Chapter 265: Culture
"I'll go!" Bao Hong was stunned, "What kind of trouble is this?" System, you're stepping on a tightrope, you're already standing on the edge of a cliff, right? ”
"What do you mean?" The system wondered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"This Boyi came out, and it can almost be said that it is directly linked to the group of people in ancient times, right?" Bao Hong said in a deep voice, "It's not like those people will really kill them as soon as they turn around, right?" What's in your database? Did you go to the Xia Dynasty? Is there Xia Yu, Boyi, Xia Qi? ”
"The database doesn't have a database of these people!" The system smiled, "However, with the expansion of the system's data, reading the thinking of these people at the end of the Han Dynasty, etc., I also have a more detailed understanding of the historical framework and character structure of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the database has been expanding." ”
"So there really is a character in this area? Did Xia Shangzhou start with Xia Qi or Xia Yu? Bao Hong asked, "Anyway, I haven't paid attention to whether there is any information about Xia Shangzhou in this era, and are there any unknown stories in it?" And if these three generations are built, are they ready to develop towards Yao Shunyu? Are there three emperors and five emperors? ”
"You've got too much!" The system said angrily, "And even now, there have been several book destruction incidents, and Confucius's Spring and Autumn Period only has that little thing, how much do you think I can know?" The main thing is that some memories attached to the heroic spirits who have been messed in or resurrected are used as the basis to build the database of Xia Shang Zhou! ”
There have been many scattered incidents in the past dynasties, and Niu Hong, the secretary and supervisor of the Sui Dynasty, referred to the five major book scattering caused by Qin Shi Huang's book burning, Wang Mang's rebellion, Dong Zhuo's transfer of the capital, Huihuai's rebellion, and Hou Jing's rebellion as the "Five Misfortunes" in the "Please Open the Road Table for Offering Books". In the Ming Dynasty's Hu Yinglin's "Shao Room Mountain House Brush Collection", the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion, the Huangchao Uprising, the Jingkang Difficulty, and the southward movement of the Mengyuan Dynasty were added, becoming the "Ten Misfortunes". Later, Zhu Wenbai summarized the five bad fortunes from the Yuan Dynasty to the Republic of China in the article "The Doom of Chinese Books in the Past Two Thousand Years": Li Zicheng's uprising, the fire in Qianyun Tower, the burning of books by Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty, the internal and external troubles of the Xianfeng Dynasty, and the War of Resistance against Japan.
The first is the burning of books by Qin Shi Huang: in the thirty-fourth year of the first emperor, Li Si suggested: "Historians and non-Qin Ji are all burned here, not doctors, and those who dare to have "poems", "books", and hundreds of languages in the world dare to keep them and burn them." There are those who dare to say "poems" and "books" to abandon the market. The ancient is not the present. Whoever sees that he does not raise the line is guilty of the same crime. The order is not to burn for 30 days, and it is a city. Those who do not go are books of medicine, divination, and tree planting. Niu Hong said about this: "And the Qin Emperor Yuyu, devouring the princes, appointing power, not learning from the ancients, the first order to burn books, and the punishment of even words." The tomb of the first king was swept away. The original is the first to die, and thus subverted. In other words, the classics rise and fall, and there are signs of faith. One of these books is also doomed. ("Sui Shu, Niu Hongbiography, Please Open the Road to the Book Table")
Wang Mang's Rebellion: "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Confucianism": "In the past, when Wang Mang was at the beginning of the change, the world was scattered, the etiquette and music fell apart, and the classics were ruined. Niu Hong's description of this is: "At the end of Wang Mang, the soldiers of Chang'an rose, the palace books, and burned from the embers." The second of this book is also doomed. The "Sui Shu Jing Ji Zhi" has a rough count of scattered books: "(contained in the "Seven Strategies") 33,090 volumes of Dafan, at the end of Wang Mang's reign, were burned again. ”
