Looking at the slightly declining royal city in front of him, thinking of its former prosperity and luxury, Zhao Jie couldn't help but occupy a poem: "The king of Youwang has fun and lost his sect of Zhou, and the king of Ping moved east to Luoyi." The king's anger has been lost and breathless, and he has stood by and watched the chaos in the world. Qi, Jin, Chu, and Qin dominated the Central Plains, and the trembling Son of Heaven did not dare to fight. Reaching the world is a shortcut, and the soldiers are constantly poor in people. The king of Wei, Mengjin, lost face, and the king of Qin was demoralized. The hundred-year-old city is now in decay, and the thousand-year-old dynasty is in decline. The heroes and heroes are all in the past, and the romantic characters look at the present. โ
"Good sentence! Good article! Good spirit! As soon as Zhao Jie's subdued words fell, there were voices of praise behind him. When Zhao Jie heard this, he looked back and saw an old man in his fifties and sixties walking slowly towards him.
"When the old man heard what his son said, he seems to have the heart to make a contribution, can you tell me where to take a job?" The old man walked up to Zhao Jie and asked cordially.
Zhao Jie bowed his hand and said: "The people of the rivers and lakes, the people of the grasslands, no officials and no positions, wandering the world!" โ
"Where did that boy come from, and who is his name?" The old man continued to ask in an approachable manner.
Although Zhao Jie didn't know why, he still replied respectfully: "The person in Handan, the lower Zhao Kingdom, is surnamed Zhao Mingmo. "Now, the word Zhao Jie already belongs to the fake Zhao State proton who went to the Qin State, Zhao Jie naturally can't use it anymore, and changing his name again has become Zhao Jie's only choice." My father once said: A hundred words are not as good as a silence, so I took this name. Zhao Jie added: "The meaning is that it is better to say a thousand words than to do things silently. โ
"It seems that Ling Zun is also a great talent, not a great name." Hearing this, the old man became interested in Zhao Jie and continued to ask.
"My father is a foreigner, living in the grass and wilderness, hidden in the mountains, and his reputation is not obvious, so my husband doesn't need to know." Zhao Jie saluted again and said apologetically. As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jie remembered that he didn't know the old man's name, and then asked again: "I haven't asked Mr. yet." "The old man's surname is Tang Mingyuan, and the ancestor is after the Jin Dynasty Wen Gong Chong'er, after the three families were divided, the family settled in Cheng Zhou, and settled down." The old man smiled and said: "Childe is really a wonderful person, he has an appetite for the old man, I don't know if the old man can become friends with the child." โ
"Mr. Fairy Wind Dao Bone, the kid is shallow, and he dares to disobey his fate!" Zhao Jie felt that the old man was extraordinary, so he continued to say modestly.
"How about I invite Childe into the city for a drink?" The old man continued to invite Zhao Jiedao. Zhao Jie replied with a respectful smile: "It was my honor at that time! โใ
After speaking, Zhao Jie entered the thousand-year-old capital of Chengzhou City under the leadership of the old man.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Walking into Chengzhou City, turning a few corners, entering an alley, and finally, the old man stopped in front of a huge mansion. "The old man usually lives here on weekdays, and this is my home." The old man pointed to the mansion and said.
Zhao Jie followed the old man's finger when he heard this, and saw a plaque hanging on the door beam of the mansion, with the words "Guarding Room" written on it.
Since ancient times, whether it is Xia, Shang, or even Zhou, books have been given a lofty status. "I Ching" cloud: "The river produces a map, Luo produces a book, and the sage is a book", which shows the status of books in history. Therefore, it is natural that all dynasties have attached great importance to the collection, sorting and use of books and classics at the national level. The Shang Dynasty had serious superstition in theocracy, and the state specially opened a place to preserve the oracle bone inscriptions for future reference; The Zhou Dynasty also needed to keep the "Great Training", "Hetu" and historical records, as well as the policy program of the imperial court in a fixed place, and the Tibetan room that left a name in the history is such a place.
The main nature of the storage room in the Zhou Dynasty was roughly like a complex of museums and libraries in later generations, which was used to keep documents and archives. At the same time, the Zhou Dynasty also set up a full-time official position to manage the collection of classics - the history of the collection room, and the famous Lao Tzu once held this position, and completed his philosophical speculation and summary here.
"The storage room is the place where Zhou's books are stored, is the old gentleman here to be high." Zhao Jie asked suspiciously.
The old man nodded when he heard this, and then said, "How about taking a look with me?" I thought that the world's number one book collection would be an eye-opener for you! โ
"I don't dare to ask for ears!" Zhao Jie suddenly said in surprise when he heard this: "Knowing the old gentleman today is a great blessing in Mo's life!" โ
After speaking, Zhao Jie gave some instructions to Zhao Yin and the others, and then calmly walked into the mysterious and desirable Zhou Dynasty guard room with the old man.
Walking into the mansion, walking eight or nine steps, before seeing the treasures in the storage room, I have already smelled the aroma of treasures bamboo and wood, and heard the sound of the bells and chimes of treasures. Then I stepped into one room after another, and I saw that the room was full of books, and the books (็ฎง, that is, small boxes made of bamboo) were all over the floor.
"These three rooms are filled with Taoist books." The old man pointed to the three rooms on the east side and said, "Lao Tzu's testament, Zhuangzi's articles, and all Taoist books are all here.
"The three rooms above are filled with Legalist texts." The old man pointed to the three rooms on the second floor on the east side and said, "Li Kui's "Code", Shang Ying's "Qin Law" and other classics are also available here.
"These three rooms are a record of the Zongheng family's experience." The old man pointed to the three rooms in the west and said, "Su Qin's theory of conspiracy, Zhang Yi's words of contemplation, and Gongsun Yan's alliance can be found. โ
"And the three rooms above it are preserved by the contemporary Confucian classics." The old man pointed to the three houses on the second floor on the west floor again and said, "Confucius's "Analects" and Zuo Qiu Ming's "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" are at your fingertips.
"And what's kept in these six rooms in front of us?" Zhao Jie asked, pointing to the two-story room in the east
"Good question, in the six houses below, the middle four are protected by all the classics of the Mo family, the essence of the Mo family thought "Mozi" book, the essence of the Mo family culture "Sui Chaozi" book, the Mo family mechanism atlas, the Mo family system regulations and other books are here. As for the rooms on both sides of it, most of them put some discussions on peasants, miscellaneous families, and yin-yang families, which are also quite complete. As for the second floor, most of the protection is the imperial court history books, rules and regulations, national treasures, chimes and chimes and other things. The old man talked eloquently, which couldn't help but make Zhao Jie a little awe-inspired.
"In these books, except for the things on the second floor in the east, which are accumulated by the imperial court for thousands of years, most of the rest are old and decrepit." The old man proudly introduced.
