How much do you know about Zhu Di s Yongle Canon ?

I only know that this book was compiled by Zhu Di under the orders of civil officials, with the participation of Xie Jin and Yao Guangxiao, and the content in it is as rich as the current encyclopedia.

I don't know much, but I know that it is a big dictionary compiled by Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty during the Yongle period.

I only know a little bit about it, and I know that the "Yongle Grand Ceremony" was finally completed by the black-clothed prime minister.

In order to commemorate his exploits, in order to make future generations remember him, in order to leave a good name for himself. It is indeed to highlight their achievements, and it is also to make people better remember themselves.

It is quite possible that, through such an act, it can beautify its own image and at the same time want to cover up the ugliness of the past.

1. Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di reigned for 22 years.

2, Ming Dynasty became an ancestor.

Zhu Di (May 2, 1360, August 12, 1424), Han Yu Ma Hall clan, is the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, reigned in 1402 and 1424, reigned for 22 years, and the year name Yongle, so later generations called him Yongle Emperor and Yongle Emperor.

Emperor Yongle and so on. On April 17 (May 2), 1360, the twentieth year of Emperor Yuan Shun, Zhu Di was born in Yingtianfu (now Nanjing). Early was named the king of Yan, Hongwu 31 December, in order to guard against Zhu Di's rebellion, Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen Jiyin sent the Ministry of Labor Lang Zhang Yu as the political envoy of Beiping, and commanded Xie Gui and Zhang Xin to be the commander of Beiping.

Subsequently, he ordered the governor Song Zhongtun to garrison Kaiping, and transferred the army under the jurisdiction of King Yan in the Northern Plain. Later, he launched the Battle of Jingyan and raised troops to attack Emperor Jianwen. In 1402, he ascended the throne in Nanjing and changed his name to Yongle.

Zhu Di decided to do a great thing and write a book covering the ancient and modern. Ming Chengzu handed over the matter to the talented sons Xie Jin and Yao Guangxiao, and with the support of Zhu Di, a total of more than 2,000 literati and celebrities were gathered this time, and it took three years to complete the work. Zhu Di was very satisfied with the second submission, and personally wrote the preface, and at the same time named the book "Yongle Canon".

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di ordered people to compile the "Yongle Canon", which is a major event for the benefit of future generations, and this book is of great significance.

This is what he established in the 18 years of the Ming Dynasty, mainly recording some facts, and there are also some truths and quotes of his own.

I know that there are a lot of traditional cultures recorded in it, and it was written down by Zhu Di, and he did not let others write it, which is very connotative.

The compilation of the Yongle Canon began in the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Di had just seized power from Emperor Jianwen, and in order to be able to win the hearts of the people, he ordered someone to compile this book.

It was compiled in the first year of Yongle, and the effect was very good, of course, it was also opposed by a lot.

It started in the first year of Yongle, and it also made many people start to do such a thing.

The Yongle Canon includes as many as seven or eight thousand important ancient classics, from the pre-Qin period to the early Ming Dynasty, which can really be said to be "including the vastness of the universe, and the similarities and differences between the ancient and the modern". Before the Song and Yuan dynasties, there were many secret texts that had to be preserved and circulated. Included content includes:

Classics, history, children, sales finger collections, interpretations, Taoist classics, dramas, plain words, industrial technology, agronomy, medicine, literature, etc., are all inclusive. It is not easy to collect a single word of the books, and they are compiled separately according to the whole book, the whole article, or the whole paragraph of the original work, which further enhances the documentary value of the preserved materials. The style of the whole book is "rhyme to unify words, and words to tie things", which is very convenient to search.

The book has 22,877 volumes, 60 volumes, a total of 11,095 volumes, and 370 million words. After the book was compiled, it was treasured in the Wenyuan Pavilion in Nanjing. After Yongle moved the capital, it moved to Beijing, and was hidden in the Wenlou (i.e., Wenzhao Pavilion) in the Forbidden City.

In August of the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), a copy was written, and since then the "Yongle Grand Canon" has two parts, which are treasured in Wenyuan Pavilion and Huangshi Palace.

The book includes astronomy, geography, human ethics, national unity, morality, political system, famous objects, anecdotes, as well as the sun, moon, stars, rain, wind, clouds, frost, dew, mountains, seas, rivers, etc. The whole book is divided into categories, compiling more than 8,000 kinds of ancient books from the pre-Qin period to the early Ming Dynasty. It preserves a large number of rich and valuable materials in philosophy, history, geography, language, literature, art, religion, science and technology before the Ming Dynasty.
