When it comes to Liulichang, it has a long history. It is as old as Baoguo temple, far from Panjiayuan.

Located outside Heping gate, Liulichang is a famous cultural street with a total length of about 800 meters, reaching Nanbei Liuxiang in the West and Yanshou street in the East.

In the history of Liao Dynasty, it did not belong to the city, but was located in the suburb. At that time, it was called Haiwang village. Later, in Yuan Dynasty, official kilns were set up here to make glazed tiles. Since the Ming Dynasty, when the inner city was built, because of the construction of palaces, the scale of official kilns was expanded and became one of the five factories of the Ministry of industry.

In the 32nd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, after the construction of the outer city, it became an urban area. Because it was not suitable to burn kilns in the city, the official kilns were moved away. However, the name of Liulichang was preserved and has been handed down to the present day.

During the Shunzhi period of the early Qing Dynasty, the city of Kyoto was divided into Manchu and Han. The Liulichang was just in the west of the outer city. Most Han officials lived nearby. Guildhalls all over the country were built near the market. Officials who went to Beijing and candidates who rushed to take the exam often gathered here, so they called it "book fair". The formation of the

book market shifted the front door, the lamp market and the Town God's Temple book market in the western city to the Ming Dynasty, where booksellers set up stalls, built rooms, sold a large collection of books, flourishing markets and convenient conditions, forming the "Kyoto Ya tour place".

Liulichang has gradually developed into the largest book market and cultural market in Kyoto, along with the development of culture related pen, ink, paper and inkstone, antiques, calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, there are many famous old shops in Liulichang, such as Huaiyin Shanfang and ruguzhai. Among them, the most famous one is derongbaozhai. Some people say that Liulichang is famous for its famous cultural old shops such as rongbaozhai.

This statement has its own reason.

About Liulichang, Lin Xi once heard Shu Lao mention that when he was young, he heard a little story.

It is said that the earliest ghost market was opened at the time of the alternation of yin and Yang, which attracted many ghosts from the underworld. The front feet floated by to buy things, and the back feet lay back in the coffin. At that time, under the Empress Dowager Cixi, there was a little eunuch who loved to visit the ghost market. At that time, there was no Panjiayuan, and Baoguo temple was protected by Buddhism. Therefore, all the ghost markets in Kyoto were concentrated in Liulichang.

In the ghost market, the little eunuch bought a white fox, which was locked in a cage and was ready to fight. The fox was a fox fairy. In order to repay his kindness, he became the wife of the little eunuch, and even used his magic to make the little eunuch a man. When empress dowager Cixi died and the National Games of the Qing Dynasty ended, he sneaked out of Kyoto with the fox fairy and lived for 1808 years.

Later, pan Jiayuan rose and the allusion disappeared.

Because of this allusion, people flocked to Liulichang at that time, which attracted many young and old players. In the morning, they just wanted to find another fox in the ghost market, so that they could enjoy the happiness of all.

It was not until later, because of the chaos of war, that people gradually declined.

No matter whether the story is true or not, there is one that can be confirmed. No matter when it comes, Liulichang is very busy.

Lin Xi finds a place to park his car. He comes in with Tong Yan and Zhou Zhe. Standing in the glass factory, Lin Xi sees a crowd of people. From the street to the end of the street, it's all people. It's hard to avoid some shock in his heart.

It is reasonable to say that Lin Xi has been to many places and entered many antique cities, but he has never seen such a large number of people, even more than those who go to temples to burn incense every Spring Festival.

Among these people, there are a lot of foreigners who speak Chinese and forget to return. The vendors on both sides of the street shout their own slogans to solicit business for themselves. The noise makes people dizzy.

"Lin Xi, I have told you that it's chaotic. Now you believe it ····"

Tong Yan, standing beside Lin Xi, is obviously not very satisfied with the chaotic environment in front of her. Although she is lively and likes to be lively, because of her family education, she has an instinctive rejection of the chaos in front of her.

