Chapter 105: Taking Medicine or Picking Up Leaks (Part II)

"Fang Yi, Elder Yu said it was fake, don't talk about it, you kid......"

Man Jun secretly complained in his heart, and pulled Fang Yi hard in the back, he was miserable by Fang Yi today, not to mention that he spent unjustly money to buy worthless things, and now he has offended Yu Xuan, the great god in the industry, I am afraid that this matter will be spread all over when they leave the hotel gate.

"Brother Man, as the saying goes, 'Reason is not clear, things are not clear', let's discuss now, and Yu Lao won't blame you......"

For the doubts around him, Fang Yi didn't seem to hear it at all, but turned his gaze to Yu Xuan, and said: "Old Yu, I have read some Taoist scriptures in the Tang Dynasty, and the paper in them is yellowed, which is very similar to this "Yongle Canon", I still want to ask you to take a look at it again......"

"The Taoist scriptures of the Tang Dynasty, young man, what you said is a bit big......"

"That's right, there are very few written classics left in the Song Dynasty, let alone those of the Tang Dynasty......"

"How can the paper of the Tang Dynasty be the same as that of the Ming Dynasty? This young man doesn't know how to collect ...... at first glance."

As soon as Fang Yi's words fell, the noise and accusations around him suddenly became louder, and even the Man Jun showed an unhappy look on his face, Fang Yi's words were all layman's words, and those who didn't know thought that he had taught Fang Yi by the Manchu Army.

"It's really from the Tang Dynasty, I'm just talking about similarity, but I don't say the same......"

Fang Yi was speechless at everyone's accusations, his master really had a few Taoist scriptures of the Tang Dynasty in his hands, but before the old Taoist priest died, he asked Fang Yi to put those scriptures into the coffin and bury them for himself.

"Tang Dynasty respected the Tao, the Taoist scriptures that will be left behind are very precious......"

After hearing Fang Yi's words, Yu Xuan was obviously stunned for a moment, most of the most well-preserved rare books are Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures, but they are very rare among the people, and they are generally preserved in the major temples and Taoist temples in China.

"Didn't the Tang Dynasty respect the Buddha? Tang Xuanzang or something, weren't they all from the Tang Dynasty?" At this moment, a faint voice sounded in the crowd.

"Hehe, Tang Xuanzang is from the Tang Dynasty, did the Tang Dynasty respect the Buddha?" heard that voice. Fang Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "From Tang Gaozu Li Yuan to the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, except for Wu Zetian, Buddhism was not suppressed when he was in power, and the others were all respected by Taoism......"

When it comes to literary toys and antiques, Fang Yi may not be as good as these people. But when it comes to the history of Taoism, Fang Yi knows everything about it, and if he talks about Taoism and preaching, then these people together are not as good as him.

"Really, is it fake?" Seeing that Fang Yi said so firmly, the person who questioned it just now asked.

"Fang Yi is right, the Tang Dynasty does respect Taoism......"

Yu Xuan glanced at the man. said: "You go back and check it out, the Tang Dynasty is the era of the integration of Confucianism, Taoism and interpretation, roughly it can be said that the emperor likes Taoism, rules with Confucianism, and the people are good Buddhas, but the prosperity of Taoism is undoubtedly ......"

"Okay, what Fang Yi said is right, I'll take a look......"

Yu Xuan also felt that his attitude towards the appraisal just now was a little sloppy, and it stands to reason that after the appraisal of the cover page, he would continue to appraise the content inside. But I haven't seen it yet, and I have made up my mind.

"You kid, why do you have a tendon?" Man Jun glanced at Fang Yi with a smile, he was already embarrassed today, but he didn't expect Fang Yi to give up, it seemed that his old face was going to be thrown here.

"Huh?"

When he picked up the "Yongle Canon" and read the first three pages, Yu Xuan's face still had no expression, but when he saw the fourth page, his eyes suddenly changed, and he picked up the magnifying glass that was originally placed on the table.

"This ...... This, how...... How is that possible......"

Yu Xuan muttered quietly. The eyes were almost attached to the magnifying glass, and his face became unusually stern, almost looking at the words on the page in order, word by word.

"What's going on?"

