"Hongwu Grand Ceremony?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise.

After just talking about the compilation of the mythological system, he suddenly heard that Da Sun was going to compile a book of classics, histories, zis, collections, and hundreds of schools of thought in the name of his reign. As for astronomy, geographies, yin and yang

, the words of medicine, divination, monks, Taoism, and craftsmanship are prepared in a bunch, and the mother is tired of the numerous ones.

The compiled canon is called the Hongwu Dadian.

Zhu Ying nodded and said: "My grandson wants to spend 10 million guan of treasure money on this matter."

"Not only the academic knowledge within the Ming Dynasty, but also from overseas countries, will be included. Sun'er will send orders to the officials on this voyage to the West to collect and analyze it."

This is the inspiration from the Yongle Dadian, but Zhu Ying doesn't want to just follow the Yongle Dadian method.

The Hongwu Grand Ceremony to be built this time will not be completed. Instead, it will be continuously compiled and updated, accumulating knowledge from all over the world and incorporating it into it to create an encyclopedia of world concepts.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Da Sun on the shoulder and sighed in his heart.

Because he knew that these were the things that the great grandson had done for himself, and naming the Hongwu ceremony was for his reputation.

"This is a good thing. It doesn't need to be arranged on our heads. We know our reputation in our own hearts, so it doesn't matter."

"Sometimes I worry too much about these things, which actually makes me constrained. It would be better if I put it on you, my great grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well how much manpower and material resources were needed to compile the canon, and it also required the inclusion of overseas knowledge.

In the Ming Dynasty alone, knowledge is already vast, let alone overseas.

Translation is a very complicated issue.

Just listening to Da Sun's thoughts, I knew how much influence this canon would have after it was compiled.

If we want to make an analogy, it is already equivalent to Mount Tai's Feng Chan.

Of course, this Taishan Fengchan was compared to Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, not Song Zhenzong who lowered the Taishan Fengchan.

And in terms of its own meaning, the ceremony has a more practical effect.

In the inheritance of culture, as information is not developed now, many classics are not in large numbers after publication, and some even only have handwritten copies. Not all books will have a large number of rubbings.

Including the Ming Dynasty, due to the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a large number of books were damaged and lost, and many precious knowledge inheritances were cut off or are in the process of being cut off.

Among them are mainly Jing, Shi, Zi, Ji, and some commentaries by once erudite people.

As for astronomy, geographies, yin and yang, medicine, and divination, they are even more unique inheritances and are most easily lost.

After all of them are collected, first of all, this knowledge will be more easily disseminated, and it can even be classified and printed in large quantities, so that there will be less detours in learning the knowledge.

Cultural knowledge is the cornerstone of civilization development.

Only a strong civilization can have a longer lifespan.

If it is designated as the Hongwu Grand Ceremony, the name of Hongwu will inevitably be spread throughout the ages and even to future generations.

Zhu Yuanzhang hopes to leave this honor to his eldest grandson.

Zhu Yingying said firmly: "Grandpa, you don't have to be like this. This book will continue to be compiled during my grandson's lifetime, which means that my grandson's name will also be recorded in history."

"This is the canon compiled during the reign of Hongwu. Naturally, it is more appropriate to name it after Hongwu."

"Grandpa, don't argue with your grandson about this."

Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to follow Da Sun's arrangements.

This matter was announced in the morning of the next day, and a report was published to inform the world.

In the case of Hongwu Grand Ceremony, first of all, a large number of editors are needed.

The Hanlin Academy has something to do.

The chief editor of Yongle Dadian in history was Xie Jin.

Now Xie Jin has followed Zhu Yunwen to Champa.

It was Huang Zicheng who persuaded Xie Jin to go to occupy the city. Xie Jin, who was still quite happy with his achievements, naturally wanted to express his ambitions more freely.

With the previous testimony of the Japanese country, Xie Jin naturally wanted to be like Xia Yuanji.

Even though Huang Zicheng was still there to weigh him down, he was definitely a top official.

In fact, Zhu Ying could have recalled Jie Jin, as he did when compiling the Yongle Dadian in history, but after thinking about it carefully, he still felt it was unnecessary.

