Chapter 386: Secretary Chen of the Library

As Chen Zhi walked, the many books around him seemed to be in harmony with him, conveying a harmonious taste. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is the core of the secretary province, which is the East Garden Pavilion, and the West Garden Pavilion is called the East and West Gardens, which is the place of the royal book collection.

In this era, and even later, books and knowledge are the carriers of humanity and the key to inheriting civilization, but frequent wars have caused this carrier to be damaged from time to time.

The ancestral dragon Qin Emperor burned books and pit Confucianism, countless collections were burned, and future generations could not help but feel heartache when they remembered, and it was not easy to spread the previous slips, and the paper books were easy to be damaged, and the difficulty of copying them, the shackles of transmission, so that books were precious at this time.

Ordinary families also have their own places to collect books, which are used for family heirlooms, and if there is a collection of books in a poor family, they will often be used as treasures for future generations to practice.

Royal Nature is no exception.

In addition, there were many wars in the Central Plains, among which the damage to books and slips made many people feel heartache, and they kept writing books to remind the imperial court.

Therefore, from the two Han Dynasty in the previous two Han Dynasty, the Han court often issued edicts asking for books, and there were special institutions and manpower to be sent out to collect the books and books that were scattered abroad, and at the same time, there were institutions such as the secretary province to sort out and collect them.

Therefore, the value of this royal library is extremely high, and the position of secretary and supervisor is also seen by many as an opportunity for further learning.

Chen Zhi is no exception.

At this time, he walked past the rows of bookshelves, his eyes swept over the books on the shelves, and the corresponding content flashed in his heart.

In the past six months, he has been a secretary and supervisor, and he has spent a lot of time in it, and he has used this time to read the books here from beginning to end.

Of course, this is just a matter of seeing, not understanding and understanding.

The royal collection of books is vast, and its content is all-encompassing, involving many different fonts and languages, which is much more than the books memorized by the bookworms of the Wang family!

It is no wonder that this is an entire dynasty, using the power of the state, to inherit the heritage of hundreds of years.

Even if it has been damaged and lost after war, its total amount is huge, and there are many loyal and righteous people, regardless of the threat of swords and soldiers, regardless of their own lives, to come forward to defend it.

In addition, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, the princes who were divided, except for one or two people, were all from families, educated by the nobility, and knew the preciousness of the slips and books.

Under the combined effect of these factors, the number of books in the East and West Gardens of the New Han Dynasty is huge, and many of them are precious and unique books, which are difficult to find outside, and can only be collected and protected with the administrative power of the state.

With such an accumulation, even if Chen Zhi spent half a year, it was impossible to understand it thoroughly, but he knew very well that he would not stay here for too long, so he seized the opportunity to memorize all the contents of the books in the library before he was transferred and left.

Yes, relying on Chen Zhi's ability to almost remember the books, he has read through all the books in the collection by sorting out and summarizing the books, and has memorized most of the contents in his heart.

This kind of memory is a swallowing of dates, so Chen Zhi must slowly transform these memories like he had comprehended and studied the books in his heart before.

At the same time as he memorized, he also sorted out and summarized the originally messy books, according to the major categories of the subset of scriptures and history, according to the division of hundreds of schools, and followed the order of time before and after, and rearranged the layout of the book collection place, making it more intuitive and easier to search, and there are documents as evidence, if there is a book missing, it can also be quickly detected.

But for these changes, people who know it don't think it's strange, because Chen Zhi is good at sorting out this, and he has long been famous, whether it is Qingxu and Xuzhou, or in the Taile Department and Honglu Temple, he has shown his hand, and he will do it again in the secretary province, and others will only think it is what it should be.

However, there is also a group of people who are quite concerned about this, because this group of people clearly wants to organize the collection of books according to their own experience, and classify them, so that people who have not read or understood can quickly find the corresponding books and slips, and how deep the foundation is needed.

This group of people is a great Confucian, a great scholar, a university scholar, and a great master with rich experience and knowledge.

To put it simply, you have to read it at least once and be familiar with the content before you can do it, which is also the difficulty of compiling books since ancient times.

