(The starting point is the first release, piracy must be investigated!) ）

In fact, many people misunderstand the "Golden Plum Bottle", and regard this book as a "forbidden book" and "obscene book" for obscenity and theft, in fact, "Golden Bottle Plum" has another title, known as the well-deserved "study of the Ming Dynasty of the Great Book of Britain", that is to say, as long as you want to study the era of the Ming Dynasty, "The Golden Bottle of Plum" must be read, the book is all-encompassing, what market scoundrels, peddlers and pawns, high-ranking officials and dignitaries, literati and elegant guests are all portrayed vividly, it can be said that it is completely similar to the "Qingming Riverside Map" The Ming Dynasty Historical Life Gallery is more inspired than you can see a lot of historical materials.

In addition, "The Golden Vase Plum" has a "good reputation" among ordinary people, but it has always been called "strange book" and "elegant book" among literati and celebrities since ancient times. That's why there is a saying that "lying in bed on a snowy night to read forbidden books, and reading a golden bottle in the wind and rain outside the window".

If you use this logic to infer that Old Man Yue, a "literati scholar" and a "Taishan Beidou" in the calligraphy and painting world, brought a set of "Golden Vase Plum" from afar to help the fun, it is reasonable; On the contrary, it would be strange if he brought a set of "Water Margin" that kills people and sets fires at every turn, and is full of birds.

Looking back, looking at the binding and cover design of this set of books, it looks simple and elegant, three women, one is wearing a white dress, one is wearing a blue shirt, and one is wearing a red robe, the three of them have Ming-style hair buns, willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, goose egg faces, curling figures, eyebrows and smiles, and their eyes are expressive and lifelike. Needless to say, these three women must be Pan Jinlian, Li Bei'er and Pang Chunmei, as for the man who was face-to-face with the red woman and slept on the bed, it must be the legendary "male model" Ximen Qing, a big official of Ximen.

From the binding composition and cover design of this book alone, it presents a classical and elegant demeanor, even if Lin Yi is not a very typical "cover control", seeing such a cover design, I still can't help but swallow a mouthful of spit, just like a treasure everyone sees a rare treasure, and can't put it down.

Seeing the treasure, since he can't put it down, he has to look at it carefully, so Lin Yi opened the copyright page of the hardcover book, took a closer look, and was dizzy, it turned out to be the 1989 Qilu edition of "New Carved Embroidery Criticism of the Golden Vase Plum", satin hardcover, the only unabridged typeset after the founding of the People's Republic of China, full coated paper, number 2551.

Seeing this, Lin Yi's "thief eyes" became even brighter.

……

You must know that "The Golden Vase Plum", known as "the world's first strange book", has had three slightly different version series: first, several early manuscripts. Unfortunately, these early manuscripts have not survived, except in the correspondence or notes of some scholars of the Ming Dynasty; The second is the word book, that is, the "Golden Bottle Plum Words" engraved in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. At present, three surviving copies have been discovered, except for one that went to the United States and is now hidden in Taiwan, and the other two have been exiled to Japan; The third is as many as seven or eight kinds of rap books such as "New Carved Embroidery Criticism of the Golden Vase Plum" and "Zhang Zhupo's Criticism of the First Strange Book" published during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty.

Of the three versions, the most widely circulated and the most well-known are the Dictionaries and Rap Essays. However, the words and discourses have not been sorted out and proofread, so they are not very suitable for general readers, and the rap prose is more suitable for general readers because they have been rewritten, added and deleted by anonymous literati. Another feature of the rap book is that the book contains a large number of eyebrow criticisms, side criticisms and clipping criticisms, as well as Zhang Zhupo's comments; Some editions are accompanied by up to 200 woodcut illustrations specially engraved by several Ming woodcarvers.

However, for many collectors of the "Golden Vase Plum" edition, there are actually only two versions of this set of books, the clean version and the full version.

What does it mean, smart people will understand.

It is said that in 1985, under the bold auspices of Ms. Wei Junyi, president and editor-in-chief, the People's Publishing House published an abridged version of "The Words of the Golden Bottle". This is a breakthrough and pioneering achievement in the public publication of banned books since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Later, other publishing houses also published various clean books, so that for a period of time, the eunuch version of "The Golden Vase of Plums" bloomed and became an intriguing landscape.

Among these clean books, as far as Lin Yi knows, the more famous ones are-

1. The Words of the Golden Plum, published by the People's Literature Publishing House in 1985. Dai Hongsen proofreading, paperback three volumes (belonging to the Chinese Novel Historical Materials Series), 10,000 sets printed for the first time, priced at 12 yuan. There are 36 woodcut illustrations, a total of 19,174 words deleted, and now the price of the old book is 400 yuan.

In addition, in July 1989, the People's Publishing House also published a two-volume hardcover edition with 35 illustrations, priced at 55 yuan, and now the price of old books is 220 yuan.

2. "Zhang Zhupo's Criticism of the First Strange Book - Golden Bottle Plum", published by Shandong Qilu Publishing House in October 1987. Wang Rumei, Li Zhaoxu, and Yu Fengshu are at school. Two hardcover volumes, with a number of color pictures painted by Chen Quansheng. A total of 10,398 words were deleted, and 10,000 sets were printed for the first time, priced at 28 yuan. There have even been pirated copies, and now the price of genuine used books is 315 yuan, and pirated books are 80 yuan.