Lin Xi didn't seem to hear it. He just looked at the stalls. They were not really so old-fashioned. They only had rare books of calligraphy and painting. On the contrary, they had everything. There were four treasures of the study, jade, ceramics and wood, and even a lot of bronzes, but most of them were ancient books of calligraphy and painting.

Only when Lin Xi was standing at the booth on his left, there were three groups of people who picked up the book whose cover was yellow. They didn't know whether it was true or not, or when it was a dream of Red Mansions.

Speaking of the dream of Red Mansions, Lin Xi remembers that it is recorded as follows: Taoist Kongkong thought for a while and reviewed the story of the stone again. Seeing that the gist of the story is not only talking about love, but also recording the story. He never suffered from obscenity when he was injured, so he copied it from beginning to end and heard the legend. Since then, Taoist Kongkong has changed his name to love monk, and changed the story of stone to the record of love monk. Kongmeixi in Donglu was entitled "treasure of wind and moon". Later, because of Cao Xueqin's mourning for Hongxuan, he read ten years, added and deleted five times, compiled a catalogue, divided into chapters, and then titled twelve hairpins in Jinling.

I believe all of us are familiar with this record. Its literary value is Cao Xueqin's lifetime work. Unfortunately, the second half of the original work has long been lost.Why do you say that?

There are 120 chapters in a dream of Red Mansions, and the last 40 chapters are written by Gao E. however, some people say that Cao Xueqin has finished the last 40 chapters, but it has not been published and spread to the people. It is mixed in today's dream of Red Mansions, and I don't know whether it is true or false.

Whether it's true or not, because of this legend, the ancient books of a dream of Red Mansions are becoming more and more valuable, and it's hard to hide its collection value. Even some people hope that the last 40 chapters written by Cao Xueqin can be found out from the mass of ancient books, and its value will be immeasurable.

Legend is a legend after all. Who knows whether it is true or not? It is no doubt a fool's behavior to exhaust one's whole life with a legend.

I think the three groups of people just now should know this legend, so they pay special attention to it. It's just that the things in the legend are so easily encountered by them, I'm afraid they can't be called a legend.

However, at this time, Tong Yan frowned and complained discontentedly: "it's just some broken books, but also some rare ancient books. I really don't know what's good ····"

no wonder Tong Yan is so discontented. In fact, many people feel vague about the definition of rare ancient books, and don't know why they are valuable, or even priceless.

Hearing this, Lin Xi knew that she had lost her temper and quickly withdrew her eyes and explained to her, "Zhang Zhidong, a bibliographer of Qing Dynasty editions, once made a clear classification of rare ancient books ·····"

Tong Yan leaned aside to avoid bumping into others, and curiously asked Lin Xi, "classification? How to classify ·· "

after pondering for a moment, Lin Xi explained with a smile:" the first category is called the full version, which has no abridgement or missing volume; the second category is called the refined version, which has few errors; the third category is called the old version, which has been handed down for a long time, namely the woodcut version, the transcribed version and the thread bound book. However, contemporary scholars have different explanations for this. " r>

it seems that she is interested. Tong Yan continues to ask, "why do the same things have different explanations? What's the contemporary interpretation of ··· "

it may have been expected that Lin Xi said slowly:" different times, of course, the interpretation is different! According to the current explanation, first, it is old and cultural relic; second, it is exquisitely printed and artistic; third, it is incisive and informative. The so-called rare book originally refers to the earliest version, or the most perfect version ········ "

after a pause, Lin Xi continued:" among them, the original engraving, due to its fine carving, has a good use of paper and ink The first is that the original copy has been lost, and the second is that it has been copied by a famous book engraving organization, which is exquisite and of high artistic value. Finally, the so-called shadow copy is the original copy of a famous hand After listening to Lin Xi's explanation, Tong Yan seems to have some insight into it, holding her chin and Thinking: "but how do you know which books are worth collecting What's not worth it "
