'em down!
Billy
There ain't much wind tonight... Hardly any.
You can't hear a sound, not the turn of a leaf
Nor the fall of a wave hittin' the sand.
The tide's creepin' up on the beach like a thief,
Afraid to be caught stealin' the land!
On a night like this I start to wonder
What life is all about.
Julie
And I always say two heads are better than one to
figure it out.
Billy
[spoken]
I don't need you, I don't need anybody helpin' me.
Well, I got it figured out for myself.
We're not important. What are we?
A couple o' specks with nothin'
Look up there...
[sung]
There's a hell of a lotta stars in the sky,
And the sky's so big the sea looks small,
And two little people, you and I
We don't count at all.
[spoken]
You're a funny kid, you know?
I don't remember meetin' a girl like you.
Hey, you're tryin' to get me to marry you?
Julie
No!
Billy
Then what's puttin' into my head, babe?
You're diff'rent, alright! I know what it is...
You have doped me with that little kid's face, right?
You've adjusted me!
I wonder what it'd be like...
Julie
What?
Billy
Nothin'.
No, I know what it'd be like.
It'd be awful! I can just see myself-
Kinda scrawny, and pale
Picking at my food,
And love-sick like any other guy.
I'd throw away my sweater, and dress up like a dude
In a dicky and a collar and a tie.
If I loved you.
Julie
[spoken]
But you don't!
Billy
No, I don't!
[sung]
But somehow I can see
Just exactly how I'd be
If I loved you,
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know.
If I loved you,
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go!
Longin' to tell you,
But afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!
Soon you'd leave me,
Off you would go in the mist of day,
Never, never to know
How I loved you
If I loved you.
[spoken]
Aha...I'm not the kinda fella to marry anybody!
No, even if a girl was foolish enough to want me to,
I wouldn't!
Julie
Don't worry about it, Billy!
Billy
Who's worried?
Julie
You were right about there bein' no wind.
The blossoms are comin' down by theirselves.
Just they're in time to, I reckon.
