Riding the wind of rebirth
Chapter 1352 Proof
"Zhou Zhi studied under Gu Youwen, an old professor in the Chinese Department of our school, and called him his master; Gu's father was Mr. Gu Shaoxian, the first generation of Chinese phonology expert in New China." Director Yuan knew these relationships better than Principal Lin, and he immediately helped Explain.
"I see." Li Shipei nodded: "Then please help us explain it?"
"Actually, there are quite a few things that can be proven." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Such as the binding characteristics, the characteristics of the ink used, the engraving technology, etc., many aspects can be proved. For example, in this book, the engraving's beautiful and neat brushstrokes are typical." Hang Gong'."
"Compared with other Song edition books, this set of books also has a very interesting feature, which is the use of paper."
"Book printing has also developed into a very mature development in the Song Dynasty. Because papermaking technology is relatively developed, there are many types of printing paper. In Sichuan and Zhejiang, Piyue paper is mostly used, which is made from mulberry bark and mulberry bark. Paper, white and thick, smooth on both sides."
"The paper used for this set of books is Piyue's Gongku paper, which is relatively rare among the Song Dynasty's printed editions."
"The so-called 'public treasury paper' refers to the paper used for official government documents. This is not an isolated case. It is recorded in the ancient article "Lingpu Inscriptions and Postscripts" that at that time, "Beishan Xiaoji" was printed from the book of the sixth year of Qiandao, and "Luchuan" "Ci" was printed on grain collection records. This kind of 'official document' is less popular, but it is easier to identify."
At this point, Zhou Zhi turned out the back of the book pages: "Look, some of the pages of this set of books can still see the seals of the time when they were put into the warehouse. This is the blank file of the Shaoxing Prefecture in the fourth year of Qiandao in the Southern Song Dynasty."
"Why did people in the Song Dynasty use this kind of official paper to print books?" Li Shipei was very interested in such trivial knowledge.
"Firstly, compared with other paper products, the quality of government paper at that time was relatively high; secondly, due to the decline in national power, the government had to eliminate some inventory in order to maintain operations and replace it with revenue to subsidize operations." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "It's hard to say how many kickbacks have been misappropriated by public-private collusion. In short, in ancient times, this kind of thing was like 'taking all the baht and using it like sand'."
"Oh, so this book was printed in the fourth year of Qiandao in the Southern Song Dynasty?"
"This is not the case." Zhou Zhi said: "This seal can only prove that these papers entered the Shaoxing government treasury in the fourth year of Qiandao in the Southern Song Dynasty. It cannot prove the year and month when the book was written. However, the book must have been printed in Qiandao. Four years later, it’s a sure thing.”
"This can be regarded as confirming the earliest age, which is still very impressive." Li Shipei nodded, he knew the difficulty of this kind of verification.
"Yes, but based on research, we shortened the year when the book was written to a shorter time." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but look proud, because this discovery was made by him.
When Li Shipei saw Zhou Zhi like this, he couldn't help but like him even more. This boy was very humble in every aspect, but he was only proud of his academic discoveries. This is a good boy who really likes learning, so he encouraged him: "Then you have to give him a good education." Let’s talk.”
"I compared the differences between this version of "The Collection of Flowers" and later versions, and found that the later version of "The Collection of Flowers" has two postscripts by Lu You, but this version has only one."
"The two short essays written by Lu You entitled "Postscript "Collection of Flowers"" seem to have no fixed opinion on the late Tang and Five Dynasties Ci poems, which are either derogatory or praiseful. However, if we look closely at the actual situation, we can see that the former is short in terms of ideological content, and the latter is short in terms of ideological content. The other is to discuss the merits of the artistic style, which is normal for literary criticism."
"In the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the articles were extremely crude, and the single movement was gratifying. Although it lacked high rhyme, it was a kind of ingenuity. Each had its own style and did not follow the others. This kind of problem that originated from the folk and was modified by literati is called 'Shi Ke Qu Ci' is the predecessor of Song Ci." "However, from the perspective of historical reality, at that time, the Central Plains was turbulent with wars, while Western Sichuan and the Southern Tang Dynasty were relatively peaceful, and the wealthy and aristocratic families indulged in pleasure and indulgence. The guests, in the midst of beautiful feasts and embroideries, used pure words and a charming attitude, and collected them in "Flower Room". There are many works of this kind."
"At the time when Lu You was living, the situation inside and outside the Southern Song Dynasty was quite similar to that of Western Sichuan and Southern Tang Dynasty. From the perspective of Lu You, who was concerned about the Central Plains and aspired to recover, it was inevitable that the poets in "The Collection of Flowers" would be like this. "It's a pity," and I raised the question "Maybe it's just out of boredom."
When Director Yuan got another version of "Flower Room Collection", sure enough, Lu You's postscript in it was divided into two parts.
Zhou Zhi continued: "Lu You's two postscripts, the first does not indicate the specific time, but the second clearly states that it was written in the first year of Kaixi."
"The volume of "Flower Room Collection" we are looking at now does not contain the postscript of Weng Weng, so we can think that the postscript was probably not written at that time. In other words, the book was written in the year after Lu You's first postscript was written. Before the second postscript is written, the time limit is before the first year of Kaixi."
"It is logically true." Li Shipei nodded, but frowned: "But the content of this first postscript is very simple, so how can we determine the time when it was written?"
In both sets of Huajian Ji, Lu You’s first postscript is the same, which is actually just a short sentence:
""The Collection of Flowers" was written by people from the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. At that time, the world was in turmoil, and there was no time to save the people. It is a shame that the scholar-bureaucrats were wandering like this! Or maybe it was out of boredom? Li Zeweng wrote."
"Here!" Zhou Zhi said: "As long as we find out the time when Lu You called himself Li Zeweng, we can determine the upper limit of the earliest writing time of this book."
"That's it!" Li Shipei clapped his hands, expressing that this idea was really exciting: "But... this isn't easy, is it?"
"As long as you search patiently, you can still find clues." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Lize is Taihu Lake. It is the hometown of Lu Guimeng, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. He traveled to Wujiang for a long time, and it is said that Lujiagang in Shanghai is related to it today. .”
"Historically, there is no research to prove that Lu You is a descendant of Lu Guimeng, but Lu You himself has claimed so many times in poems and essays. He also uses Li Ze, who Lu Guimeng was born as, as his nickname, and occasionally calls himself 'Old Man of Guitang'. It’s a tribute to my idol.”
"In ancient times, there were relatively strict rules for calling yourself 'Weng'. According to Chen Lin's account of the Three Kingdoms, 'Weng is sixty years old'. We can almost conclude that Lu You's self-proclaimed 'Lize Ze Weng' should be in his sixth year." About ten years old.”
"Of course, this inference is not very rigorous. Fortunately, we found another article to prove it."
"Lu You was a master of postscript-style essays in the late Southern Song Dynasty. One of his "Postscripts from Li Zhuang's Family Letter" has been circulated in the world. He described how when he was young, he happened to see Li Guang, a famous minister of the Anti-Jin Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty, after he was banished. Style.”
"The article mentions several key points in time, one of which is 'when Li Zhang retired from politics and returned to his hometown, he was twenty years old in a certain year.' The other is 'for the next forty years, I occasionally read official letters, although he moved overseas, The energy will not fade away.’ The last sentence is ‘Chunxi Wushen had already finished the second month of the month, and Lize Lu wrote a book’.”
