"World Book Day" is only one day a year, but "happy reading" should be insisted on every day. As far as reading is concerned, we live in a happy and painful era, with countless good books published every day, bringing us knowledge and wisdom. In the process of reading, we often have a painful experience, that is, the emergence of pirated books, all kinds of errors will affect our cognition. To this end, the mainland has specially promulgated the Copyright Law, which makes clear provisions on the acts of piracy infringing on the copyrights of others. The Penal Code also contains provisions to combat piracy.
In ancient times, although there was also printing technology, there were still a large number of scriptures, history books, hundreds of families and famous anthologies, which were copied by officials or individuals, and it was inevitable that there would be clerical errors in publication. In order to provide scholars with and school to write scriptures, the official Confucian scriptures engraved on the stele were called Confucian "Stone Classics". The practice of stone carving scriptures began in the first year of the Hanping Emperor 's reign (1 AD), and there have been stone scriptures in all subsequent dynasties, such as the Xiping Stone Classic, the Zhengshi Stone Classic, and the Kaicheng Stone Classic. The content of the carved stone can still be clearly seen today, with the Xiping Stone Sutra as the earliest, which I have seen at the national museum site.
In China's five-thousand-year history, only seven Confucian stone classics, such as Yi, Li, Spring and Autumn, Shangshu, and Shijing, have been engraved. In the "Why China" exhibition, the "Later Shu Remnant Stone Classic" of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period recommended by the Sichuan Museum is commonly known as the "Guangzheng Stone Classic". It is the beginning of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which lasted for nearly 200 years and brought together the Confucian "Thirteen Classics".
The "Guangzheng Stone Classic" is both engraved with scriptures and annotated texts, and the commentaries are parallel, and the proofreading is precise and the style is strict, which is the largest number of words, the longest publication time, and the largest scale in the "Stone Classics" of all dynasties. Therefore, it has long been loved by Xuelin, and has had an extremely important influence on the formal stereotyping of the "Thirteen Classics" of Confucianism and the formation of the Confucian classic "Literature Model", and has been praised by scholars as "crowning the world and hanging endlessly".
Although the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were in turmoil, the emperors still attached importance to humanistic indoctrination and classical norms, and these remnants in front of us are the best proof.
