But first of all, although the popular history books were deleted in the Qing Dynasty, those changes were not great, or they were in line with the "harmonious" characteristics of modern society, such as replacing or deleting some angry languages.
And many books just think they may be fake books. It's hard to say who is right or wrong, just like the ancient and modern Confucian argument.
If you really want to find those originals, there should be many in the National Palace Museum in Taipei-there were records of revision and destruction at that time. But this is only a possible guess, because the Forbidden City has experienced many changes in history, especially the turmoil in the late Qing Dynasty. It is said that those documents were kept tightly in the warehouse of the Forbidden City during the Qing Dynasty.
Recently, a documentary said that in 19 12, a batch of 8,000 sacks were almost destroyed as waste paper. Fortunately, some of them were rescued by folk forces, including the manuscripts of Hong Chengchou and others in the Ming Dynasty. These things should be piled up in the research institute of the university now
Then there are archaeological discoveries in recent years, such as the phenomenon that many ancient books should be fake, but they just appear in ancient tombs. .
Finally, it is a pity that the academic atmosphere in Chinese mainland is rather poor, or few people pay attention to the truth of history unless they are specialized research institutions and personnel. In other words, it is the concept of "pirated books", not only modern books can be pirated, but also ancient books. Or most people who buy ancient books in bookstores go back to decorate them. . I bought a historical record of 100 last year. . .
Haha, move downstairs again. .
I feel that liberal arts universities should have these things. Shanghai Fudan University also seems to have a "thread-bound library". It is said that there are millions of "thread-bound books", all of which are said to be before the Republic of China. Http://www.jdgjs.org/ This is the webpage of Institute of Ancient Books of Jilin University. There should be a lot of related professional research, but generally only professionals can understand it.
In addition, my personal feeling is actually what the Italian Claude said: "All history is contemporary history". In the modern atmosphere, it is conceivable that what I want to read most in bed after a day's work is popular nonsense or fantasy books. Reading ancient books is very tiring. So there is no need to lament that people are not ancient or anything. To paraphrase that sentence, it is called "folk customs, the direction of the national pulse."
Finally, I don't want to judge Lao Mao. Think about whether a person who doesn't respect scholars will respect knowledge. It's just grandstanding However, although he contributed to China's "cultural desert", on the whole, what he did was right, or a necessary choice of that era.
