Chapter 298: The Heirloom Book in the Tomb of the Marquis of Haidu

"Senior Brother Chen!"

"Senior Brother Chen!"

"Over there in the Bamboo Slip Research Room, some bamboo slips have been restored!"

"Good guys, it's full of exciting content!"

"There are not only "Qi Analects", but also many pre-Qin classics, as well as the recitals written by the Marquis of Haiyang to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty!"

Early in the morning, Chen Han, who was still catching up on sleep, was woken up by Zhuang Yunpeng from the bed.

Today is a rare day off, and Chen Han originally wanted to have a good day off.

Unexpectedly, he was not given the opportunity to sleep lazily.

It's just that the news brought by Zhuang Yunpeng is really exciting.

After getting up from the bed and putting on a coat for himself, Chen Han didn't have time to wash, so he followed Zhuang Yunpeng and ran to the Jian Mu research room.

The current archaeological base of Haiduhou has been built very completely, just like a scientific research base.

The dormitory is not far from the laboratory building.

On the way, Zhuang Yunpeng kept chattering and introduced: "In the document archive of the main coffin room of the Marquis of Haidu, a total of more than 5,200 slips have been found."

"It's just that the preservation of the slips was poor when they were unearthed, and according to current statistics, the intact scripts are less tithe."

"After the Institute of Unearthed Literature of Peking University and the JX Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology started the sorting of the bamboo slips, it was preliminarily judged that the bamboo slips were basically ancient books, and more than 500 bamboo slips were related to the administrative affairs and etiquette of the Changyi Kingdom and the Haiyang Marquis.

"And there are more than 60 pieces of wood, the contents of which are not only books, but also official documents."

"The classics that have been sorted out can now be divided into the six arts, the Book of Rites, the Book of Filial Piety, the Analects and the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhuzi category, the poetry and Fu category, the six Bo, the mathematics category, the Fang Technique category, and the documents!"

"Among them, the more important ones are the lost "Qi Analects", as well as the lost "Fangzhong", "health", and "medical prescriptions".

"There are also several never-before-seen types of mathematics, among which there is a number book "Yi Zhan" that uses the Book of Changes as a daily auspicious and evil miscellaneous!"

In addition, there are more than 50 bamboo slips in the Haiduan slips that are close to the genre of "political commentary", and most of them are well preserved and the handwriting is clear. Two braided ropes, each containing 32 words!"

"Jianwen advocates the use of light and meager endowments, the use of military force, the rule of benevolence and righteousness, and opposes the "poison and punishment of the law" and the tyranny of extortion."

"The brief article takes Zhou and Qin as examples, pointing out that Zhou ruled the world with righteousness and lived for six or seven hundred years, while Qin used "poison and torture to punish the law, and the second was punished to death in the world".

"This is in line with the purpose of the political treatises of the Western Han Dynasty, and the ideology is close to Confucianism."

"It is worth noting that there are several references to the phrase "Spring and Autumn Sayings" in the Simplified Text, but the quoted sentences are not found in this "Spring and Autumn Classic"! This shows that there is a difference between the current "Spring and Autumn" and the ancient "Spring and Autumn"!"

Every word Zhuang Yunpeng said was big news!

"Qi Analects", this is a legendary classic, it is a lost thing!

Isn't the Analects always there, everyone can see it now, so why do you say it's a "lost thing"?

In fact, in the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, there were three versions of the Analects.

Namely: "Qi Theory", "Lu Theory" and "Ancient Theory".

The Analects we read today is the version of Zhang Yu, Marquis of Anchang in the late Western Han Dynasty, based on the Lu Analects, the Ancient Analects, and combined with the Qi Analects.

The biggest difference between "Qi Lun" and the other two versions is that there are two more articles, one is "Ask the King" and the other is "Know".

Unfortunately, according to some relevant literary and historical records, the "Qi Lun" has been lost during the Han and Wei dynasties.

In other words, the Qi version of the Analects has never been read since the Han and Wei dynasties.

Among them, "Ask the King" and "Know" have been completely lost, and they have not even been cited.

However, during the restoration of the bamboo slips in the tomb of the Marquis of Haidu, a classic called "Knowing" was found!

Isn't this the "knowing chapter" in the "Analects of Qi"!

The rediscovery of this lost classic is a cultural surprise for Chinese civilization!

Other findings are equally important.

The literary classics of the pre-Qin period, such as the Book of Rites, the Book of Filial Piety, the Doctrine of Zhuzi, and the Poetry Fu, each of which is of great significance to modern people to understand the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when a hundred schools of thought contended.

In particular, those political essays are completely from the perspective of the Han Dynasty to argue the gains and losses of the failure of Zhou and Qin in their eyes.

It can be said that these political theories are the political ideas of the politicians of the Han Dynasty, and they are the political essence of that era!

These works can give modern people a good understanding of the society and political thought of the Han Dynasty!

It can be said that if you understand these political theories, you will be able to understand the political outlook of the Western Han Dynasty and the governing policy of the Western Han people!

It's so important!

And those things like health preservation, disease treatment, and room surgery are also very valuable.

These books record the level of medicine in the Western Han Dynasty, as well as the early treatment methods of Chinese medicine!

Although it is said that many people at home and abroad have opinions on Chinese medicine, they feel that Chinese medicine is dross, unscientific, and a scam.

But it is undeniable that the Chinese civilization, since the pre-Qin period of antiquity, has far surpassed any other continent in the world!

Compare the whole of Europe, which is the same size as China.

Before the establishment of modern medicine, the population of the whole of Europe was only as large as the population of Jiangnan during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The disparity in population is definitely not just due to war.

There has never been a shortage of wars in China.

The plague in China has never been less.

When the Black Death broke out in the West, there was also the plague in China.

When the plague in China was severe, it also affected several provinces, or even half a country!

However, the mortality rate of the population in China is definitely not as high as in the West.

This relies on the traditional Chinese medicine that the Chinese people have been studying since the time when Shennong tasted a hundred herbs!

It is the vigorous development of Chinese medicine that has made China have a population of tens of millions in BC, and a population of more than 100 million in a few hundred years AD!

For TCM practitioners, they may not know why the prescription they prescribe is able to cure diseases.

But they can be sure that according to such a prescription, the patient who drinks it will indeed be cured.

This is called empirical medicine.

Although it cannot be compared with modern medicine, in ancient times, it was definitely beaten by Western bloodletting therapy and blind eating therapy.

In the 14th and 15th centuries, the king of England was sick and had to undergo bloodletting therapy, and had to induce vomiting, and then poured all kinds of messy things, and finally the illness was not cured, but he was bloodlet and eaten indiscriminately, and finally tortured to death!

This kind of thing, in the Western Han Dynasty of China BC, is unimaginable!

And these medical books from the Western Han Dynasty can lead modern people to see the treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine in BC!
