Mr. Han was stunned for a long time before he asked, "Then will you still recite other poems of Zhang Yuzhao?"

"No!" Since Jiang Shuiyuan had already won, he naturally would not be stingy with the generosity of the victor and cover up such trivial issues.

When the old man watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before, it mentioned that after Zhang Song read the thirteen chapters of "Mengde's New Book" in front of Yang Xiu, he could recite it from beginning to end, without a single word difference. At first, I thought it was a nihilistic novelist's words, but now when I see the children borrowing a few minutes to escape, they memorize hundreds of words of articles, and I understand that the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!"

Jiang Shuiyuan rolled his eyes and said: "Mr. Han, don't talk nonsense, although 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' has the evaluation of 'seven realities and three falsehoods', but the novel is a novel, how can it be compared with people in reality? I'm less than five feet short, does the old gentleman think I look like him?"

Aunt Xu and Miss Xiao Li both laughed.

Mr. Han also smiled and said: "In any case, the old man is willing to gamble and lose! While there is still some time in the morning, I will rely on the old man and sell the old to discuss with this talented and intelligent child how to read and read through this set of "Summary of the Four Libraries of the Whole Book." ”

Aunt Xu hurriedly said: "Since Mr. Han has this Yaxing, why don't you move to the upstairs office, let me add tea and pour water for you to apologize, and listen to your high arguments by the way, I don't know if it's okay?"

Mr. Han stroked his stomach and smiled: "Then bother!"

Upstairs is Aunt Xu's office, the house is very plain and elegant, without any fancy decoration, when the wall of the door is a sandalwood bookshelf, there are all kinds of ancient books thick and thin, but no matter the thickness is made of golden silk nanmu into a letter sleeve, the outside is marked with hairpin flower small block to indicate the title of the book, the number of volumes, editions, etc., obviously each volume has a great origin, the master takes good care of them;

After Aunt Xu made tea and the three of them formally sat down in the house, Mr. Han said slowly: "How to say it, the book "Summary of the Four Libraries" is rare now, and few people mention it, and even if someone mentions it, few people will read it carefully and carefully and carefully figure out the subtle meaning. In order to thoroughly understand and read this set of "Outline of the Four Libraries" and understand its true value, it is necessary to clearly understand four basic issues: First, the historical background of the time in which this book was written, second, who wrote and compiled it, third, what exactly is the content of this book, and fourth, what is the purpose of writing this book.

"Let's start with the first question, the historical background of the time in which this book was written. As we all know, in November of the 37th year of Qianlong (1772), Zhu Yun, a scholar in Anhui, put forward the issue of compiling the "Yongle Canon", which was approved by the Qianlong Emperor. In the process of compiling the "Siku Quanshu", each completed book will be reviewed in detail by the Siku librarian on the author's resume, content, advantages and disadvantages, text additions and deletions, and article divisions, and then placed at the top of the book after several rounds of revisions. Since the 38th year of Qianlong (1773), the first draft was completed in the 46th year of Qianlong, and after revision and supplementation, all the book summaries were officially finalized and summarized in the 54th year of Qianlong, and engraved by Wuyingdian, which took nearly 20 years before and after.

"Due to the destruction of a large number of books that are not conducive to the notice of the Qing Dynasty during the compilation of the "Siku Quanshu", the total number of which reached more than 3,000 kinds, more than 670,000 volumes, the number of kinds is roughly the same as the books received by the Siku, and many ancient books included in the Siku have been tampered with, so the compilation of the "Siku Quanshu" can be described as a mixed pros and cons, and the biggest advantage is this "Siku Quanshu General Summary". The Qianlong period of the former Qing Dynasty was the last peak of the development of traditional China's economy and politics, and it was also a peak in Chinese studies, including classics, primary schools, history, poetry, and so on.

My personal opinion is that before the European wind and rain invaded China, the general way of life of the Chinese, of course, this life includes both material life and spiritual life, and almost all of these things are recorded in the books of the time. And on the eve of the invasion of Chinese civilization by the supreme ruler who brought together the best scholars in the country to sort out the books of all time, and carefully wrote and revised the results and compiled them, do you think it will be an ordinary bibliography work?"

Jiang Shuiyuan suddenly felt that his eyes were opened.

After taking a sip of tea, Mr. Han continued: "The second question is who wrote and compiled this book. Generally, publishing houses will be labeled as 'Yongying, Ji Yun Editor-in-Chief' in accordance with the practice of the former Qing Dynasty, who is Yongying? He is the sixth son of Emperor Qianlong, the prince of Dorozhi, and the president of the Quanshuguan of Chongsiku. Ji Yun, who is really a worker, is counted as one, and also includes Lu Feiqi, Dai Zhen, Shao Jinhan, Weng Fanggang, Wang Niansun, Yao Nai, Zhou Yongnian, Fa Shishan and other famous academic masters. Therefore, Jiang Fan praised in the "Records of the Inheritance of Sinologists in the National Dynasty": "The great and classic history subset, as well as the medical divination lyrics and songs, etc., are above Wang Zhongbao (that is, Wang Jian, a Qi writer and bibliographer of the Southern Dynasty) and Ruan Xiaoxu (a Liang bibliographer of the Southern Dynasty). ’

"Third Question ,......"

