Reading: Beginning as the Dean of the Academy

Chapter 60 It's True

Beijing.

Huaxia National Library.

As the largest library in the country, the collection of books here is the largest in the country, and it also has the largest number of ancient books.

"Yongle Dadian" is preserved in the National Library of China.

Ding dong.

Xia Yanbing, who was in the process of restoring ancient books, heard the message from his mobile phone, but he didn't want to answer it at first. He didn't like to be disturbed when he was working.

But after thinking about it, my family members and friends all know my habits, and during normal working hours, I will not disturb if there is no important thing.

What if someone comes to me with something important?
With this thought in mind, Xia Yanbing picked up the phone, and when he saw the message was from Ji Yuechi, he couldn't help being a little puzzled.

He and Lao Ji are classmates, but he is in the capital, and Lao Ji has returned to his hometown to develop, and there is not much contact between the two.

He was a little puzzled, what did Lao Ji send himself a message at this time?
"Could it be that Lao Ji is coming to the capital to say hello to himself in advance?"

As a classmate, he has received many batches of old classmates who came to the capital to play. A few years ago, Lao Ji came to the capital once, and he was also the one who accompanied the reception.

But when he opened the message and saw the photos sent, Xia Yanbing was stunned for a moment. As a person who has worked in the National Library for decades, he is still familiar with "Yongle Dadian", and he also participated in "Yongle The Restoration Work of the Canon.

"This...it's quite similar to a replica."

Because Ji Yuechi sent a message, saying that this book was bought from a second-hand book stand, he subconsciously thought that it was a reprint by modern people.

And this is a photo, so I can't feel the material and feel of the book.

"Not bad, old Ji, this level of imitation is okay."

"Yes, it's almost possible to distinguish the real one from the real one, so I sent you to have a look."

"Unfortunately, a fake is a fake."

……

After chatting for a while, and inviting Lao Ji to come to the capital for a drink when he had time, Xia Yanbing stopped chatting and prepared to continue working.

But then he thought of something, and he forwarded this picture to the library's internal group.

"A reprint of "Yongle Dadian" sent by a friend, don't mention it, it is indeed quite similar to the real one."

After sending this message, Xia Yanbing turned off his phone. In order not to be disturbed at work, he deliberately switched it to silent mode, and concentrated on repairing the books.

squeak~
Xia Yanbing was concentrating on his work, but he didn't notice that his phone kept vibrating after a few minutes.

In less than 10 minutes, the door of the studio was suddenly pushed open. There was such a loud movement that Xia Yanbing's hands trembled, and an angry look immediately appeared on his face. He was about to turn around and scold him, but when he turned around, the words stuck in his mouth .

It was an expert in the library who pushed the door, and then came in with two deputy directors and several other experts.

It was the first time that so many important people came to his studio.

"Old Xia, why don't you answer the phone?"

As soon as the deputy curator came in, he complained a little. Xia Yanbing subconsciously got up and picked up the phone on the side, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

With doubts, Xia Yanbing glanced at the phone, good guy, but within 10 minutes, there were six missed calls and dozens of messages.

"Old Xia, who owns the "Yongle Dadian" you sent, and where is it?"

The leading expert who came in did not explain the reason to Xia Yanbing, but asked anxiously instead.

"It was sent by an old classmate of mine. It should be from Xinzhou. What's the matter? Isn't it just a reprint of "Yongle Dadian". No matter how good the remake is, it's still a fake."

Xia Yanbing didn't understand why these people were so anxious and excited.

"Who told you that it was a fake, it is true, that "Yongle Dadian" is true."

"Really?"

Xia Yanbing was really shocked this time, but he still didn't believe it.

"It's too arbitrary to judge a photo as real."

If it wasn't for a few experts and the deputy curator who came, if someone else told him this, he would directly criticize it and go back.

Based on the photos, if you are serious or fake, you should think that you have sharp eyes.