Dong Zhuo moved the capital: "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Confucianism": "On the occasion of Dong Zhuo's move to the capital, the officials and the people were disturbed, and they were in the collections of Yong, Dongguan, Lantai, Shimur, Xuanming, and Hongdu. and those who were collected by Wang Yun and went west, cut more than 70 times, the road was difficult, and half of it was abandoned. After the rebellion of Chang'an, it was burned for a while, and it was all gone. ”
Huihuai's Rebellion: Liang Ruan Xiaoxu's "Preface to the Seven Records": "The secretary of the Jin Dynasty, Xun Xun, wrote the "New Book" because of Wei's "Zhongjing", although it is divided into more than ten volumes, and there are always four separate parts. The rebellion of Huihuai, its book is omitted. Jiangzuo grass creation, ten not one exists. The Book of Sui and the Chronicles of the Sui Dynasty said that these books were "29,945 volumes in four parts", and "the rebellion of Huihuai, the collapse of Jinghua, and the literature of the Quge Pavilion are all missing." ”
Hou Jing's Rebellion: At the end of Emperor Wu of Liang, Hou Jing attacked Jiankang. Volume 609 of the "Taiping Yulan" quotes the "Three Kingdoms Dictionary": "At the beginning of the Marquis Jinglai, there were hundreds of prostitutes in the East Palace, and Jing Nai distributed them to the sergeants. At night, in the palace to set up wine and music, suddenly heard the fire, the crowd was dispersed, hundreds of kitchens in the East Palace were burned. "Book of Sui: Book of Classics": "Emperor Keping Hou Jing of the Yuan Dynasty, collected the book of Wende and public and private scriptures, attributed to Jiangling, more than 70,000 volumes. Zhou Shi entered Ying, and he set himself on fire. "Taiping Yulan" volume 619 quotes the "Three Kingdoms Dictionary": "Zhou Shi fell into Jiangling, the governor of Liang was not good, entered the East Pavilion Bamboo Palace, ordered to give up the people Gao Shanbao, burned 140,000 ancient and modern books, and wanted to throw himself into the fire to extinguish it, and the palace people led the clothes, and then the fire was extinguished. And he cut off the pillar with a sword, and sighed: 'The way of civil and military affairs is poor tonight.' ’”
At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty: "The Book of Sui and the Book of Classics": "In the fifth year of Wude of the Tang Dynasty, Keping was pseudo-Zheng, collected all his books and historical sites, and ordered Song Zungui, the young secretary of Sinong, to carry it by boat, trace the river to the west, and will go to Beijing. Those who survive are not one or two out of ten. ”
Anshi Rebellion: "Preface to the Old Tang Dynasty Books: Chronicles": "Since then, it has been divided into 40 volumes, called "Ancient and Modern Books", with 51,852 volumes. In the Lushan Rebellion, both were destroyed, and the old Qianyuan family was completely destroyed. ”
Huangchao Uprising: "Old Tang Dynasty Books: Chronicles": "At the beginning of the opening, four books to 56,476 volumes. And at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Huangchao Ganji, and then trapped in two capitals, the palace temple and temple office, burned down, the time of the remains, the ruler is not extant. ”
The difficulty of Jingkang: "History of the Song Dynasty: Art and Literature": "The difficulty of Jingkang, and the storage of Xuanhe and the pavilion are lost. It is worth mentioning that the loss of these disasters is not only a large number of books, but also the honor guards, crown robes, ritual vessels, instruments, treasures and many other items collected by the Song royal family.
Li Zicheng's uprising: Qian Qianyi's "Mu Zhai Youxue Collection": "The years have accumulated for more than 200 years, once it is suddenly burned, it will sink into the torch of the thieves, and the cabinet book will be exhausted. And the secret hall of the inner palace is as good as before. In addition to simmering embers, followed by messes, such as beads and jade, Danshu green characters, a few horizontal Chen, and the night of the emperor, used to sweat cattle and horses, make camels, walk in the mud and sand, through dung, ask it to turn into flying dust, and turn into flames and cannot be obtained. Since the funeral, there has been no misfortune. The "cabinet" here refers to the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Ming Dynasty.
