胡雨人是无锡地方史上一位重要人物,对于他的研究却很少。目前对他的介绍文性文字还很零星,散布于一些报刊和书籍中,其主要原因在于有关胡雨人的史料未曾进行较为系统的整理。无锡市历史学会选编的这部《胡雨人水利文集》,弥补了这一缺憾,也是地方史、乃至民国史研究领域一项值得推介的新成果。 Hu rainman is an important figure in the local history of Wuxi, for his research is very small. At present, his introductory texts are still sporadic and scattered in some newspapers and books. The main reason for this is that the historical materials on the Huyu people were not systematically organized. The book “Hu Yu Ren Shuili Anthology” compiled by the Wuxi Historical Society makes up for this shortcoming and is also a new achievement deserved to be promoted in the field of local history and the history of the Republic of China.
