"So," Professor Wu smiled: "If the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is opened one day, maybe those books can be recovered."
What really caused serious damage to the books was that Xiang Yu set fire to the Qin Palace and burned down the precious books and the gorgeous palaces kept in the Qin court. Later, Liu Bang invaded Xianyang, and all the generals went to rob the gold, silver, treasures, and the beautiful women went to Xiao He. What?
I don't do anything, I just run to rescue various books and files
Then there is the usurper Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty who burned the classics. This guy wanted to block the mouths of the people in the world because he was an emperor. He simply wanted to burn all the books in the world so that the people in the world would have no knowledge. Naturally, he had no knowledge.
It was not until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that he covered up his conspiracy to usurp the throne. After hundreds of years of collecting books, in the Three Kingdoms period, Dong Zhuo launched a rebellion and burned Luoyang.
A few decades later, during the Wu Hu period, Liu Yao of the Xiongnu and Shi Le of the Jie tribe captured Chang'an and Luoyang, and burned them all with fire.
A few decades later, Emperor Liang Yuan, who said "the way of civil and military affairs has come to an end today", would burn the book of Tianfu.
Within a few hundred years, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was over in the hands of Li Longji. The Anshi rebellion plundered Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty lingered for a hundred years. Zhu Wen simply burned the city of Chang'an to ashes again. In the Song Dynasty, the court began to collect money again.
What is the result of the secret pavilion’s books? Jingkang Rebellion, the Jin people robbed the classics and the secret pavilion’s book “Xiwei Mud”
In the Yuan Dynasty, those Mongolians were all pragmatists and had no grudge against books. They managed to avoid disaster. However, in the Qing Dynasty, which was known as the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong, they repeatedly launched literary inquisitions and later even took the opportunity to compile the Sikuquanshu.
Even "Tian Gong Kai Wu" and "Cai Gen Tan" were retrieved from Japan due to extensive deletions or tampering.
Then the Eight-Power Allied Forces looted the city of Beijing, and even the Old Summer Palace was burned. Not long after, Hong Xiuquan continued to burn books, "All the demonic books and heretical teachings of Confucius and Mencius will be burned, and they are not allowed to hide and read, otherwise they will be charged."
This matter is not over. In modern times, this dynasty has experienced an "unprecedented" event, which is a catastrophe. In short, so many large-scale book burnings are just like pulling a net to catch fish. You can imagine how to inherit Chinese civilization.
How many classics are left?
Speaking of this, Professor Wu was so heartbroken that even Ding Li had a look on his face. He seemed to have destroyed a lot of ancient books. If Professor Wu knew that he used the bamboo slips and wooden slips of those ancient books as torches to burn, I wonder what the old man would do.
I won’t come over and hit myself in anger.
Ding Li had a shy face and chuckled. He opened the bag he brought and took out a few silk books and some photos. These were originally found on the body of the gunman who died in the ancient book collection place. When he got out of the cave, he picked up another quilt.
The dryad tore up the unfortunate man's backpack, and there were some silk books in it. These were all taken with a camera with extremely high definition.
"Is this? This is..." Thinking of Ding Li's question just now, Professor Wu seemed to mean something and was so excited that he was speechless.
Silk script, also known as silk script, uses white silk as the writing material. At that time, silk was a very expensive thing and only the rich and powerful could afford it. Only very important things would be recorded on silk script.
The most important silk book in Chinese history is one that was broken out by a group of tomb robbers in Changsha in early 1942 and was later tricked by the Americans. It is now stored in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States. It is the earliest existing silk book and the only complete silk book from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period with ink text.
The book, with a total of more than 900 characters, is written in Chu script. The image is a painted silk book with 12 images of gods around it. Each image has an inscription around the name of the god. There are images of plant branches and leaves in the four corners of the silk book. It is said to be the most exciting discovery in the history of Chinese culture.

This incident is quite famous, and even a certain tomb robbery novel that became very popular in the future also mentioned this incident in a different way. No wonder Professor Wu would be so excited when he realized something, and even his whole body would tremble slightly...
"Ding Li, this is...where did you find this?"
"It was snatched back from the hands of foreigners." What Ding Li said was really not a lie at all. Didn't he get it back from those gunmen? But what this guy said was not entirely true. He had no intention of destroying Kogadong.
Tell me what happened
Even Zhou Qing and several of Professor Wu's assistants were curious to come over and look at these silk books that might have come from the Spring and Autumn Period.
"Ah, this seems to be the content of "Shangshu Hongfan"" One of Professor Wu's students suddenly shouted: "Look at this sentence... I heard in the past, Gun's floods, and the five elements of the emperor are angry?"
As soon as he said this, several people leaned their heads to look at the copy Ding Li showed them. The original silk book was already very fragile, and most of the text on it was already unclear. This one happened to be the comparison among them.
Ding Li couldn't understand a complete sentence when several people were discussing it animatedly. He just felt bored when suddenly Professor Wu asked: "Ding Li, where are the originals of these silk books?"
Ding Li shrugged: "No, I just got these photos from the Hand of God." Of course what he said was nonsense. He had already found a place to store these things. If the originals were seen by Professor Wu, what would happen?
Well, why should I ask him to donate it to a museum or something? Ding Li has gone through life and death to get such a few good things. If he wants to give them away for nothing, don't even think about it.
Nowadays, even collecting is legalized. As long as there is no evidence that the things you collect are just unearthed from the ground, the police can't do anything to you.
Ding Li simply changed the subject: "What kind of book is "Shang Shu Hong Fan"?"
Professor Wu also knew that Ding Li was unwilling to talk about this topic. He sighed slightly. This Ding Li is good at everything, but he is too selfish. He explained: "The old legend is that Wei Zi Jizi stated the "Great Law of Heaven and Earth" to King Wu of Zhou Dynasty.
"Hong" means "big" and means "Fan". It originally referred to molds, and by extension it means "faculty", which is also the ancient meaning of Tao. "Hongfan" means "dao".
Hearing the two words "Dao", Ding Li couldn't help but tolerate the Taoism. There are so many alchemy and Taoist books, and the only one who dares to speak out about the Dao is "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi". What is the origin of this Hong Fan who dares to speak outly about the Dao?
?
"Shangshu", also known as "Book" and "Shu Jing", is a collection of documents in many genres. It is the earliest existing history book in China. Although many things recorded in it are forged by later generations, quite a lot of them have been preserved.
In ancient historical materials, 'Shang' means to spread out and flatten rolled, wrapped, and stacked things; 'Book' refers to words, written records, and documents; 'Shang Shu' refers to 'decrypted documents of the Wang family'.
The royal archives that are open to the public are the words spoken by the king and the nobles, and the ministers are the oldest written history of China." (To be continued)
