Mr. Lu Ming drank the tea depressedly, feeling very unwilling, and after a cup of tea was eaten, he smiled and said: "In the past two years, the old man has sorted out some lost manuscripts, and occasionally gained, especially the Sui and Tang dynasties, which need to be re-edited, fill in the words and sentences, have you heard of Liu Mengde's "Burrow?" ”

When everyone heard the name Liu Mengde, they couldn't help but cheer up, this person was the 'poet' Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yuxi left many poems and works, catchy, who doesn't know?

Now hearing Mr. Lu Ming talk about this triumphantly, many people can't help but look at Mr. Lu Ming with eyes full of admiration, looking very surprised.

Was this Mr. Lu Ming quietly sorting out Liu Yuxi's articles and poems? If so, that's a great thing.

The manuscripts of the ancients were actually very messy, after all, at that time, there was no too prosperous printing industry, and some people wrote books, most of them just treasured them themselves, or had some poems, and copied a few copies to give to relatives and friends, even if they were celebrities, his poems and articles were just copied by everyone.

It's just that after the two Han Dynasty, paper became popular, although paper is easy to write, but it is not easy to preserve, which leads to the fact that the manuscripts of many celebrities in ancient times have been lost, only their names are heard, but they don't know what kind of work they are, or even if there are famous works, but because the manuscripts that have been handed down are passed down by word of mouth, many places use wrong words, and even an article has only the upper section but no lower section, this situation is very common.

It's just that the works of these predecessors are only allowed to be unwritten, or full of mistakes and omissions, it is really a pity.

This is the loss of the album.

Faced with such a situation, when Emperor Wen was in power, he began to collect all kinds of ancient collections left by the people on the grounds of fabricating the Yongle Canon, as well as the unique copies of various articles, hoping to collect them all and compile them into a book, and sort out and revise those places that are 'full of errors'.

Just like an article of a famous person in ancient times, it is natural that someone will copy and preserve, but because it is a copy, the article copied by everyone may be different, at this time, it is a test of the level of the person who sorts out the information, you have to understand which one is the most suitable for the celebrity's experience, and you need to be proficient in the person's grammar, that is, you must not only be proficient in history, but also need to have a deep foundation in poetry and articles, and even have enough patience to make the most favorable judgment.

For example, the same celebrity, in a transcribed album wrote a poem 'Monk knocking on the door under the moon', but in another version that has been handed down is 'Monk pushing the moon under the door', the same poem, but because it is just a word change, not only the meaning is completely different, but the artistic conception has also changed greatly, but how can we determine which one is the original intention of the original author? In addition to having strong appreciation skills, you can probably see which word is better, and at the same time, you must also consider the time and place when the original author wrote the poem, because the words used in the poem may be completely different at different times and places, and the author's situation is different.

Therefore, the compilation of the Yongle Canon, almost all the strength of the whole country, at that time the world's most famous genius Xie Jin made the editor-in-chief, and convened countless celebrities and Confucians, it took many years to finally achieve a small success.

What Mr. Lu Ming just said is more high-end, that is, to supplement some lost articles, if Li Bai has a poem, called the bright moonlight in front of the bed, condensed like frost on the ground, raised his head to look at the bright moon, and then ...... No, there are only three lines of the poem that has been handed down, but the last one is missing.

So later people will start to supplement this poem, but how easy is it to supplement? On the one hand, you have to combine the previous text, on the other hand, people are poets, how dare ordinary people be ashamed to give him a dog's tail mink?

Mr. Lu Ming said a word, the reason why the whole house was shocked, is for this reason, he said that he has been reorganizing an article of Liu Yuxi for the past two years, this tone is very big, Liu Yuxi is one of the most famous writers in the Tang Dynasty, and there are indeed many scattered works that have been handed down, most of them have a head and no tail, or a tail without a head, where do ordinary people dare to try to sort out and supplement, after all, the level is very limited, where do they dare to compare with their predecessors?

Since Mr. Lu Ming has opened his mouth, with his reputation, I am afraid that he has already achieved something, and since he dares to say it in court, he must also feel proud and think that his sequel is well organized, if so, then it is very remarkable.

Even Wang Hua couldn't help but look sideways and said, "Oh, is that "Burrow Ming"? The old man also knows a little bit about it, it is said that only half a sentence has been handed down, and he wants to sort it out, but he is afraid that it is not easy, and there are no other manuscripts that have been circulated in the world to supplement. ”

The others bowed their heads one after another, and their admiration for Mr. Lu Ming was even stronger, and they didn't dare to underestimate it anymore.

Ye Chunqiu, who seemed relatively quiet on the side, couldn't help but muttered in his heart: ""The Burrow"? How could "The Burrow" be an out-of-print article? I clearly remember that this article has entered the textbook in later generations, isn't it ......?"

He thought of a possibility, the lost articles will generally be supplemented in two ways, one is archaeological discoveries, such as the Tang Dynasty article was lost, Ken Neng left only a few words in the Ming Dynasty, but after the Qing Dynasty, it was suddenly excavated from the tomb of the predecessors, so although this Tang Dynasty article has long been published, but the time when it can really see the light of day may be after the Qing Dynasty; Or although this article only left a few words, but it has been carefully researched by a famous research expert, supplemented and sorted, and finally edited according to the style and thoughts of the original author.

The more Ye Chunqiu thought about it, the more incredible he felt, but this phenomenon was very common, Ye Chunqiu had gradually integrated into this era and become a scholar, how could he not understand the joints?

So although the people present are full of expectations for Mr. Lu Ming's so-called editing work, Ye Chunqiu's mood is very calm, I know the whole text, who is rare about your editing?

Mr. Lu Ming didn't know what Ye Chunqiu was thinking, everyone's reaction had already been included in his eyes, and the smile on his face was even stronger, and he said: "Yes, Liu Mengde's "Burrow Ming" is shocking at the beginning, but it has a head and no tail, in the past hundred years, there are no other manuscripts in circulation, the old man looks at it as a pity, so he is only edited, and it can be regarded as a continuation of the dog's tail, and it is also ashamed." ”
