Chapter 315: The whole house is shocked

Mr. Lu Ming was drinking tea depressedly, feeling very unwilling. After a cup of tea was eaten, he smiled and said, "In the past two years, I have compiled some lost manuscripts and occasionally gained something. Among them, the scattered volumes from the Sui and Tang Dynasties need to be re-edited, and the lyrics and sentences are written. Have you heard of Liu Mengde's "Inscription on the Humble Room"?"

When everyone heard the name Liu Mengde, they couldn't help but feel energetic. This person was Liu Yuxi, the "poet hero" of the Tang Dynasty. Liu Yuxi left behind many poems and works, which were catchy. Who doesn't know who was sitting?

Now when he heard Mr. Lu Ming talking about this matter proudly, many people couldn't help but look at Mr. Lu Ming with their admirable eyes, looking very surprised.

Did Mr. Lu Ming quietly sort out Liu Yuxi's articles and poems? If so, it would be a great thing.

The manuscripts of the ancients were actually very messy. After all, there was no very prosperous printing industry in that era. When some people wrote books, they mostly treasured them themselves, or had some poems, and copied a few copies to give to relatives and friends. Even celebrities, their poems and articles were just copied by everyone.

However, after the Han Dynasty, paper became popular. Although paper was easy to write, it was not easy to preserve. This led to the fact that the manuscripts of many famous people in ancient times had been lost and only heard of their names, but they did not know what kind of work it was. Or even if there were famous works, the manuscripts passed down were passed down by word of mouth, and many places were wrong in wording, and even an article had only the upper part but no bottom part. This situation was very common.

But it would be a pity if these works of predecessors were just allowed to be written in such unwritten documents or missed in many ways.

This is the missing repertoire.

Faced with this situation, when Emperor Wen was in power, he began to collect various ancient collections and various articles left behind by the people on the grounds of fabricating the Yongle Ceremony, hoping to collect them all and compile them into books, and organize and modify those "all the mistakes" areas.

Just like an article by a famous scholar in ancient times, people will naturally copy and preserve it. However, because it is a copy, the articles that everyone copied may be different. At this time, it will test the level of the person who organizes the materials. You have to understand which one of the different articles is most suitable for the experience of that celebrity, and you also need to be proficient in the grammar of this person. In other words, you must not only be proficient in history, but also have a deep foundation in poetry and articles, and even have enough patience to make the most advantageous judgment.

For example, the same famous person wrote a poem in a copy of the book "The monk knocks on the door under the moon", while in another version passed down, it was "The monk pushes the door under the moon". However, because it was just a change of one word, the meaning was not only completely different, but the artistic conception also changed greatly. But how can we determine which one is the original intention of the original writer? In addition to having a strong appreciation skills, we can roughly see which word is used better, and we also need to consider the time and place of the original author when he wrote the poem. Because of different time and place, the author's situation is different, the words used in this poem may be completely different.

Therefore, the compilation of the Yongle Ceremony almost gathered the national strength. At that time, Xie Jin, the most famous talent in the world, was the editor-in-chief and summoned countless famous scholars and scholars. It took many years to finally achieve a small success.

What Mr. Lu Ming said just now is more high-end, which is to supplement some lost articles. If Li Bai had a poem that would cry out in front of the bed, the bright moon shone like frost on the ground, looking up at the bright moon, and then... it was gone, there were only three poems passed down, but the last sentence was gone.

So later people began to add this poem in a scorching manner, but how easy is it to add it? On the one hand, you have to combine the previous text, and on the other hand, they are poets, how dare ordinary people speak shamelessly to give him a dog tail?

Mr. Lu Ming's words made everyone startled. This is why he said that he had been reorganizing an article by Liu Yuxi in the past or two years, and this was a very loud voice. Liu Yuxi was one of the most famous writers of the Tang Dynasty. Many of them were passed down, mostly with no ends or no ends. How could ordinary people dare to try to organize and supplement? After all, their level is very limited, so how dare they compete with their predecessors?

Since Mr. Lu Ming spoke, with his reputation, he was afraid that he had achieved some achievements, and since he dared to speak out in court, he must be proud and thought that his sequel was well organized. If so, it would be amazing.

Even Wang Hua couldn't help but look at him, "Oh, is that "The Inscription on the Humble Room"? I also know a little about it. It is said that I have only passed down half of the sentence. I want to sort it out, but I am afraid it is not easy. Besides, there are no other manuscripts that have been circulated in the world to supplement it. If you really succeed, your voice will definitely shake the universe."

Others were all in their heads, and they admired Mr. Lu Ming even more and didn't dare to underestimate him anymore.

Ye Chunqiu, who seemed quiet on the side, couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "The Inscription of the Humble Room? How could the Inscription of the Humble Room be an article that was missing? I clearly remember that this article in later generations has also entered the textbook. Could it be..."

He thought of a possibility that the lost articles would generally be supplemented in two ways. One is archaeological discovery. For example, if the articles of the Tang Dynasty were lost, they would be able to leave only a few words in the Ming Dynasty. However, after the Qing Dynasty, they were suddenly excavated from the tombs of their predecessors. Therefore, although this article was published long ago, it might have been after the Qing Dynasty. Or, although only a few words in this article were left, it was carefully studied by a famous verified expert, supplemented and organized, and finally compiled according to the original writer's writing style and thoughts. Could it be that the "Inscription on the Humble Room" in later texts became the whole article because of this?

The more Ye Chunqiu thought about it, the more incredible he felt, but this phenomenon was very common. Ye Chunqiu had gradually integrated into this era and became a scholar-official. How could he not understand the joints?

So although everyone here is full of expectations for Mr. Lu Ming’s so-called editorial work, Ye Chunqiu was very calm. I know the whole text. Who cares about your editorial work?

Mr. Lu Ming didn't know what Ye Chunqiu was thinking. Everyone's reaction had long been filled with his eyes. The smile on his face became even louder, and he said, "Yes, Liu Mengde's "Inscription on the Humble Room" started with shocking everyone, but it had a head but no end. In the past century, no other manuscripts have passed away. It's a pity that I've just edited it. It's also a shame to say."
