The name of this book is Water Mirror Bamboo Book. Notes on Water Classics is an annotated book written by Li Daoyuan for Water Classics. Author Yang Shoujing, whose real name is Xing Wu, is from Lucheng, Yidu, Hubei. He was a famous historical geographer, stele engraver, catalogue writer, calligrapher and bibliophile in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Notes on Water Mirror is the painstaking work of Yang Shoujing and his teacher Xiong for decades. Notes on Water Classics is an annotated book written by Li Daoyuan for Water Classics. There are more than 10,000 words in the book Water Mirror, and 40 volumes of Notes on Water Mirror are more than 20 times more than water mirrors, so they are called annotated water mirrors. In fact, this is a masterpiece with water mirror as the main line. Li Daoyuan corrected many mistakes of water mirror in his notes, and pointed out the mistakes and fallacies in quotations. Due to the political situation of the split between North and South at that time, Li Daoyuan's footprint failed to reach the south, so there were many mistakes in the notes related to this part. When Li Shu reached the early Song Dynasty, five volumes were lost. Later, someone analyzed the remaining 35 volumes into 40 volumes, copied them repeatedly, and the water mirror notes lost their authenticity. Some chapters are so serious that they are almost difficult to read and are deeply influenced by scholars. Scholars in Ming and Qing Dynasties attached great importance to Zhu's collation. In the Ming Dynasty, the Notes on Water Classics were written, while in the early Qing Dynasty, Gu, Gu Zuyu, Yan Ruoqu and Hu Wei managed the Notes on Water Classics. On this basis, during the Qianlong period, Quan, Zhao Yiqing and Dai Zhen wrote books one after another. During Guangxu period, three school languages, Quan, Zhao and Dai, were compiled, and with reference to other research results, the Notes on Water Classics of Joint Schools was written. They not only distinguished the confused classics from the annotations, but also made up the lost five volumes of Notes on Water Classics, corrected many mistakes in Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics, and made them gradually close to the original appearance. However, there are still many problems in these families. Yang Shoujing and his master, Xiong, devoted themselves to compiling Notes on Water Classics, the style and procedures of which were drawn up by Yang Shoujing. Yang Shoujing was sixty-six years old when he first published Notes on the Water Mirror. He was worried that once he died, the manuscript would not be handed down to future generations. "Because the picture was carved first, that is, the most relevant person in the sparse room was stabbed as a comment on the water mirror before being deleted." (Preface to Annotate and Annotate the Water Mirror) There are many fallacies due to the hasty publication of Annotate and Annotate the Water Mirror. On the other hand, after the publication of Annotate and Annotate the Water Mirror, Yang Shoujing continued to polish the first draft of Annotate and Annotate the Water Mirror, so there are supplements, supplements and sequels to Annotate and Annotate the Water Mirror. Since then, Xiong has inherited the teacher's records and continued to compile them. By the time Xiong 1936 died, Notes on Water Mirror had been finalized, but not yet published. Before he died, Xiong asked his fellow villagers to arrange and publish this book. 1948, Li Zikai published the first volume of Water Mirror Notes with the donation from all walks of life in Yidu. 1955 "Water Mirror Notes" was photocopied and published by China Science Press. By 1957, the whole book has been published in 40 volumes, ***2 1 volume, with a manuscript attached (incomplete volume). The manuscript was purchased by the Library of China Academy of Sciences from Wuhan bibliophile Xu Xingke at 1954. 197 1 year, Zhonghua Book Company used another manuscript of Notes collected by the former Central Library to photocopy 40 volumes of Yang's Notes. Water Mirror Annotation draws lessons from the research results of previous dynasties, and takes Zhu Mouwei's Water Mirror Annotation as the main text, with detailed textual research and conclusive evidence. For example, Notes on the Water Classics: Five Rivers: "Zhong Ni said," I should call the monarch with my officials, but not give him instructions. So the Book says that "The King of Heaven was founded in Heyang", and Heyang is not his birthplace. Yang Shoujing's Shu pointed out that Zuo Zhuan was the cause of the incident, and said that the last sentence of Zuo Zhuan was "out of place". At the same time, he also quoted Du Yu's words: "Heyang belongs to Jin, not the king's hunting place." Then, in Notes, moire said, "Filial piety, Jia Kui said: Yang He, Ye Wen. Shu pointed out: Historical Records, Zhou Benji and Ji Jie quoted Jia Kui as saying: "It was sunny in the river and warm in the Jin Dynasty. "The Legend of Gu Liang says,' It's warm and sunny on the river.' So both Fu and Jia said so. "With Yang Shoujing's Shu and Notes, readers can have a thorough understanding. The Notes on Water Classics draws lessons from other scholars and corrects many mistakes of predecessors. There are many words such as "failed in the exam", "wrong" and "wrong library" in the sparse text, and the attitude is clear. For example, "Notes on Water Mirror Jiang Shui": "It is wrong to raise your mouth in the north and write the word' ju' in Zhong Yong, but forget the word when you get the sound." Yang Shoujing pointed out: "The rope of peep:' Set four years as the battle,' Left',' Valley' as' residence',' Ram' as' residence' and cover the ancient homonym. Li said' ju' was wrong and failed the exam. "In Notes," all the books cited by Li are published. " (Preface to the Water Mirror) For example, in The Water Mirror Notes Jiang Shuier: "The Three Gorges in 700 Li, the two sides of the Yangtze River are connected with mountains, without gaps ..." Three Tears of Apes "is a vivid description of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, which has always been recited by scholars in ancient and modern times and is generally believed to be written by Li Daoyuan himself. Shu points out that there are more than 80 words1from "Three Gorges 700 Li" to "Tears on the Skirts", which is quoted from Sheng Hongzhi's Jingzhou Ji, and the quotation can be found in Volume 53 of Taiping Magnolia. After the publication of Yang Shoujing's Notes on Water Classics, it was highly praised by geographers. Wang Bijiang commented that it "chooses a close examination and embraces great wealth." Before repairing, the length of the film must be recorded. If it is not recorded, it must be strictly corrected. As for the due date; If you can't get into the exam, you will study hard. So refined language emerges one after another, and the mind is full of energy. Zhenji has always made great achievements in treating Li's annotation (the overall achievement of the collation of water classics in Ming and Qing Dynasties).
