State Studies, Library, Kong Yingda looked at the rows of bookshelves behind the borrowing office, and didn't know how to describe his feelings, so many books must have taken a lot of manpower and material resources to collect. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Each bookshelf has a person who stretches out his hand so high, densely packed with books, and those books are a little different from the books that Kong Yingda is familiar with, he has been reading since he was a child, and the books he reads are all volumes, but the books he sees now are really "one by one".

"What book does Lang Jun want to check?"

"Well, let's take a look at the book list first..."

Faced with the inquiry of the "borrower" at the lending office, Kong Yingda was a little embarrassed, the main purpose of his visit today was not to read books, but to see what the library that Xiao Yu praised was like.

Now it seems that it is really strong, Kong Yingda feels that if the books on the shelves are real, then the amount of books in this library is really not simple, and if you want to read books, the procedures are also a little special: they are handled at the borrowing office.

The borrowing desk is a long counter with more than a dozen men dressed in uniform as "borrowers" and a sign on their chests with their names written on them.

Those who want to borrow books can get a book list with a list of all the books in the branch library, and of course, for the convenience of visitors, there is a bulletin board on the wall opposite the borrowing office, and the book list is posted with a large font for everyone to see.

After deciding on it, tell the borrower the title and number of the books, and after a few moments, someone will bring the book from the shelf, which does not take long.

Books can only be read in the reading room on the side, if you want to borrow books, you have to get a library card, and you have to be a state student, and the Huangzhou State Library, a total of four borrowing offices, the corresponding books are divided into "classics, history, children, and collections".

Each library has a collection of books under the relevant title, and those who want to read them can go through the "procedures" at the corresponding library.

The Department of Classics includes scriptures and related works, including Yi, Shu, Poetry, Rites, Spring and Autumn Periods, Filial Piety Classics, Five Classics, Four Books, Music, Primary Schools, etc.

The Department of History includes historical books, including official history, chronicles, miscellaneous histories, other histories, geography, officials, political books, catalogs, historical reviews, etc., among which the official history includes "Historical Records", "Han Shu", "Later Han Shu" and other historical books.

The sub-section includes hundreds of works and books of Zhuzi, including Confucianism, military family, legalism, farming, medicine, astronomical algorithms, mathematics, art, genealogy, miscellaneous, etc.

The collection department includes the collection of poems and words, etc., including Chu Ci, other collections, general collections, poetry reviews, etc.

Kong Yingda is now in the borrowing office of the "Ministry of Classics", carefully looking at the book list, and found that the variety is very complete, and all the relevant books that he has been familiar with since childhood are available, which is comparable to the collection of books of many families.

Although there are more than a dozen borrowers at the borrowing counter, who can receive the same visitors at the same time, the counter is now full, and the number of people waiting to borrow books behind Kong Yingda is gradually increasing, although no one complains, he does not dare to delay too long.

"Labor driver, the Analects of Gongye is the fifth."

The borrower repeated one side in his mouth to confirm, then took out a pair of wooden cards and divided one piece for Kong Yingda to hold: "Lang Jun, please wait at the counter over there." ”

The book was brought quickly, and when the borrower handed the book to Kong Yingda, he whispered: "Lang Jun, please go to the reading room to read the book, and you must return the book when you leave, remember not to make a noise, if you have any needs or questions, there are bookkeepers there to help solve them." ”

Kong Yingda nodded and walked in with the book, and turned into the reading room next door, but saw that it was almost full, men of different costumes and ages, all of them were sitting at their desks reading books, and there was almost no sound in the huge reading room except for the sound of turning books.

When he was looking for a vacant seat, a young man stepped forward and guided Kong Yingda to a vacant seat to sit down.

"Lang Jun, please remember this book case number, so as not to find a place when you come back from changing clothes."

Kong Yingda said thank you in a low voice, and after the man left gently, he looked up and found that there was a young man in the same uniform in the reading room, sitting quietly on the Hu bed by the wall, thinking that it was the "bookmaid" as the borrower said.

It's morning, the reading room is very well lit, and the light in all positions is good, and there are a few strange small pillars in the room, with a glass cup at the end, but I don't know what it is for, Kong Yingda wonders if it is the "everlasting lamp" that Xiao Yu said.

'I guess I don't light the lamp until night, and the glass lamp at the end of the pillar is not for lamp oil? ’

Kong Yingda thought so, and then opened the book in his hand, "The Analects" is very familiar to him, a teacher and a descendant, and he doesn't know how many times he has read "Gongye Chang Fifth", the reason why he read it is to see how the quality of the book is.

This kind of line-bound book, the so-called "book" has the title of the book, as well as the title of the volume, which is really clear at a glance, but Kong Yingda feels that since it is a "book", it looks a little awkward because it has "volume" written on it.

But this form of book is indeed much easier to read, with the title and volume title written on the cover of the book, and then opened from right to left, the text from top to bottom, from right to left, there is nothing awkward.

The point is that each page has content on both sides, and the quality of the paper is good, the handwriting on it is clear, and the handwriting on the front and back will not be seen on the other side, so that there is a lot of content in a book.

After reading it carefully, Kong Yingda found that there were no errors or omissions in the book, and there were no typos, which means that the book is really good.

What intrigued him was that the footer of each page of the book was marked with a page number, and at the so-called "header" there was a small line that read "Orthodox Five-Year Publishing".

It is now the sixth year of the orthodoxy of the Zhou Kingdom, which means that the book was published last year, but the meaning of two words that Kong Yingda focuses on: the book is not a manuscript, it is "published".

What is publishing?

Kong Yingda was puzzled, flipped through the book, remembered that there was a "preface" in front, and then turned to the front again and looked at it carefully, the preface mainly explains the basic content of the book, the intention of compilation, and the process of writing the book.

"School book, Wu Xingzhanghua... Published in July of the fifth year of the Orthodoxy Society..."

The words "Seeking Society" and "publishing" attracted Kong Yingda's attention, and he knew that this book must be "published" by a bookstore called "Seeking Society", so if he wanted to solve his doubts, he had to find this Seeking Society.

Then he found a line of small characters: Qiuxue Society, Xiyang City, Huangzhou, the east end of Nancheng, No. 2 Shi No. 3 on the south side of Bookstore Street.

'Got the address?' Is that all right?! ’

Kong Yingda only felt that he could not describe his mood at this moment in words, he had never seen such a blatant "publicity" in the book, but it was precisely because of this that his curiosity became more and more uncontrollable.

"I'm going to find out!" (To be continued.) )
