The meaning of books for readers is equivalent to life. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Such as greedy for money and love for money, greedy for lust and lewdness, greedy for merit and reckless.

Readers are greedy for books, because books carry the whole of their second life.

The inheritance and history of a nation are all compiled into books through words, which are passed down from generation to generation, so that future generations can find the experience and advice of their predecessors in books.

The Chinese civilization has not been broken for thousands of years, thanks to generations of book writers and book collectors, who are waiting for the future and hope of these peoples.

If you want to destroy its country, you must first destroy its history.

The fact that people who are nihilistic about history have always believed that history is written by the victors is undeniable, but it does not mean everything.

The "Records of the Historians" handed down by the historian Sima Qian is still the most admired work by Chinese and foreign scholars, not only because this book carries a heavy history, but more importantly, because Sima Qian's fearless spirit of sacrifice for the sake of the book.

This book is not only history, but also a symbol of justice and justice.

Human civilization has not developed towards the law of the dark jungle, but is slowly becoming more humane, because of the existence of generations of bookcasters like Sima Qian.

Bibliophiles are the guardians of the writings of these sages, and their respect for books is equally worthy of respect.

And those who have books have those who burn them.

The act of burning books did not begin with Qin Shi Huang's book burning and pit Confucianism.

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the princes were divided, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty perished, and the princes burned all the royal books of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Han Shuyi Wenzhi 'and the decline of Zhou, the princes will exceed the law, evil themselves, and destroy their records'

The princes feared that there was a record of their rebellion in the royal books, which would be detrimental to their rule, so they burned all of them.

This is also the beginning of the collapse of ritual music as Confucius said.

Later, during the Warring States Period, Shang Yang changed the law, and also looked at the burning of the works of other schools, and during the Qin Dynasty, Li Si also set up a 'book law', prohibiting the people from collecting books and writing books privately, and burning the world's poems, books, and historical records of the princes.

However, there was no burning of books such as medicine and witchcraft.

Liu Bang entered Xianyang City and his subordinates looted and transported a large number of treasures, but Xiao He gave up the treasures and carried the books of the Qin Palace.

And Xiao He's move is also one of the important reasons why the Han Dynasty can continue to prosper for a hundred years and stand tall under the iron hooves of foreign clans.

Collecting books is above board, while burning books is to cover up the facts.

Both of these are what history itself looks like.

And readers, in addition to governing the country and leveling the world, reading is more for the sake of fairness, so this new play "The House of Books" immediately resonated with many people.

In particular, several old gentlemen who have experienced the experience of 'book burning' in modern times are very serious.

The background of "The House of Books" is the Fan family, the first surviving library in the world, 'Tianyi Pavilion'.

Tianyi Pavilion is a library pavilion built by Fan Qin, a soldier in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, with a collection of more than 70,000 volumes, which can be regarded as an inspirational book hidden in the world.

The name of Tianyi Pavilion is taken from Zhou Yi's 'Heaven is born of water, and the earth is sixty percent', and the most feared thing about the collection of books is fire, and it is very appropriate to name Tianyi.

At first, collecting books was Fan Qin's personal hobby, he was poor as an official, and he was good at collecting books, but as the collection of books also increased, Fan Qin suddenly felt that his private hobby had become a responsibility, a responsibility to preserve and protect these historical texts for future generations.

So before Fan Qin passed away, the property atmosphere was cold, half of the 70,000 volumes of books and Tianyi Pavilion collected throughout his life, and the other half was other real estate and family property, and the eldest son inherited Tianyi Pavilion, and undertook the ancestral motto 'Generations do not divide books, books do not leave the pavilion', stipulating that the collection of books is shared by all descendants, and it is not allowed to be unlocked unless it is the key of all parties. The life of the ancestors to collect books.

In the Fan family, Tianyi Pavilion is much more important than other property.

The first person with a foreign surname to enter Tianyi Pavilion was Huang Zongxi, a famous thinker in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, who spent more than ten years reading the 70,000 volumes of Tianyi Pavilion's collection, laying his academic foundation and contributing to the cataloguing of Tianyi Pavilion.

The couplet on both sides of the gate is Zhong Dingwen: "Tianyi's relics are long and long, and it is especially difficult for Nanlei to hide them for a long time."

Huang Zongxi was named Nanlei, and he once admired that "it is difficult to read, and it is especially difficult to collect books." If it is hidden for a long time and does not disperse, it will be difficult to do so."

During the Qianlong period of the Qing court, the reputation of Tianyi Pavilion reached its peak, and the Qianlong Emperor collected books from all over the world in order to compile the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book", and Tianyi Pavilion was the main source of literature, and Tianyi Pavilion also became the template of the Qing court library.

Qianlong ordered the construction of the 'Four Pavilions of the Inner Court' for the Tianyi Pavilion, and then added the 'Seven Pavilions of the North and South'.

The fate of the individual family can not escape the fate of the country, Tianyi Pavilion is no exception, the social turmoil at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Tianyi Pavilion experienced a tragic trauma, after the outbreak of the Opium War, the British captured Ningbo Mansion and plundered the book collection.

