How much is left of the Yongle Ceremony now?

The original was lost in the war, and there are only about 400 copies left.

It is divided into three parts: a part of the Qing Dynasty "disappeared" the part that was unfavorable to the rule; More than 800 volumes in the second part in China; The rest was looted or burned by the British and French forces who burned the Old Summer Palace... The part that disappeared is unknown whether it was circulated in China or robbed!!

Later, when the Qing Dynasty signed a treaty with the invaders, the invaders asked the Qing ** to send someone to explain the classics. . . Got it?

Summary. Hello, it's gone, the Yongle Grand Ceremony is no longer there. The Yongle Canon was not printed at that time, all of them were manuscripts, and there were only two sets.

One set is the original book after binding, we call it "Yongle original", and the other set is a copy of the original copy in the Jiajing period, imitating the original and copying it again, the size and style are exactly the same as the original, we call it "Jiajing copy". However, it is a pity that due to historical and war reasons, the "Yongle original" can no longer be found at all. Hint:

Although there is still the so-called Yongle Canon, it is not the original, nor is it the whole content.

However, it is a pity that due to historical and war reasons, the "Yongle original" can no longer be found at all. Note: Although there is still the so-called Yongle Canon, it is not the original, nor the entire content.

The Yongle Canon was written in the fifth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, compiled by Xie Jin, Yao Guangxiao, the first assistant of the cabinet at that time, convened more than 2,000 literati in the world, and took three years to complete, bringing together the essence of China's history and culture for more than 5,000 years before the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, involving culture, history, religion, philosophy, medicine, astronomy, mythology and so on. This set of books, with a total of 22,937 volumes, 11,095 volumes, and 370 million words, collects more than 8,000 kinds of ancient books, piled up as high as a hill, and is recognized as the largest encyclopedia in human history, more than 300 years before the British encyclopedia was written.

Because the number of words was too many hundreds of millions of words, there was no technology for mass distribution at that time.

Yongle Dictionary is a collection of ancient Chinese classics compiled by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. The original name was "Literature Dacheng", and later Ming Chengzu personally wrote the preface and gave it the name "Yongle Canon". The book has 22,877 volumes (60 volumes of catalog, a total of 22,937 volumes), 11,095 volumes, about 100 million words, and brings together seven or eight thousand ancient and modern books.

In the first year of Yongle (1403 AD), Zhu Di was determined to build a masterpiece to demonstrate the prestige of the country and benefit all generations. The purpose is "to compile the books of a hundred schools of thought since the book deed, as for astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medical divination, monks, and skills, it will be compiled into one book".

Initially, Xie Jin presided over the compilation (scale of 147 people), and a year later completed the "Literature Dacheng", but Zhu Di was very dissatisfied after reading it, and appointed Yao Guangxiao as the supervisor, and the compilation team expanded to 2196 people (a total of more than 3000 people), and finalized it in the fifth year of Yongle (1407 AD), and Zhu Di personally made the preface and gave the name "Yongle Canon". The whole book was copied in the sixth year of Yongle (1408 AD).

Historical value: Yongle Canon "Song and Yuan Dynasty historical materials are extremely rich, Qing Dynasty Qianlong year judgment to open the Siku Quanshuguan, Anhui Xuezheng Zhu Yun asked "school "Yongle Canon, choose one of the uncommon books, compile the knowledge of it", approved by the Qianlong Emperor, and set up a special "proofreading of the Yongle Canon" prose book office", at the beginning of the staff of 30 people, and then increased 9 people, famous scholars Dai Zhen, Shao Jinhan, Zhou Yongnian and so on participated in this work.

By the forty-sixth year of Qianlong (1781), a total of 66 kinds of books were published: 66 kinds of classics, 41 kinds of history, 103 kinds of sub-departments, and 175 kinds of collections, totaling 385 kinds and 4946 volumes. From 4620 to 14629, there is a book entitled "The Law of Digging Celery in the Ministry of Officials", which is a compilation of archives about the official narrative and performance appraisal system of the Song Dynasty, which was recorded in the first dynasty of Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty, which can fill the gap in the section of the "Song Hui Yao" that was repaired to the Ningzong Dynasty.

According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", the territory of the Ming Dynasty at that time was as high as more than 13 million square kilometers. Korea, Laos, and Vietnam, which were small countries, were all under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty during the Yongle period. Not only that, because Zheng He went to the West seven times, the Ming Dynasty had its own colonies in the Indian Ocean at that time.

During the Yongle period, the territory of the country stretched from Korea in the east, Tibet in the west, Annan in the south, and Daqi in the north. During the Yongle period, Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, moved Kyoto from Nanjing to Beijing, forming a situation with Beijing as the political center.

At that time, Zhu Di took his second prince and third prince on an expedition to Wara, fought for the peace of the Central Plains until the last moment, maintaining the relative advantage of the Ming army in the north of the national defense, and there was the crown prince in charge of internal affairs in the country.

The Ming Dynasty in the Yongle period can be described as a vast territory with great rivers and mountains. Compared with the more than 12 million square kilometers at the height of the Tang Dynasty and the 10.4 million square kilometers at the height of the Han Dynasty, the territory of the Yongle period is obviously not lagging behind.