But normal people, their reading is pitiful, can read 10,000 words, 100,000 words, can be said to be a Boren, if it is a million words, that is a person who knows wisdom, to sort out a national library, library, and even compile a large canon, then the amount of reading involved, can be said to be appalling, in the past, if you want to sort out such a collection, how can you use more than 100 people, convene scholars from all walks of life, in order to succeed.

Recently, it was rumored that Chen Zhi was going to compile a classic, but not many people believed it, but on the contrary, he rearranged and summarized most of the classics in the East and West Gardens, which has been seen by many people with their own eyes, and it is an irrefutable fact, so there are many grandmaster-level figures who come to consult-

These two gardens are the royal library, and they are not easily open to outsiders, but there are exceptions, that is, those who are truly famous, the elders.

Xinhan rules the world with filial piety, and is very respectful to the elderly, and in order to collect talents, there are many special systems, such as the viewing qualification of the royal collection is one of them. Therefore, many scholars who could not be invited to become scholars had to be attracted under this system.

In addition to facing the consultation and questioning of the emperor and various ministers, many officials of the secretary province also had an important action, that is, to receive and meet the requests and requirements of those old people who asked questions from universities.

Due to the characteristics of the new Han dynasty, all those who can come to the secretary province to apply for the reading of the rest are not ordinary people, either they have been high-ranking officials in the past, or they are protégés and former officials are high-ranking people, and they must have one thing in common, that is, the name of learning is like a ship, and they are recognized as the masters of learning!

Such characters, usually can't be invited, they are willing to come over to browse the royal collection, the royal family is actually unwanted!

However, the royal collection of books is precious, and it is still not allowed to be taken out of the two gardens, so these university scholars will stay in the secretary's province when they are watching, on the one hand, they are here to read books, and on the other hand, when there is a relevant need and want to consult other books, they can inquire in time, which is also a job of the secretary's provincial information.

In the past, there were many grandmasters, after obtaining permission, after going through certain procedures, entering the two gardens to find the books they needed, and then quickly finding their targets by asking the scribes inside.

However, although the scribe is on an errand here, even if he must figure out the general layout of the library in order to be proficient in his business, it is still a tedious task to exceed one book or one scroll from the countless collections according to the instructions of the grandmaster.

If the grandmaster needs a specific work, then it is like choosing one of the stones by the stream, and there are not a few people looking for it together, I am afraid that I will not be able to find it for a few days, and this is still in the case of familiarity with the general layout - this is the royal library after all, although there is no scientific classification and induction, but it also has its own set of sorting system.

But in fact, picking one out of many books is an easy task, because it is a painful task to put forward a vague concept, or to describe a text that needs a general idea.

It's like some grandmasters came here to find a reference or basis for the work they are writing, so they are likely to ask for something with "the rule of three generations", "the study of the Mohists", "Lao Zhuang's commentary" and so on.

This is not only to find, but also to understand, otherwise it took several hours and many people to find out the content, but it does not meet the requirements, and the result is undoubtedly more uncomfortable.

It's just that when Chen Zhi came over, the situation was a little different.

At first, the grandmasters who came here were a little unhappy about the replacement of the secretary and supervisor, because Huang Si, who was on an errand, did have two brushes and his own advantages, otherwise he would not be able to sit in such a position, for those grandmasters who came to find the classics, a secretary and supervisor who was familiar with the classics could undoubtedly save a lot of trouble and effort.

As soon as people in this position change, they have to worry about things that affect them.

But what happened next surprised them, because it only took Chen Zhi a few days to identify the books everywhere, and it took a month to roughly sort out the books, and in three months, the general classification was determined. Now half a year has passed, and there are rumors that he is going to compile a canon!

Others may not believe it, but those grandmasters who come here often know that there is nothing to come from, not necessarily without a cause, besides, they have already learned the power of Chen Zhi, no matter what classics they ask, what kind of literature they want to find, as long as they ask Chen Zhi, he doesn't even need to get it himself, just give an order, and people can send the books and slips they need!

In addition, Chen Zhi himself is a treasure trove, sometimes you don't need to look for classics at all, you can get the words you want from his mouth, so that in recent times, those grandmasters who are difficult to see by others often come over to talk to Chen Zhi, but they often call one or two small servants to record what Chen Zhi said.

It's like the old man in front of him, the grandmaster of Taoism and metaphysics, Guo Xiang.