The fire in Qianyun Tower: Qianyun Building is the library of Qian Qianyi, a bibliophile in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, which is extremely rich in books. Cao Rong's "Bibliography Inscription of Qianyun Building" cloud: "Yushan Zongbo, when the temple was in its prime. Early years of the family name, outings all over the world. As much as possible for the four books of Ion Wei, Qian Gongfu, Yang Wuchuan, and Zhao Rushi, he did not hesitate to buy ancient books. …… Soon after entering the north, it is said that the disease is returned, living in the Red Bean Villa, the collection of books is re-strengthened, the district is classified and gathered, and the clouds are upstairs, and there are three of the seventy in the big tree. Gu Zhi said to himself: 'I am poor in my old age, and I can be rich in books.' For more than ten days, his young daughter froze upstairs with her nurse in the middle of the night, cut candles and fell into the pile of paper, and then burned. Zong Bo was startled downstairs, the flames were already open, and he couldn't save it, so he fled in a hurry. The building is full of books. The aftermath was shocked, and I was especially sorry for it. He said, 'Ancient books do not exist. Qian Qianyi himself said in the "Book of Han" before and after the Song version: "The Jiashen Rebellion was a great catastrophe in ancient and modern books and history. The fire of my family's Gengyin, Jiangzuo's book and history are a small catastrophe. Today, Wuzhong is a bibliophile, sporadical, not enough to be a ** feather in my family. ”
Qianlong ban: During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the "Siku Quanshu" was compiled and revised, and at the same time, a major inventory of books was launched. For political reasons, there are nearly 3,000 kinds of banned books that are being destroyed, and more than 60,000 or 70,000 copies are listed. According to Wang Bin's "General Description of Banned Books in the Qing Dynasty", there were 3,236 kinds of banned books in the Qing Dynasty, and the number was close to the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book".
During this period, in addition to destroying books, there was also a way of destroying documents, called "demolition". The so-called "demolition" means that during the compilation and revision of the Siku Quanshu, some books were removed from the relevant parts of these books during the editing process because some chapters or texts did not conform to the political atmosphere of the time. When later generations consult these books, they will find that some of the pages of these books are blank, but there is no indication at all. If it is blank at the end of the volume, or if the last two volumes are removed, then it is difficult to know that the original book still has these volumes without comparing them with other books. If there is no other way to do it, then it is very easy to ignore the parts that have been removed. This method of damaging documents is very subtle, and sometimes it is more harmful than destruction, because destruction is to erase all the information contained in the document, while extraction is to distort information to a certain extent.
Jiaqing Palace Fire: This matter is also related to Qianlong. Qianlong loved to collect Song edition books, and during his reign, he widely collected rare books from the Song and Yuan dynasties, a total of more than 400 kinds, and placed them in the Zhaoren Palace, which was called "Tianlu Linlang". In the second year of Jiaqing, the Qianqing Palace caught fire, and the Zhaoren Hall was burned at the same time, and the books stored in Tianlu Linlang were burned and disappeared. In order to comfort the emperor, the imperial court collected a batch of books, which were more than the number of the day before yesterday, but in fact, they were mainly engraved copies of the Ming and Qing dynasties, rather than rare books of the Song and Yuan dynasties. In 1924, Feng Yuxiang organized an inventory of the cultural relics of the Qing Palace, only to find that the Tianlu Linlang collection of books had long been out of the Song Dynasty.