With Mr. Han's description, Jiang Shuiyuan suddenly felt a vivid picture slowly unfolding in front of him, and the history and scholarship that he originally thought were boring and boring were so wonderful, they were no longer monotonous eras, events, nouns, and meanings in textbooks, nor were they boring tools for prolonging life, but a new kind of fun, a kind of adventure-filled exploration, and a different way of life, and you never knew what kind of problems you would encounter at the next moment: the emperor's son took the lead in carrying out cultural projects under the name of Dai Zhen, Who is Shao Jinhan, who are Weng Fanggang and Wang Niansun, and who are Wang Zhongbao and Ruan Xiaoxu? What kind of book is "The Inheritance of Sinology Teachers in the National Dynasty"?

Therefore, judging from its rich content, the "Summary of the General Catalogue of the Four Libraries" is not only a bibliography work that has reached the pinnacle, but also an academic history of the three or four thousand years before the Qianjia Dynasty, which covers the life of scholars, edition knowledge, disciplines, the advantages and disadvantages of each school, and the methods of study, and many other aspects, which are worthy of careful consideration by later scholars. In the end, Mr. Han concluded, and then took out his pocket watch to look at the time: "Ah, the ancients couldn't stop writing by themselves, I didn't know how to stop when I opened my mouth, and I didn't know how to stop it, and I actually passed nearly two hours at once, delaying the precious time of the two of you, so I am sorry to let you listen to my old man talking nonsense here!"

Jiang Shuiyuan felt that he was just talking for a while, and he didn't expect that two hours had passed.

Aunt Xu and Jiang Shuiyuan are still unsatisfied: "Every time I listen to Mr. Han's lecture, I feel that I am not bad, at least I know a lot more than ordinary people, but after listening to the class, I found that I am so shallow, not only do I know a lot of things, but even if I know things, I am still a glimpse, not as light and easy as Mr. Han, and I can stand out on my own." It's really high, drilling, looking ahead, suddenly behind, breathtaking!"

Old Mr. Han laughed: "Xiao Xu, don't you know that the old man's blood is declining, and he has to quit it? and give me a high hat and ecstasy soup?

"I'll invite the two of you to dinner later, and I promise to send you back after eating!" Aunt Xu was unequivocal, and she was about to get up and greet you immediately.

Mr. Han waved his hand: "Xiao Xu, you girl is really, haven't you heard the proverb 'don't stay overnight at seventy, don't stay at eighty, don't stay at ninety'? I'm an old man in my eighties, even if you dare to keep me to eat, I don't dare to stay and eat! Don't be busy! Old man, I'll 'eat dinner as meat, walk in peace as a car', walk back slowly and eat later, even if you take the car and eat meat!"

Jiang Shuiyuan always thought that he was sixty or seventy years old, but he didn't expect that he was actually in his early eighties, and immediately respectfully sent the entire set of "Summary of the Four Libraries of the Whole Book" to Mr. Han: "I didn't know that Mr. was so old just now, and his words and actions were offensive, so please forgive me a lot! I still ask you to read this set of "Summary of the Four Libraries of the Whole Book" first, and I will wait until I finish reading these introductory books before borrowing them from you!"

Mr. Han glared: "Little friend, do you think that I, Han Xianru, am a person who broke his promise and gained weight? Although the old man has a little fat on his body, it is definitely not caused by breaking his promise. Anyway, this set of books is not for me to read, but to help the younger generations, anyway, it has taken a lot of time before and after, and now I am not in a hurry. The so-called light of mulberry elm has no far-reaching, I just hope that the children can be bright with the sun!" said Han Xianru and pushed the book back in front of Jiang Shuiyuan.

Jiang Shuiyuan got up and bowed deeply to Mr. Han to show his gratitude.

"Children, please wait a minute!" Aunt Xu called Jiang Shuiyuan, then hurriedly got up and went to another room to check for a while, and then came back and handed him a few old books: "Since Auntie is lucky enough to hear Mr. Han's high arguments in your light, I can't take advantage of you in vain, and now Auntie will give you three small books in return, one is Mr. Zhang Taiyan's "Introduction to Chinese Studies" Mr. Zhang Taiyan is a disciple of Yu Quyuan (Yu Yue), known as the Qing Dynasty Pu Xuedian Army, is the most prestigious scholar and master of Chinese culture in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, this booklet is a transcript of his lecture on Chinese culture at Jingshi University in the twenties and thirties, compiled into a book by Mr. Cao Jiren, a professor at Jingshi University and a famous scholar. The book incisively discusses the connotation of Chinese culture and the methods of studying and governing Chinese culture, systematically introduces the flow of traditional classics, Zhuzi studies, and literature, and the characteristics of academic development in various periods, representative figures, and works, all of which have superb and unique evaluations, which can be called the best reading material for the introduction of Chinese studies.

The other is Liang Rengong (Liang Qichao)'s representative work "Introduction to Qing Dynasty Scholarship", which is a classic work that expounds the source of Qing Dynasty academic thought and its changes. The book divides Qing Dynasty scholarship into four periods from the perspective of the ideological trend of the times, and makes a brief and pertinent commentary on each period, incisively analyzing the achievements and shortcomings of each period and its representatives, so that you can quickly grasp the context of Qing Dynasty scholarship and the detailed background of the "Summary of the Four Libraries".

"There is also a book that Mr. Han mentioned just now, the former Qingjiang Domain's "The Inheritance of Sinology in the National Dynasty". I hope that the children can study hard, be smart and work hard, make some academic achievements, and live up to Mr. Han's high expectations!"

Jiang Shuiyuan bowed deeply to Aunt Xu again.