"Lao Xia, thanks to you, you still restored the "Yongle Dadian". The "Yongle Dadian" is currently preserved in the library, but only one-tenth of it, and the content of the "Yongle Dadian" you took is not in ours. Among the collections, it is not even the content of the "Yongle Canon" collected in overseas libraries, so where to reprint it..."

This time Xia Yanbing understood, and his expression was a little moved.

For reprints, there must be originals, or content, just like the "Yongle Dadian" that has flowed overseas, the originals are still preserved in those libraries, and there are only reprints bought from those libraries in China.

"You can't make a mistake, what if it's fabricated?"

"Although all the "Yongle Canon" found so far do not have the content of that volume, but the search catalog has that volume, so even if it is not the original, it is a reprint of "Yongle Canon" before it was lost, which is extremely precious."

The "Yongle Canon" is not only precious in its original form, but more importantly, its content, which is a symbol of civilization.

Regardless of whether the "Yongle Dadian" in the photo is an authentic copy, as long as the content is true, it is of great value, because it can make up for the lack of "Yongle Dadian".

"The content is true, there is a high possibility that this is not a reprint, Lao Xia, you know what this means, right?"

"Know...know."

Xia Yanbing subconsciously nodded, and immediately said excitedly, "I'll contact my old classmate now."

"Well, tell him to protect him, and let's go to Xinzhou now."

Several experts couldn't wait for the "Yongle Dadian", especially the missing "Yongle Dadian" to come out, it would be a sensation in the cultural world.

……

Here, after Ji Yuechi and Shao Fengyi admired it for a while, they walked out of Zangshu Pavilion with some unfinished business.

"I didn't expect the collection of books in Xinzhou Academy to be so rich."

"Yeah, if it wasn't for work, I would really like to stay in this library and read books for a while. There are very few places that are so suitable for reading."

The scent of books in Zangshu Pavilion makes it easy for people to immerse themselves in it.

"It's better to be old Chen. Now that I'm retired, I can go to the academy every day to read books. Old Chen, you found a good place."

Chen Hongsheng, who followed out the door, heard this, and subconsciously withdrew his hand that was about to reach out for the broom by the door.

Just let these two friends of yourself misunderstand.

"Okay, I won't send you off."

After the backs of Shao Fengyi and Ji Yuechi disappeared, Chen Hongsheng picked up the broom and prepared to continue cleaning.

It's just that he just finished sweeping the area in front of the Zangshu Pavilion when there was a sound of surprise.

"Old Chen, what are you doing here?"

Shao Fengyi and Ji Yuechi went back and forth, Chen Hongsheng trembled all over, thinking about how to explain, but he couldn't speak.

"You still need to clean up the academy, don't clean it, it's a big deal, my old classmate from the Beijing National Museum sent me a message, saying that the three "Yongle Dadian" are probably true, and they are on their way now , let me guard them, and no accidents will be made."

Fortunately, Ji Yuechi and Shao Fengyi were not paying attention to this at the moment. They pulled Chen Hongsheng to talk excitedly, and Chen Hongsheng was also confused.

"Really, is it the real "Yongle Dadian"?"

"The possibility is very high. Not only did I guard it myself, but I also notified the city to send someone to help watch it. If this is really "Yongle Dadian", then you, Old Chen, have made great contributions."

"A great achievement?" Chen Hongsheng murmured in his heart. When the reporter interviewed him, did he say that he was sweeping the floor of the academy and saw "Yongle Dadian" while sweeping.

"I think it's better to inform the dean. After all, these are the books of the academy and they bought them."

Chen Hongsheng saw the excited two friends and reminded them.

"Yes, yes, it is time to inform the young dean, I will go to the dean, and the two of you will stay here."

Ji Yuechi also reacted, and ran towards the academy as he spoke, while Su Le at this moment was frowning because of the videos and posts of the Black Academy that appeared on the Internet.