"Is it true, how is this possible?"

Seeing the sudden change in Yu Lao's attitude. The people who were watching were a little dumbfounded, especially when they saw Yu Lao's lips squirming and his complexion gradually changed from strict to excited, everyone had a question in their hearts, could it be that this volume of "Yongle Canon" was real?

The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became tense, and everyone held their breath, for fear that they would affect Yu Xuan's judgment because of their own noise.

"Really. Be...... Really!"

After more than half an hour, Yu Xuan flipped through more than a dozen pages, and finally raised his head, and said in a trembling voice: "This ...... This is the Ming version of the "Yongle Canon", and ...... And in my judgment, it ...... It is very likely that it is a volume from Zhu Di's original edition......"

"What? is it true?"

"It's the original, how is this possible? I heard that there is only one book left in the world?"

"That's right, the reprint can't be seen on the market now, where will the original appear?"

As soon as Yu Xuan's voice fell, the dozen or so mouths in the venue immediately made a sound at the same time, making a noise in the high-end hotel, which also attracted the attention of some guests who came to eat.

"Brother Man, are there very few original versions of the Yongle Canon?" Hearing everyone's words, Fang Yi pulled the Man Jun who was in a stupor, from the time Yu Lao spoke just now, he was already dumbfounded, standing there wandering out of the world.

"It's not very few, it's almost extinct......"

According to the records in the historical data, the original copy of the "Yongle Canon" disappeared after the death of Emperor Jiajing, and it is said that Jiajing brought the original of the "Yongle Canon" into the Yongling.

And the Yongle period revised the "Yongle Canon" of the original book only one, the current surviving are all the Jiajing period of the manuscript, also known as the copy by later generations, but the Yongle copy was tragically catastrophic, not only encountered the palace fire, but also many destroyed in the war, today less than 800 volumes.

Last year, the relevant scientific research department used modern remote sensing detection technology for the Yongling tomb where Jiajing was buried, and it was found that all the water inside the tomb had been confirmed, so the original book of the "Yongle Canon" could no longer be seen by future generations.

Because of the above reasons, needless to say, the original of the "Yongle Canon", which is a copy of the Jiajing period, has never been circulated among the people, so as long as Yu Xuan can prove that this is indeed the original of the "Yongle Canon", it will shock the entire scientific research community.

"Quiet, calm down, let's listen to what Elder Yu says......" A voice suppressed the noise in the venue.

"Old Yu, the original of the "Yongle Canon" has long been gone, this one can't be the original, right?" Even if Yu Xuan is such a well-known expert in the domestic appraisal industry, he has been questioned at this moment.

"The possibility of the original is extremely ......"

Yu Xuan's feelings at this time were also a little excited, and he said: "Some friends may not know that the original copy of the "Yongle Canon" is completely hand-copied, and it concentrates many well-known calligraphers in the Yongle period, and the calligraphy of this cloth book happens to be written by a person I know......"

Yu Xuan said these things, many people present know that the "Yongle Canon" has a total of more than 370 million words, all of which were copied by the calligraphers in the regular script and pavilion style used by the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

These more than 300 million words should have been copied at least once when compiling, more than 2,000 people took five years to copy the tape, and it took less than two years to complete the copying after the finalization, and the average daily copy of 500,000 words was as much as 500,000 words, and many of the calligraphers who copied were famous calligraphers from all over the world.

"The calligraphy used in the writing of this "Yongle Canon" is the most typical Taige style, and if I am not mistaken, it should be written by Shen Du, the founder of this style of Taige style, and there are photocopied works of Shen Du in the "Catalogue of Ancient Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy......"

Yu Xuan is not only a miscellaneous expert, but also has a lot of knowledge of ancient calligraphers and painters, and Shen Du is one of the two leading calligraphers in the early Ming Dynasty, and calligraphy has been circulated, so Yu Xuan is also very familiar with it.

"This ...... Is this old man taking medicine or has he missed it?"

Hearing Yu Xuan's preliminary appraisal of this volume of "Yongle Canon", such a thought couldn't help but pop up in the minds of everyone in the venue, and as for Xie Qingyang, his mouth opened wide in surprise-
