Chapter 648, Rare Book
Three days later---
Speaking of which, Lin Yi is not the kind of person who has never seen the world. He has two magnificent library buildings in his hands, one in Nandu and the other in Nanjing. In recent years, he has collected a lot of rare and lonely books.
But when he was invited by Mie Ashikaga and went straight to the Ashikaga's library to appreciate and select those ancient books, he was still shocked by everything in front of him.
The dazzling array of books is not enough to describe everything in front of you, and it only shows that there are many books. In fact, Lin Yi seems to be in a world of ancient books, a sea of rare and lonely books. From the beginning to the end, it is all books. It is neatly black and neatly placed on the antique sandalwood bookshelf.
Perhaps because few people take care of the books, those books are slightly a little ashamed, but this not only makes Lin Yi feel that these books have a heavy sense of history, but more of it is the word "old".
Lin Yi suppressed his nervousness and excitement, while Mie Ashikaga looked at Haitang who was choosing books with Lin Yi curiously.
In her opinion, no wonder Lin Yi likes Haitang. She is so beautiful. Girls like this probably even girls will like her.
Haitaro had been paying attention to Mie Ashikaga's eyes, but she didn't say much, but just smiled slightly at her.
Lin Yi didn't know what the two women were thinking. At this moment, his mind was all used on these ancient versions.
That's right, in addition to some of the Japanese and Korean versions of the books, there are many rare books that have been left here in China.
Lin Yi couldn't see his eyes, so he had to choose the ancient books that originally belonged to China first.
Lin Yi is an expert, but he saw that the ancient books that were full of content, covering four major categories: classics, history, science, and collections; the second was that the version categories were complete and sophisticated, almost covering all the examples of paper books. Handwritten manuscripts, manuscripts, proofread inscriptions, etc., and printed ones included engraved, overprinted, movable type seals, sealed, etc.
As far as Lin Yi knows, it is a tradition of the Qing Dynasty's Jiangnan bibliography collectors, and Wuzhong collectors are particularly interested in it. There are many old and good books for famous schools, and there are as many as 7 postscripts for Huang Pilie. Others such as Zhu Yizun, He Zhuo, Wang Naizhao, Peng Yuanrui, Wu Qian, etc., which are either copied or posted by gentlemen, and there are many rare works. This is a metaphor for the three volumes of "Yuefu Ya Ci", a Ming hand-made version, and Cao Yuanzhong's postscript. It was written in the Song Dynasty and was unknown in the Yuan and Ming dynasties. Now most of the people you see are Qing copybooks. This is a Ming copy, and it is an ancient artifact of Jiao and Mao Er family, which is extremely precious.
Lin Yi actually did his homework before coming here, and was afraid that he would get it wrong, so he read the book "Research and Summary of the Collection of Yuan and Ming essays in Japan". The book contains the works of Yuan and Ming essays that have been lost in mainland China and are collected by Japan. One of them is four volumes of "The Collection of Two Volumes of Zhang Taichang Memorials" written by Zhang Chong of the Ming Dynasty. At this moment, it was immediately in front of Lin Yi.
In addition, Lin Yi also saw that there was a five-volume book called "Shizhou Poetry Talk" in the copy draft.
As far as Lin Yi knows, this book has a "ridiculous" experience. It was compiled by Weng Fanggang, a great calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty. Weng Fanggang first hired someone to copy the manuscript, and then personally modified it on the manuscript. When the revision incident was still over, the manuscript was stolen by anyone. Later, the stolen manuscript was bought by Weng Fanggang's friends by chance. Weng Fanggang borrowed it and copied it again. He was secretly glorious and suddenly found that the end of the book had been made by someone, and it was mixed with Weng Fanggang's name. He couldn't help but laugh and cry, so he circled the fake postscript with a pen and wrote another postscript on the edge of the album, recording the whole thing. The last sighed helplessly: "It's extremely absurd, it's funny and ridiculous."
When Lin Yi saw these, he was already dazzled and couldn't let go of his love.
But soon, his eyes were attracted by a large set of figures.
I saw that the set of books was of excellent quality. I carefully identified it. It turned out to be the "Imperially appointed Wuying Palace Juzhen Edition", which was 138 types and 2416 volumes, compiled by the Hongli imperial edict of Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty, and the printed version of Wuying Palace Juzhen Edition from the 38th year of Qianlong to the 8th year of Jiaqing.
Lin Yi was so shocked that he almost fainted.
You should know that the four types of "Eight Types of Yi Wei", "Old Officials of Han", "Super Relics of the Adventures of Zheng Gong of Wei", and "Emperor Fan" are written in Wuying Hall in the 38th year of Qianlong, with 20 lines per half of the page and 21 characters. After October of the same year, 134 types were printed with wooden movable characters, with 9 lines per half of the page and 21 characters per half of the page and 21 characters per half of the page. The blank mouth is on both sides. The board is 187cmx12cm. Each book is preceded by the poem "Ten Rhymes of Wuying Hall Gathering Edition" written by Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty, and the summary is included. The first line of the homepage contains 6 words "Wuying Hall Gathering Edition".
This book should be the largest wooden movable type printed version in China. In the 38th year of Qianlong, Emperor Gaozong Hongli ordered the scholars to compile the scattered scripts in the "Yongle Encyclopedia" and the rare rare Song and Yuan dynasties. Wuying Palace first published four books such as "Eight Types of Yiwei". In October of the same year, Jin Jian, the minister in charge of the engraving of Wuying Palace, said: Because there are many types of engraving books, it is not easy to carve, so it is better to carve a piece of jujube wood movable type set board, and put the printing of the book "saving the difference in work and materials". So in the 39th year of Qianlong, 250,000 single wood characters were engraved in 250,000 yuan in the single words of the wood in the 39th year of Qianlong.
The rest of them began to print books. Emperor Qianlong named "Juzhen" because of the indecent "movable type board". During this period, he used this set of wooden movable type to print 131 books. During the seventh and eight years of Jiaqing, he also printed "Western Han Huiyao", "Tang Huiyao", and "Agricultural Book", and a total of 134 books were printed. Among them, 31 books in the classics, 27 books in the historical books, 33 books in the sub-part books, and 43 books in the collection. Together with the four first engraved, there were 138 types. Since most of the books were printed as they were available, there were no general titles and catalogs of these more than 100 books, which later generations called "Wuying Palace Juzhen Edition Book".
After this book was published, since it was rare and rare books, almost all provinces reprinted them in a row, forming the so-called rare books that had a great influence and played a positive role in promoting the development of cultural undertakings in the Qing Dynasty.
Unfortunately, in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, this set of books suddenly disappeared. I heard that I had exposed my face in Panjiayuan, but it was just some incomplete copies.
It is said that a prodigal prince stole it from the Dragonfly in the late Qing Dynasty. In order to sell it, he took it to Panjiayuan. Later, he was afraid of being held accountable, so he collected it again. When the warlords fought in a melee, they didn't know where to end.
Unexpectedly---
I didn't expect that such a rare book would be seen here.
If that doesn't count, then Lin Yi still knows that at the International Christie's auction last year, a similar residual copy was sold, and the final price was as high as 300,000 yuan.
In this way, the big guy in front of me is definitely more than tens of millions...
Involuntarily, Lin Yi had already planned to take it into his pocket--
Chapter completed!
