Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 580 Old Books and Manuscripts

The purchase price of these books is actually higher than the selling price marked on the book at that time. For example, "Three Hundred Tang Poems" by Yuelu Publishing House, the price printed on the title page is [-] cents.

But that was twenty-eight cents in the [-]s, which is not the same concept as today's thirty cents.

Moreover, the printing of books at that time was all edited and printed by the state. Except for the binding and paper, the quality of the content was far more solid than that of later books. China's greatest ancient book collation project.

Moreover, the compilation time was from [-] to [-], which is especially rare.

Also valuable are "Taiping Yulan" and "Cefu Yuangui", as well as "Qingshilu". Zhou Zhi was nominally counting the books, but in the end he just stood there holding the books and read them raptly. Jiang Shu After I reminded him twice, seeing that he was still the same, I smiled and left him alone.

These books are basically full copies, and almost nothing is lost. Except for the normal oxidation marks on the edges of the paper, the rest are quite well preserved.

In the end, Zhou Zhi didn't bother to count according to the original, and directly counted according to the box. There are more than 2000 books, which are full of forty boxes.

In the middle, Director Liu came back for a trip. Seeing the situation, he said, well, I have to go back. The car I just arranged seems to be small, and the bookshelves are said to be missing.

This busy work lasted until noon, and finally all 47 boxes were loaded on the truck and pulled to Suihuaxuan.

At this time, Director Liu's ability was highlighted, and the quality of the bookshelves delivered at the same time was quite good, which made Zhou Zhi very satisfied.

At first, Zhou Zhi had a bad impression of Director Liu, but after thinking about it, in a place like the antique market where there is a lot of fish and dragons, it might not be possible for such a person not to be able to control it.

Because the words "Revolutionary Committee of the Second Class of Literature and History of Shudu University" appeared on the batch of materials, Zhou Zhi felt that it should have something to do with the Department of Chinese or History of Shudu University, so he first called Gu Zhenduo and Gu Kailai. As for Gu Youwen, he was too old. Don't be alarmed.

It was the first time for Gu Zhenduo to come to the real estate that Zhou Zhi bought in Shudu. After simple exterior decoration and garden tidying, Sui Huaxuan, just a fish pond and water pavilion surprised the master and the master.

So when I saw Zhou Zhi and Gu Zhenduo, I joked: "The elbow is a bit like a literati in the Republic of China, how can this be a stinky old nine? This is the arrogance of a professor at Yenching University who bought a courtyard house with an annual salary of [-] yuan! "

"Master, you are laughing at me. If you like it, you can move here and live here every day."

"I'm not as lucky as you. It's convenient for me to live in Taohua Village to teach. How much time will be wasted living here and going back and forth every day?"

"Where are your companions?" Gu Kailai asked, "I heard that Shu Yi discovered the information?"

"Well, today we went shopping in Guishizi. Shu Yi found the materials at an old bookstall. I spent 1000 yuan and bought more than 700 old books, and these seven boxes of materials."

"I let them all go to bed. They played all night last night, and then they were busy until noon, and they were sleepy after lunch."

"There are seven boxes of that batch of materials?" Gu Zhenduo was startled.

"Well, I roughly estimated the number of words. It is estimated that there are more than 500 million words of content, all of which are textual research and annotations related to exegesis."

"Can you tell which school it is from?"

"The annotations are very detailed, and the author's knowledge system is very extensive. From the perspective of academic style, he is more influenced by the Qianjia lineage than the May Fourth New Style."

"Go and have a look." Gu Zhenduo couldn't hold back immediately.

The seven boxes of materials are all placed on the coffee table in the big study room. Now there are old solid wood bookcases erected in the study room, with nearly [-] books on them. In addition to some furnishings brought by Zhou Zhi, it looks like a study room.

Gu Kailai smiled and said, "Good guy, your study is about the same size as my dormitory."

"The books just look good." Gu Zhenduo was also extremely satisfied with this study, and he took out a copy of "Taiping Yulan" and flipped it back: "The 1960 edition of Zhonghua Book Company is a good thing, Mr. Li Daozhong, the editor and reviewer." Back then in Shudu, I had dinner with my father, and now he is dead too."

"Father, come quickly and take a look at this." Gu Kailai had already opened the box and exclaimed.

"This... This is a notebook made by the school's printing factory back then!" Gu Zhenduo saw the kraft paper-covered exercise book that Gu Kailai took out, and rushed to the desk with the agility that a retired professor should not have, and saw the seal on the labor insurance box: "Shu The Revolutionary Committee of the Second Class of Literature and History at Metropolitan University? This is... this is..."

"Master, have you seen this?"

"This is the class that your grandparents taught back then! They copied it later!"

"I'll go!" Zhou Zhi was taken aback, "Look at the things quickly! Let me tell you why the style of study is so familiar! Is this the knowledge that Master Zuzu did back then?"

Gu Zhenduo quickly flipped through several notebooks, his expression became more and more excited, and then he became tearful, holding the box and crying.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Zhi hurriedly dragged a chair and helped Gu Zhenduo to sit down: "Master, don't get too excited, these materials are really the master's notes?"

"No, this is, this is "Guangyun Shuzheng" and "Classic Annotations"!" Gu Zhenduo was already in tears: "This is your great master's life's work, and this is his handwriting! "Guangyun Shuzheng" "Certificate" and the original manuscripts of "Classic Interpretation Collection and Notes"!"

"These two manuscripts were confiscated back then, which made your master very heartbroken. Over the years, relying on his memory, he has recovered the content of nine volumes one after another. Where is Shu Yi? The old man is going to thank her!"

"She's sleeping, sir, don't get excited." Zhou Zhi hurriedly fetched water for Gu Zhenduo to wash his face: "I just said how these things are so familiar. Now that I think about it, I hugged the master's desk."

"At that time, I praised my master for his rich knowledge, and he said with a smile that he was standing on the shoulders of great master."

Although Gu Kailai was very excited to become the head of the department, he was still stable: "Whether it is the study of our country's exegesis or the continuation of family studies, the importance of these two materials cannot be overemphasized. And Yu, you can find all of these, you are really a lucky star!"

"Shu Yi found this. I saw it was related to my profession and the content inside was solid, so I bought it." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Shu Yi is our lucky star."

"Both of you should be grateful. You must represent both the individual and the school. These seven boxes of materials and two books, after sorting out and absorbing them, will take our school and our country's exegetical research to a new level!"

"There is no need for personal thanks. We can get back the things of Master Zeng. It can only be said that there is God's will in the dark." Zhou Zhi was also very happy, and after being too happy, he came up again: "But such a boast, Isn't it a bit immodest?"
