The legend of Fan Qin is only the simplest thing, his 70,000-volume library, and his library. Books in the Ming Dynasty are very expensive, and a book can sell for 200 taels of silver. At that time, there were only a few hundred thousand volumes in the palace library. With Fan Qin's income, it took 50 years to buy a few thousand books without eating or drinking. Where did these 70,000 volumes come from?
The answer is simple, copy. Most of Tianyi Pavilion's books were exchanged by Fan Qin with other bibliophiles with books of the same value, and then copied by hand. Sometimes, in order to communicate as scheduled, Fan Qin would copy for days and nights, and he worked hard until he died at the age of 80.
The Book of Changes says that water is born, and the land is 60%. Of the five elements, the sky belongs to water. In order to resist the fire, Fan Qin named his library Tianyi Pavilion. In fact, for more than 400 years, the real power to keep the fire away is the pool of water in the hearts of every generation of this family, which is simple but endless.
