Pouring a cup of hot tea, the beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings under Bai Manshu's table were exchanged and overlapped with each other, and a page was turned in his hands.

"The authenticity of the content of the Classic of Mountains and Seas will not be discussed for the time being, we do not know the truth behind it, we can assume that it is false, or it can be assumed to be true, now assume that the Classic of Mountains and Seas is true, and then study. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Mo nodded.

Taking a sip of tea, Bai Manshu said: "Do you know that the Classic of Mountains and Seas has been passed down to several versions, and the current version has been the result of countless abridgements. ”

"Han, Sui, and Tang have all sorted out and edited it. Jiang Mo said.

"The earliest mountains and seas are all-encompassing, astronomical geography, history and folklore, all-encompassing, it is mainly mapped, with a few words, it has become a pure text version so far, with pictures but very few, among which the change has to mention a person, Liu Xin at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. ”

Jiang Mo's expression perked up, "Oh, I happen to know this guy, after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Liu Xin changed his name to Liu Xiu, Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, and it didn't take long for Wang Mang to decisively kill him, he is very thoughtful, it seems that he calculated the data very close to pi at that time, and he is worthy of being a literary scholar and astronomical calendarist, in short, he has achieved a lot." ”

Bowing his head slightly, he signaled that Jiang Mo was right, and Bai Manshu continued: "During the peace period, the emperor ordered Liu Xin and his father to sort out the imperial collection, including the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Maybe you don't know what it means to sort out the royal collection this time, but it can be said that he has made a great contribution to the cultural inheritance of China, and it is a great achievement that Liu Xin cannot erase in his life. ”

With a slight sigh of relief, she continued: "At that time, the cultural inheritance was very inconvenient, Xiang Yu broke Qin, and burned the Xianyang Palace, the books at that time burned a lot, and there was a fire that burned a second time during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, so the emperor remembered that these books should be protected, so he ordered someone to sort them out, but the bamboo tubes were littered, and many of them were burned to the point that only a few words remained, and it often took several years to sort out a set, and the efficiency was very slow, until Liu Xin and his son took over the matter. ”

Jiang Mo: "They did it." ”

"Well, although Liu Xin later intended to usurp the throne, so that the late festival was not guaranteed, but this matter is still very powerful, it took more than 20 years, and the bamboo tubes of more than ten palaces were sorted out by them and installed in one palace. ”

Bai Manshu's words mean something.

After all, the information of more than a dozen palaces is sorted into one palace, and it is too obvious that the memory has been cleared so much.

also said that Liu Xin intended to usurp the throne, which refers to Liu Xin's character defects.

Indeed, anyone who understands this period of history has endless grooves about Liu Xin's change of name to Liu Xiu.

Jiang Mo, who understood the meaning, went down and asked, "Was it deleted by Liu Xin?"

"Maybe some things really can't be put together, when deleting it, I also made annotations on how much I deleted and why, Liu Xin's "Classic of Mountains and Seas" said that there are 32 articles of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and now it is set at 18 articles. ”

So, there are fourteen more articles that are nowhere to be found.

Jiang Mo knew that the specific length of the Classic of Mountains and Seas was indeed doubtful, and there were different opinions.

"What is the reason for deleting the 14 Classics of Mountains and Seas? We can look at the reasons for the abridgement of Liu Xin and Liu Xiang's father and son, and summarize that there are roughly three things: first, if they are repetitive, they will be deleted; second, if they think they are forgeries, they will be deleted; and third, they will be deleted because they do not conform to the ideological policy of contemporary Confucianism. The third point can be inferred from "Xunzi". ”

This third point can be called the ancient 404.

Speaking of being abridged, "Xunzi" is called a miserable, and the 322 articles were deleted into 32 articles.

Nine tenths of the way was deleted.

What is Xunzi's thought: Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death.

That is, no matter whether it rains, snows or hails all day, it has nothing to do with whether the reigning emperor of the dynasty is a good emperor or not.

What is the contemporary ideology of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism!

Confucian boss Dong Zhongshu and his old man's induction of heaven and man is in full swing, what does it mean to be inducted by heaven and man, that is, natural disasters and man-made disasters or something, it is your emperor who is guilty, and his virtue is not good, and God has sensed it, so God has given you a punishment.

In short, it is to throw all the pots on the emperor's head.

Xunzi and Dong Zhongshu's two ideological concepts can be said to be completely contradictory.

So, if you don't delete your Xunzi, if it weren't for your famous quote being too famous, you would have deleted it cleanly.

"Was the Classic of Mountains and Seas also deleted because of the third point?" Jiang Mo could hear Bai Manshu's subtext.

"The famous historian Sima Qian once said: "Yu Benji" and "Classic of Mountains and Seas" I dare not speak. It's just a book about strange forces and chaos, what is the original content that Sima Qian mentioned it after reading it, but he didn't dare to say it clearly?"

Bai Manshu answered with questions, but the meaning was already expressed.

Following Bai Manshu's question, Jiang Mo speculated.

Obviously, there is content in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that violates the general environment of the Western Han Dynasty, so a serious guy like Sima Qian chose to shut up and keep safe after experiencing complicated thinking.

It is self-evident what the content of this part of the Classic of Mountains and Seas cannot be disclosed.

After all, Sima Qian is still an honest man, but he also took out Yu Benji and put it together with the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and he has already made it clear to everyone that the content of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is the content of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors.

Another kind of historical truth is the three emperors and five emperors who are completely different.

Jiang Mo couldn't help but think of a book.

Compiled in the Spring and Autumn Period, a "Bamboo Book Chronicle", but it clearly overturned the Guangzheng image of the first virtuous minister Yi Yin in the historical records, revealing his other faces, of course, it still needs to be verified, after all, it has been reorganized in the Song Dynasty and reduced its credibility.

