The first thing he did when editing Sikuquanshu was to collect books all over the country, collect rare books and look for famous works with hidden peaks. Emperor Qianlong issued a decree ordering the provinces to collect books for dedication, but the governors did not fully understand its sacred intention. Emperor Qianlong also knew the suspicion of the local governor. In the past 38 years, Gan Long has once again promulgated laws, with special emphasis on writing and publishing writers' statements. Every writer has his own advantages, and his records are inaccurate.
Inevitably accept everything. The prejudice of the predecessor has nothing to do with neighboring countries. Why should I be shy and reassure the Governor? Recently, "reformers" have caused a lot of controversy, and many of them praised me. In my spare time, many people cry foul, so I have been thinking. I think Li Hongzhang's traitor hat can't be deleted. The full name of Sikuquanshu was written by more than 360 senior officials and scholars and copied by more than 3,800 people under the auspices of the emperor.
It took 13 years to compile a set of books, which are divided into four parts: classics, history, children and collectibles. So Emperor Siku Qianlong was very angry and ordered the governor to visit again, but the result was not satisfactory. Generally speaking, the number of books produced in these two provinces does not exceed 100, far less than large books. Of course, the reason is that local authorities are afraid to do accounts.
From the above, I understand why the world will say that "the Qing people compiled the" Four Ku Quanshu "imperial book, and the old book is dead". It can be seen that Sikuquanshu was successfully compiled for some reason. First of all, there is a stable social environment.
