According to reports, the "Yongle Canon" was written during the Ming Dynasty Zhu Di Yongle period, compiled by Xie Jin, Yao Guangxiao and others; reprinted at the end of the Ming Jiajing period, a total of 11,095 volumes, 22,877 volumes, more than 370 million words. There are more than 400 copies of Jiajing in existence, 224 volumes in the collection of the National Library of China, and more than 100 volumes in 8 countries around the world. The three copies of Jiajing of the Yongle Canon in this exhibition are the first time they have left the National Library to be exhibited outside.
The reporter saw in the Hubei Provincial Library on the 17th that many citizens made reservations online and admired the exhibition. The 3 copies of Jiajing of the Yongle Canon are placed in glass display cabinets with constant temperature and humidity, even though they have a history of 500 or 600 years, they are still as new as ink, tough paper, and dignified and powerful handwriting. The Yongle Canon is a grand folio, with a single volume height of 50.3 cm and a width of 30 cm.

Ma Zhili, a staff member of the Ancient Books and Local Literature Department of Hubei Provincial Library, introduced that the Yongle Canon brings together 7,000 or 8,000 kinds of books from the pre-Qin to the Ming and Yongle years, collecting "the books of the scriptures, histories, sub-books, collections, and hundreds of families since the book deeds, as for astronomy, geological records, yin and yang, medical divination, monasticism, and technical words", which is the largest type of book in ancient times. The Yongle Canon is different from the general book, and is not a book for ordinary people. Books such as the Siku Quanshu are encouraged to be copied and circulated by booksellers, officials, and non-governmental students.
It is understood that the Yongle Canon has a deep relationship with Hubei. Emperor Ming Jiajing, who grew up in Lufu, Huguang'an (present-day Zhongxiang City), ordered the re-recording of the Yongle Canon in the 41st year of Jiajing, in which records of Hubei's historical materials, geographical conditions, customs and customs, medical science and technology, and poetry abounded.
"The Yongle Canon is an important symbol of Chinese culture, recording the historical development of the Chinese nation and letting us know where the roots are." Tian Xiaosong, 69, said after viewing the exhibition.
