The spread of Jing Yue

The pre-Qin academic tradition has a long history and is profound. Pre-Qin scholarship was in the Six Classics. There are mainly The Book of Songs, Shangshu, Book of Rites and Jing Yue. Later, Zhouyi and Chunqiu became important academics. "China has a tradition of Confucian classics since ancient times. Confucius studied classics ... China's Confucian classics came in parallel with his sub-education, and the classics formed earlier. " Confucius studied yue, revised.

Where there are music classics, there are "music records". Confucius' disciple Gongsun Nizi wrote Le Ji for Jing Yue, some of which were included in Dai Xiao's The Book of Rites Le Ji. Jing Yue and Yue Ji were destroyed by the fire in Qin State. After the Qin fire, it has not been circulated, and the music official can only play but can't talk about theory. It's hard to see the Music Written by Gongsun Nizi. "Hanshu" records: "Han Xing made his family obey the temperament of elegant music, and lived in a happy official, which was quite able to discipline his sonorous encouragement, but could not express his intention ... When Liang Wudi was in, Hejian presented Wang Haoru, and Sheng Mao and others * * * took Zhou Guan and other scholars, recorded music and presented eight poems." The Book of Music compiled by Hejian Wang Xian and Sheng Mao is just a substitute. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

It wasn't until Liu Xiang proofread the book that he discovered the real 23 pieces of Le Ji, and Wang Yucheng gradually disappeared.

Liu Xiang locked Jing Yue in Bielu's "Le Ji" 23 articles are as follows:

First, Leben;

There are only the first eleven chapters in The Rites of Little Dai. The Book of Music in The Book of Rites for Little Dai was originally composed of eleven articles.

Xunzi wrote The Theory of Music. The material cited in The Book of Rites Xiao Dai is from Xunzi's Theory of Music, which, in the words of Mr. Li Xueqin, is "leading to the theory of music". Some scholars think that:

In June1936+February 12, the fourth edition of Xijing People's Daily published the discovery of Jing Yue in Xunyi County, with the title: Jing Yue found only remnants in Yundong Feitian bamboo slips in Xunyi Ancient Temple. The subtitle is: This book will be kept by Chairman Shao in. The content is: Confucius deleted poetry books, collected rites and music, and became six classics, which is the fountain of China culture. After the Qin Fire, the Six Classics were lost, and with the calligraphy method of Han Dynasty, Qilu students had to memorize the original Classics, but they had to write poems, books, rituals, changes and the Five Classics of Spring and Autumn. The book "Jing Yue" was written without memory, which is a great regret that China lacked one of the Six Classics for 3,000 years. Jing Yue's discovery in Xunyi County of this province is really a rare treasure, and it is also a treasure of cultural circles. We will briefly describe this discovery in the following:

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, in Zhidao Village, Xunyi County, this province, there was a hermit named Wen Ping, also known as Xiong Ying Ye Meng, who was pregnant with his son. At the age of sixteen, it rained one day and he went for a walk in an ancient temple outside the village. The history of the temple cannot be verified, and bamboo slips are scattered on the ground. Wei weaves gray characters into tadpoles, so he can't read them. So Wen Jun checked them and hid them at home. After more than 20 years, Wen Jun has laid a solid foundation. After consulting all kinds of books, he began to sort out bamboo slips, only to know that it was the full text of Jing Yue, so he wrote it and explained it as this text, adding notes as appropriate, and wrote more than ten books without words and easy meanings, such as Zhouyi. Famous works are recorded in Xunyi County Records. After the death of Mr. Wen, bamboo slips have been lost after more than 200 years of war. There are scattered works, and the existing version of "Jing Yue" was collected by Mr. Wen, the late Mr. Wen, who is afraid of being lost again. Ten years ago, it was sent to Baojun Cave in Xiao for preservation. Xiao Baojun, a Chinese character, is an academician of the DPRK. He is 69 years old and has compiled Xunyi County Records. Zhicheng went to the provincial capital for printing at the expense of the county magistrate, and Xiao took the opportunity to lend out the printing that had been preserved for more than ten years, which was widely circulated. Upon receiving the news, Chairman Shao immediately sent Zheng Ziyijun, secretary of the provincial government (appointed as the county magistrate of Xunyi County in February this year) to Xunyi County on the 25th of last month and returned to the province on the 4th of this month. Yesterday, the reporter went to the provincial capital to meet with Secretary Zheng and asked about the contact situation in detail. According to the cloud, Xiao Jun lives in Feiyun Cave, which is located on a cliff in a valley more than 20 miles east of Xunyi County. The cliff is about 20 feet high, and the four floors of the cave are all artificially chiseled. This cave has a history of more than 1000 years. According to historical records, Wang Xingyu, an emissary in the late Tang Dynasty, claimed that soldiers committed crimes, occupied the cave, and were defeated by Li Keyong and fled. Later, there was the loss of Sango, the remonstrance of Xitai, and Athena Chu, an innocent soldier in Sanyuan County. Later defeated by Xu of the Ming Dynasty, Sang and Zhu led their wives to die under a cliff. Therefore, it is also called "Yiya Cave". The situation in the cave is strange. Drill a small hole from the cliff. A hole is like a well. After climbing more than six feet from the well, it reached a big hole. This hole has a window to the outside. This hole is Jun Xiao's living room, and it is also a big hole, a library, then the top hole, and the kitchen. Xiaojun's family lives in a cave and eats rice and water every day. From the next hole, it is transported to the top hole by pulley. Therefore, the book Jing Yue is firmly hidden here by Xiao Jun, and the original book can still be preserved due to the firmness and depth of the cave. Xiao Jun's family consists of seven people, including his wife, two sons, two daughters-in-law and one daughter. The eldest son studies in general, while the second son is good at literature. When Xiao Jun compiled Xunyi County Records, because of his advanced age, he only dictated the general idea, which was entirely written by his second son. Jun Xiao, under the cliff, has only 20 acres of land and only collects a few stones every year. It is not enough to support a family, so he is worried about cooking. Xiao Jun is a famous academician who keeps ancient books. People in society should care about Xiaojun and help him. The contents of Jing Yue collected by Xiao Jun were translated and explained in the late Ming Dynasty, so the contents are unknown. The book consists of three volumes, each of which is about 100 page. It is the most important paper in the late Ming Dynasty and is prefaced by Wen Ping. The first sentence of the first volume is Emperor Yue (the Yellow Emperor), followed by Teacher Yue (the musician named Lu), followed by the explanations of Confucius and Yan Zi, and so on. As can be seen from the news reports of that year, Le Ji discovered by 1936 in Xunyi County was translated and interpreted by a local hermit according to the bamboo slips in an ancient temple in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties (in ancient Buddhist temples, it belonged to the landlord class and often collected isolated ancient books or Buddhist scriptures), which was transmitted to Xiao Baojun, an academician of the previous dynasty, and then compiled by Shao Lizi, the then provincial president. Immediately sent the secretary Zheng. This report was published exclusively by Xijing People's Daily on June 5438+0936, February 12 and February 13 respectively. According to the report, Jing Yue was in the hands of Shao Lizi. The headline of the newspaper did not change the next day, but the subtitle was changed to: Reservation in the province. In any case, the provincial government will soon print and publish Jing Yue, and this reporter said that he found Jing Yue a "cultural treasure". But at this juncture, the Xi incident that shocked the world broke out, and the printing and publishing of Jing Yue never recovered.

After the Xi Incident, Shao Lizi was detained by two generals of JASON ZHANG and Nanjing government officials who came to Xi. Shao Lizi resigned as the provincial chairman five days after the incident, and Shao Lizi left Shaanxi after the xi incident was resolved. The Xi incident undoubtedly destroyed the printing and publishing in Jing Yue, and also wiped out the news that "the cultural circle has gained another treasure". Jing Yue once again passed the world by, and the original Jing Yue disappeared mysteriously, which became an irreparable regret in the cultural circle.

Some scholars have made such a guess. According to the report of Xijing People's Daily (65438+February 12), it is analyzed that it was originally in the hands of the provincial chairman when the An Incident occurred, but was detained and resigned after the An Incident. However, on February 3rd, Xijing People's Daily 65438+65438 changed its name and said that "the provincial government is going to Fu Zi", which cast a mysterious veil over the original Jing Yue. According to the subtitle analysis of the newspaper the next day, it shows that Shao Lizi, the chairman of the province, has made arrangements for this matter. Zheng Ziyi, the secretary of the provincial government, must know how to arrange the printing and publication of Jing Yue, and who has Jing Yue's original works naturally knows best. According to the report of Xijing People's Daily (65438+February 19) in Zheng Ziyi, "Du Bincheng, secretary-general of the provincial government, actively convened all the former subordinates after taking office, urged and promoted various affairs, and worked as usual every day for several days, with the section chief, secretary and accounting personnel unchanged", Jing Yue. After the Xi Incident, the chairman of the province changed hands, and the printing and publishing result of Jing Yue became a mystery that is still difficult to solve. Tsinghua University entered Tibet in July 2008. After two years of cleaning, protection and research, it was finally determined that there were 2,388 bamboo slips in Tsinghua.

Poetry of the Zhou Dynasty also appeared in Tsinghua bamboo slips. It is understood that "Poems, Books, Rites, Music, Yi, Spring and Autumn" are called "Six Classics", among which "Jing Yue" was lost because of burying books and burying Confucianism, leaving only the Five Classics. In the study of Qinghua Bamboo Slips, experts found the information that Zhou Wuwang drank and wrote poems in the ceremony after defeating the Li Dynasty. Some experts think this is the title of Jing Yue. There is also a chronological history book in the bamboo slips, which records the history from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the early Warring States Period. Surprisingly, a poem by Duke Zhou in bamboo slips is related to a poem by a cricket in The Book of Songs.
