Who edited Yongle Dadian?

Compilation and Revision of The Grand Ceremony of Yongle Buddhist Scripture Zhou Yunqing1At the beginning of the 5th century, in the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1404), Cheng Zu (Judy) ordered imperial academy Bachelor, You Chunfang Jie Jin and others 147 people to compile the document Dacheng, which was completed the following year. Due to the rush of time, some people pointed out the shortcoming of "there are still many things to be compiled" Appointed, Yao, Prince Xuan, Liu Xiuchi, assistant minister of punishments, and others as supervisors, Wang Jing, the dean of Hanlin bachelor, and Zou Ji, the vice president of Hanlin bachelor, to continue compiling books. All the 2 169 people who participated in it were actually completed in Yongle 6 1 1 month. It is written on the original basis of the documentary masterpiece, which takes three times as much time, has more manpower and really enriches the content. This is the earliest and largest encyclopedia in the history of China, Yongle Dadian (hereinafter referred to as the Dadian). There are 22,937 volumes of Gift, including 60 volumes (Ming Shi Lu 222 1 1 volume, according to the Preface to Yongle Dadian), which is loaded as 1 1095 volume. There is only one original, hidden in Beijing Wenlou; In the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), Zhu Houzong (Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty) ordered many Confucian scholars such as Cheng Daonan and others 100 to re-record a copy, which was completed in the first year of Qin Long (1567). Originally transferred to Wen Yuan Pavilion, the copy is kept in Huangshiguang. When the Ming Dynasty perished, it was first burned together with Wenyuan Pavilion. During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of Qing Dynasty (1735- 1748), the manuscript was moved to imperial academy, and by that time, 2,422 volumes were incomplete. In the thirty-eighth year of Qianlong (1773), the compilation of Sikuquanshu was initiated, and 4946 volumes of important ancient books such as the subset of classics and history were compiled from the grand ceremony. Such as Shao Jin's "History of the Old Five Dynasties" and Dai Zhenxiao's "Notes on Water Classics". In the 14th year of Jiaqing (1809), Vae endorsed Song (200 copies were photocopied, but not divided into volumes) and compiled 300 copies of Song Zhongli's Book (the original book was lost). Based on this, we know that great achievements have been made in a large number of ancient books before the Ming Dynasty preserved in big stores. The Qing government was corrupt, and part of the ceremony was stolen and lost; /kloc-in 0/900, imperialist Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, most of the ceremony was burned, and the undamaged part was looted by invaders such as the United States, Britain, France and Japan. This catastrophe is one of the greatest evidences that imperialism destroyed the ancient culture of China. After the robbery, there were only 64 copies left; It is now kept in Beijing Library. Since then, Beijing Library has increased its collection of books and accumulated a little. Since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the parts preserved in the Soviet Union and the GDR have been returned to China by the two governments. Together with donations from domestic organs and individuals, up to now, there are 7 14 volumes, all of which are kept in the rare books of Beijing Library. Recently, the museum was collected by Zhonghua Book Company, and borrowed 16 photos from abroad, totaling 730 copies, which have been photocopied and published, divided into 202 copies and packed into 20 letters. Da Dian has the dual nature of books and series, and its style is not rigorous. It takes things as official documents, texts as official documents and books as official documents. But judging from its preservation of many ancient anecdotes more than 500 years ago, its achievements are not small. The compilation of Buddhist classics into the ceremony deserves attention. According to the Catalogue of Grand Ceremony, there are 649 kinds of Buddhist scriptures, with volume 18 19. Compared with the Catalogue of Three Monks in Daming and 6,361 Volumes published in Yongle five years, the number of species accounts for more than four tenths, and the number of volumes accounts for 28.6%. However, some multi-volume classics were merged again when the Grand Ceremony was compiled. For example, the original five volumes of The King's Classic of Buddha's Top Wheel were merged into one volume, so the number of volumes was reduced. According to the Records of Northern Tibet, there are sixteen classics and thirty-eight volumes, which are unprecedented in the Records of the Grand Ceremony. Among the eleven categories labeled as "one word" or "Buddhism", only three categories are included in the Catalogue of Grand Ceremony, which shows that the collection of Grand Ceremony is very small compared with that in northern Tibet. The criteria for canceling it need further discussion. It is worth noting that neither Tang's translation nor Song Shihu's translation has received much praise. It should also be noted that some Buddhist scriptures, like other ancient books, were indeed included in the ceremony, but not in the catalogue. For example, under "Send to the End" of the ceremony, there is a list of great treasures sent to the end by Fayuan Zhu Lin (Volume 22869 of the catalogue only describes the robbery of Fayuan Zhu Lin) and sent to the end. There are many such examples, and books such as the subset of classics and history other than Buddhist scriptures are even more numerous. Yao, who supervised the ceremony, has always participated in politics as a monk. He is the man who tried his best to help the prince (Judy) ascend to the throne. According to Ming History (Volume 145) and Biography of Ming Books (Volume 160), Yao was born in Changzhou (now Suzhou, Jiangsu) and became a monk at the age of fourteen. He is famous for his Taoist teachings and Confucian classics. At the beginning of Chengzu's reign, a monk recorded Zuoshan Stone. In the second year of Yongle, he won the top prize and was regarded as a doctor, Prince Shao Shi. I used to live in a Buddhist temple, wearing a crown and facing the court, but I still took off my clothes and never changed my robes for life. There are eleven volumes of Yi Subset, eight volumes of Supplement to Course Manuscripts and one volume of Tao Luyu. Chen Jichuan in the Ming Dynasty told a historical story about him and Yao. Chen Jin (now Changzhou, Jiangsu Province) studied hundreds of classics. He wrote a grand ceremony for his ancestors and edited Buyi as the president of the capital. He led thousands of Confucian scholars in imperial academy and collected hundreds of thousands of books in the secret library. It is said that several people, such as Chen Ji and Yao, set an example to distinguish the hook test, but there is a sorting method. It is also mentioned in the Classic of Textual Research on Continuing Literature that Yao and other philosophers are studying in all directions, and Literature Dacheng has been reorganized into Yongle Dadian. As can be seen from the above information, among the people of insight in China hired by Yao for compiling the ceremony, there are many eminent monks and great virtues in famous temples. For example, there are good understanding, respectful practice, guides, big boys, Huai Jin and so on. In Zhu Yizun's Comprehensive Poems of Ming Dynasty, Volume 91; See Volume 5 of Add-on Lights Record, including Hangzhou Jingshan Daizong Xintai, Heather Wen Xiu, An Zhi Puzhen, Suzhou, etc. In the sixth volume of the four episodes of New Biography of Monks, there are Zufang Tonglian, Zhaoan, Xin Yuan, Dong Baishanqi, Shiyi and so on. According to Volume 9 of Records of Jingci Temple, Tao Ren, the ancestral home, was "re-employed as the president of Buddhism" and participated in the compilation of the ceremony with Zhao An Jingzong and others, and Nishigu Shiyi was "in the first place". In the process of compiling the ceremony, they have quite high standards and requirements for the acquisition of Buddhist classics, which may include a large number of rare books, rare books and ancient Buddhist classics, which is also worth noting.