Later, during the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom period, thieves stole books from Tianyi Pavilion and sold them, and some of the books were bought back by Fan Bangsui, the tenth grandson of Fan Qin.

During the period of the Republic of China, the thief Xue Jiwei infiltrated Tianyi Pavilion, and the thieves outside the building should cooperate with the outside, and transported the stolen Tianyi Pavilion books to Mingzhu, sold them in the bookstore, and then was redeemed by Zhang Yuanji of the Commercial Press with a huge amount of money, and hid in the Hanfen Building of the Oriental Library, but it was burned down due to the bombing of the Oriental Library in the Anti-Japanese War.

This incident caused the loss of thousands of books in the Tianyi Pavilion.

At this time, Tianyi Pavilion's collection of books changed from 70,000 volumes at the beginning to more than 15,000 volumes, and the loss was immeasurable.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the prime minister personally issued an order to protect Tianyi Pavilion, and at the same time, many domestic book collectors donated the Tianyi Pavilion collection that they had acquired, and the book collectors who had been away from home for decades were able to return to Tianyi Pavilion and enrich the collection of Tianyi Pavilion again.

The circulation of Tianyi Pavilion is not only the value of cultural relics, but also the spiritual value.

Tianyi Pavilion more than 400 years of ups and downs, the rise and fall process is like a Chinese scholar inheritance experience, the story of Tianyi Pavilion and those who guard the collection of books, is the lofty ideal and humanistic spirit of the Chinese nation.

They will not bow to the invaders, they will not be afraid of the coercion of war, they will not be annihilated by roosters and dogs, and they will not be destroyed by violent storms.

In the Chinese civilization, the weak scholars who are "useless" and "untied" carry the strong spiritual core of this nation, and this spirit is the original appearance of Chinese civilization.

It is also the driving force that inspires this famous people to continue to move forward bravely, to study for the rise of China, to study for the peace of all generations, and to read for the sake of continuing to study.

This new play, "The House of Books", uses the history of the Fan family to convey a reflection and question about the direction of Chinese culture.

The spiritual meaning behind Tianyi Pavilion is thoroughly interpreted, and it is not an easy thing to do, not only to combine the fate of the book and the fate of people, but also to show Tianyi Pavilion as a cultural symbol of the Chinese nation's forbearance and unyielding.

Originally, when Mao Weitao was rehearsing the play, the focus was also on these three kneeling and begging for books, but she and the author both wanted to use 'kneeling' and 'stepping' to express the male protagonist's protection and thirst for the collection of books at that time.

And Zheng Jingjing knelt together, and every time she replaced the 'kneeling step' with a real big kneeling, this expression was more abrupt, and even a little strong, which was easy to make the audience dance.

Because the big kneeling is to jump first and then kneel on both knees, the sound of both knees hitting the stage is very loud, which is easy to make the audience sympathetic and shocked.

If you can do it without letting the audience play, it is very important.

Zheng Jingjing's emotional handling of the characters here did not use the way taught by Master Mao Weitao, but a kind of understanding of Fan Rong's mentality and emotions when he asked for books.

This understanding comes from Wang Yao.

When Zheng Jingjing saw this book, she felt that Fan Rong was really similar to Wang Yao, talented, young talent, obviously had the ability to get rid of some trivial matters, but he always compromised and tolerated on some trivial matters.

Winning glory for the country abroad, but being blocked internally, doing charity, and protecting traditional culture, although there is not much confusion along the way, the future is not optimistic.

Wang Yao doesn't actually need to do these things, or he doesn't have to put all his energy on them, he can be a good opera artist or playwright, or director, or investor, but he chose a thankless path that will be wronged.

She didn't know if Wang Yao knelt down for the sake of collecting books like Fan Rong, but she knew that if Wang Yao faced this similar choice one day, he would definitely kneel without hesitation, and he knelt upright and sonorous.

Just because, with a clear conscience, this heart is bright.

The book keeper has inherited the thousand-year-old Sven with his hands, and has supported the backbone of the nation with his blood.

They can be alone and proud of the world, proud of the princes, and not bend their waists for five buckets of rice; but they can also kneel down for the belief that "collecting books in troubled times, serving in prosperous times, immortalizing the avenue, and immortalizing the soul of books".

The treasure book has 10,000 volumes, the high pavilion bundles the classics, the majestic Tianyi Pavilion, has experienced the baptism of wind and rain, the ups and downs, and has kept the collection of 10,000 volumes, and has kept the context of thousands of years.

"Destined to be a bookkeeper, year after year".

The world outside the book, let it be turbulent, the world changes, keep the road in mind and do not change its will; the years outside the pavilion, let it pass through the gaps, fall flowers and water, pampered and humiliated without fear and do not chase the vulgar flow. They are full of talent, but they cling to their incompleteness and are willing to be silent; they love books as much as their lives, but they cannot arbitrarily and ramble on poetry and books.

Their whole life is persevered in loneliness and inherited in perseverance.

After kneeling three times, the audience was moved, and the plot took another peak.

Governor Sun made another excessive request, that is, to ask Hua Rujian to marry him again.

This request Fan Rong was unacceptable, and after returning home, there was another sad cry, and the lady of the book clerk cried hard and cried blood in order to build a sandwich wall to store books.
