——Commenting on Professor Liu Deqing and other new schools " The Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang "
Li Taosheng
The latest compilation of the "Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang" was recently published by the Jiangxi People's Publishing House. "The Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang" is a record of the times composed by the national hero Wen Tianxiang with blood and tears, which embodies the hatred of a patriot's national hatred and family hatred, sincere affection, touching heart, and great historical, ideological and literary value. In the past hundred years, the "Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang" published by the new style have only seen two kinds. One is the 1936 lead type typeset edition of the World Book Office,"The Complete Works of Mr. Wenshan", which was reprinted and published by the China Bookstore in Beijing in 1985 and retitled "The Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang", which only added circles next to traditional characters to show broken sentences, no new punctuation, no paragraph division, no proofreading, and there were many flaws in the broken sentences. The other is the "Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang" compiled and published by Xiong Fei, Qi Shengqi and Huang Shunqiang by the Jiangxi People's Publishing House in 1987, which is a modern finishing in the true sense, but there are many punctuation errors, limited prints, and there is no republishment after the first edition, which is difficult for ordinary readers to see. It can be said that before the new edition of "The Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang" came out, there was no complete copy of Wen Tianxiang's writings in the academic circles. Based on this, the Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang has been selected as "13th Five-Year National Key Book Publishing Planning Project" and "2011-2020 National Ancient Books Collation and Publishing Planning New Project". After the completion of the project by Professor Liu Deqing, the project was then reviewed and selected as a "2020 National Publishing Fund Funded Project" and published as scheduled at the end of 2020.
Looking at the whole book, the new edition of the Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang has the following three characteristics:
First, the body is upright, because of the revolution. The base of the new edition of "The Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang" is actually a Yuanyuan volume of the Luling Hu Yinggao Fujian Shaowu engraving "The Complete Works of Mr. Wenshan" in the third year of the Ming Wanli Calendar (Yuanyuan Yuanyuan Year), which has made corrections to zhang Yuanyu, Yan Maoqing, Zhang Qipeng and other engravings, and belongs to the fine works in the old engravings of Wen Tianxiang's writings. For decades, this book has been a popular social book, easy for ordinary readers to see and know. The style of the latest collated version, there are reasons for the revolution, generally due to the attack on the base, but the original Yuanyuan scroll has been added to the round scroll. Among them, the former Yuan volumes basically maintain the original appearance of the old compilations, that is, volumes 1 and 2: poems; volume 3: countermeasures, sealing affairs, and internal systems; volume 4: table notes, sparse, and Shen province; volumes 5 and 6: books; volumes 7 and 8: qi; volume 9: records, prefaces; volume 10: inscriptions, praises, inscriptions, and sayings; volume 11: lecture notes, deeds, epitaphs, and sacrifice texts; volume 12: music language, Shangliang text, and gongmu; volume 13: guide records; volume 14: guide after recording; volume 15: guide after recording, chanting collection; volume 16: collection of Du poems; volume 17: Chronicles. There are two slight changes to the editorial style: first, for the sake of eye-catching and convenient, the original poem inscription is too long to be simplified, and the long poem title is changed to make a preface; the second is to add the serial number to the group of poems that have not been identified with the serial number. The original volume XVIII "ShiYi" only collected 3 short articles, and there is a non-author's text, and now this article has been deleted, and a new "Shiyi" is added to two volumes, namely volume 18 "Shiyi Poetry", in addition to the fragments, a total of the distant source of the poems, etymology; volume 19 "Shiyi Wen", a total of "Shiyi · Wen", a total of the source of the text. The original volumes 19 and 20 "Appendices" are now merged into Volume 20 "Appendix I", counting the round wishes. Two volumes of "Appendices" have also been added, namely Volume 21 "Appendix II", Ji YuanYuan Chapter; Volume 22 "Appendix III", Ji Yuan Yuan Chapter. The content of the poem and the appendix is greatly expanded than the original, aiming to show the appearance of the "Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang", so that readers can more fully and truly understand the author and understand the author's human text.
