Both books quoted a lot of ancient books, a lot, really a lot.
For example, Astrology in volume 14-22, and volumes 7-8 of Zong, are all directly quoted.
Wan commented on this book like this:
The name of this book is San Chen Tong Zai.
According to Chen's "Jie Zhi Zhai Problem" in the Southern Song Dynasty and Ma Duanlin's "Literature General Examination" in the Yuan Dynasty, the book "Chen San Tong Zai" has 34 volumes (or 30 volumes), which was written by Jiahe Qian and is a compilation of five-star life skills. Say the five-star is the oldest!
Unfortunately, The Deep Sea of Stars is not as popular as Yuan Haiziping. For a long time, we can only see some of its contents in Zhang Guoxing Zong or Xing Xue Da Cheng, but it is difficult to see its true colors.
Fortunately, after all, we still have a chance to see the whole book Three Stories. As shown in the above picture, what we can see at present is 30 volumes. "It is complete from beginning to end and looks perfect."
We will find some ancient books by comparison.
As Wan said, "Sanzai" is a collection of classic works, such as Yuan Sui, Western Heaven Poison Cases and so on. In three years, there are classics and ge, and the result of their style is "original text", sometimes the quotation is wrong, or the original text is mixed with Yutong. (Of course, the uncertainty is Wan Minying's problem, and it may also be the version that Wan Minying saw. )
For example, "Star Learning" and "Lao Guo Xingzong" editions:
"Three Chen Tong Zai" Edition:
There are some omissions, such as:
"Star Learning Success" version:
"Three Chen Tong Zai" Edition:
"Star Learning Success" version:
"Three Chen Tong Zai" Edition:
"Star Learning Success" version:
"Three Chen Tong Zai" Edition:
So some ancient books are incomprehensible. It may not be that the level is not enough, but that there is something wrong with the original text. . .
Therefore, if there is an opportunity, you can have a look at these three Chen Tong cubs. After all, the contents quoted in Xing Xue Da Cheng and Zhang Guoxing Comprehensive are only a part of the three Chen Tong.
