Chapter 297: The Altar Shakes [1 Update]
Looking at China, there are only a handful of families that have truly inherited more than a thousand years, that is, the Confucian family in Qufu, the Zhang family in Jiangxi, and even the Zhang family are hundreds of years behind the Confucian family.
In particular, the protection of the relics of the Confucian sages provides a natural guarantee for the inheritance of the Confucian family collection.
Walking between the bookshelves, the smell of books in the nose, many of which are mottled, fortunately, the Confucian family loves these classics very much, otherwise I don't know how many classics will disappear from the world for various reasons during this period.
Before the footsteps stopped at a bookshelf, the classics on it were even more damaged, Kong Wenzheng sighed on the side: "Most of the books stored in this place are classics from the Tang Dynasty, because of the long time, many of them have been damaged, fortunately, my Kong family will send special personnel to maintain and copy these classics with signs of damage, so that even if the original is damaged, at least there are copies." ”
Chu Yi bowed slightly, no matter what, the Confucian family's move still played a certain role in the protection of Chinese cultural inheritance.
Further on, there are scrolls of books made from bamboo slips, and even these bamboo slips look quite old, and the color of those bamboo slips is extremely dull.
Yan Qi pointed to the bamboo slips that occupied a large area and said: "These are the classics of the Qin and Han dynasties collected by the two families, but these bamboo slips are also seriously damaged, fortunately, the content has been copied and preserved by the ancestors, and not many people have read these bamboo slips." ”
Chu Yi sighed lightly: "There will always be wars in China every hundreds of years, I don't know how many classics have disappeared in the war, the Confucian family has preserved many classics, including classics involving agriculture, medicine, astronomy and geography, etc., Chu will send someone to sort out, copy, and engrave them in the future, so that they can be passed on to the world, and I hope that the Confucian family can open the door of convenience!" ”
Hearing this, Kong Wenzheng hurriedly said: "I heard that the chief manager likes to collect classics, and he also publishes many unique and rare books to benefit the world's students. ”
Don't think about it to know that Kong Wenzheng's words are definitely wrong, in this era, knowledge also represents identity, status, although these families are not as strict as in the past about the monopoly of knowledge, but many unique books, rare books are indeed in the hands of these long-term family members, never passed on to outsiders, regarded as a family heritage, China does not know how many precious classics are so broken inheritance, disappeared in the long river of history.
If you want these people to take out the unique classics in the family's secret collection and pass them on to the world, these people will be happy, but the Kong family does not dare to brush Chu Yi's meaning in the face of Chu Yi, although these classics are precious, but fortunately, Chu Yi does not want to print all the unique classics and pass them on to the world, but selects the classics of medicine, agriculture, astronomy, geography and other aspects to print.
Comparatively speaking, the people of the Confucian family naturally value those precious Confucian classics, as for these medical books, agricultural books, etc., they can be discarded compared to them, since they can gain Chu Yi's favor by paying some irrelevant classics, why not do such good things?
Chu Yi casually opened some classics, and the altar of luck in the sea of knowledge really had no reaction, needless to say that among these classics, even if many of them are named after the great Confucian sages, in fact, more of them were copied by later generations, as for the original handwriting of the sages, they were either hidden by the Confucian family, or they had already been destroyed in time.
Kong Wenzheng had been secretly paying attention to the changes in Chu Yi's expression, and seeing that Chu Yi had not shown any interest in these classics, this made Kong Wenzheng a little worried in his heart.
According to the information collected by the Kong family, Chu Yi was quite fond of many sage classics, so he specially led Chu Yi to this area.
There are many sage classics stored here, and Chu Yi took a lot from the bookshelf, but unfortunately Chu Yi just flipped through them casually and put them on the bookshelf, which made Kong Wenzheng very puzzled by Chu Yi's reaction.
Just when Kong Wenzheng was full of doubts, Chu Yi glanced at Kong Wenzheng and said: "Mr. Kong, the Confucian family has a thousand-year-old inheritance, and the poetry and books are heirlooms. ”
Kong Wenzheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, his face showed a little abruptness, and he understood in his heart that Chu Yi was not uninterested in these classics, but originally interested in the classics of the sages.
When it comes to the original classics of the sages, Kong Wenzheng naturally hesitated in his heart, but it was only a moment's work, and Kong Wenzheng made a decision.
As an elder of the Kong family, although it is a bit of a transgression to take people to watch the classics of the sages, if this person is Chu Yi, even if it is Kong Wenshao, the Holy Prince, will definitely not stop him.
Anyway, their Kong family has already made up their minds to entertain Chu Yi no matter what the price they pay, and they will definitely not shirk Chu Yi's requirements if they can do it.
Watching the original classics of the sages was just a loss, and there was no loss for the Kong family, so Kong Wenzheng made a decision in the blink of an eye.