Second, the school is rigorous and pragmatic. The Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang was originally written in a rough and bumpy book, and it is inevitable that it will be false and derived from the thousand-year-old circulation, and only through proofreading and seeking truth can its original appearance be restored. The main reference books of the new edition of the Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang are: Han Yong in the sixth year of Ming Jingtai (Yuanyuan Yuanyuan Year), Yuanyuan Volume of "The Collected Works of Mr. Wenshan" engraved by Chen Price, Yan Maoqing of the Thirty-first Year of Ming Jiajing (Yuanyuan Yuanyuan), Yuanyuan Volume of "The Complete Works of Mr. Wenshan" engraved by Ning Pet, "The Complete Works of Mr. Wenshan" engraved by Ming Chongzhen in the fourth year (Yuanyuan Ape Year), the Yuanyuan volume of the "Complete Works of Mr. Wenshan of the New Carved Song Dynasty" engraved by Zhang Qipeng, and the "Four Libraries, Wenshan Collection, Wenxin Guoji DuShi" compiled during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The "Complete Collection of Wenxin Guogong" engraved by Wenzhu in the twenty-fifth year of Qing Daoguang (Yuanyuanyuanyuan) (with the survey of Hu Sijing reprinting in the ninth year of the Republic of China), and the first edition of the "Four Series of Periodicals" of the Shanghai Commercial Press in the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China (yuanyuan year of the yuanyuan year) of the Shanghai Commercial Press, the photocopy of the Ming engraving "The Complete Works of Mr. Wenshan" Yuanyuan Volume, etc. In addition, he has extensively participated in ancient poetry anthologies, ancient notes, books, fangzhi, genealogy, etc. Proofreading and punctuation are related to accurately understanding the meaning of the work, and when the new edition of the "Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang" is proofread, it not only draws on the results of the previous collation, but also has its own considerations. Among the results of the previous collation, the "Quan Song Wen" is known for its fine schooling, but it is inevitable that there will be a thousand mistakes, and omissions are inevitable. The new edition of the Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang corrects some omissions in the Quan Song Wen.
One omission was the typo of the proofreading. For example, volume 5 "With Luling Chen Zhi County Yaoju" "A glance at the river is empty, the twilight clouds are like water, and the head of Weibin is the first Ning to return for others!" Among them, "One Eye", "Quan Song Wen" according to the base of the "four series" of this work "one day". The new edition of the Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang is corrected according to Han Yongben, Yan Maoqingben, Zhang Yuanyu, and Siku Quanshu. Another example is Volume VI", "Hui Qianren (Wang Appeased Lixin)", "Its Zhou Gongjin, Zu Shizhi and the like!" Among them, "Zu Shi Zhi", "Quan Song Wen" is "Zu Shi Ya" according to the base. Zu Di, the character shi childish. The new version was corrected according to the Han Yong Ben, Yan Mao Qing Ben, and Siku Quanshu Ben. In addition, "Steaming for Ganlin" in Volume VI "And the Former Jiangxi Zhao Cang and Yu", "Steaming for Ganlin" in Volume VI "He Zhi Ji Zhou Huang Ti Lifter", "Serving with An Shu Shui" in Volume VI "Returning to Guangdong Cao Ti Punishment", "Qiong Lang Tang Fu" in Volume VI "Returning to Guangdong Cao Ti Punishment", "Shavings thought it was a dumpling", Volume VII "Except Gan Shou Hui Song Heng Zhou Sleeve Feast" in "Helping Me Back to the Car Joy", Volume VIII "Ten Thousand Years of The Return to the Song Taxation Court" "Smelling the Sound of Chibi", Volume X "Answering Ouyang Secretary's Undertaking Heart System" in "A Certain Beginning of His Cultivation", Volume 11 "Xi Ming Temple's Lecture on Respecting Heaven" in "The Above Are" Yi Yan (易彖) "To the effect", the "Seventeenth Staff of the Broken Ridge" in Volume XII's "Judgment on the Rehabilitation of Yang Xiaosan's Death", etc., the new edition of the "Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang" have been corrected according to the above-mentioned rare books in the "Complete Works of Mr. Wen Shan".
The second omission is to break the wrong sentence when punctuation. For example, in volume 10, "Chen Fengchun Xiaoxuan said" "Fen, Jian, Xiao Qi's nature is also", of which "Fen, Jian", Shi Jian, the son of Wan shi Jun Shi Fen, father and son were both ministers during the han wudi period. "Quan Song Wen" as "Strive to build, Xiao Qi's sex also." This is a misinterpretation of the meaning of the word, and the two names should be separated by the ton number. Another example is volume 11 "The Facts of Mr. Ge Zhai of the First Gentleman", "Reward all things are true, things cannot be directly helped, or the Tao is tricky, it is better to be unlucky, not to be ashamed of oneself to win", and the Quan Song Wen is "to entertain all the truth, things cannot be directly helped, or the Tao is deceitful, it is better not to be good, not to do it." Shame wins, words and unevenness, words and breath, no color", this is a broken sentence wrong standard, "shame self wins" belongs to the previous sentence, because of the wrong mark and the meaning is not smooth. Another example is volume 9 "Jizhou Right Courtyard Prison Void Record" "and the province of the prison is not more than three", "The whole Song Wen" writes "And the province of the prison is not more than the size of the three or four seas", which is a broken sentence missing the standard, "the big of the four seas" originally belongs to the next sentence "The four seas are big, the people of the trillions, can not be compared with one courtyard". In addition, the new edition of the Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang corrects many of the errors and corrections in the above-mentioned new-style collated "Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang".
