In Jinling City, there are a total of four big players who collect ancient books, in addition to Lu Sanye, there are also three big players "Zhang Fengding". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Siye's ancestor is an old player in Jinling City, in addition to collecting ancient books, he likes to collect porcelain the most, and there are countless precious porcelains on hand, "Brother Ru Junding" has all of them, and is known as the collector with the longest family history in the circle.

Feng Wuye is a player who came out halfway, used to specialize in jade, is a master in gambling on jade, agate jade rough or something, once he can point the stone into gold, played with jade for most of his life, and finally somehow fell in love with the Buddhist scriptures, it is said that once he was killed in Myanmar was blessed by the Buddha to escape, so he was very obsessed with the collection of Buddhist scriptures, most of his wealth eventually became Buddhist scriptures, and he built a largest "Tibetan scripture pavilion" in Jinling City, which has more Buddhist scriptures than the four major Buddhist holy places in China.

Ding Qiye is also a legendary figure, he used to collect antique furniture, it is said that he has a rich collection, the most bullish of which is a dragon collapse where Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Empire was lying back then, that is, on that dragon collapse he was fortunate to the Yehenala Cixi who later brought disaster to the country and the people.

Generally speaking, Lu Zhang, Feng Ding and the four of them are the largest collectors in Jinling City, and they have their own strengths in collecting, but when it is the turn of ancient book collection, Lu Sanye is called second, and no one dares to call it first.

However, like Lu Sanye, when this "ancient book exhibition" was full of turmoil, the three of them also paid attention to this: thousands of rare books appeared at the exhibition at the same time, what kind of grand occasion would this be?

It's amazing when you think about it.

The three great collectors were then curious about this newly emerging novice collector who was hiding behind the scenes. After all, to be able to hold such a large-scale exhibition of rare books in a city as big as Jinling City, it is impossible to say that there is no collection strength.

However, what they paid the most attention to were some special "rare books" in the exhibition list.

……

Because since ancient times, those large folk collectors, as well as those high-end museums with forced qualifications, have the habit of "pressing the collection" and "pressing the bottom of the box". Many rare books are unheard of in the world, not to mention taking them out for exhibition, so that everyone can see them, even if they are relatives, friends, scholars and celebrities want to borrow them to take a look, it is also difficult.

It's not a joke, it's a fact.

As we all know, people who are good at reading regard books as their life, and rare books and unique books will not be lent to others. In 1954, *** sent his cronies to Peking University to borrow the rare book "Dream of Red Mansions" from the Peking University Library. The cronie came to the president's office of Peking University with a letter of introduction and asked to borrow a book. Who would dare not give the book that the chairman wanted? The vice principal hurriedly called the curator in person and said that the leader borrowed books, but he did not expect to be rejected by the director, and his reason was: rare books cannot be borrowed, which is the library's rule. If you want to use it, you can copy it, but you can't borrow it. The fact that the dignified president of the country was rejected by the director of the library shows the weight of rare books in the minds of literati.

Rare books can't be lent to the president of the country, so it's even more impossible to lend lonely books to ordinary people! However, Mr. Zhou Ruchang, a master of red studies, was so lucky, and the person who borrowed the book was Hu Shi, the famous pioneer of the New Culture Movement---!

Zhou Ruchang was born in 1918, 27 years younger than Hu Shi, and when Zhou Ruchang wore open crotch pants, Hu Shi was already famous all over the world. But the two became acquainted with "Dream of Red Mansions".

In the autumn of 1947, the young student Zhou Ruchang was influenced by Hu Shi and was also studying "Dream of Red Mansions". Zhou Ruchang found six poems related to Cao Xueqin in Dunmin's "Mao Zhai Poems", and wrote an article based on this information, "The New Presumption of Cao Xueqin's Birth and Death Year--- Cao Xueqin in Mao Zhai's Poetry Banknotes", which was published in the "Tianjin Republic of China Daily" and immediately attracted wide attention from the red academic circles, including Hu Shi, who loved to study "Dream of Red Mansions". After Hu Shi saw this article, he praised Zhou Ruchang's research, and Hu Shi took the initiative to write a letter to the young student Zhou Ruchang, affirming his research results and encouraging him. Zhou Ruchang received Hu Shi's letter, excited for several days, but also strengthened his determination to study red science, in the later research process, he had any questions, will write to Hu Shi, Hu Shi is also happy to guide the younger generation of young talents, so the two exchanged more letters, and they knew each other.

Zhou Ruchang and Hu Shi not long after the relationship, he also knew that Hu Shi treasured the "Qianlong Jiaxu Yan Zhai Re-evaluation of the Stone Record" of the lone book, this book in 1980 in the United States when the Red Science Conference appeared publicly, the participants were shocked by the rare treasure, in 1949, Hu Shi left Beiping, only two books with him, one of which is the only book of "Qianlong Jiaxu Yan Zhai Re-evaluation of the Stone Record", which shows Hu Shi's love and attention to this book.