The Bamboo Book Chronicle is the only surviving chronicle of ancient China that did not have Qin fire. Its content is extremely offensive and ridiculed the world of Confucian fantasy.

Shun kills Yao, Yu kills Shun, and Qi kills Yi. Yi Yin killed Shang King Taijia.

It can be said that it is very ruined.

Let the beautiful Confucius of the Holy Monarch Dynasty know that the corpse is deceived every minute, and no one can hold down the coffin board.

The foundation of Confucianism is smashed in minutes.

Of course, due to the long history, the difficulty of character recognition, the recompilation of the Song Dynasty and other reasons, this bamboo book is not a small controversy.

In the Tang Dynasty, where the atmosphere was open, the poet Li Bai wrote "Far Farewell", the second half of which ...... Or clouds, Yao You's prisoner, Shun Ye's death, the nine suspicions are all similar, and the heavy pupil is a lonely grave. The emperor wept among the green clouds, and went with the wind and waves. Weeping and looking into the distance, I saw the deep mountains. Cangwu Mountain collapses and the water is extinct, and the tears on the bamboo can be extinguished. ”

Bai Manshu ended with a poem and tasted it with a teacup.

She's done with what she's going to say.

"Interesting. ”

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Mo smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps, in addition to expressing his feelings against his sister and Liu Chitose, the fun it can bring is enough for him to work hard to protect it.

The truth of Yao Shunyu, Jiang Mo actually didn't care.

Whether it is harmonious Zen concession or dark power schemes, they are all in the past.

But it's really interesting to dig into the different truths.

Very happy.

There are some loopholes in the above view, so your speculation is also problematic. ”

"Oh?"

"Your speculation starts from the fact that the Classic of Mountains and Seas has been abridged, and then starts from the reasons for the abridgement, and finally proves another truth about the Three Emperors and Five Emperors from the circumstantial, but what if the Classic of Mountains and Seas has not actually been abridged?"

"How so?"

Putting down the teacup, Bai Manshu's dark eyes looked at Jiang Mo.

Jiang Mo groaned slightly, and organized the language, "The third reason for Liu Xin's father and son's deletion of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is the method of speculation of human feelings, that is to say, it is based on Liu Xin, he is not a good person, and he has no bones, so he used his ass to decide his head, and deleted the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but this is just your speculation, Liu Xin in his later years did have a problem with his brain, but Liu Xin in the early days could not make this conclusion. ”

Jiang Mo took out his mobile phone and searched it casually, "Oh, fortunately, I still remember the name, otherwise I wouldn't be able to memorize the content now, you see." ”

"The Three Dynasties of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Three Kingdoms and the Six Dynasties"

"Sun Qing Shulu": Guanglu Dafu Xiangyan, the water envoy of the left capital, said that there are 322 articles in the "Sun Qing Book" in the school, and 32 articles are set in addition to the 290 articles of the compound weight

Jiang Mo said: "Although it is a bit exaggerated to make Xunzi's 322 articles into 32 articles, but people clearly say that this is deduplication, you can't say that people have poor character and selfish intentions without evidence, and these things." ”

"Yanzi Narrative": Before the revision, there were 30 articles and 838 chapters, and finally it was set at 8 articles and 215 chapters.

"Narrative" is also cloudy: "Yan Zi covers a short cover, and his book has six chapters...... There are also repetition of the text is quite different, dare not lose it, relist it as an article, and there is quite unsuitable for the scriptures, it seems that it is not Yan Ziyan, and those who doubt the actions of later generations of debaters, so they do not dare to lose it, and they think it is an article. ”

"Guanzi Shulu": Before the revision, there were 564 articles, and finally 86 articles.

"From these, it is not difficult to conclude that the so-called pre-revision is just all the relevant materials collected, as if you want to use lipstick, I will give you all the lipsticks, but you only need one lipstick. Therefore, it cannot be said that it is abridged and deleted, but simply remove the repetitive parts and forgeries, after all, you also said that the original library is too messy, and there are more than ten palaces that have not been organized, and it is normal to repeat a lot, isn't it?"

Deny the abridged third reason made up, and the rest will be self-defeating.

Whether it is Sima Qian's remarks, or a poem by Li Bai, or the Bamboo Book Chronicle, in the final analysis, it cannot be direct evidence.

Anyway, Sima Qian didn't say it directly, so we can treat it as if it didn't exist, after all, it's just speculation; Li Bai didn't write a poem to become a historical material; the Bamboo Book Chronicle is not very easy to do, but it is still controversial in itself.

"Yes, it can't stand scrutiny, okay, we have a chance to talk about the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and there are many interesting stories in it. ”

Shaking his head, Bai Manshu had no intention of continuing to argue, pointed behind Jiang Mo, and said, "The minister is here, if you have something, you can do it." ”

Following Bai Manshu's point, I saw Minister Liu Qianxue, who was dyed with gorgeous blonde hair, leaning behind the door with a smile and watching.

She beckoned and turned to leave the department.

Jiang Mo stood up and followed.

After Jiang Mo left, the two Lori, who were dizzy after listening to Tianshu for a while, came to their senses and sulked a little.

The white cat's ears puffed out his cheeks, "Why does Sister Manshu talk so much to him, hum!"

Yan Xi with black cat ears crossed her waist, "Obviously it's just a negative man who abandoned us, hum!"

"Don't make such a misleading statement. Bai Manshu couldn't help but smile bitterly, his sad eyes looked around the things around him, with reluctance and amazement, "I just want to leave something for the Monster Research Department, maybe one day, someone remembers that there is a very interesting Zhiwei Research Department here." ”