3. "The Words of the Golden Bottle", published by the People's Literature Publishing House in October 2000, edited by Tao Muning, hardcover in two volumes, with several illustrations. A total of 4,300 words were deleted in the book, 8,000 sets were printed for the first time, and the price was 96 yuan. This edition of the binding design is quite beautiful, the proofreading is very serious, the paper, the printing are more elegant, the deletion is less than other clean books, it is a version of several clean books in the golden vase, quite worth reading and collecting. Nowadays, the price of used books is 240 yuan.

……

In addition to the above "clean book", in fact, for countless "gold fans", what they want most is the "full book" of this set of books, so that there is a saying that "if you don't look at the full book of the golden bottle, you are worthy of smiling at Lanling".

In fact, as early as 1931, someone in Jiexiu, Shanxi Province discovered the woodcut book "The Words of the Golden Bottle Plum" (full book), which attracted the attention of scholars and experts at that time. In 1933, Mr. Ma Lian of the Confucius Library in Beijing raised funds to photocopy 120 copies. Mr. Lu Xun and Mr. Zheng Zhenduo have ordered a lot of money. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, according to Mao Taizu's instructions that "the "Golden Vase Plum" can be used for reference, that is, the plot of insulting women in the book is not good, and the provinces, committees, books, and records can be seen", the relevant departments used the 1933 edition as the base to photocopy 2,000 sets (there is also a saying that 1,000 sets were printed) numbered for registration and distribution, for provincial and military-level cadres and a few literary scholars to buy. As a result, the supply of books is very small, not many people know about it, and the impact is very small, but now the book itself is a treasure.

Although Lin Yi is not the kind of super crazy "gold fan", through the records on the "Reading Notes", he also knows some knowledge about these books. The most famous ones are the following:

1. "The Words of the New Engraved Golden Vase Plum", published by Beijing Literary and Ancient Books Publishing House in October 1957, 21 volumes of two letters, 20 volumes of text, one volume, two pieces per time, a total of 200 pictures, based on the photocopy of 1933, priced at 40 yuan, and can be purchased by cadres at or above the ministerial level. Nowadays, the price of old books is 78,000 yuan, and the special edition is hundreds of thousands.

2. The Words of the Golden Vase and Plum, published by Hong Kong Taiping Book Company in August 1982, is photocopied according to the 1957 edition of the scale, but the 200 illustrations are moved to two before each time. By the end of 2000, this edition had been printed 16 times, and in addition to the six paperback volumes, there were also two hardcover volumes. At present, there are many pirated copies of this version in the book market, and you can buy a set for about 150 yuan.

3. "New Carved Embroidery Criticism of the Golden Vase Plum", photocopied by Peking University Press in August 1988, 4 letters, 36 volumes, 1,000 sets of prints, 2 illustrations per time, issued internally, for the purchase of liberal arts faculty above associate professor, priced at 700 yuan. Nowadays, the price of used books is 15,000 yuan.

4. "New Carved Embroidery Criticism of the Golden Bottle Plum", published by Qilu Publishing House in June 1989, Qi Yan and Wang Rumei will be in school. This Chongzhen book is equipped with 200 illustrations, 8,000 sets of prints, and is priced at 175 yuan. Now the price of old books is 3,200 yuan.

……

The set of books that Lin Yi is holding at this moment is the full edition of Qilu Books, which has been praised as one of the rare books by countless "gold fans".

Thinking of this, Lin Yi, the "idiot" of the old book, couldn't help but swallow a deep mouthful of saliva.

What a book, he exclaimed.

That's when --

"Give me a cup of tea." As soon as the old man Wang Zhenwang turned around, he realized that he had changed people.

Lin Yi came back to his senses, hurriedly stuffed back the set of "Golden Vase Plum", and then brought him the warm water that had already been dried on the coffee table with a smile.

Old Man Wang nodded at him, smiled, and didn't speak.

The old man of Jiang Dongjiang also saw Lin Yi, so he put on a straight face and said angrily: "You guy, where did you go?" That Xu Tianyou is not easy to use at all. ”

Okay, just treat people as small guys. Lin Yi had to say, there was something wrong, and he went out for a while.

Jiang Dong grimaced, and said, "Don't take it as an example, but you were sent to serve us...... It's not that we love this mouthful, we are old, sometimes our hands and feet are not sharp, and there are many things that you need to do. ”

"Yes, I'll pay attention next time." Lin Yi accepted it humbly. Counting the three old men combined, they are all over 170 years old, usually respected, pampered, usually in addition to writing and painting, it is estimated that they have not done any physical work.

Counting it up, Xu Dashao, who is also pampered, is the only difference between them and them is that he doesn't learn and has no skills.

Seeing Lin Yi's humble attitude and being so diligent, the old man Jiang was in a better mood, asked him if he had any cigarettes, and said that the boy surnamed Xu was stingy and stingy, and he was reluctant to let even a few cigarettes.

Lin Yi took out the cigarette and integrated it and handed it over, these calligraphy and paintings are basically big smoking guns, you can see from the posture of holding the cigarette that they are veterans, Lin Yi helped to light it diligently, and the trace of complaint in Jiangdong's heart immediately disappeared.

Speaking of which, Lin Yi is understandable for doing this, after all, his responsibility is to take care of the three of them, and small things like buying medicine and massages are also his business, if Xu Dashao hadn't been forced to be a stand-in, this matter would still fall on his head.

Then again, Boss Xu's 50,000 yuan is not easy to earn. (To be continued.) )
