Recently, Mr. Toshio Takada, a Japanese scholar, published an article entitled "The Newly Discovered Kingdom Wei zhi Luo Zhenyu Letter", which disclosed the three links of the Kingdom Wei Zhi Luo Zhenyu Codex in the Ishihama Bunko library of the University of Foreign Chinese Affairs in Osaka, Japan. According to Mr. Takada, these three-way codex were the old collection of Juntaro Ishihama, which was given to him by Luo Jizu, the eldest grandson of Luo Zhenyu, before is the death of the Ishihama clan. The contents of the Codex are relatively rich, and it is undoubtedly an important material for studying the life and scholarship of Wang Guowei and Luo Zhenyu. In the article, Mr. Takada published the plates of the Codex, accompanied by a transcription and a brief annotation of the persons involved in the letter. As for when they were written and what special value they have, Mr. Takada did not give a clearer hint. Without being superficial, I would like to examine the time at which these three-way codex was written, and to give a slight hint of its value.
Hereinafter referred to as the quotation of these three books, the order is in the original order of Mr. Takada's masterpiece. Since the latter two signs have a clear sun and moon, the difficulty of examination is relatively small, so it is the first to go. Finally, the time of writing of the first (1) Zha will be examined.
Kingdom Wei zhi Luo Zhenyu Di (I) Za
Kingdom Wei zhi Luo Zhenyu Di (II) Za
Kingdom Wei zhi Luo Zhenyu Di (III) Za
The remark in the second (2) Zhazhong that "the election of yesterday was reported, and the East China Sea has been elected" refers to Xu Shichang's election as the second president of the Republic of China. Xu was elected on September 4, 1977 of the Republic of China (Li Xin and Li Zongyi, editors of the History of the Republic of China, Vol. II, The Reign of the Beiyang Government, p. 277, Zhonghua Bookstore, 1987), the lunar calendar is the twenty-ninth day of the seventh month of the fifth month, and the july of that year is small, and the second day is the time signed by Wang's letter- August Shuo Day, so the letter is called "Yesterday's Election", which is consistent with historical facts. Then this (2) Zha must be written on the first day of August in 1918.
The (3) signed the "November Lookout Day", which stated that "the day before the night before the night to send the history of the occult religion, the joy is as good as ever". Examination of the "Letters of Luo Zhenyu Kingdom Wei Hui" (hereinafter referred to as the "Letters of Luo Wang", Wang Qingxiang, Xiao Wenli Annotated, Luo Jizu reviewed, Oriental Publishing House, 2000, p. 425) No. 547 Luo's letter to Wang's epigraph said: "A copy of the "Tantric Development History" has been sent to Ji Ying, and this book is a gift to the elderly yi, and it is handed over to the prayer. What Wang Han calls "the history of tantra" here is what Piroxin calls the Tantric Development Chronicle. The title of the book, actually known as the "Chronicle of the Development of Esoteric Religion", is written by Nichiren Daimura Xiya and written by Luo Zhenyu. In this appendix, Roche also said that "in the book of honor, if there is a "Quicksand Falling Jane", the prayer is related to the phrase "The Quicksand Falling Jane" at the end of Wang's letter, which is related to the phrase "The Quicksand Falling Jane of The Mirror of Jing Shu's Yi Mirror, weijun is also absent". Letter No. 547 of the Epistle of King Luo is signed "Morning of the Twenty-fourth Day of October", and the annotator will follow the letter to the age of peng wu (1918).
Again, the letter said, "Thank you for the spear and sword." Gai is Wang Guowei's request to Luo Zhenyu for the Xiangbang Spear Takumoto, which Luo Shi sent to him, and at the same time he gave an ancient sword Takumoto. This is also reflected in the Epistles of King Luo. No. 549 Wang Zhi Luo: "Gongxin Got the Xiangbang Spear, Takuben Prays for a Piece of Paper", No. 553 Luo Zhiwang: "Accept the Xiangbang Spear Ink Book, and the Sword Takuichi, I respectfully send it and pray for inspection." "No. 549 Wang Yuan's Signature "Twenty-six Days", the proofreader is the fifth noon of October. No. 553 was originally unsigned, and the annotator was on the thirteenth day of November (Yuan Case: when there is no problem with the year and month, the date is not, let me explain).
Furthermore, the letter refers to Shen Zengzhi and the Manuscript of Zhu Xi's Analects in the Collection of the Commercial Press. Letters of King Luo, No. 559, Luo Zhiwang: "Zhu Wengong's Commentary on the Analects (i.e., the Forty-Odd Walkers) of zhu Wengong, who has been purchased by his brother Toding Fu, is fortunate not to be in harmony with others. Apparently a reply to this letter. No. 559 is signed "Twenty-Seventh", and the annotator is the twenty-seventh day of the eleventh month of the fifth month.
In summary, the "November Lookout Day" signed by the Kingdom Wei Zhi Luo Zhenyu Di (3) Must be the November Looking Day of the Fifth Noon.
The first (1) is only signed with the "sixth day of the first year", and there is no year and month, which is the most difficult to determine. The letter states that "The Poetry of Bang Tomioka is taught", and Mr. Takada points out that the "Tomioka" here refers to Tomioka Kenzo, who died on December 23, 1918, and the lunar calendar is the 21st day of the eleventh month of the fifth month. However, the "sixth day of the first month" of this letter is also the sixth day of the first month of December.
