Many netizens expressed that they did not know what kind of book "Yongle Dadian" was.

At this time, some netizens began to popularize science.

"You don't even know "Yongle Dadian", did your math teacher teach your history?"

""Yongle Dadian" was written by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di successively ordered Xie Jin, Yao Guangxiao and others during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

"A class book that collects ancient Chinese classics in Dacheng, presided over the compilation."

"It was originally named "Document Dacheng", and later Ming Chengzu personally wrote the preface and named it "Yongle Dadian"."

"The book has 22877 volumes, 11095 volumes, and about 3.7 million words."

"This ancient book is a collection of seven or eight thousand books."

"The content of "Yongle Dadian" includes classics, history, sons, collections, astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, interpretation of Taoist scriptures, drama, crafts, and agriculture, covering the intellectual wealth of China for thousands of years."

"Encyclopedia Britannica of Yingguo called "Yongle Dadian", a kind book of Ming Dynasty in Huaguo, "the largest encyclopedia in the history of the world" in the entry of "Encyclopedia".

"This classic has become an important symbol of Chinese culture."

"..."

"Yongle Dadian" was compiled in the Yongle period, and it took six years to complete the compilation.

This classic is one of the most famous ancient classics in China.

It is by far the largest encyclopedia in the world.

The scale of this classic book far exceeds all the books compiled by the previous generation.

As the largest and most mature book in ancient China, "Yongle Dadian" has far more value than the points mentioned above.

Even the existing fragments can be regarded as rich treasures for ancient Chinese literature, medicine, language, geography and other aspects.

After the compilation of "Yongle Dadian" was completed during the Yongle period, only one copy was copied, which is called "Yongle Original".

When it came to the Jiajing Dynasty, out of fear that the "Yongle Canon" would be damaged, another one was re-recorded, called the "Jiajing Copy".

Because the two great canons were hidden in the palace, they were not published, and they were rarely circulated. They were stolen, looted, and burned during the change of dynasties and internal and external troubles. The "original" disappeared, and there were only more than 400 "copies" left.

During the 600 years from compilation to destruction of "Yongle Dadian", many legendary stories and eternal mysteries have been left behind.

After the "Yongle Dadian" was compiled, it was placed in the East Pavilion of Wenyuan Pavilion in Jinling.

In the 19th year of Yongle, Ming Chengzu moved his capital to Yanjing, and selected a part of his collection to bring to the new capital.

"Yongle Dadian" was officially placed in Wenlou during the Zhengtong period.

During the Yongle and Wanli years, although someone proposed to publish it, it was not possible because of "a lot of labor and expense".

In the 14th year of Zhengtong, Wenyuan Pavilion in Jinling was on fire, and all the original manuscripts of "Yongle Dadian" were burned.

In April of the 36th year of Jiajing, a fire broke out in the palace, and Fengtianmen and the three main halls were burned down. The original "Yongle Dadian" collected in Wenyuan Pavilion in Jinling was almost destroyed by the fire.

In the 41st year of Jiajing, Ming Shizong appointed Gao Gong, Qu Jingchun, Zhang Juzheng and others to be responsible for the re-recording of "Yongle Dadian".

It was completed in the early years of Longqing and was originally returned to Jinling.

The original copy is kept in Wenyuan Pavilion in Jinling, and the copy is kept in Huangshicheng in Yanjing.

But by the time of the Qing Dynasty, the original copy of "Yongle Dadian" had disappeared, but the copy was already incomplete.

During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, foreigners invaded Huaguo, the Hanlin Academy was looted, and a large number of "Yongle Dadian" was lost.

When the building of the Imperial Academy was repaired in the first year of Guangxu, there were less than 5000 volumes of "Yongle Dadian".

The reason why "Yongle Dadian" was lost so quickly was mainly that the staff stole it.

It is said that Wen Tingshi stole more than a hundred volumes of "Yongle Dadian" by himself.

In the 64th century, when the "Yongle Dadian" collected by the Hanlin Academy was transferred to the Beijing Normal University Library, there were only [-] volumes left.

So far, after the catastrophe of "Yongle Dadian", there are only more than 800 volumes left, which is less than 4% of the original volume.

Moreover, most are scattered all over the world.

……

After many netizens took turns popularizing science, other netizens who were familiar with "Yongle Dadian" had a deep understanding of this classic.

"Fuck!!!"

"This ancient book sounds so fraudulent!"

"Such classic classics, but less than 4% of the original volume is left. It is simply a waste of the cultural heritage left by the ancestors!"

"That's right, compared to those gold and silver jewels, these classics are the real priceless treasures!"

"The reason why our Chinese civilization has a long history and has been able to be passed down has a great relationship with these classics!"

"That's right, the history of our country of China has never been interrupted, just relying on these classics, unlike other countries, even if the ancient tombs are dug out, they don't know when these ancient tombs were buried and what they were buried in. "

"Our country of Hua is different. Excavating an ancient tomb can confirm the history recorded in the history books!"

"Teacher He said that these ancient books collected by the old man are the original version of "Yongle Dadian". I don't know if it is true!"

"If it's true, then the old man has really made a huge contribution to the cultural inheritance of our country!"
