Like the Han Dynasty silk book "Laozi" discovered in Mawangdui, there are a large number of text differences between the content and the existing "Zhouyi". Many paragraphs express very different meanings.
I don’t know whether it was deliberately tampered with, or whether it was due to the accumulation of countless copying errors during the nearly four thousand years of oral transmission, transcribing, and copying.
These original three volumes of the Book of Changes show the desolate and simple style of ancient times, and their research value is immeasurable.
This time, Yang Fan plans to copy and organize the Juyan Han bamboo slips unearthed this time, and then donate the originals to the modern government. He doesn't care who gets them.
He has long since passed the stage of making money from antiques. Only extremely rare antiques and antiques that he particularly likes will actively collect them. If there are too many other things, he will not collect them.
Yang Fan considered whether Xinghe Group should also focus on the cultural industry and build a museum of its own to improve its cultural taste. If there are good things in the future, they can be displayed in their own museum.
Yang Fan was in the study room of the Xining government office, smoking and thinking.
Judging from every troubled period, it is a cultural catastrophe. The sixty years of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties were sixty years of collapse and earth-shattering. Almost the majority of the population was lost.
Not to mention various books and cultural heritage.
It is better to sort out the existing books of the Ming Dynasty and preserve them as a whole while there is no chaos in the world. Otherwise, by the time Mazi comes to power, the country's population will be reduced to ten. These books will have long since disappeared.
Yang Fan touched his chin. It would be better to trick Chongzhen into doing this.
Isn't it true that Your Majesty is very happy with his achievements and always compares himself to Yao and Shun?
It is said that gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, and books can only be repaired in the prosperous times. Let's just trick him into repairing books. It just shows the martial arts atmosphere. He has such a good face, and it just happened that this matter deliberately scratched his itch. Books were repaired in the prosperous times to whitewash peace.
He must like it.
The more people lack something, the more they like to show off.
Now, the northern part of the Ming Dynasty has entered the apocalyptic mode. What His Majesty needs to show most is not only the martial arts and martial arts. Only these things can he use to deceive himself and heal himself.
This world is still under my control, and it still belongs to He Qing and Haiyan. All the people still sing in unison to praise peace. Not only did I regain Monan, but I also wanted to write a similar book that surpassed the "Yongle Dadian". Look at the descendants of future generations, who will
Don't you dare underestimate me.
Yang Fan's reconquest of Monan was my unparalleled martial arts. Now I am compiling a similar book that far exceeds the scale of "Yongle Dadian", which is to add some martial arts. Aren't I a wise king with both civil and military skills, and both civil and martial arts?
Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. That man was so narcissistic that he couldn't even imagine his own literary, military and military strategies, such as Yao, Shun, and Yu. He would definitely be tempted.
Yang Fan thought of protecting the existing historical and cultural classics of the Ming Dynasty. The first thing that came to mind was the "Yongle Dadian". This kind of book has been basically lost in modern times.
"Yongle Dadian" is a collection of ancient Chinese classics compiled by Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, Jie Jin, Yao Guangxiao and others during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
It was originally named "The Dacheng of Documents". Later, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty wrote the preface himself and gave it the name "Yongle Dadian". The book has 22,877 volumes (60 volumes of catalogue, a total of 22,937 volumes), 11,095 volumes, about 370 million words, and brings together 7,000 to 8,000 ancient and modern books.
.
In modern times, the original copy has long been lost, and there are different opinions about its whereabouts. Scholars suspect that it was buried with Yongling. The only copy that survives today was copied by the Jiajing Dynasty.
After the compilation of "Yongle Dadian" was completed during the Yongle period, only one copy was made, called the "Yongle Original Edition". No one in modern times has seen what the original copy looks like.
The original manuscript of "Yongle Dadian" was destroyed in a fire and the original copy was missing.
The author has seen the actual copy. It is a very large notebook. It is about half a meter wide and more than a foot and a half high.
The book has a yellow cover and is beautifully copied inside, with large characters.
What the author has seen should be the one that was re-recorded during the Jiajing Dynasty for fear of damaging the ceremony, and is called the "Jiajing copy".
Because the two canons were hidden deep in the palace, they were not published and rarely circulated.
For more than six hundred years, it has been stolen, robbed, and burned during the changes of dynasties and internal and external troubles. In modern times, the "original" has disappeared, and there are only more than 400 "copies" left (hidden in the National Library, and some are scattered
Japan and Europe).
It's really a pity, its value is no less than "Sikuquanshu".
Yang Fan felt his fingers burn, then realized that the cigarette had burned to the filter. He quickly threw away the cigarette butt and stamped it out.
I was so absorbed in thinking about the ceremony that I forgot about the cigarette between my fingers.
The "Yongle Dadian" is even worse than the "Sikuquanshu", which has basically been lost. At least there are still a few sets of the Sikuquanshu surviving in the world, and there are complete sets on the mainland and on the island.
There are Wenyuan Pavilion, Wenjin Pavilion, Wensu Pavilion and Wenlan Pavilion editions that have been handed down to this day.
The Wenyuan Pavilion edition is now in the collection of Taiwan Province, the Wenjin Pavilion edition is in the Beijing Library, and the Wensu Pavilion edition is in the Gansu Provincial Library. Many of the Wenlan Pavilion editions were lost during the war, and were later handed over and copied, and basically completed.
Qi, now in the Zhejiang Provincial Library.
Yang Fan considered whether to write a letter to His Majesty and ask about the current situation of "Yongle Dadian".
Protect it if you can, or simply copy out a few more sets of Chongzhen manuscripts. Don't let it be lost again.
In addition, he planned to simply submit a letter requesting the establishment of a compilation office of "Chongzhen Dadian" and recommend some well-educated Confucian scholars and great scholars to serve as chief editors and editors. Recruit 10,000 scholars across the country to work in groups to read, review, compile, and copy...
Taking advantage of the fact that most provinces in the Ming Dynasty are still relatively stable, hurry up and protect all kinds of books, documents, and precious cultural relics before the world is in chaos. Let Xinghe Bank start to buy cultural relics in various places. You can pay silver coins, or you can pay the current highest price.
Food, cloth and other supplies are in short supply.
Ask the emperor and the cabinet to issue an order to allow all parts of the country to donate books and temporarily borrow the copies from the editing office to record and return them. Then, the collected documents and books will be sorted into categories.
Three years later, the compiled books were compiled.
The collection of books is compulsory. All existing books are obliged to be handed over to the court to keep copies.
Originally willing to sell, Xinghe Bank financed the purchase.
You can pay with silver coins, or you can pay with grain, cloth, cans and other easy-to-preserve foods. After all, the northern part of the Ming Dynasty has entered famine mode. Food is more important than silver.
Even if it is sold, after printing, more than five printed copies will be given to the original owner.
Xincheng Academy has already produced printing presses driven by type and steam engines. Large-scale printing is not a problem. Scholars can also be recruited from places like Beijing and Nanjing to copy. Now unemployed people are everywhere.
Scholars don’t have five buckets of food at home, and there are so many people willing to work.
Yang Fan estimated that with Chongzhen's character and temper, this matter would be tempting.
The only thing that makes His Majesty hesitate is the issue of funding. This is a good thing to put money on his face. If he doesn't have to pay, it would be strange if he doesn't want to.