Again, the letter said: "The price of gold is still not long, I don't know what next year will be." Next year, I am afraid that I still need to use three hundred yuan in Chinese dollars, and I do not know whether the price of Japanese dollars can increase in time, and I am afraid that I will need more than five hundred yuan to convert into Japanese dollars. Kao Luo Wang's Letter no. 566 "The japanese currency required should be 500 yen when carrying Shanghai is not wrong" Cover is the answer to this matter. No. 566 is also known as "The Great Chapter of Worship, for which I feel the feeling of loneliness" (睽孤) was originally interpreted as "Fear and Shame", according to the "Collection of Letters of the National Library of the Tibetan Kingdom Wei Xiang Hui", the Zhonghua Bookstore's 2017 edition of the collection of Pictures of Luo Zhenyu's Codex, Luo Shi's letter see page 1213 of the third volume of the book), the so-called "Great Chapter" covers the "Bang Fu Gang Yi Poem" called "Bang Fu Gang Yi Poem" in the "Guan Tang Jilin" volume 24 (Guan Tang Ji Lin) volume 24, pp. 12b-13a , Shanghai Ancient Books Bookstore, 1983 photocopy of "The Testament of Mr. Wang Jing'an of Haining"). However, No. 556 Luo Zhi Wang Dang is a cover of this Wang Shi Di (I) Zha. No. 556 was originally signed "Eighteenth Day", and the annotator was the eighteenth day of December.
However, there is no doubt that the "sixth day of the first month" signed by Wang in this letter must be the sixth day of the first month of December, and the heyang calendar is already January 7, 1919.
Of course, the historical value of these three correspondence letters is very high, and the most direct of them is that they can be used to compare the correspondence between other Luo and Wang. Here are two things.
The second (2) is "Last night the book came to this point, and today I receive the twenty-third and twenty-five books, and I know everything", and the letter received from Roche on the twenty-third day is the Letter of the King of Luo, No. 526. In the letter, Luo Shi said: "Please be assured that in the day, I will be hospitalized as Ah Chang for treatment, my mood will be slightly clear, and my illness will be reduced day by day. This Wang Clan No. 2 (2) Zha replied: "After Junchu was admitted to the hospital, he gradually became quicker and more relieved. Luo Xin said, "Is Shaoquan already healed?" The king replied, "Resisting the father is still good." ("Shaoquan" and "Kang father" both refer to Luo and Wang's friend Fan Bingqing.) One by one, if it is in accordance with the contract. No. 526 was originally signed "Twenty-Three Nights", and the Epistles of king Luo was the fifth month of July, when there was no problem. However, which letter did Wang receive on the same day from Luo Zhenyu's "Twenty-Fifth (Day)"? The Epistle of King Luo is actually No. 516. In this Wang clan (2) Zha zhong, "Ding Fu's place has been told that public funds have been paid to Wei Jun, and he wants to take it." The "Narrative of Xuetang" has also been written to Wei Gong the day before yesterday, according to the public's belongings, "the words are nailed", which is actually a reply to Luo Zhi Wang No. 516" "Ding Jun's seal of the book has been remitted to Wei Jun more than a hundred times" and "The upper volume of the humble book was printed, and the second part was sent to be drafted first". No. 516 is signed on "Twenty-five Days". However, in addition to no. 526, the second letter received by Wang Guowei on the first day of the eighth month of the fifth month must be No. 516. And the "Epistles of King Luo" will be no. 516 of the Peng Wu June, which is obviously not correct, when the line is changed to the Peng Wu July.
Furthermore, in the Epistles of King Luo, No. 553, luo zhiwang was not signed, and the proofreaders did not know what the basis was, and set it on the thirteenth day of November. Press: According to the above examination, those who know that wang clan (3) Zha Nai replied to No. 553 here, and Wang shi said at the beginning of the letter that "today's takeover book" Yunyun, and the cover received is No. 553. If No. 553 was written on the thirteenth day of november, and the third (third) of the Wang clan was written under the lamp of the sun in November, the two were only three days apart, and it seemed absolutely impossible to say that the postal records of Shanghai, China and Kyoto, Japan at that time. The author has studied the letters of Luo and Wang for many years, and I know that it will take at least five days to send letters from Kyoto to Shanghai. However, No. 553 is no later than november 10. Kauroshi sent a letter to the king on November 5 of that year (i.e., Letter no. 551 of the Letter of king Luo) saying: "The seventh day of my brother's arrival in Seongzaki ... About another week, it will return to the East Hill Residence. "And when Luo wrote No. 553, he had returned from Seosaki to Kyoto, and it was not too close to november 5, and the 10th day of November was the fifth day of the fifth month of the Gu dynasty.
Xiao Wenli's "Commentary on the Book of Yongfeng Township People" has revised the lineage of the "Letters of King Luo", which is no different from The 516th of the Shangsuo Examination, and changed it to the eighth day of the first month of November at No. 553, according to which (Xiao Wenli's "Yongfeng Xiangren Shuzha Interpretation" pp. 322b-323a, 249a-250a, Xiling Printing Society's 2005 "Luo Xuetang Collection").
With regard to the three links of the Kingdom of the Ishihama Bunko disclosed by Mr. Takada Toshio, the Three Links to luo Zhenyu Codex, to those who have been examined, as above, wherever there is no truth, I hope to teach me the same Taoism.
