They love local culture, and once launched the crowdfunding of the Ming Chenghua version of Chuzhou Fuzhi.
Local chronicles are books that comprehensively record the nature, society, politics, economy and culture of a certain period and region, and are important reference books for studying general history, dynastic history, special history and regional history. "Chuzhou has a prosperous culture and vast literature. All previous dynasties attached importance to the compilation of local chronicles. Since the Song Dynasty, there have been 1 1 records. The existing Ming Chenghua, Wanli, Chongzhen and Qing Yongzheng and Guangxu editions are mostly collected in major libraries at home and abroad. " Ye Jinjun, a lover of Lishui literature and history, introduced the history of Chuzhou Prefecture Records to reporters. The post-80s generation is one of the main leaders of this crowdfunding.
Because he usually likes local culture, Ye Jinjun has been collecting and sorting out relevant documents for many years, among which county chronicles and local government chronicles are the focus of his collection. Before crowdfunding to photocopy the Guangxu version of Chuzhou Fuzhi, Ye Jinjun initiated the recognition of the Minghua version of Chuzhou Fuzhi at the beginning of this year.
"The Ming Chenghua version of Fuzhi is the earliest local chronicles in Lishui, and there is no complete collection in China." Ye Jinjun told reporters that in the second half of 20 18, he and other lovers of literature and history decided to photocopy the Ming version of Chuzhou Fuzhi, found an electronic version suitable for photocopying, and contacted the printing factory. Later, they formed a WeChat crowdfunding group to bring colleagues who like local culture into the group. By the beginning of last year, 1 1, there were 230 sets of Ming Dynasty Chu.
"There are only three collections in China, namely Beijing Library, Shanghai Library and Ningbo Tianyi Pavilion, but they are all incomplete. Among them, the collection of the Beijing Library was deposited in the Library of Congress at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War and is now kept by the National Palace Museum in Taipei. " According to Ye Jinjun, in the spring of 1967, Taiwanese historian Mr. Song consulted the Catalogue of Existing Japanese Local Records of Ming Dynasty compiled by Yukio Yamamoto, and found that the Japanese National Assembly Library contained local records of Ming Dynasty. 1In the summer of 967, when Song went to the United States to attend the 27th International Conference of Oriental Scholars, he passed through Tokyo and asked Professor Su Zhenshen of Taiwan Province History to apply to the Japanese Library of Congress to make a film and bring it back for reference. Only the Ming Chenghua version of Chuzhou Prefecture Records has a complete version.
In the process of photocopying, they found many "Lishui old stories"
Photocopying an ancient book is not a simple matter. After finding a good version, a lot of work such as retouching and proofreading is needed. In Ye Jinjun's view, the most difficult thing is to check the school. "When photocopying the Ming Chenghua edition of Chuzhou Prefecture Records, we need to be very careful because there are some bugs and pollution in the book. Everyone uses their spare time to proofread every word of the manuscript, and there are unclear questions that are repeatedly discussed and studied in our WeChat group. In the end, after four major proofreading and countless minor proofreading, it was repeatedly confirmed to be correct, and it was not until the end of March this year that the proofreading work was finally completed. "
There are as many as 8 1 species of bibliographies quoted in the Chenghua edition of Chuzhou fuzhi, which shows that the documents of past dynasties were widely cited at that time and had important historical value. The process of photocopying is also a review of Lishui's past lives. You have discovered many "Lishui Old Stories" that have not been discovered before.
"When studying this set of local chronicles, we also discussed the compilation of local chronicles version history. Through a large number of data collection, the conclusion that local chronicles were generally compiled in Shaoxing in the twenty-seventh year was finally overturned, and the compilation time was at least advanced to the end of Tang Dynasty. Many of the dates when the temples were built in the Temple View of Chenghua government records may come from earlier versions. " Ye Jinjun said, "There is another question, that is, whether this' kuo' or that' kuo' is that' kuo'. Everyone has found out almost all the relevant records since the Tang Dynasty, and made a wide-ranging comparative study of the "broad" tree. Another example is the dispute over the source of the name Lishui. Although they didn't form * * * knowledge in the end, they learned a lot of local cultural knowledge behind them and benefited a lot. "
This set of eighteen volumes of Ming Chenghua County Records was photocopied in May 2065438+2009, and many people who knew it received this beautifully bound photocopy. "Very meaningful!" "The printing quality is really good!" ..... Soon, more and more literature and history lovers knew about it and came to ask for books. Unfortunately, because of the limited print run, many literature and history lovers who like this set of books didn't get it in the end.
