Chapter 111: The Past and Present of the Yongle Ceremony! 【Subscription requested! 】。
Chen Feng held the box at this time, did not dare to open the book, and looked at Fang Yang excitedly: “This… Is it true! ”
If Fang Yang had looked at it before, he would have looked at it casually.
But this time was different, the Yongle Grand Dian was too precious, and he didn’t want to damage it because of his own reasons.
“Give me a glove and cut a hole in the front of my index finger and thumb so I can flip through it!”
“Good!”
The archaeological team next to him immediately took out gloves from the toolbox to process them.
In about two minutes, a pair of gloves was ready.
Fang Yang put on gloves and carefully took out the Yongle Grand Ceremony from the box.
This book is different from ordinary books, and in terms of size, the gap is very large. 50CM in length, close to half a meter long.
That’s a lot more than the average book, and there’s more than one in this box!
The main thing is that there are two such boxes next to him, and nine times out of ten, they contain the Yongle Classic.
Thinking of this, Rao was also a little excited.
He had long known that this was the true work of the Yongle Ceremony, but in order to make a appearance, he still opened it and took a look.
It has to be said that even after hundreds of years of this book, the paper is still very white.
As the system introduced before, the paper of Yongle Da Dian is called white cotton paper, which uses a mixture of bark and bamboo. The case is made in a ratio of 7 to 3.
The paper is very delicate and particularly absorbent.
The handwriting on it is in the pavilion font, and each word is the same size, which looks very comfortable.
Of course, if there is no systematic translation of the above classical text, it is no different from the Book of Heaven for him.
After reading for a while, he put the book back in its original place and said lightly: “It can be determined that this is a copy copied by the Jiajing Emperor!” ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim.
Chen Feng forced himself to tremble, his eyes staring at the box without blinking.
This is the Yongle Classic, there are only more than 200 copies in the country, and there are only more than 400 books left in the world.
One copy can sell for tens of millions!
It not only carries historical documents, but also the pride of the famous Chinese family.
And now, right in front of his eyes, he didn’t even dare to touch it.
I’m afraid I’ll accidentally crumple it a little!
This moment was like a dream for him!
As for the audience on the field, when they heard the words of the Yongle Ceremony, they were already unable to hold back.
I can’t wait to rush up and take a look right away.
You must know that this is a real treasure of Huaxia, and today I found a few copies here in 31.
They, as witnesses, only look on the Internet, how can this be endured!
There was already a commotion at the scene at this time, and the crowd unconsciously squeezed inside.
Director Chen broke out in a cold sweat and immediately shouted: “Fang Yang, you hurry up and think of a way, you can’t control it anymore!” ”
Fang Yang woke up, if he let them rush in now, it was very likely to damage the cultural relics, and then it would really be a big trouble.
So he quickly stood on the tracks of the excavator and yelled: “Don’t get excited!!” If you all rush over to see, it will easily cause damage to cultural relics, and then we will all be sinners!! You don’t have to worry, tomorrow, I promise you, tomorrow I will put it on the museum exhibition, so that you can see enough! ”
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers immediately cheered, and all of them consciously retreated.
Fang Yang looked at the circle just now was obviously much smaller than before, and if it was not organized in time, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
【Popularity】+1+1+1+1.
–【Groove Groove! Yongle Festival!! There was a Yongle ceremony in this coffin, which stunned my jaw, I especially regretted not going to the scene, such an important moment, I was not there, the yard of the field is almost regretful, tomorrow I will go to the scene to see it. 】
–[Bull, Fang Yang is awesome! ] At this moment I even wanted to shout, I don’t know why I was so excited when he dug up this thing. It is too precious, comparable to our Jiuding and the Jade Seal of China, it is a kind of faith, which can be called an ancient and modern book! 】
–[Many people don’t understand that the Yongle Classic is not an encyclopedia, is it so important, so to speak, many aspects of foreign development, artistic style and culture have been influenced by the Yongle Classic, and there are even rumors that the reason why the West is developing so fast is inseparable from the Yongle Classic. 】
[All of China, thousands of years of knowledge before the Ming Dynasty, all collected in it, if it can really be collected, then his historical value is really immeasurable, but unfortunately, it is no longer possible, more than 10,000 books are now not even a fraction left. ] 】
After the archaeologists opened the remaining boxes, they found that they were all Yongle Dian.
And except for the bottom one, which is a little rotten, everything else is well preserved.
After counting, there are a total of 18 Yongle classics.
All the archaeologists present were delighted.
Eighteen books!
If at the market price, these eighteen instincts are worth a billion!
But for Huaxia, its real value is far more than one billion.
Chen Feng excitedly held Fang Yang’s hand: “Fang Yang, I served, I really served, even you can dig this, its value is much higher than the twelve beast heads you dug up yesterday, we are really happy to have someone like you in Xihai City!” ”
Fang Yang looked at his excited look, quite embarrassed: “What… there is something to say, don’t move your hands and feet!” ”
Chen Feng was stunned, and immediately withdrew his hands: “Sorry, a little excited, you see so many audiences at the scene, don’t you plan to give everyone a popular science?” ”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding audience immediately roared.
