First, Shu Meng's The Book of Songs
Shu Meng Shi Jing, also known as Zheng Guang Shi Jing, Shu Di Shi Jing, Shu Di Shi San Jing and Shu Di Shi San Jing, was created and engraved by Zheng Guang in the early years of Shu after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It was initiated and presided over by Wu, the prime minister of Shu, and it is the earliest complete compilation of annotations of thirteen Confucian classics in China.
The Book of Songs of Shu Meng is the first collection of the thirteen Confucian classics, and it is also the first time that the Confucian classic system won the name of the thirteen Confucian classics, which is of great historical significance.
Second, the history of cultural relics
Shu Meng Shi Jing is also called Zheng Guang Shi Jing because it was engraved in Zheng Guang period. It was carved in the early years by Meng Chang, the ruler of Houshu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and was presided over by Wu, the prime minister of Houshu. In the seventh year of Zheng Guang's reign (944), it was inscribed in The Book of Filial Piety, The Analects of Confucius and Er Ya, written by Zhang Dezhao, the county magistrate of Pingquan County in Jianzhou (now Jianyang, Sichuan). In the 14th year of Zheng Guang (95 1), it was carved into Shi Mao, Li Ji and Yi Li, written by the secretariat Zhang Shao.
The Book of Changes was written by Dr. Sun from Guo Zi. Shangshu was written by Zhou Dezheng. "Zhou Li" is a list of books written by Sun. The first seventeen volumes of Zuo Zhuan have no names. In Zheng Guang, a city in the back of Shu, * * * was carved into nine classics. In the Ming Dynasty, Cao Xuequan's "Notes on Places of Interest in Shu" and Zhao Bian's "Notes on Chengdu" were cited as "all ten classics are stones".
The former Shu and the latter Shu are located in the southwest, which is more stable and prosperous than the Central Plains. Wang Kai, the former prime minister of Shu, had thousands of books, and literature and art once flourished. Zhao, the prime minister of the post-Shu Dynasty, published books and engraved scriptures. Zhao hired a famous calligrapher to engrave and publish according to the revised Book of Songs. The Ten Classics of Zheng Guang published more than a thousand stones, which were listed as Yizhou National Studies, namely Shishi in Wen Weng in Han Dynasty and Shishi Middle School in Chengdu today.
Following the Ten Classics of Meng and Shu, the Song Dynasty supplemented three classics (collectively called "Thirteen Classics"), continued Zuo Zhuan's volume 18 to 30, and carved Mencius. That is, Zuo Zhuan (a collection of Spring and Autumn Annals), mainly printed by Shu Kuang, supplemented by 18 to 30 volumes of Biography of Ram and Biography of Hub and Beam, was completed in the first year of Emperor Yangdi (1049). Chao's The History of Ancient Prose and Textual Research on Stone Classics were completed in the sixth year of Dadao (1 170).
Mencius was written by Shu Gong and was written in the fifth year of Xuanhe (1 123). Shangshu and China Ancient Literature belong to the same category, and they are combined into thirteen classics (Xiao Jing, The Analects of Confucius, Er Ya, Shi Mao, Book of Rites, Yi Li, Zhouyi, Shangshu, Zhou Li, Zuo Zhuan, Yang Gongzhuan and Zhuan Liangzhuan).
There is also a textual research on Shi Jing, plus two kinds of Shang Shu, * * * Fifteen Canon. The Description of Stone Carving records the names and characters of the sculptors of each book in detail. The name of the sculptor can be found in Shi Mao, and the residual stone is "Zhangyan". In order to protect these large stone carvings, Hu, the guardian of Shu, built a "Stone Classics Museum" to collect them. The Book of Songs of Shu Meng is an important edition of collating classics in the Song Dynasty, which is as famous as Jianben in the Five Dynasties.
The destruction of Meng Shushi's classics was about the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. It is said to be used to repair the city. Today, this wall has not been demolished and it is not established. It is said that it was a cannon stone used to fight invaders during the Anti-Yuan War, but only a dozen pieces were found at the edge of the city, which is also doubtful. There are more than 647,500 words in the text of Thirteen Classics, with more annotations than the original. There must be nearly ten thousand stone tablets broken into cannon stone, more than ten stones. Therefore, the cause of its destruction remains to be explored.
The rubbings of The Book of Songs in the Ming Dynasty are extremely precious. During the reign of Qianlong and Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, it was recorded and treasured by people. Scholars praised him as "thorough and sincere";
"Strict and steep". Shu stone classics are published and engraved, each with its own serial number and distinct lines. Notes are published in double-line small print under each sentence, which is convenient for reading and using. Most of the articles written by people in the Southern Song Dynasty are based on the Book of Songs, which is quoted by Zhu, a famous philosopher in the Southern Song Dynasty. It can be called a fine example of Ishii technical secondary school. His calligraphy and seal cutting were both famous artists at that time, and they were also treasures of the art garden.
