Another copy of "Historical Records of Dai Viet" was found, which was similar to the first one found by Chen Wenzhe.

The previous ones were compiled by the people, but this one is an official history book of the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945), recording the history from the Hong Pang family to the Xishan Dynasty.

It was compiled based on relevant historical events in the "Complete Book of Dai Viet Historic Records" and "First Edition of Dai Viet Historic Records". Unfortunately, it had little influence in Vietnam.

However, before this book, there are Li Chong's "Summary of Yuejian Tongkao" and the general commentary written by the Nguyen Dynasty Jixian Academy. It can be seen that this book is an officially recognized classic of the Nguyen Dynasty.

In addition to these five officially edited history books, there are others, such as "Selected Works of Historical Records of Li Dynasty".

This is more interesting, because it records the history of the country.

This book is a policy essay used as a model essay for the imperial examination. There are 330 two essays in total, and the subject matter is collected from the Huaxia History Book and the Four Books.

Although these books are all manuscripts and have a short history, the recorded content is of great research value.

In addition to history, there are also literature, customs, songs and so on.

One of the "Oral History Records" recorded songs, sayings, and dialects.

There are many South Vietnamese folk customs recorded here, such as the instructions of the wives of scribes, the instructions of soldiers' wives, and the situation related to industry, agriculture, and commerce.

Especially at the end, there are actually three rap articles attached.

Mr. Chen Wenzhe found dozens of copies and counted them carefully. There are 87 copies in total. According to the price quoted by the proprietress, it is only 700 yuan. .

Since he wanted to buy these books, and these books were of some value, Chen Wenzhe didn't want to cause trouble, so he asked the translator to pay for it.

With the harvest, it is natural to make persistent efforts, but unfortunately, the subsequent harvest is very little.

No, it can't be said that there is no gain at all. At least he has enjoyed the scenery in South Vietnam that is different from that in China, and he has also eaten a lot of delicious food.

His favorite place, the most impressive place, is Da Nang.

On the straight coastline, the seafood is abundant, and the fresh clams and oysters picked up are fat and big.

It's a pity that after eating well, I don't want to move anymore.

Chen Wenzhe didn't want to continue looking for a needle in a haystack, so he took some gains and planned to go back to the ceramics factory and wait for the rabbit.

This time I went out, the biggest gain was the set of historical records.

There are many interesting things recorded here. Chen Wenzhe still likes history very much, otherwise he would not be able to learn how to appraise it.

In the days that followed, Chen Wenzhe calmed down and stopped running around.

However, he has some contacts in Nanyue. Even if he is at home, someone will bring treasures to his door in the future.

Of course, during this period, he needs to hire some middlemen to ask.

By going back to the history of South Vietnam, Chen Wenzhe saw the whereabouts of some treasures, and he was asking people to research them. Maybe he could persuade them to send them to their door.

On this day, after seeing the repaired ceramics factory, he sat down in his office.

While drinking coffee from the local region, Chen Wenzhe comfortably picked up a book.

This is a "Nanyue Han Nan Bibliography Topic", which lists all kinds of books in the history of South Vietnam.

Among the existing "Historical Records" of ancient Chinese books in South Vietnam, only the "Nanyue Hannan Literature Catalog Title" is listed. There are 16 kinds of history works in the category of domestic history, 1 category of foreign history, and 3 categories of literature, a total of 20. kind.

The emergence of so many "Historical Records" documents in ancient South Vietnam shows the close connection between ancient South Vietnam and Chinese culture.

As for so many "Historical Records" documents in South Vietnam, do their titles originate from the general name "Shiji" for historical books in the pre-Qin period, or the proper name "Historical Records" for Taishi Gongshu?

Judging from the existing materials, it seems to be more influenced by the proper name in Sima Qian's "Historical Records".

Chen Wenzhe obtained the five kinds of historical books in the "Historical Records" category compiled by the South Vietnamese officials, all of which are general histories in chronological style.

However, the title of his book "Historical Records" can be said to be influenced by Sima Qian's "Historical Records".

Of course, these are not important, what is important is what he can get through these historical records.

The ancient books of Nanyue were severely damaged, and there may be scattered chapters handed down from the Li Dynasty, but none of the entire classics were handed down;

There are many scattered articles of the Chen Dynasty, and the only one handed down of the entire Chen Dynasty is "A Brief History of Dayue". Now the most preserved documents are the Hou Le Dynasty and the Nguyen Dynasty.

The Later Li Dynasty was established in the Yongle and Xuande years of the Ming Dynasty. It was about 500 years before Sima Qian's "Historical Records" was written, and the circulation of "Historical Records" in Vietnam is unknown.

However, it can be seen from the "Historical Records" of South Vietnam that the Chen Dynasty of South Vietnam took "Historical Records" as the official form of history books, so there was Li Wenxiu's "Historical Records of Dayue" edited by Li Wenxiu, an official of Emperor Taizong of Chen Dynasty, and it was also the case in the later Li Dynasty, so there was official Li Renzong Xiu Pan Fuxian's "Historical Records of Dayue".

Until Wu Shilian compiled the "Complete Book of Historical Records of Dayue", the name "Historical Records" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and later historians handed down the rest.

Influenced by Wu Shilian's "Dayue Shiji Quanshu" and Sima Qian's "Historical Records" at the same time, ancient scholars in South Vietnam formed a considerable number of "Historical Records" documents from history to literature.

To sum it up, it seems that from the Li Dynasty, to the Chen Dynasty, to the Houli Dynasty and the Nguyen Dynasty, there are four or five dynasties in total, with a history of thousands of years.

Let’s not talk about it before the Five Dynasties, that is part of China, and almost all of the next four or five dynasties used Chinese as the official language, so it should be no problem to issue some imperial edicts recorded in Chinese characters.

The reason why we know the whereabouts of an imperial decree lies in the set of manuscripts discovered by Chen Wenzhe.

As mentioned earlier, this set of manuscripts was copied from the collection of a big collector over there.

He is a businessman, this one is called Xu Huang, he is different from the general Taiwanese businessmen in South Vietnam, especially with different hobbies.

During Xu Huang's business years in this place, he did not spend his time on romantic occasions because of the loneliness of the foreign land. He likes to find ancient books with Chinese characters to pass the time.

Twenty or thirty years ago, he rode a motorcycle and swept the streets in Huming City.

Because he was bored in a foreign land, he suddenly wanted to read some familiar words. At this time, there happened to be a second-hand book market nearby, so he went.

Originally, he just wanted to find an old Chinese book to pass the time, but he accidentally found a thread-bound ancient Chinese book in the local area.

This kind of bound book is a good thing at first glance.

Although the suspicion may be false, he was still driven by curiosity and paid a lot of money to buy these old books.

The owners of the second-hand bookstore also liked this generous boss very much. The two chatted for a while and were very satisfied with each other.

This person is Wanwan, a well-known collector of South Vietnamese cultural relics and the founder of "Xu Huang Library".

He loves the ancient culture of South Vietnam and has collected at least 3000 Vietnamese and Chinese documents.

Including the memorials of the Nanyue emperor, folk contracts, Chinese newspapers, etc., covering almost all fields, and thousands of ancient and modern books in Chinese in the Nanyue edition.

He is also well-known in the industry, and many people come here to ask him for advice and exchange collections of South Vietnam.

Many Southeast Asian research experts in the world will come across the sea to find him, hoping to take a look at his many collections.