“That’s it, Teacher Fang who hurried!”
“We love the above teacher’s history class!”
“That’s right, Teacher Fang, let’s start quickly!”
Fang Yang was also confused, when did he become a teacher Fang.
Just as he was confused, Director Chen handed over a large microphone: “Talk quickly, otherwise do you think we can control these people?”
“This… All right! ”
Fang Yang picked up the big microphone and began to explain to it, and the archaeologists also specially walked to him with a wooden box: “Before talking about the Yongle Classic, we can talk about the person who repaired him, Zhu Di!” ”
“Zhu Di, this person, may not be a good person, but he must be a good emperor. However, in the Confucian moral system, the battle of Jing was the biggest stain on Zhu Di’s life, so Zhu Di, under the tradition of cultivating books in the prosperous era, decided to compile an unprecedented Yongle canon to prove himself! ”
“The Huo Qubing that I just talked about today, since ancient times, Wu has the unearthly merit of sealing the wolf Juxu, and the ancient saying of Wen Youxiu and the classics!”
“Before you understand Zhu Di’s Yongle Classic, you need to know that in ancient times without the Internet, books were an important database for people to search for information. The so-called book-like, just like our current Baidu, compiles the relevant content together, you only need to search for a word, and immediately there will be a bunch of answers. ”
“But in ancient times, there was no Internet, and the Yongle Classic, which is known as an encyclopedia, is the pinnacle of this kind of book.”
“For example, in this Rong character scroll in front of me, he not only has the explanation of the hibiscus plant by [Ge Wu Congtan], but also the explanation of the economic value of hibiscus by [Nong Sang Summary], and even the verses about hibiscus by poets such as Wang Wei and Liu Zongyuan can be found.”
As this paragraph ended, there was a commotion at the scene. Most of them know that the Yongle Festival is precious. But not many people know it’s an encyclopedia. It’s almost all worth staying at the stage of listening.
But hearing Fang Yang’s explanation at this time, he immediately understood that this was definitely a big project.
Fang Yang waited for them to calm down before continuing: “In the 1403 year of the park, Zhu Di appointed the great talent Xie Xie to be the chief compiler of the [Yongle Dian]. ”
“Zhu Di’s requirement for this book is that since the book contract, whether it is a subset of scripture and history, the words of a hundred schools, or astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, and Taoist monk skills, in short, it covers ancient and modern, covering all aspects. All the wealth of knowledge! To put it bluntly, everything before the Ming Dynasty was written! ”
“But in fact, at first, Xie Xie thought that Zhu Di was a whim, and it only took a year to compile a book casually and hand it over, and the result was obvious, Zhu Di was not satisfied, and let Yao Guangxiao, who knew him best, personally go to supervise the work!”
Xie Xie was dumbfounded, he and Yao Guangxiao understood that Zhu Di was going to play for real, and he wanted to make a big wave! Zhu Di’s original intention was to cultivate an unprecedented book to prove himself, how could it end so easily! ”
“So, from 147 at the beginning, it increased to 2196! As you can imagine, how much work was at that time! ”
“In the end, it took more than 2,000 people 5 years to finally repair this great book, which contains seven or eight thousand kinds of books since the Ming Dynasty, and all the knowledge wealth of the Chinese famous family for thousands of years!”
“A total of 11,095 volumes, 22,877 volumes, a total of about 370 million words, I dare say that no one in this world can memorize this book!”
Suddenly, the scene burst into laughter.
But when they heard the numbers and content above, they were all stunned. What a huge project this is, it is estimated that only the emperor can complete it.
If an ordinary person is poor all his life, he can only do a small part. Moreover, when Zhu Di was in power, he fought wars all year round, and the national treasury itself was very tight. The money required to revise the Yongle Canon is certainly immeasurable.
But in fact, when an emperor dies, future generations remember more about what he did.
For example, Zhu Di, obviously robbed his nephew of the throne, but later generations did not scold him much, more thought that he was a good emperor, Fang Yang’s mouth pointed at the microphone and continued: “You know, these 370 million words are not like we can print them out now, they are all copied out manually one by one, and if they are wrong, they have to be rewritten!” ”
“And the most rare thing is that as Zhu Di, as the emperor, his requirements for this book are that all personnel strictly follow the principle of only including and not tampering with it, ensuring the authenticity of the information!”
“Take the [Siku Quanshu] compiled by Qianlong, for example, it has 990 million words, but its historical document value is not worth mentioning compared with the Yongle Classic. It is because even if there are words unfavorable to Zhu Di on this book, he does not care, only pursues the truth! On the contrary, the Siku Quanshu has changed and changed, all sycophancy! ”
“Later, there were several fires in the palace, and knowing that there was one of the biggest fires during the Jiajing period, he realized that he had to copy another copy, so there was a copy of the Yongle Grand Canon that we see now!”