In order to study "Dream of Red Mansions", Zhou Ruchang proposed to borrow "Qianlong Jiaxu Yan Zhai Re-evaluation of the Stone Record", Zhou Ruchang was originally a joke, and he didn't expect Hu Shi to lend it to him! However, what Zhou Ruchang did not expect, Hu Shi agreed without hesitation, wrapped it in a three-layer newspaper, solemnly wrote Zhou Ruchang's school, dormitory and name with a red pen on the newspaper, and entrusted Professor Sun Kaidi to give it to Zhou Ruchang in person.

Zhou Ruchang was very moved after receiving the book, and the three newspapers with books let him keep them for decades!

It is more difficult for literati to borrow precious books, and even Mr. Lu Xun once suffered the embarrassment of not being able to borrow books, but Hu Shi said proudly in his later years, I have never been rejected to borrow books from others in my life. Why was Hu Shi able to borrow precious books? Judging from the fact that he gave Zhou Ruchang the only copy of "Qianlong Jiaxu Yan Zhai Re-evaluation of the Stone Record", it is still related to his philanthropic conduct.

In fact, the book collecting industry has always been like this, what you don't have, I have it, I can lend it to you, or I don't lend it to you, if you want to borrow it, it depends on the relationship between the two of us, or the character of the collector. Sometimes the character of a collector explodes like Hu Shih, and it can benefit the vast number of book lovers who are eager to see a rare book.

Because of this, when Marriott Real Estate Company held the "Jiang Qingping Ancient Books and Rare Books Exhibition" in order to promote its own "Famous Garden Scholarly" high-end community, it immediately exploded in the circle of literati from the north and south.

Whether it is the north, or the south, whether it is the east or the west, and even many overseas literati and writers who like to study ancient books, all of them are moved by the wind, take a plane, take a train, and all hurried to Jinling, hoping to get close to those legendary solitary books and rare books!

……

Jinling, international airport.

A plane flying from New York, USA, slowly landed at Jinling International Airport. The flickering navigation lights shine brightly through the heavy clouds of the afternoon; With a loud roar, the plane smoothly lowered its tailstock and glided over the new airport runway with its iron wings.

A fashionably dressed Chinese woman rubbed her sleepy eyes under the gentle reminder of her foreigner husband. Remove the blanket from your body and straighten the chaise longue. Looking out the window at the dazzling sunlight, she shook her head. The fatigue of the days and the fatigue of flying for more than ten hours made her extremely sleepy; Probably because of the jet lag, she just wants to get another good night's sleep now.

"Dear Mike, are we here?" The woman asked her husband beside her.

"Yes, dear, we have arrived in Nanjing, this is your hometown." Mike gently stroked his wife's hair. "I know you've always missed your hometown and your deceased father, but I really can't bear to see you so tired, my dear."

"I understand, Mike. You're doing my good, but I have to make a trip...... You know, I have to do something. "Woman--- Jiang Yuhan said.

Mike took her hand and kissed it gently, "For that rare book exhibition?" I know that it was your father's hard work, and now, as Professor Jiang's only daughter, you have to tell everyone that you are back. ”

"Yes, I'm back!" Jiang Yuhan glanced out the window meaningfully.

Jinling, I'm back.

She closed her eyes gently, as if she saw herself sitting on her father's lap when she was a child, looking through those precious ancient books together, and the fragrance of books was elegant.

……

After getting off the plane, Jiang Yuhan and her husband Mike dragged their luggage and walked in the airport hall.

Today's airport hall seems to be extremely crowded, the husband and wife are struggling to cross the crowd, surrounded by crowds holding welcome signs, just when the two of them are a little dizzy, a voice said: "Hello, is it Ms. Jiang Yuhan and Mr. Mike?" ”

Jiang Yuhan and her husband Mike turned around and saw a middle-aged man looking at them very kindly.

"Yes, we are."

"Okay, please go this way, Mr. Lu is waiting for you in the car!" The man said enthusiastically as he led the way.

……

BMW cars Mercedes on the wide road---

In the BMW car, Jiang Yuhan and her husband Mike met Lu Sanye for the first time.

Lu Sanye is like an ordinary old man, except for the occasional hint of momentum, the whole person is kind and kind, and he looks very kind. At first, Lu Sanye didn't say much, just cheered the two of them for a long time, and then said: "I contacted you this time, mainly because I think that so many precious books should belong to Miss Jiang, after all, you are Professor Jiang's only daughter." Of course, I also know that Miss Jiang doesn't like collecting books very much, but it doesn't matter, if you don't like it, you can transfer it all to me, and I will definitely pay you a satisfactory price--- what do you think? ”

Jiang Yuhan smiled: "It seems that Mr. Lu is a real collector, but unfortunately, those books are not in my hands now." ”

"This simple --- if not, we'll grab it back!" Lu Sanye smiled and said domineeringly.
