    "The Rhyme of the Ministry of Rites" compiled by Ding Du and others in the fourth year of Jingyou's reign (1037) in the Northern Song Dynasty has always been the most authoritative official rhyme for poetry and Fu examinations.  As the golden rule for imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty, it was widely published and widely circulated. It was highly respected by scholars and had a supreme status. Its influence far exceeded the scope of the imperial examination and had extremely high cultural value.

    "Yun Lue of the Ministry of Rites", as the authoritative rhyme book, was regarded as a guide by later generations. It profoundly influenced the compilation of the rhyme books "Ancient and Modern Rhyme Meetings", "Hongwu Zhengyun" and the calligraphy book "Kangxi Dictionary". Its practical compilation characteristics have enriched the Chinese language.  The model of dictionary compilation has a wide and far-reaching cultural influence.

    "The Rhyme of the Ministry of Rites" can be described as the "Xinhua Dictionary" for candidates taking exams in the Song Dynasty. Candidates can bring this book into the examination room. If they encounter questions about phonology and taboo words, they can read the book through "The Rhyme of the Ministry of Rites" in the preface with pinyin.  》Looking for writing methods that could be used at the time.

    Meng Zitao accidentally discovered this set of "The Rhymes of the Ministry of Rites", which was printed on thick vellum paper. The outer bark of the unmashed yellow mulberry or Pu tree is faintly visible. The horizontal ribs are wide and thick; the font is simple, the knife technique is clumsy, and the ink is black.  It is not Ying; there are ten lines in each half leaf, the number of words in the lines varies, and the left and right sides are double; the opening is narrow and has no fixed format. It is similar to some previously discovered Liao engraved books, but is very different from the Southern Song Dynasty engraved books.  But there is no book seal.

    The printing paper for "The Rhymes of the Ministry of Rites" is obviously leather paper, but the texture is relatively rough, the horizontal ribs are wide and thick, and the yellow mulberry or mulberry bark that was not crushed during the pulping process mostly remains on the paper surface.  In the Song Dynasty, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, most of the paper used for engraving books was leather paper, but most of the fibers were crushed into pieces, and there were very few unbeaten outer coverings left on the paper.  Judging from the printing paper, this book may have been published earlier.

    In addition, the font of "Yunlue of the Ministry of Rites" is simple, and the carving technique is clumsy. It is not as elegant as the engravings of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the font is as skillful as the knife technique.  The ink color is also not as clear and pure as the Southern Song Dynasty engravings, which shows the simple style of early engravings.

    However, this set of "The Rhymes of the Ministry of Rites" is not an official engraving of the Northern Song Dynasty, otherwise Meng Zitao would have been much more excited than he is now.

    Even so, after careful observation, Meng Zitao was still certain that it should be a blockbuster of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that this discovery has caused a sensation in the academic world.

    We must know that "The Rhymes of the Ministry of Rites" has been in use for less than thirty years since it was written, and has been discontinued several times during this period. Up to now, there are only a few engravings of the Northern Song Dynasty existing at home and abroad, and most of them are collected in museums in various countries.  According to statistics, there are currently less than 16 versions of the "Yunlue of the Ministry of Rites" in existence, and the strict Northern Song Dynasty version is less than 12.

    Moreover, a large number of books engraved by the Northern Song Dynasty were almost completely destroyed in the late Northern Song Dynasty. After entering the Southern Song Dynasty, some basic reference books for the imperial examinations were directly published in the Northern Song Dynasty. Therefore, whether they were official or official inscriptions, they were important.  the value of.  The popularization of Fangkengben culture and the circulation of books have even more unique value.

    Therefore, even if it is a block-blocked version, similar to the extremely high-quality version found by Meng Zitao, it is extremely precious. What's more, this is a block-blocked edition from the early Northern Song Dynasty, and it is likely to be the earliest block-blocked edition discovered now. This is  Even more precious.

    Fortunately, Pang Panghai had something to do and went out for a while, so he didn't see Meng Zitao standing in one place for so long.

    Meng Zitao adjusted his mood and thought about how to buy this set of books safely. At this moment, Chen Zhongfeng called and heard that Meng Zitao was still in Yingdu and asked him if he had time to attend a small exchange meeting.  .

    He Wanyi had no objection to this, so Meng Zitao agreed, which just gave him an excuse.

    After hanging up the phone, Meng Zitao found a few more decent ancient books and went to Pang Panghai to ask him for the price.

    Pang Panghai had no interest in ancient books, nor did he do any research on ancient books, nor did he think there would be any treasures in them. He just browsed through them casually and asked Meng Zitao for two thousand yuan.

    There was no reason why Meng Zitao could not agree. After paying the money, he said goodbye.

    Pang Panghai suggested: "It's still early, how about some tea?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "I have contacted my friend and he will pick us up in a moment."

