Is the Yongle Grand Ceremony of the Ming Dynasty really lost? What book is it?

In the 5th year of Yongle, 1407, 165438+ 10, the Yongle ceremony was finally completed. This book contains more than seven or eight thousand kinds of books from the pre-Qin period to the early Ming Dynasty, 1 1095 volumes, 22,877 coupons and 370 million words. They are all copied by hand word by word. Its contents include classic subsets, astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medical skills, divination, Tibetan Buddhism, Taoism, drama, technology and agriculture. Covering the intellectual wealth of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, it is not just a book, but a pyramid in the history of Chinese civilization. Sadly, there are only more than 400 volumes at present, and more than 95% of the contents have been lost. Let's talk about how our ancestors compiled this masterpiece first! ! Judy accurately judged that Jie Jin could be the editor-in-chief of The Grand Ceremony of Yongle, so in the first year of Yongle 1403, he solemnly handed this brilliant and exhausting work to Jie Jin. His request is that there have been hundreds of sayings in the subset of classics and history since the book was signed. As for astronomical geography, yin and yang medicine divination and Buddhist skills, don't be tired of being integrated into one book.

At that time, information was underdeveloped, and books were easily lost even if they were published. Many people read books such as novels, but few people pay attention to some academic books, such as the subset of classics and history. This is almost the same as it is now, and I have lost my skills. Some books are not handed down from generation to generation, but more like secrets in martial arts novels, hidden in the mountains and forests, unknown. To collect these books requires a lot of money, manpower and material resources, so although there are revisions of books in every dynasty, the number of official books is limited. What Judy wants to repair is neither a book nor a book. What he wants to learn is an encyclopedia covering all ages and containing all knowledge and wealth.

This is not only culture, but also the embodiment of comprehensive strength including economy and culture, and a symbol of a country's self-confidence and strength. Put on a big fight. This battle is really big. It fully embodies the comprehensive national strength of the Ming Dynasty. First of all, Judy sent five Hanlin bachelors as presidents, not the company presidents we are talking about today. These five men, headed by Jing Wong, are all knowledgeable people. In addition, there are 20 officials appointed as vice presidents in imperial academy, all of whom are famous scholars. In addition, Judy also issued a general mobilization order nationwide to gather all people of insight. It doesn't matter whether you are old or young, poor or rich, lame or a kidnapper. As long as you can move your head and walk, you will all gather together to edit, which is probably equivalent to our editor today.

It's not over yet. Judy has put all her eggs in one basket and must strive for perfection. He searched for people with certain abilities in counties all over the country. This ability is not learning, so what kind of person is he looking for? The answer is someone who writes well. Because I was writing a whole book, I had to find a lot of information, and I needed someone to copy it after I found it. Since it is a book compiled by the Ming empire, it is natural to be decent and the handwriting must be beautiful and clear. If you want to find someone who scribbles like me and can only type in front of the computer every day, don't say Judy doesn't like it, even I will feel ashamed myself. In that year, if you don't write well, you will be embarrassed to say hello to others.

In addition to the above-mentioned personnel, Judy also sent an assistant to Jie Jin to edit the book with him. This man says he is a helper, but in fact he should be a supervisor, and this supervisor is Yao. Judy's determination to put such a heavyweight beside Jie Jin can be imagined. When Judy took on this super-luxury lineup with an avalanche, Jie Jin finally realized what a grand and glorious thing he was about to accomplish. Say nothing and start working hard.

As it turns out, Judy was right about the wrong person. Jie Jin gave full play to his talents and arranged his work reasonably. Collection, analysis, compilation and proofreading are all going on in an orderly way. Every time he finishes writing a part, he must personally review it and make suggestions for revision. As the leader of this huge intellectual team, he did a very good job.

Thousands of hard-working intellectuals work day and night. They persist in working for countless brightly lit nights, giving up family and entertainment, and paying the price of health and even life. Many of them died of overwork, just to finish the greatest work of all time.

With the unremitting efforts of these people, this ceremony was finally completed in Yongle 5 years, 1407, 165438+ 10. This book contains more than seven or eight thousand kinds of books from the pre-Qin period to the early Ming Dynasty, 1 1095 volumes, 22,877 coupons and 370 million words. They are all copied by hand word by word. Its contents include classic subsets, astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medical skills, divination, Tibetan Buddhism, Taoism, drama, technology and agriculture. Covering the intellectual wealth of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, it is not just a book, but a pyramid in the history of Chinese civilization. What is even more rare is that the intellectuals of Ming Dynasty, headed by Xie Jin, collected almost all the precious cultural materials with extensive knowledge and all-encompassing ideas, leaving us great wealth. Judy's dream has finally come true. He solemnly named this great masterpiece Yongle Grand Ceremony.

Now, Judy can finally say that under my rule, he has written the most complete and perfect book ever. One day, I will be old, but the brilliance of this book will always shine on future generations and tell them the glory of my time. Glory belongs not only to Judy, but also to our country and nation.

We have experienced ups and downs for thousands of years and once prospered. We have been humiliated on our knees and in danger, but we have not given in. Our civilization has been passed down and led us to stand up tenaciously. This is the greatness of Yongle Grand Ceremony. It is not just a book, but a kind of spirit, which inherits the spirit of self-improvement of our culture. We should thank this book, because without its birth, many ancient books would never be seen again today. If you want to make a list of these books, I'm afraid it will be very long. I'll just list some of them here. Let everyone know the significance of this book, such as the History of the Old Five Dynasties written in the old Tang Dynasty, the compilation of the Song Dynasty and the compilation of Zi Tongzhi Jian, which were later lost. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that it was sorted out from Yongle Dadian and spread all over the world, so we say that Yongle Dadian is a pyramid in the cultural history of China.

Although Jie Jin has no scenery of iron horse, he has his own weapon, and his weapon is pen and ink. It is under his leadership that countless hard-working intellectuals left us the wisdom and knowledge of our ancestors with pen and ink, and let us know the glorious past and greatness of our ancestors. Facts have proved that those scholars and literati who are often laughed at by us are also strong and strong, and they are also worthy of our respect.
