Chapter 887

During the period when Chu Chen took out the books in the package one by one, Wu Shu and others nearby also carefully identified the books, and basically confirmed that the things were true.

Twenty minutes later, Chu Chen opened all the five oil paper packages. In addition to four volumes of Si Sheng ape and one volume of Nan CI Xu Lu, there were also some letters in the thickest package. According to our identification, these should be the letters between Xu Wei and some friends when they exchanged knowledge.

After reading these manuscripts and letters, Uncle Wu's face was full of admiration and said, "it's very rare and not easy for Xu Wei's manuscripts of Si Sheng ape and Nan CI Xu Lu to be preserved so completely."

Zhao Xueyi sighed: "yes! I think that the reason why these manuscripts and letters are so tightly sealed is probably to prevent them from being destroyed. Maybe the collectors didn't expect that they had been put away for such a long time, which made these manuscripts and letters quite intact until now. "

Hearing this, Fang Jinbo asked: "why is Xu Wei's book destroyed?"

Qi Baofu said: "you should know the literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty, right? Xu Wei's "four sound ape" was banned at that time

"Avoid Xi, fear to hear the word prison, write books for rice Liang Mou."

This is a poem in Gong Zizhen's Ode to history, to the effect that he left the banquet because he was afraid of hearing the news and discussion about the literary inquisition. He wrote books just for the sake of keeping fit.

In the Qing Dynasty, however, it was particularly tragic. In order to stop the transmission of ideas that were not conducive to their rule, the literary inquisition continued in the Kang, Yong and Qian dynasties. A large number of books were banned or destroyed, and the authors were also convicted or even killed.

Under such a high-pressure cultural policy, most intellectuals dare not participate in gatherings and are very cautious in their words and deeds for fear of falling into a rut.

The movement of banning books reached its peak in Qing Dynasty. According to statistics, during the compilation of Sikuquanshu, the book prohibition activities manipulated by Qianlong and carried out with all his strength destroyed about 13600 volumes of books unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty. The total number of books burned reached 150000, and more than 170 kinds and 80000 pieces of plates were destroyed In addition, the rulers also destroyed and edited the Ming Dynasty archives on a large scale.

"But isn't the four sound ape a drama, and it's not a satirical Qing Dynasty, so it's forbidden?" Fang Jinbo didn't understand this.

Qi Baofu said: "because the four sound ape embodies the democratic spirit of opposing feudal oppression and the shackles of ethics at the embryonic stage of capitalist economy in the middle of Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the play also touched some of the dark side of the society at that time, so "four sound ape" was banned by the Qing Dynasty

"How could it be banned?" Fang Jinbo's eyes widened, and he thought it was incredible.

Wu Ke sneered sarcastically and said: "even Yongzheng's work Dayi jueminlu and Shunzhi's works are also banned. What's so strange about the ban of four sound ape?"

"Er..." Even the books of his ancestors have been banned. Fang Jinbo really has nothing to say.

Chu Chen sighed: "it's said that the prohibition of books in the Qing Dynasty is unprecedented, but like the burning and prohibition of books in feudal dynasties, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty still did not and could not completely ban the so-called" disobedient and rebellious "books. Some classic books are still popular among the people by word of mouth or by hand."

"But such a fierce Book ban movement has really greatly damaged the inheritance of our country's ancient books. Among the numerous books banned and destroyed, only a part of them survived. Today, we can only know the name of most books, but the content is completely unknown. I'm sorry to think about it! "

Zhao Xueyi said with a smile: "well, let's look ahead now. Just keep this kind of thing in mind and learn from it."

Everyone nodded to agree. After all, the book has burned and can't recover. What we should do now is to learn from it and let it not happen again in the future.

Then, Zhu Dafu said, "speaking up, Xiaochen, your manuscripts are not only antiques, but also of great significance to the study of literature and drama. They are priceless treasures! Once you get the news of these manuscripts, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people who want to come to see them. I guess you're tired. "

Qi Baofu also said with some worries: "not only that, but also I'm worried that some units want to take them as their own. I think you should be more careful, Mr. Chu."

Zhao Xueyi said with a smile: "there is no need to worry about this. I believe people in China dare to rob things from Xiaochen now."

At the beginning, Qi Baofu felt that Zhao Xueyi had said something that he didn't know about heaven and earth. However, he immediately thought of his cousin Qi Baolin's introduction, which reflected that the teacher Chu, whom he respected very much, had the background of heaven, and was not afraid of other people's ideas.