With a smile on his face, Kong Wenzheng said to Chu Yi: "My Confucian family does have a collection of classics written by the sages themselves, but most of these classics are mottled and eroded by the years, and many of them have been broken to the limit. ”
Chu Yi's eyes narrowed, and he chuckled: "Oh, it seems that Chu doesn't have this eye blessing!" ”
Kong Wenzheng hurriedly said: "The chief manager laughed, with the erudition of the chief manager, there are few people in the world, and he is naturally qualified to look at the classics of the sages." ”
Kong Wenzheng smiled bitterly in his heart, if he hadn't reacted quickly, it would have been difficult for the chief manager to change his face when he said that he would change his face, for such a great god, their Kong family couldn't afford to provoke it at all. If Chu Yi is evil because of this problem, then he is the biggest sinner of the Kong family.
While speaking, Kong Wenzheng led the way to Chu Yi and said, "The chief manager, come with me!" ”
Chu Yi nodded slightly, and saw that Kong Wen was leading the way first, passing through a bookshelf, and saw that in the middle of the library, there was an incense case and a stone statue, just looking at the stone statue, Chu Yi could recognize at a glance that this was the statue of Confucius, the first saint of Confucianism.
Kong Wenzheng stepped forward and straightened his clothes, bowed respectfully to the statue, and then pressed one hand on the incense burner vigorously, and suddenly there was a slight vibration.
I saw the statue of Confucius move slowly, and an entrance about the size of a man appeared on the ground.
Chu Yi's library pavilion is not one or two, it can be said that the design of the secret room is almost the same, and most of the secret rooms are repaired under the library building.
Kong Wenzheng walked down the stone steps first, Chu Yi slowly entered with his hands behind his back, and at first glance Chu Yi found that this underground stone room was much larger than the Songyang Academy and the Zhu family's secret room he had seen, and the stone pillars supported the entire secret room, and the surrounding walls were made of bluestone.
However, this project is really nothing compared to the huge Confucian family, to be honest, after the successive dynasties, the Confucian family alone is no less than hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, and there are at least tens of thousands of tenants who rely on the Confucian family for a living, and they can easily gather thousands of young people to do things for the Confucian family.
However, when Chu Yi saw the many bamboo slips stored in this secret room, he also understood why the underground secret room of the Kong family was built so big.
There are too many of these bamboo slips, you must know that in the Spring and Autumn Period and even the Qin and Han dynasties, there is no silk paper, and the classics and works are recorded on the bamboo slips.
Sometimes a classic book needs tens of thousands of bamboo slips, piled together, and it takes half a room to fit it.
There is a saying that the sweat cow is full of buildings, and there are five cars of learning, which is said to be that these classics are recorded on the bamboo slips, and the storage and transportation are extremely labor-intensive and material-intensive.
It seems that this underground secret room has a vast space, but in fact, if you really want to talk about it, it can't store too much, after all, these bamboo slips occupy a lot of space.
Kong Wenzheng walked to a neatly arranged bamboo slip and said: "Chief Administrator, please see, this is the fragment of the "Spring and Autumn Period" compiled by the sages, which has been thousands of years old and has long been incomplete! ”
Chu Yi nodded slightly, but Chu Yi read poetry and books, which naturally included the books recorded by Confucius, Confucius taught all his life, there were many disciples, and there were seventy-two great sages, revising the Six Classics, but Confucius was more revision, Confucius said that he did not write, even "Spring and Autumn" was after Confucius's death, and his disciples and even his disciples sorted out the content of Confucius's lectures and summarized them.
None of the Six Confucian Classics, "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Music", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn" were written by Confucius, so Chu Yi never thought that he would be able to see the classics written by Confucius himself.
Of course, if what Kong Wenzheng said is true, and the incomplete "Spring and Autumn Period" in front of him is really written by Confucius's disciples and his followers, then this Spring and Autumn Period must contain great luck, after all, many of Confucius's disciples are sages and Confucians.
Slowly stepping forward, Chu Yi took one of the bamboo slips in his hand, and could see that the bamboo slips had lasted at least a thousand years, and even the handwriting on them was already a little blurred.
"Spring and Autumn", Lu Shiye, Lu Shi's book, Confucius recorded and hidden, in order to pass on the letter to future generations! In fact, such a history book has gone beyond the scope of history books and has been regarded as a Confucian classic by literati throughout the ages.
Just as Chu Yi took the bamboo slip in his hand and slowly spread it out, the handwriting on it came into view, and the Fortune Altar in the Sea of Consciousness shook slightly.
[The first one is sent, I didn't say it, there is a monthly pass to smash the monthly pass, as long as everyone supports, the fleas will continue to break out. ] 】