Taiping Rebellion: The Taiping Rebellion was of the nature of a religious war, during which the Wenhui Pavilion in Yangzhou and the Wenzong Pavilion in Zhenjiang were burned and no paper was left. Hangzhou Wenlan Pavilion was overturned, and the "Four Library Books" flowed into the people, but fortunately the bibliophiles Ding Shen and Ding Bing brothers rescued them and did not destroy them all. Zhang Xiumin's "History of Chinese Printing": "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising, the war in the south for many years, Yangzhou Wenhui Pavilion and Zhenjiang Jinshan Wenzong Pavilion "Siku Quanshu" were completely destroyed, Hangzhou Wenlan Pavilion "Siku Quanshu" is also incomplete, other folk book losses are particularly huge, and ordinary scholars lack reading books. ”
Burning the Old Summer Palace: In the tenth year of Xianfeng, the British and French forces captured Beijing and burned the Old Summer Palace. Wenyuan Pavilion's "Four Libraries of the Whole Book" and the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book" of the Flavor Book House were destroyed in one fell swoop.
16. Gengzi Incident: In the 26th year of Guangxu, the Qing army and the Boxers besieged the embassies of various countries in Dongjiaomin Lane, and burned the Hanlin Courtyard next to the embassy in order to force out the trapped foreigners. The Englishman Pnant Weir "The Gengzi Embassy is Besieged": "The Hanlin Academy is Oxford, Cambridge, Heidelberg, and Paris in the eighteen provinces of China, and the most revered by Chinese scholars. The courtyard is lined up in rows, all of which are the painstaking words of the predecessors, all of which are hand-copied, and there are tens of millions of volumes. All writings are passed down from generation to generation, and the year is unknown. There are also unpainted wooden frames, as far as the eye can see, and all of them are stacked with carved wooden boards. …… In the midst of the fierce gunfire, the fire was thrown in, and people did not know it, and this sacred place had already risen on the flames. …… Priceless words were also burned, and the dragon-style pools and wells were littered with letters and abandoned by people. …… There are gorgeous books with silk faces, all of which are hand-ordered. There are also words written by good scholars, all of which have been moved at will. Those who study Chinese literature in the embassy see so many precious books, all of which they can never see in ordinary times, and their hearts cannot bear it, and they all want to choose and carry them, and they all rush from the fire to find them. But the way was blocked by the sailors, and it was commanded not to plunder books, and those who covered them were worth gold. However, there are still a few who steal it. In the future, it is not uncommon for Chinese lost writing to appear in Europe. "Countless precious books were lost in this incident, especially the original of the "Yongle Canon", the "Siku Quanshu" and the "Siku Quanshu" that were not collected.
The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression: The loss of literature caused by Japan's war of aggression against China is incalculable, to name just one example. In 1932, the "January 28" incident, the Japanese army attacked Shanghai, bombed the Commercial Press, the General Administration Office of Commerce, the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 Printing Houses, the Paper Warehouse, the Book Stack, Shanggong Primary School and the Oriental Library. Later, the Japanese ronin broke into the Oriental Library again and set fire to the books. More than 460,000 rare books and other Chinese and foreign books in the museum have been turned into paper ashes and floated all over the sky of Shanghai.
The Commercial Press that was bombed during the 128 Incident during the Japanese invasion of China.
The most deplorable thing is that the Oriental Library has a total collection of 460,000 volumes, including more than 3,700 rare and ancient books, with a total of more than 35,000 volumes; More than 2,600 kinds of local chronicles in China, with a total of 25,000 volumes, were all burned, and the library, which was known as the first library in East Asia at that time, suddenly disappeared overnight, and the priceless rare and unique books have since disappeared, which cannot but be said to be a major catastrophe in the history of Chinese culture.
The reason why the Japanese army wanted to blow up the Commercial Press was that the commander of the Japanese Marine Corps, Koichi Shiozawa, said very clearly: "If you burn down a few streets in Zhabei, you can restore it in a year and a half." Only by burning down the Commercial Press, China's most important cultural institution, it will never be restored. ”
After modern wars, this kind of thing is even more numerous.
