The "Four Libraries of the Whole Book" is classified according to the "Jingzi Shiji", and what does the "Jingzi Shiji" refer to? He Yan qianlong burned the "anti-book", Ji Xiaolan asked to pick out four parts, and none of them was burned.
In the TV series "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", there is such a bridge section, that is, the Qianlong Emperor wants to burn the "anti-book", Ji Xiaolan asked to keep two, and the Qianlong Emperor agreed, letting him choose it himself. Ji Xiaolan had been rubbing, not picking books from the pile of books, and he yan on the side was anxious, urging Ji Xiaolan to quickly choose. However, Ji Xiaolan wanted to tell Qianlong a story.
Ji Xiaolan told Qianlong the story of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty: "One day, when kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty set the punishment law of the world, when the crime of flogging the staff was determined, he said, Heaven spare him, forgive him, forgive him, and from then on, the Yuan Dynasty government executed, and those who should hit fifty large boards only hit forty-seven boards. My Emperor is wise, Yuan Gai Yuan Shizu, Ji Yun dared to ask the Emperor to follow the example of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, one heaven rao, one earth rao, and one emperor rao. ”
Qianlong: "Just three?" Ji Xiaolan: "Just three!" Qianlong: "I'm right." ”
Then, Ji Xiaolan began to make a bad deal out of Hezhen again, saying, "Lord He, don't you spare one?" He Yan said that he was not qualified, and as a result, Qianlong yi was happy, and he also spared a part. Qianlong limited Ji Xiaolan to completely pick out four books in a bag of cigarettes, and the rest were all burned. Ji Xiaolan immediately said, "The minister has already been selected." ”
Qianlong asked, "Which four books?" Ji Xiaolan: "Four subsets of the history of the classics." Qianlong was dumbfounded. Ji Xiaolan went to be embarrassed again, and asked him to pick out books other than the subset of jingshi to burn, and said: "What else do I pick, these books are all summarized in the subset of jingshi, you have all picked, what else are you burning!" ”
Thus, a batch of so-called "anti-books" was preserved.
So, what is the "subset of the history of the scriptures"? Originally, the "subset of the history of the classics" was derived from the classification of the Four Libraries.
Among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, the Qianlong Emperor was an emperor who wanted to do both, and during his reign, martial arts flourished, quelled rebellions in the border areas, and laid the map of modern China. Martial arts alone were not enough, and WenZhi had to work hard to deserve his self-appointed title of "Ten Completes", so he personally advocated and compiled a large-scale literature series", "Four Libraries quanshu".
The Compilation of the Siku Quanshu began in the 38th year of the Qianlong Dynasty (1773) and took 9 years to write. A total of 3503 kinds of books, 79337 volumes, 36304 volumes, nearly 2.3 million pages, about 800 million words. The set contains most of the important ancient books from the pre-Qin to the pre-Qianlong Qing Dynasty, covering almost all academic fields in ancient China (including The works of Japan, Korea, Vietnam, India, and some European missionaries to China), and is the largest set of books in Chinese history.
The "Four Libraries of the Whole Book" can be said to include a variety of famous ancient and modern Chinese and foreign names, so rich and complex content, how to edit and classify it? The editors of the "Four Libraries" were very clever, and divided it into four parts according to the content: "scripture, history, sub-collection", which greatly facilitated the retrieval of future generations.
So, what are the contents of the "Four Libraries" "Classics, Histories, Sub-Collections" each contained?
Ministry of Economics ——

This is a good understanding of the inclusion of history books, including 15 categories, including the main history category, the chronicle category, the chronicle category, the miscellaneous history category, the other history category, the edict and decree discussion category, the biographical category, the historical banknote category, the chronicle category, the seasonal category, the geography category, the official category, the political book category, the catalogue category, and the historical commentary category.
Sub-division -
It includes the works of Zhuzi Hundred Schools and similar books (similar books, which is a large-scale information book in ancient China. The materials in various books are compiled for inspection according to categories and rhymes, such as the Taiping Imperial Dictionary, the Integration of Ancient and Modern Books, etc., which are equivalent to the current reference books), including 14 categories such as Confucianism, Bingjia, Law, Farming, Doctor, Astronomical Algorithm, Arithmetic, Art, Genealogy, Miscellaneous, Book, Novelist, Interpreter, taoist and so on.

It includes the poetry and word collections and special collections of the literati of all generations except zhuzi and hundreds of families, including 5 major categories of Chu ci, beiji, general collection, poetry commentary, and song and song, of which the song and song category is divided into 5 genera: word collection, word selection, word composition, and rhyme, and southern and northern songs. In addition to Zhang Hui novels and drama works, the above categories basically include various books circulating in society. As far as the authors are concerned, they are written by various figures, including women, monks, Taoists, eunuchs, soldiers, emperors, foreigners, etc.
Qianlong, He Yan and Ji Xiaolan were all participants in the Siku Quanshu, so Ji Xiaolan was able to win with one move. At that time, Qianlong was the chief planner of the "Four Libraries and Complete Books", and Ji Xiaolan was the chief editor, the vice president officer, and the chief reading officer, and Ji Xiaolan was the chief editor, and according to his duties, Ji Xiaolan was the subordinate of the next level of He yan -- because Ji Xiaolan's chief editor was above the chief reading officer, and above the general reading officer was the vice president officer, and above the vice president officer was the chief judge. Therefore, in the TV series, there will be a real sentence from Hezhen: "The books of the world are all summarized in the subset of the history of the classics, what else do I pick?!" ”