Because according to Zhu Ying's idea, this Hongwu Ceremony should be more detailed.

Zhu Ying planned to leave the editor-in-chief matter to Liu Sanwu.

As far as today's literati are concerned, no matter in terms of qualifications or reputation, including his own literary accomplishment, Liu Sanwu is unparalleled.

Even though Liu Sanwu is very old now, there is no cloudiness in his eyes and his mind is very clear.

And at this age, most of the body has been buried in the ground, and the only thing that is persistent is the word knowledge.

Presumably he will put all his lifelong learning into it.

After receiving the appointment, Liu Sanwu burst into tears of gratitude.

In the Fengtian Palace, when Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to be the editor-in-chief of this matter, Liu Sanwu was trembling all over.

At such an old age, I am really worried that problems will arise like this.

Liu Sanwu bowed to the ground, his tone was firm and exciting, and he made a sound like an oath: "I will devote myself to the Hongwu Ceremony until my death."

At this time, Liu Sanwu seemed to have found the last glory in his life.

He has been studying knowledge all his life, from the Yuan Dynasty to the present Ming Dynasty, which lasted almost a century.

All the civil servants looked at Liu Sanwu with envy.

At the same time, I also probably realized that after the compilation of the Hongwu Canon was completed, at Liu Sanwu’s current age, it would probably be the time when Liu Sanwu passed away.

In this way, it can be said that Liu Sanwu truly released all the light in his life.

After Liu Sanwu was confirmed as the chief editor, the remaining editors were the chief editors of each subject.

Yongle Dadian does not have the method of editor-in-chief of this category, but Zhu Ying wants to do it.

Classics, History, Zi, and Collection are easy to find. After all, they belong to the official academic system, and the candidates are basically in the Hanlin Academy.

The trouble lies in the opinions of hundreds of schools of thought.

Among them, in the field of medicine, Zhu Ying still asked Zhou Wang Zhu Ji to take care of it.

After all, the current medical school is developing very well, and it has a great influence on both civilians and the military. Especially the establishment of military medical knowledge has allowed many wounded soldiers to save their lives on the battlefield.

The medical field currently has relatively complete personnel and systems, and it just needs to be sorted out and compiled.

But things like astronomy, geography, yin and yang, metaphysics, etc. are a lot of trouble. Now we can only recruit more capable people from the people.

Fortunately, the current Qin Tian Jian is developing well, and Liu Rixin is in charge of metaphysics.

The mythological system is also in the Hongwu Grand Ceremony. Now Yao Guangxiao is still on the way from the grassland to the capital, waiting for him to return before taking charge.

Zhu Ying has to personally participate in this.

I have read a lot of novels about previous lives, and I am especially familiar with the prehistoric system.

Moving the prehistoric system in later novels into the current mythological system will have a huge impact on the mythological system of today's world.

Moreover, the prehistoric system truly interprets Buddhism and Taoism.

Especially the saying that Buddha is originally the Tao.

This is equivalent to giving Ming Dynasty the name of great righteousness to absorb overseas Buddhism.

In addition to the collection of local books, there is actually another very troublesome aspect in compiling the Hongwu Canon.

That is the collection of folk knowledge.

You must know that many of today's unique craftsmanship are not recorded in books. There is also a way of inheritance, which is called word of mouth.

Knowledge that often involves word-of-mouth transmission is more valuable and more accessible.

Among Zhu Ying's requirements, all knowledge must be handed over to the court.

And this includes martial arts.

This means that martial arts classics from various folk sects are also covered.

This can be regarded as Zhu Ying's selfishness.

In later generations, the so-called martial arts secrets have long become legends, and people no longer believe in the so-called martial arts.

When guns became popular, Chinese martial arts fell into a complete decline because they cherished their broomsticks.

After its final glory bloomed during the Republic of China, it disappeared into the dust of history.

It is indeed a pity that five thousand years of skill inheritance has disappeared like this.

So even if this decree might cause a bloody storm in today's world, Zhu Ying didn't care.

Standing at Zhu Ying's level, you will find that the right and wrong of many things cannot be defined now and can only be proven by time.

This matter was left to Song Zhong.