“But what is very strange is that just after re-recording the new one, Jiajing also died, and the original of the Yongle Grand Ceremony also disappeared, some people say that he was taken to the coffin by Jiajing, and some people say that Li Zicheng burned the palace clean with a fire, and all of them are gone.”
“I personally still hope to be brought to the mausoleum, but unfortunately for so many years, archaeological experts have not dared to open Jiajing’s mausoleum, for fear that once the contents are opened, they will instantly oxidize and dissipate!”
I have to say that when Fang Yang gave a history class on the spot, the fans were very engaged in listening to it. There were very few voices at the scene, and almost all of them listened carefully, unwilling to make noise.
【Popularity】+1+1+1+1….–【Why didn’t you think history teachers were so interesting before?】 I understand, because in the past, the class was purely to be able to get a high score, but Fang Yang is different here, he has no purpose, so he is very willing to accept it naturally, to listen, once listened, it will feel very evocative. 】
–[Even if it is brought to the coffin, it has not been well preserved for so many years, and it is estimated that it will decay. It’s a pity that the Yongle Grand Ceremony is really gone. I only hate those fools of the Qing Dynasty who ruined the Yongle Grand Ceremony for personal gain, these people are all sinners in Huaxia! 】
–[Just like the Great Wall, how many people died when it was built, but it became one of the landmarks of China.] In the modern era, the merit is in the future! If the Yongle Grand Ceremony at that time could stay, I feel that Huaxia would not have a hundred years of dark ages, and it has never been so dense since ancient times! 】
–[Strongly request that what Fang Yang said today be added to the history textbook, we need Huo Qubing’s belief in the god of war, we also need the passage of the Silk Road, and we need the spirit of the Yongle Classic, just like Fang Yang said, Zhu Di may not be a good person, but he is indeed a good emperor, and the treasure left for future generations was unfortunately destroyed by a bunch of pigs! ] 543】
Fang Yang also felt very sorry when he said this, but the story was not finished, he could only continue: “The original version disappeared here, but the copy re-recorded by the Jiajing Emperor is also ill-fated!” ”
“During the Qianlong period, in order to repair the Siku Quanshu, he took out a copy of the Yongle Classic. But as a result, after repairing the Siku Quanshu, he directly threw the Yongle Canon to the Hanlin Academy, and he had already lost more than 2,000 copies after repairing it at that time. ”
“You know, before this, only the royal family can read the Yongle Ceremony, this is good, all the ministers can read it, each of them brings a dress or something before going to read, and when they come out, they can pack a random book, and no one will see it!”
“Do you know why you did that? Because foreigners 10 taels one book acquisition! It’s funny to think about! ”
“In the Guangxu period, when it was counted again, there were less than 5,000 volumes, which was 6,000 less!”
“And during Qianlong’s reign, he also allowed the minister to tear up the Yongle Grand Pawn as a reward!” It can be said that the loss of the Yongle Grand Ceremony has a great relationship with the Qing Dynasty! ”
At this time, everyone was resentful, in this era of the Qing Dynasty, except for Yongzheng, no one was a good emperor. Not to mention ruining the entire Huaxia, but also ruining such a valuable thing.
Many even scolded on the spot.
Fang Yang shook his head helplessly: “It’s not finished, by the nineteenth year of Guangxu, there were only 800 copies left, and in the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu, the eight-nation coalition army invaded, and the Yongle Grand Canon was used by those robbers as bricks to build fortifications or as firewood!” ”
“Later, the British Embassy returned another 330 copies, and as a result, the Hanlin Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy fled and was divided among the employees, and in the end, there were only 64 copies left officially!”
“And these in my hands were divided among the Five Classics doctors of the Hanlin Academy back then! I don’t even know whether to thank or hate them! ”
“But one point, according to the current official statistics, only 540 books are clearly permanently damaged, and the whereabouts of the remaining more than 10,000 books are not clear, maybe in Mo Day, they will gradually appear in front of everyone!”
“If you want to see the content of the Yongle Classic, Kyoto University and ByteDance are currently jointly participating in the digital organization and online development of the Yongle Classic, you can watch the content of the Yongle Classic through the ancient book platform and appreciate the style of the world’s first encyclopedia!”
As Fang Yang’s voice ended, everyone did not come to their senses for a long time.
On the one hand, he felt resentment and regret for the loss of the Yongle Festival. On the one hand, there are still so many losses outside for the Yongle Festival, but they have never appeared.
Combined with what Fang Yang said before, many foreigners bought it in eleven copies. Could it be that part of the reason for the development of foreign countries is the Yongle Festival?
Although this is unlikely, it is conceivable that there are definitely many Yongle festivals that have been lost overseas.
Even Director Chen couldn’t help but sigh: “Fang Yang, you can be regarded as giving me a vivid history lesson today, and I now understand why to protect cultural relics, once some inheritances are lost, they can no longer be found!” ”
