Chapter 478. Song version of the Three Character Classic
"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info are similar, and Xi is far away. This is the beginning of the "Three Character Classic".
It is said that the "Three Character Classic" is a traditional Chinese enlightenment textbook. Among the ancient Chinese classics, the "Three Character Classic" is one of the most simple and easy to read books. The "Three Character Classic" is based on allusions, including literature, history, philosophy, astronomy and geography, human ethics, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness of traditional Chinese culture, and the core idea includes "benevolence, righteousness, sincerity, respect, and filial piety." "While reciting the "Three Character Classic", I learned about common sense, traditional Chinese culture and historical stories, as well as the principles of life and work in the connotation of the story.
In terms of format, the three characters and one sentence are catchy, because of its popular, smooth, easy to remember and other characteristics, so that it is called the three major readings of traditional Chinese Mongolian studies together with "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text", collectively known as "Three Hundred Thousand".
As for the age of the writing of the "Three Character Classic" and the author's successive dynasties, most of the later generations of scholars tend to believe that "Mr. Wang Bohou of the Song Dynasty wrote the "Three Character Classic", that is, Wang Yinglin wrote a three-character song recipe that integrates the subset of the classics and history in order to better educate the children of his own clan to read.
Wang Yinglin was a native of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the historical part of the original work of the "Three Character Classic" only ended in the Song Dynasty. With the development of history, in order to reflect the changes of the times, each dynasty has people to the "Three Character Classic" constantly supplemented, Qing Daoguang period He Xingsi added about the history of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, a total of 24 sentences.
Now, the Song version of the book that Lin Yi is about to shoot turns out to be the famous "Three Character Classic", which has once again washed everyone's cognition.
Why? Because everyone had speculated about whether this book was a children's enlightenment book, but they didn't expect it to be true.
The conjecture came to life, to everyone's surprise. That feeling is like buying a "lottery ticket" and guessing the correct number, which is not only surprising, but also a surprise.
Sure enough, sure enough!
Unexpectedly, the three Song edition books participating in the auction this time turned out to be the same series, all of which are ancient children's enlightenment books.
In front of it is "Thousand Character Text", "Hundred Family Names", and this one is "Three Character Classic", Lin Yi seems to have made such a decision to auction children's enlightenment books in the Song Dynasty to the end.
Not to mention those collectors and visitors, as well as experts and scholars, just say that the four major collectors in Jinling are basically stunned, and they are stunned and inexplicable.
If you think about it, you will understand that this thing is too unscientific.
How is it possible that all three books are Song editions, and how is it possible that all three Song editions are children's enlightenment books?
It's so wicked!
Lu Sanye had a plan in his heart, and began to whisper quietly with the military advisors around him, it is conceivable that he was very interested in this book, and the other three masters next to him also began to sum up with the military advisors around him, how much should be paid.
For a while, although the auction had not yet started, the whole atmosphere was already tense and serious.
But the best is still to come, because under the effect of the scanner, this Song version of the book can be regarded as completely revealing its true face.
First of all, I opened the yellow letter, and the "Three Character Classic" was presented, and looking at the color of the cover, it looked like ephedra paper.
Seeing this color, including the four major collectors, the experts and scholars present couldn't help but show a trace of surprise. Why? Because this kind of rare books with fake colors are the most numerous, and the most difficult to identify.
It turns out that with the growth of the collection of ancient books and used books, more and more novices have joined in, and fakes have emerged in the market. Especially with the current heating up of the ancient book collection market, some unscrupulous businessmen forge ancient books to deceive laymen, among which it is a common method to use tea-dyed old paper to pretend to be old works to make fake ancient books. There are also counterfeiters who use existing old paper to reprint the contents of ancient books and then order them into "ancient books", although this method of forgery is rare, but it makes it difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the paper.
In addition, there are fraudsters who cut out part or all of the original catalogue so that it is not known how many volumes of the book are collected, so that the fragments can be used as the whole book, which is the most common manoeuvre of forgers in the catalogue.
Of course, as long as you are an expert, or a master of ancient books, you can distinguish from the binding line, the color of the book, etc., and pay attention to smell the ink, the difference between modern books and ancient books is obvious. In addition, ancient books have been tempered over the years, and their appearance is generally more or less damaged, moldy, or moth-eaten. When novices buy, they should pay special attention to details such as paper, preface, exclusion, catalog, etc., and distinguish the authenticity from these aspects.
But whether the current "Three Character Classic" is true or false still needs to be further inferred.
For everyone's surprise, Lin Yi saw it all in his eyes, of course he understood what these meant. Because when he saw this book for the first time, he almost scratched his eyes, thinking it was a fake ancient book; But the surprise is still to come, in Lin Yi's opinion, true and false things are sometimes a catalyst for competition, it depends on your eyesight.
At Lin Yi's suggestion, Professor Liu Yuliu said while slowly opening the ephedra paper "Three Character Classic": "As we all know, in the precious ancient book version, the paper is mostly bamboo paper, white cotton paper, and jade button paper, etc., and ephedra paper is used less, why? Because this paper-making method began to prevail in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it became a special paper for ancient books in the Song Dynasty, but with the disappearance of the Song version of the book, the ancient books of this paper no longer existed, and were replaced by cotton paper and bamboo paper that we often come into contact with...... It can be said that this is the progress of the paper industry, and it can also be said that it is the decline of ancient books in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, ephedra paper has actually become an important factor in identifying whether an ancient book is a Song version of the book. ”
"However, with the improvement of today's counterfeiting technology, many counterfeiters have changed their ways to create this kind of 'ephedra paper' in order to make huge profits, so as to use the ancient books in their hands as Song editions to buy and sell. As a result, as soon as many people see the so-called 'ephedra paper', they think that it is a fake and a fake ancient book. So whether this book is true or not, please keep your eyes open and carefully screen it! ”
As he spoke, Professor Liu, wearing a white-gloved hand, gently opened the cover of the "Three Character Classic", revealing the title page inside, and then everyone saw the big red Tibetan seal inside at a glance---
This time, the seal is not a "Cloud Building", nor is it a "Silk Song Building", but five unbelievable characters---
All experts and scholars, all collectors added fees, and all of them widened their eyes and carefully screened them.
The scanner clearly presented the five big characters on the screen, so that those who have blurred eyes can also see these five big characters really, and finally, everyone finally saw that the five big characters are --- "survive with the body"! (To be continued.) )
