? The existing versions of The Romance of Three Kingdoms can be divided into three systems according to their contents: one is the popular Romance of Three Kingdoms, which belongs to Jiajing, Zhou Yue and Xia Zhenyu; The second is the system of Biography of the Three Kingdoms, which belongs to Shuangfeng, Zhu, Lian Hui and Guan. Third, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms system, in which Mao Zonggang belongs. The first of the four fantastic books belongs to the third edition of Mao.
? In the interpretation of Jin Ping Mei, Wang Rumei said: "Under the guidance of thoughts, her husband Shen presided over the publication of the first of the four fantastic books, which opened a new stage of Four Great Classical Novels's publishing and set a great milestone in the history of China's novels. Huang Mosi (the signatory) said in the Collection of Short Stories:' I have read all the four wonderful books in the Mustard Garden'. Peking University has the first of four wonderful books, Mustard Garden, which has been published 17 to 120 times. " "Water Margin" has a mustard garden magazine, which has been published for hundreds of times. "Jin Ping Mei and The Journey to the West should also have mustard garden publications, but I didn't see them today. Because Li Yu died at the beginning of the second year of writing a preface for Mao's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the other three publications should be published after his death, and Li Yu failed to participate. "
Tan Fan also said in "Strange Books and Talented Books-An Interpretation of a Cultural Phenomenon in the History of Novels in the Late Ming and Early Qing Dynasties": ... It is said that the' Four Wonder Books' were published, and we can know that the' Four Wonder Books' series were published. The fourth volume of Huang Mosi's collection of short stories:' I have seen the four original engravings of mustard seed garden, with good paper and ink, and I have left them. Every time I paint in front of the scroll, the characters are lifelike, and a lithograph pictorial of Shizhai in recent times is published, while the costumes and utensils are still made in Han Dynasty, which can be used as a map of Bo Gu for foreigners to read. (The Story of the Forest, No.2)
? Huang Moses, formerly known as Zhenyuan, was named Mu An; Middle-aged people changed their names to yellow people, and the word Moses was not a savage, wild and poetic tiger. Zhaowen County, Jiangsu Province, was born in Tongzhi of Qing Dynasty for five years. 18 years in Wuzhong, 13 years in Soochow University to teach Chinese, and he is the author of China Literature History, New Encyclopedia Dictionary and other famous books. He has read the original version of the four wonderful books in Mustard Garden, and the evaluation is quite high, but he has only read it before. Looking up the catalogue of rare books of ancient books in China recorded eleven rare books about the Three Kingdoms, which is called the first of the four rare books. Now it is stored in the National Library: "Four Musts, the first category, 60 volumes and 120 chapters, written by Ming Luo in Qing Dynasty, reviewed by Mao Zonggang and Hang Yongnian, read the laws of the Three Kingdoms as one volume, and printed by Kangxi in Qing Dynasty". According to the data, this book is Zui Gengtang's book, and its title is Collection of Folk Songs (Horizontal Engraving)/Three Kingdoms Ancient Books/Four Wonders/The First Kind, and its title is One of the Four Wonders/Comment on Mao Zonggang's Preface to Maoyuan/Comment on Wu Men's Hangyong's Theory of seniority. Zuikengtang is a big-character poster, or it is homologous to Mustard Garden, but it is not Mustard Garden. As for the existing mustard seed orchard, only one remnant was found in Peking University, which was stored for 17 to 120 times.
? Obviously, the first of the four wonderful books in Mustard Seed Garden is extremely rare.
Shen Bojun, executive vice president and secretary general of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Society, proofreads the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although it is based on the first of the four wonderful books in the Mustard Garden, it is based on Dakui's regular book, Xiu Xiang's first scholar's book gold award, Shi Yinben's Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the enlarged picture of the Three Kingdoms. However, he said in the preface of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "In the early years of Qing Emperor Kangxi, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms (formerly known as the first of the Four Wonders) was published by Mao Lun and Mao Zonggang, which was still in Even Xiu Xiang doesn't know how many photos he has. He can only say "dozens of photos of Zhang Xiu" in general. I think the Mustard Garden he used is a copy, a remnant of the library of Peking University. The library of Peking University lacks the previous 16 chapters, and there is a volume of Reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which the character Xiu Xiang is. Naturally, it is impossible to know how many photos there are.
In A Brief History of Woodcarving: Woodcarving in the Early Qing Dynasty, Mr. Zheng Zhenduo mentioned that "Three Kingdoms Figures" (1679) are all wood carvings with figures as the theme, among which "Three Kingdoms Figures" are the most spiritual. This is a pocket edition called "The First of the Four Wonders", which was the original engraving of Shi Mao's comments at that time. Every word, even the pleats, are carefully studied. The carver is ingenious and unusual, and he refuses to make a simple statement. "
? This statement is the same as Huang Mosi's statement. He said: "I have seen the original engraving of the four wonderful books in Mustard Garden. The paper and ink are all good, and the rest are still the same. Every time I paint in front of the scroll, the characters are alive and refined, far from the recent Shizhai lithograph pictorial. However, the costumes are still made in the Han Dynasty and can be viewed as a map of Bo Gu, which can also be read by people in other places. " Have the same effect. I think what Mr. Zheng Zhenduo saw was probably the mustard garden edition, because besides that, there was the Zuiguangtang edition, which was printed in big letters, not the pocket edition.
? Today's discoverer is the pocket edition, with 60 volumes 120 chapters, and the Reading Law of the Three Kingdoms with one volume and 20 volumes. The edition is called The First Scholar's Book, with the words "Mustard Garden" on each leaf at the bottom, and the first title is "The First of the Four Wonders", "The Book of Holy Sighs", "The Collection of Songs and Mountains" and "The Preface of Mao Zonggang/Wumenhang Yongnian in Maoyuan". At the end of each volume, there are the titles of "Four Wonder Books, Volume I" and "Preface to Maoyuan Mao Zonggang". White mouth, left and right, the first half 10 line, 23 words in the line, the title of the book has been lost, the first preface to the title of Jia Shenjia, Ping Yue Shuo Li, Jin and Sheng Tan in the Shunzhi period, the third introspective reading, the second ordinary example, the second general catalogue, and the second. In Xiu Xiang's 40 paintings, "the characters are like life, and the details are intact", "even the folds are carefully studied, and the carvings are ingenious and refuse to be simple".
The word "Xuan" is taboo in book search. There are two kinds of words: the last one and the last one. Obviously, it should be carved in the late Shunzhi period in the early Qing Dynasty or the early Kangxi period. The author of the missing engraving was later gouged out, but it was not exhausted. This has happened many times in the same leaf.
Although the publication of the first part of the four wonderful books is no problem, it is not certain that it is mustard garden, although it is indicated in the center of the edition. Because Hou Yanfen said in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "Li Liwen reviewed the twenty-four volumes of The Three Kingdoms for one hundred and twenty times. "Mustard Seed Garden" was published in the early Qing Dynasty, 120 leaves, the first half 10 line, 22 words. Collected in the Library of Literature Department of Kyoto University, Japan. " Different from this full version.
Can this be the legendary mustard seed garden book "the first of the four wonders"? Is this the legendary mustard garden "the first of the four wonders"?
