"Yes." Zuo Youyou guessed, "Are we going to participate in the Chinese Ancient Books Protection Program?" ”

"It's not about participating." Bai Xinshu said, "This project is mainly to carry out the restoration of ancient books, and there are some problems that need the help of our ancient book experts. ”

Zuo Youyou was shy: "The expert is not enough, where am I embarrassed." ”

Bai Xinshu paused subtly, but did not speak.

When they arrived at the Ancient Books Museum, after several people signed in, each of them received a red "expert" brand. Only Zuo Youyou looked at his blue "staff" sign and wanted to cry without tears.

Bai Xinshu coughed: "Make good meeting minutes, this work is also very important." ”

Zuo Youyou raised a pair of dead fish eyes: "Thank you." Where it matters. ”

Bai Xinshu was speechless, blushing.

Lao Shi skillfully took Bai Xinshu's words and began to pour chicken soup: "This kind of meeting needs young people with professional background and experience to do it." You see that they don't have a professional background in ancient books, and they can't even understand what we're discussing, so how do they make meeting minutes, right? ”

Lao Shi helped Zuo Youyou save his respect, and Zuo Youyou reluctantly accepted this statement.

Zuo Youyou entered the conference room and sat down, and someone next to her called her. She looked up and smiled.

Chen Yanxi!

Chen Yanxi also attended the meeting, and when he saw Zuo Youyou, he immediately came to her side: "The restoration seminar of "The Complete Book of Facts and Literature" has been held several times, but I have no clue, and now I have finally invited you experts over, and there should be a result today." ”

Zuo Youyou was at a loss: "You speak slowly, I'll remember it...... What's the whole book? ”

"The Complete Book of Things." Chen Yanxi stretched out his hand and typed down this line on Zuo Youyou's computer, "It belongs to the special collection of rare books of the Qing Dynasty court." ”

Zuo Youyou had no choice but to turn on the computer and search for it, and put the background information aside.

In the Qing Dynasty court rare book collection, there is an ancient book called "The Complete Book of Matters and Literature", a total of 6 letters and 60 volumes, 47 volumes exist, which is the Fujian linen yarn towel box book at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, there was a preface by Xiong Qi, who was a jinshi in the same year as Liu Yingli, in the 11th year of Dade (1307).

Thanks to Chen Yanxi, Zuo Youyou was able to understand the content of the meeting in advance, otherwise, she might have dizzy just by reading the name of the book.

While I was secretly rejoicing, the meeting had already begun.

The leader of the ancient book restoration team of the Ancient Books Museum is speaking:

"At present, we have completed the restoration of several books, such as "Song Banyu Chapter", "Pei Zhen", "Song Ban Spring and Autumn Classics", "Mencius Yinyi", and "Song Banban Ma Zi Class...... However, due to the large volume of the "Complete Book of Essays and Texts", the situation of many volumes is not optimistic. ”

Wait, so many titles?

Zuo Youyou was dumbfounded.

She looked around, everyone nodded very knowingly, only she looked confused.

Zuo Youyou was heartbroken again.

WeChat rang. Zuo Youyou lowered his head and turned on his phone, and Bai Xinshu sent all the titles of the books he just mentioned.

Zuo Youyou quickly copied and pasted it as if he had obtained a treasure, and the minutes of the meeting barely stumbled on.

The head of the restoration team continued: "...... The reason for the uneven wrinkles on the surface of the book leaves before the repair is that the predecessors used the lining paper as a whole as a mending paper for repairing the moth-eaten book, and the book leaves and the backing paper were glued together through the paste at the moth-eaten place. Due to the difference in paper strength between the pulp and non-pulp applications, a large number of folds on the surface of the leaves are caused. ”

Zuo Youyou listened to it with a big head, and then heard the team leader say: "From another point of view, these folds are the repair marks left by the predecessors, and they are also the historical evidence that the "Complete Book of Matters and Literatures" has been repaired, so should the "Complete Book of Things" be rectified?" This issue needs to be discussed with colleagues in attendance. ”

In other words, although the ancients did not do a good job of repairing the "Complete Book of Things", the repair of this mistake itself is also a precious cultural relic, so the Ancient Books Museum couldn't make up its mind, and invited many experts to come over to discuss whether to repair it again.

Then, an argument broke out in the conference room.

These people competed to output their opinions, and Zuo Youyou suffered, and his fingers flew like flying on the keyboard, and his fingertips almost didn't catch fire.

To sum up, it is nothing more than two opinions.

On the one hand, it is believed that this kind of restoration traces are cultural relics after all, and the traces of operation left by predecessors are also part of history and should be preserved as archival materials;

The other side believes that the most important thing is to restore the leveling of the leaves. Since the leaves are uneven, it is inevitably difficult to read, and long-term storage on the shelves in a wrinkled state will lead to the deterioration of the preservation level of the book.

In the end, Bai Xinshu suggested from the perspective of ancient book editing: "No matter what ancient books, the first thing to consider is 'survival'. Whether we use government funding or self-funding, or promote the digitization and popularization of ancient books, it is fundamentally to solve the problem of the survival of ancient books. I think that there can be two before there is one. Survive first, then think about the rest. ”

The experts who were arguing on the field were not the same, but they could not refute it. After all, although everyone kept silent about the "survival" mentioned by Bai Xinshu, they all knew in their hearts that this was the biggest pain point of ancient book work.

Survive, and then talk about the rest.

Zuo Youyou thought to himself, it turns out that the boss is also such a direct person, no wonder he named the puppy "Fund".

What Zuo Youyou didn't know was that Bai Xinshu's outspoken way was still learned from Zuo Youyou. As Zuo Youyou's work quickly and excellently, Bai Xinshu felt more and more that Zuo Youyou's way of "a gentleman taking the straight road" was more effective than anything else.

Moreover, Zuo Youyou is right, money is money, isn't it money?

Ancient books are elegant, and people who make ancient books must not be elegant. The soul is thousands of miles in the air, and the body must keep flying on the ground.

So, Bai Xinshu, who was so noisy, simply sacrificed this trick and successfully interrupted everyone's train of thought with the word "survive".

It is not an exaggeration to say that the meeting is a hooligan.

It worked, and the atmosphere in the room was quiet, and the topic of discussion turned straight away.

Fortunately, the direction of this time is finally clear, and the two sides no longer talk back and forth, but come to the final conclusion:

"Ancient books should extend their life as much as possible, which is the purpose of the current ancient book protection work. Therefore, it was finally decided to rectify the book, and at the same time make an archive of the appearance restored by the predecessors in the form of photos and written records. ”

Bai Xinshu added: "Huaxia Shulin is planning a joint project with an Internet company to carry out an online ancient book resource library, at which time, the restored archives of predecessors can be included in the online platform for colleagues to recourse." ”

The venue immediately burst into warm applause, and the participating colleagues praised the spirit of cooperation of Huaxia Shulin.

Only Zuo Youyou was shocked by Bai Xinshu's shamelessness.
