The tampering with ancient books in Qing Dynasty was mainly in the process of compiling Sikuquanshu.
When Qing Qianlong compiled Sikuquanshu, the total number of books unfavorable to Qing Dynasty was destroyed, which was 13600 according to statistics. The total number of books burned is 6.5438+0.5 million. The total number of destroyed plates is170,8000. In addition to burning books, the Qing Dynasty systematically destroyed the archives of the Ming Dynasty. There are only over 3,000 pieces in archives of ming dynasty, mainly the Ministry of War archives of the Apocalypse and Chongzhen Dynasties, and a few official documents of Hongwu, Yongle, Xuande, Chenghua, Zhengde, Jiajing, Qin Long, Wanli and Taichang Dynasties. The rest of archives of ming dynasty is estimated to be no less than100000 copies, all of which have been destroyed. In addition to destroying books and files, Qing also systematically tampered with the remaining books and files.
The compilation and revision of Sikuquanshu can be said that all the books in the country have to be censored, which is not only unfavorable for banning Yu Daqing's literature, but also unfavorable for tampering with the previous characters involving Khitan, Nuzhen, Mongolia, Liao, Jin and Yuan. More than 3,000 kinds of banned books and more than 0/50,000 books/kloc were seized. More than 700,000 books were burned, and as many books were banned as those in Ku's collection. "At the beginning of the imperial edict, teeth in unofficial history next season. Later, the Siku Library discussed that Wei Jin people said Liao Jin Yuan and Ming Dynasty people said Yuan Yuan. This argument is even more ridiculous, and everything will be destroyed ... After Qin Long, as for the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it was written by ministers, and all the decadent things were left behind. " During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the works of Huang Daozhou, Yuan Jixian, Qian, Gu, Huang Zongxi and Sun Qifeng were all banned. Later, it was slightly relaxed. Some people's works need not be destroyed as long as they are "changed and violated." However, the works of Qian, Qu Dajun, Jin Bao, Wang Xihou and Yin Jiaquan are strictly prohibited. There are "nearly 3,000 kinds of books were destroyed during the Qianlong period, with more than 60,000 volumes, and there are many kinds, which are almost the same as the number of books in the four libraries". Wu Han said, "The Qing people compiled the Sikuquanshu, and the ancient books died!" The literary inquisition was so thorough that Wu Sangui's article on Anti-Qing Movement, a book on Ten Days in Yangzhou and a book on A Brief Introduction to Jiading Slaughterhouse were annihilated in China for more than 200 years, and it took another 200 years to find them out from Japan!
It is a well-known fact that many ancient books collected in Sikuquanshu have been tampered with. The compilers of Sikuquanshu tried their best to abandon and destroy the works reflecting ethnic contradictions, ethnic oppression and national fighting spirit, and tampered with the famous works that had to be included. For example, Yue Fei's famous sentence "Man Jiang Hong" "Hungry for pork, laughing at Hun blood". "Gourd" and "Xiongnu" were taboo in Qing Dynasty. So the librarian of Sikuquanshu changed it to "Hungry for food and eating meat, laughing and talking about bleeding." Zhang Xiaoxiang's masterpiece "Song of Six Kingdoms: Looking Long and Brokeback" describes that the hometown of Confucius in the north was occupied by Jin people: "On temples, the land of string songs is also fishy." Taboo "fishy smell" was changed to "withering". Chen Liang's "The tune of water is not long" says: "Yaodu, Shundi, Yufeng. There should be a semi-shameful minister in the middle. " "Shame on my honor" broke the taboo and changed to "holding a carved bow". What's even more ridiculous is that Xin Qiji's "The Sunset Grass Trees, Ordinary Alleys, Humanity Sending Slaves to Live" was changed to "Humanity Song Zhuren once lived". "Sending slaves" is posthumous title of Song Wudi, the founding emperor of the Southern Dynasties. The emperor was nicknamed, and the librarian of Sikuquanshu, who was used to being a slave, felt uncomfortable and changed it.
Another example is the "Khitan Official Instrument" in the Song Dynasty, which records the knowledge of Liao State: "The officials of Hu people and those who lead secondary vocational schools all wear it, which is called the Khitan official. Tommy, the word minister, is called the secret of North Shu and the Prime Minister of North. The person who leads Yan's secondary vocational work is called Han Guan, although the conference semifinals are also Hanfu. The ruler is the prime minister and secretary of the south. " Si Kuben was changed to: "The officials in charge of secondary vocational affairs in Qidan are called Qidan officials. Tommy, the word minister, is called the secret of North Shu and the Prime Minister of North. The person who leads Yan to work in a secondary vocational school is called Han Guan, although China people are also Hanfu. The ruler is the prime minister and secretary of the south. " Remove "Khufu" and "Ren Hu".