So, in the end, only Fang Jinbo, who was full of doubts in his heart, was left.

At this time, Zhu Dafu's mobile phone rang. When he received the call, he said to everyone with a smile:

"in the evening, there are several seniors and colleagues who want to get together. Do you want to go or not?"Zhao Xueyi naturally said: "it's rare to have such an opportunity to communicate. Of course, I want to go!"

Other people also nodded, especially when Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo thought they could communicate with so many senior experts, they were so excited that they couldn't find the north.

Zhu Dafu said, "that's OK. We'll go there after dinner."

"Yes Uncle Wu said, "Xiaochen, don't you have another piece of Li Mo to identify? I'll take it with me later, so that I won't take it out tomorrow and let too many people miss it. "

"Li Mo? Is it Li Tingfan's ink in the Southern Tang Dynasty As soon as his voice fell, Qi Baofu exclaimed.

"Isn't it true that the only piece of Li Mo in the world is hidden in the Forbidden City of Baodao?" Fang Jinbo was also stunned.

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "that's because no other Li Mo has found out. Now with Xiaochen, it can only be said to be the only two!"

Chuchen said with a smile: "Uncle Fu, don't say that. After all, my piece hasn't been proved to be genuine."

Zhu Dafu waved his hand with a smile: "both Mr. Liu and us all agree that it is genuine. This time we come to the exchange meeting, it's just a passing show."

"That's it Zhao Xueyi nodded again and again: "this matter, Xiaochen, you just take a hundred heart. I don't believe anyone can find the evidence that it's not Li mo. Speaking of all, I haven't seen enough of your Li Mo yesterday. Xiao Chen, can you show it to me again? "

"Why not..."

With that, Chu Chen went to the safe in the room and was ready to take things. Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo also had to look forward to it.

…………

The place of the party was in a VIP room in the hotel. When Zhu Dafu and Chu Chen walked in, there were several people sitting there drinking tea and chatting.

There are only a few famous experts and collectors in the circle of antiques. Uncle Wu, who have been in the antiques business for more than 20 years, knows all of them. As soon as they go in, everyone greets with each other. Uncle Wu also introduces chuchen to several people in the room.

Chu Chen has good eyesight. Even if he hasn't been on TV, he has become a little famous in the circle. Now he has the performance on TV, and the knowledgeable people in the industry look at him with new eyes. Therefore, when Uncle Wu introduced Chu Chen to the public, they all showed great enthusiasm.

is the more than 60 time old man who has a beard and Hu family. He asked with a trump: "

, Lao Wu, who is this girl?" It looks a little like you! "

Uncle Wu said with a smile: "nonsense, of course it's my daughter!"

Zhao Xueyi said with a smiley face: "in addition, it's Xiaochen's object. They will be married in two months."

Hu said: "Lao Wu, your hands and feet are too fast. You don't even give me a chance!"

A man in his forties beside him said with a smile, "Lao Hu, come on, are you going to introduce your granddaughter who has not graduated from junior high school to Xiao Chu?"

Hu said with a smile, "my granddaughter is 15 years old. She is only seven years younger than Xiao Chu. You don't see it. There was a news the day before yesterday that an old man in his seventies married a woman in his thirties."

The man said with a smile: "you are shameless. Yuanyuan has a grandfather like you. It's really bad for eight generations!"

There was a burst of laughter all around, and Chu Chen, as the party, although he knew that Hu was only joking, he made a big red face.

Next, Uncle Wu gave a brief introduction to Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo. One of them was not good at antiques, and the other was just a newcomer. These people shook hands and passed away. Of course, the two of them had planned to come to see them. They were only excited and didn't care about it at all.

During the period of joking, some elders came in one after another. Yu Jiangwei, Yu Laoyu, and Xu Hengxu are all famous experts in the whole country. Their status is almost the same as that of Qian Lao in the capital.

As soon as they came in, they exchanged greetings with each other. As the youngest expert on the scene, Chu Chen also attended the exchange meeting on behalf of Liu Lao. After a circle, Chu Chen was in a mess.

Most of these elders were not known by Chu Chen, and some of them were known by Chu Chen, such as the old man in law in the capital, an Gongshi in Jinling, and Meng Yixian.

As soon as an Gong Shi came in, he pulled Chu Chen aside and repeatedly expressed his gratitude for Chu Chen's last act of upholding justice. He also said that he had brought a gift to Chu Chen this time and would give it to Chu Chen when the party was over.

An Gong Shi's enthusiasm and resolute, let Chu Chen really shirk, but finally can only agree down.
