The destruction of China traditional culture by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime is still serious, because its attitude towards Confucius is strongly resisted. Hong Xiuquan once wrote: "Any heresy of Confucius and Mencius is forbidden to buy or sell, and it is forbidden to hide and read." The reader seals, the recipient seals, and the buyer and seller seal together. 1854, because Yang stopped it in the name of "father", in desperation, he set up a book deletion officer who he personally caught to delete the "bad words" in ancient books, but the book deletion officer only decided to publish a few ancient books. Many new books have been published, and according to expert research, there are more than forty kinds of * * *. What we know now is political documents and propaganda materials, which combine politics and religion.
It is said that Li Xiucheng, a loyal gentleman, was almost killed when he was a junior official in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, because he hid to read "banned books".
Therefore, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement destroyed many ancient books, which is difficult to count. The famous event was that Yuelu Academy was destroyed by war when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom attacked Changsha. It was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is estimated that many ancient books have been lost. In addition, Qianlong also ordered people to copy seven copies of SikuQuanshu, and ordered people to hide them all over the country, including three in the south, which were hidden in Wen Hui Pavilion in Yangzhou, Wenzong Pavilion in Zhenjiang and Wen Lan Pavilion in Hangzhou. When Taiping Army conquered Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, the books of Yangzhou Wen Hui Pavilion and Zhenjiang Wenzong Pavilion were all destroyed. When the Taiping Army captured Hangzhou for the second time in A.D. 186 1, a large number of books were lost. Brother Ding Shen Ding Bing, a book collector in Hangzhou, collected these remains and got 865,438+040 volumes, only a quarter of the original book. 1864, when the Taiping Army retreated, the Shi Ding brothers bought it from the people at a large price. 1880, Wen Lan Pavilion was rebuilt on the original site of the old pavilion. The Shi Ding brothers returned the books and copied them one by one.
