"Shen Du is a person in the Yongle period, and the reason why he was able to be called into the Hanlin Academy by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and served as a bachelor, is because of his good handwriting, so here I can conclude that Shen Du must have participated in the compilation and copying of the "Yongle Canon" ......"

Yu Xuan's thinking is very clear, so clear that as long as he can confirm that the calligraphy on this "Yongle Canon" is really written by Shen Du, then this "Yongle Canon" will become the first Yongle Year version to appear in the world in hundreds of years.

"Yu Lao, could it be that later generations imitated Shen Du's handwriting to write? In other words, there are many calligraphers who are good at imitating in later generations......" This time it was Xie Qingyang who spoke, and in order to prove that this was a later manuscript, Xie Qingyang even began to question Yu Xuan.

After hearing Xie Qingyang's words, Yu Xuan shook his head and said: "It won't be copied by later generations, what I just said is calligraphy itself, and now I will tell you about the characteristics of this "Yongle Canon......

Yu Xuan put his nose on the page, took a deep breath, and said with some intoxication: "Most of the leaves of the "Yongle Canon" are made of snow-white, thick bark paper, and the book emits a faint bookish fragrance, which is very exquisite and beautiful......

Hearing Yu Xuan's words, several people around him immediately took a step forward, but they all knew the rules, and none of them stretched out their hands, but put their noses very close to the pages of the book, and took a deep breath like Yu Lao just now.

"That's right, it's the smell of bark paper......"

"Well, this smell can still be left after hundreds of years, which shows that the requirements for materials at that time were very high......"

After smelling the smell of that book, everyone who has heard it has begun to lean towards Yu Lao's argument, and now in their eyes, this volume of "Yongle Canon" is very likely to be the only one left in the world.

"Elder Yu, as far as I know, the book jacket and cover of the Yongle Canon are not like this, right?"

Hearing that someone had already changed his tune, Xie Qingyang refused to give up. Since he had also sold some printed editions of the "Yongle Canon" before, Xie Qingyang still put a lot of effort into it.

The book jacket of an ancient book is the cover of a modern book, because it is wrapped around the outside of the book like a human garment, so it has the name of the image of "book clothes".

The book jacket of the Yongle Canon is hard-mounted with multiple layers of rice paper. There is a layer of yellow silk on the outermost part of the brain, which looks particularly solemn, which is very similar to the binding form of modern books called "bag back binding", which is the way of book binding in the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty.

Questioning from this point shows that Xie Qingyang still knows the "Yongle Canon" very well. Although the "Yongle Canon" copied by later generations is also difficult to refine, the book in the hands of Yu Lao obviously does not meet the requirements mentioned in the record.

"I'm going to take another look......" Yu Xuan didn't refute Xie Qingyang's words, because this was also something he couldn't figure out.

Yu Xuan knew that the book clothes of the "Yongle Canon" were hard framed with multiple layers of rice paper, and there was a layer of yellow silk wrapped in the brain on the outermost part, which was particularly solemn, which was very similar to the binding form of modern books called "bag back binding", which was the common way of book binding in the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty.

However, the book clothes of this volume of "Yongle Canon" are thicker, and the color of the book clothes is slightly different from the "Yongle Canon" in the record. This is also the reason why many people did not continue to pay attention after a glance before.

"Understood, I understood......" After reading the "Yongle Canon" for a while, Yu Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help shouting loudly.

"Elder Yu, what do you understand?"

"Could it be that you have found a flaw?"

"I think this is a manuscript from later generations, and Yu Lao is afraid that he will lose his eyes......"

Hearing Yu Xuan's shout, everyone in the audience reacted differently, but most people didn't believe that this would be the Yongle version of the "Yongle Grand Canon", perhaps deep in their hearts, they didn't want to be picked up by the Manchu army for such a big leak.

"This book is absolutely genuine. And it is very likely to be a rare book of the Yongle version......"

Yu Xuan's gaze swept over everyone, and he said: "I can conclude that the reason why this cover book clothes are wrong is because it is based on the original book clothes of later generations. Another layer of paste, which is what we often talk about as picture-in-picture......"

Yu Xuan's picture-in-picture is often mentioned in antique collections, and some big collectors in the past would often re-paste some famous paintings in order to preserve their collection of paintings in the war-torn era, and then draw another painting on the surface. This is used to disguise the authenticity.

And the same is true of the "Yongle Canon" in Yu Xuan's hand, the remodeled pages make many people have no intention of continuing to identify them when they see it, so they also keep it intact.

"Old Yu, can you remove the layer of paste?" someone in the crowd shouted: "Let's also see the original and authentic work of the Yongle Canon!"

Most of these people present are local antique dealers and collectors in Jinling, because the earliest compilation of the "Yongle Canon" was in Jinling, so they have an unusual feeling for this historical masterpiece, that is, the pride of being Jinling people.

"Yes, for sure, but I don't have the tools at hand now, and besides, it's not mine, you have to ask Xiaoman......"

Yu Xuan's eyes looked at Man Jun and said, "If Xiao Man agrees, then I will find a way to remove this outermost layer of paste, so that this "Yongle Canon" can see ......the light of day again."

When Yu Xuan spoke, he was also a little excited, after all, the Yongle version of the "Yongle Canon" has never appeared in the world, if it can be verified that this "Yongle Canon" is indeed that version, in the domestic cultural relics and archaeology community, it is definitely an extremely heavy discovery.

"Xiao Man, what do you mean?" Yu Xuan saw Manjun standing there without speaking, and thought that he was not happy, if Manchu Jun did not agree, then Yu Xuan would definitely not be able to do anything about this "Yongle Canon".

"Brother Man, how can Elder Yu talk to you......" Fang Yi touched the Man army with his elbow.

"Ah, Old Yu, what are you talking about?" The Manchu army outside the world shook his head and looked at Yu Xuan.

"I said, do you need me to remove the surface of the cover of this Yongle Canon?" Yu Xuan repeated what he had just said.

"This ......" Man Jun hesitated a little when he heard this, and thought for more than ten seconds before he spoke: "Old Yu, what ...... That wouldn't have hurt the original, would it?"

If it is a manuscript of later generations that he thought before, let alone surgery on it, even if it is given to Yu Xuan, the Manchu army will not blink his eyes, but now Yu Xuan has identified it as the Ming Dynasty version of the "Yongle Canon", and it is very likely to be the version of the first part, and the Manchu army can't think more about it-
