1826, Ming Dynasty Book Rescue Plan
Juyan Han bamboo slips! This is the first time Yang Fan has heard of it.
He immediately checked it, it doesn't matter if he doesn't, and he was shocked when he checked it.
The Juyan Han Sword is one of the "Four Major Discoveries of Chinese Ancient Documents in the Early Twentieth Century".
These four major discoveries include the oracle bones of Yinxu, the Han bamboo slips of Juyan, the Dunhuang manuscripts and the archives of the cabinets of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
From other items, we can see the heavyweight of the Juyan Han Shop.
These discoveries not only show the brilliant achievements of ancient Chinese civilization, but also provide valuable physical information for historical research.
In the area north of Gansu Great Wall, there were still wastelands and savannas in the late Ming Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, the beacon towers and town relics in the Tang Dynasty were densely visible. However, in modern times, due to changes in the natural environment and destruction, the Badain Jilin Desert, Tengger Desert and Kubuqi Desert expanded wildly, and were basically buried under the yellow sand and had nowhere to look for it.
Yang Fan suddenly realized that in the late Ming Dynasty, these dense beacon towers, castle ruins, tomb ruins, ash pit ruins, etc. buried a large number of precious ancient books and documents. This is a convenience that is not available in modern times.
Most of these things are wooden slips of the Han Dynasty, not bamboo slips.
Because it is located in the northwest, there is no bamboo here.
The local garrison officers and soldiers could only cut wood slices, connect straw ropes to form a book, and make wooden slips instead of bamboo slips.
Since 1913 and 1930, a total of about 30,000 bamboo slips, wooden slips, wooden slips, etc. were unearthed from the ruins of the Han Dynasty beacon towers in Juyan, the present-day Ejina Banner of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Jinta County of Gansu Province.
The vast majority are the garrison documents under the jurisdiction of the Juyan Duwei and Jianshui Duwei in Zhangye County. The earliest record on the existing wooden slips is 90 BC. It is an important material for studying the history of the Han Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Niangpi Commander discovered such awesome things.
Yang Fan immediately searched the previous excavation location and this excavation location according to the modern map and compared it. Because he could not repeat the existing wooden slips of modern times, it would be impossible to explain it. Only modern times do not have them so that they can be released.
Yang Fan quickly let go of his guard. Because the locations of the two excavations were different, the contents could not be the same. Each of these documents and other things is unique. Except for the official archives, there will be archives, the others will not be repeated.
If it is an official archive, it is normal to have duplicates, but the handwriting will not be the same. This thing is handwritten, and archived is also copied, and it will not be printed.
The Juyan Han bamboo slips that exist in modern times are the product of two excavations.
In 1913, in 1930, Swedish scholar Bergman discovered in Juyan area of Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and a total of more than 10,000 Han bamboo slips were unearthed. Most of these Han bamboo slips were archives of border stuary in the Han Dynasty, and a small part was books, calendar books and private letters.
This part exists in the Institute of History and Culture under the Taipei Institute of Central Research.
From 1972 to 1976, the Gansu Provincial Cultural Relics Department once again excavated and unearthed more than 20,000 Han bamboo slips. This part was stored in the Gansu Bamboo and Sword Museum.
Yang Fan compared the excavation sites, but did not overlap, which means that the content was impossible to repeat. There has been severe desertification in modern times. In the late Ming Dynasty, areas were still in wastelands and savannas, and now they are all yellow sand thousands of miles away. It is estimated that they may not be discovered in a few hundred years.
Yang Fan sent a pen to Xiao Niangpi and asked her to organize people to do a comprehensive rescue excavation of the Han Dynasty beacon towers and castle ruins outside the Gansu Great Wall. However, he avoided the two places that have been excavated in modern times. The sand and soil on both sides must be sieveed, and there must be no omissions.
Later, he replied that Guan Zhong would buy these Chinese bamboo slips from overseas and send them back to China in the near future.
Judging from the production materials of Juyan Han bamboo slips, they are the "tables" category among the "tables".
According to its own shape, the name is written, including certificates, inspections, boards, proclamations, simplified, two lines, goblets, books, talismans, tragedies, passes, and slitting clothes.
There are routine official documents, appointment and removal of officials, personnel changes, border movements, military discipline handling, work on the food supply, transfer of materials, entry and exit of items, inspection, and breakage.
In addition, there are post letters, famous books, certificates, letters of love, certificates of honor, archived official documents, and transactions and loan contracts between officials and citizens, etc.
Distinguish by its nature and purpose:
First, documents, including letters, proclamations, prosecutors, talismans, and criminal proceedings:
The second is the book category, including beacon towers, garrisons, disease deaths, money, grains, fame, assets, utensils, chariots, food, wine, food, books, and miscellaneous books;
The third is letters;
Fourth, the classics and books include history, elementary school, six classics, laws and regulations, medical prescriptions, and arts;
Yang Fan became more and more excited the more he looked at it. These things almost included all areas of social life in the Western Han Dynasty. By studying these Han bamboo slips, a colorful and real Han Dynasty society could be reproduced.
The content reflected in the Juyan Han bamboo slips is very rich. It not only truly records the original garrison activities and rise and fall history of the Juyan area, but also retains important archives and documentary materials from the middle of the Western Han Dynasty to the early Eastern Han Dynasty, involving the actual situation in many fields such as politics, economy, military, culture, science and technology, law, philosophy, religion and ethnicity in the entire Han Dynasty society. It has extremely high scientific, historical and cultural relics value and has had a profound impact on historical research.
Yang Fan made up his mind to take advantage of the fact that these areas have not become deserts now, and conduct rescue excavations, conduct a systematic excavation of the Han and Tang sites in the entire Hetao area and the Hexi area, and transport the sorted cultural relics to the new city.
A cultural classics research institute was established to organize, classify, study, etc., and copy the content into a book. It is estimated that the content of these things is hundreds of times that of the 50,000 bamboo and wood slip books unearthed in modern times.
In addition to Jianshu, it is estimated that a large number of Han and Tang utensils will be retained, such as daily necessities, tools, farm tools, weapons and equipment, etc. These are also of great value.
Yang Fan decided to tell her to do this. Anyway, she has been quite idle recently, running around and traveling everywhere. If she doesn't find anything for her, her heart will run away.
After Yang Fan donated two Western Zhou bamboo books last time, Yan Da was very excited.
Finally, he defeated Huaqing and won a big victory.
If you have Huaqing Jian, it is just something from the Warring States Period. As for the authenticity, many people still question it. We have bamboo books from the Western Zhou Dynasty. The domestic expert group repeatedly argued that it is absolutely true and there is no doubt.
Because of such a great collection, the school's taste has improved. In universities around the world, that library has a collection of books with a history of 3,000 years.
In order to protect and exhibit two Western Zhou Dynasty books, "Lianshan Yi" and "Guizang Yi", Yan University specially applied for grants and built the Chinese Ancient Book Museum on the shore of Weiming Lake.
After two years of construction, it has been completed and put into use.
The most advanced book preservation technology in contemporary times can provide the best preservation conditions for these precious ancient books. At the same time, a team of research experts was established to start systematic research.
Yang Fan sent Sun Xing to represent him at the opening ceremony.
Chapter completed!