    Pang Panghai felt a little pity: "Well, if you have time in the future, you can come and sit at my place."

    "Definitely" Meng Zitao chuckled and thought to himself: "If you always have treasures like "The Rhymes of the Ministry of Rites", I would love to come and sit here every day."

    However, Meng Zitao could also see that Pang Panghai really wanted to get acquainted with him. Although this was definitely because of his status, he still felt a little bit guilty for taking advantage of Pang Panghai.

    Of course, in order to avoidThe tail, from the upper fish tail to the upper sidebar, or elephant trunk, is often used to engrave the large and small characters of the edition. The lower fish tail to the lower sidebar is often used to engrave the name of the engraver.  "

    "The opening of this book is extremely narrow and irregular. Some have no markings at all above the opening. Only an ink nail is left above the opening, with the white characters '平声上' or '平上' engraved on it.  ' words; some have no ink nails and black covers, and the words 'pingshang' or 'pingshang' are engraved directly on the corresponding places; some have an ink line engraved above 'pingsheng' or 'pingshang', until shang  Some of the side rails are not engraved; some are engraved with unshaped ink-colored fish tails above 'pingshang' or 'pingshang', and some are not engraved."

    "Below the edge of the book, some are engraved with white characters with negative patterns on the black cover of ink, marking the leaf code. Some are black cover without ink nails, and the leaf code is engraved directly at the corresponding place; some are above the sound mark, until the top  There is an ink line engraved in the center of the sidebar, under the leaf code below, until there is an ink line engraved in the center of the lower sidebar, and some are not engraved."

    "These all show great arbitrariness and uncertainty. They reflect the immaturity and amorphousness of the early days of engraving and printing, which means that this book may have been published earlier. It just so happens that my master has a book from the Northern Song Dynasty.  The engraving matches this characteristic, so I think it is probably an early Northern Song Dynasty engraving. In addition, in addition, there are other characteristics"

    Meng Zitao talked eloquently, describing his characteristics one by one, and the people who gradually gathered around him nodded.

    "So, this is the earliest printed copy of "The Rhymes of the Ministry of Rites" so far?" Someone next to him said with an exclamation tone.

    Meng Zitao nodded and said: "I think the possibility is extremely high."

    Meng Zitao's answer caused an uproar among the people around him. At this time, a voice suddenly came in: "Little brother, do you want to sell this ancient book?"

    Meng Zitao followed the voice and saw that the person speaking was a middle-aged man with a nouveau riche temperament. Someone next to him introduced him as Chen Faxin. He was a big boss who came here because of his fame. He had already spent millions to buy several antiques.  .

    Zheng Zongxian next to him was a little confused because he had never seen this so-called big boss in Yingdu before, so he whispered a few words to Meng Zitao.

    "Little brother, how much is the price? Tell me the number. I brought a cash check of 10 million this time." Chen Faxin is full of nouveau riche temperament.

    "Haha, you want to buy this engraving of "The Rhymes of the Ministry of Rites" for tens of millions of dollars, you are just wishful thinking!" Someone next to you suddenly burst out laughing.

    Others also laughed. Based on the current market conditions, this engraving of "The Rhymes of the Ministry of Rites" is worth at least 30 million. This is still a conservative estimate.

    Now that he knew the value, Chen Faxin said: "Since this book is worth 30 million, then I will write a check for 30 million!"

    He waved his hand and started writing the check.

    Meng Zitao immediately said calmly: "Boss Chen, you just said you brought 10 million!"

    Chen Faxin raised his head, his eyes slightly panicked, and said: "This brother is joking, I just said that, how can I only have a net worth of 10 million? Don't worry, with my net worth, 30 million is still  It can be easily taken out!"

    "Oh, really?" Meng Zitao still looked a little worried.

    Chen Faxin raised the check in his hand: "Brother, if you don't trust me, how can you still worry about the check in my hand? I'm a serious businessman!"

    "In this case, let me call the bank and check the account!"

    Meng Zitao looked at the check in Chen Fa's hand and chuckled. Zheng Zongxian was so familiar with the antique market in Yingdu that he didn't even know this person. It was as if he appeared out of thin air. Moreover, this guy kept writing checks, which made him couldn't help but think about it.  .

    Chen Faxin was a little anxious, "Brother, how can you not trust me? You don't want to sell this thing, right?"

    At this time, someone below said loudly: "Boss Chen, this is a transaction of tens of millions, it is necessary to verify the authenticity!"

    "That's right, if you write a check like this, who knows if it's true or false!"

    Chen Faxin became anxious, pointed at the man and yelled angrily: "Are you so unwilling to meet newcomers? I have an identity after all. Now that my account is being checked, I won't often use it to make people laugh in the future." (Recorder  Please visit our website: www.hlnovel.com