Third, the editor is cautious and suspicious in the transmission of letters. Compiling Wen Tianxiang's poems, which have been scattered or missing, from other existing documents is one of the important functions of the new edition of the Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang. According to the "Fan Cases", "the poems that are not in the original texts are discovered by posterity one after another and compiled into other books, and the source is indicated at the end of the article", in order to avoid the common "omissions" and "abuses" of the compilation, to show the original appearance of the "Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang", the new edition of the "Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang" sequentially compiles Zhang Qipeng's book, the "Four Libraries Quanshu" ben, Xiong Fei and other "Wen Tianxiang Complete Works" school point version, "Former Song Poems", Liu Wenyuan's "Wen Tianxiang Poetry Collection School Notes", "Quan Song Ci", "Quan Song Wen" and other compilation results. At the same time, for those who have doubts, there are also traces of the origin, comprehensive examination, and dialectical explanation, and there are also their own trade-offs, changes and additions. For example, volume 18 "ShiYi Poems", on the "Whole Song Poems" compilation of "Taibai Lou", it is pointed out that this poem "Yuan Cao Bo Qiao "Cao Wen Zhen Gong Poetry Collection" as "Jeju Deng Tai Bai Lou Huai Zheng Congwen Yushi Two Songs" one of them, "Selected Poems of Yuan Poems" Volume 2 and 3 are the same title, the same signature Cao Bo Shuo. One of the 35th volume of the "Shandong Tongzhi" is signed by Yuan Zhang Yanghao, entitled "Jeju Dengtaibailou". The author of this poem is in doubt". He also pointed out that Liu Wenyuan's "Wen Tianxiang Poetry Collection" compilation of poems such as "Dengwu Suicheng", "Suicheng Daozhong", "Wangyijing", "Fan Yang", and "Hejian Chaosi Temple" and other poems, pointed out that "Dengwu Suicheng" and "Wang Yijing" were "compiled into Yuan Liu Yin's "Ashram Collection" volume 15", "Suicheng Daozhong" was "compiled into Yuan Liu Yin's "Ashram Collection" volume 2 Yin", "Fan Yang" was "compiled into Yuan Fu Ruojin's "Fu and Li Poems" volume 5", "Hejian Chao Temple" "See also Wang Anshi's "Linchuan Mr. Anthology" volume 16, Song Libi", "Wang Jinggong's Poetry Notes" volume 25". Such poems are compiled according to individual Fang Zhi, and in various Song poem anthologies, they are not written by Wen Tianxiang, thus revealing that "the author is suspicious". With regard to Wen Tianxiang's "Poems" and "Anthony Texts" contained in various newspapers and periodicals, according to the "Fan Cases", "Since the 1980s, various newspapers and periodicals have contained Wen Tianxiang 'Anshi Poems' and 'Anthony Texts', in view of the fact that there have often been impostors in ancient times, who have added new poems, strictly selected and recorded them, so as to avoid falsification and abuse", the new edition of the "Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang" is particularly cautious about the addition of new collections. Wen Tianxiang's poems, only the new series of "Gurudwara Poems", "Bang Yuan Deheng", "Dengxiong Prefecture City Tower", "Desperate Self-Praise", "Praise Zhou Xuanyong" 5 poems, You Wen only the new series of "Luo Clan Genealogy", "And Shen Zhai Book", "Ting wei Zhou Gong Zan", "Sacrifice Wanling Mr. Wen" two pieces, and "Re-cultivation of hui qingtang record" a total of 6 pieces, aimed at transmitting the truth, in order to prevent false abuse.
The collation and publication of the Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang is the requirement of the times and the call of society. In the past years of humiliation when the Chinese nation was deeply disastrous, the magnificent righteousness and indomitable spirit inherited by Wen Tianxiang's writings, and the national integrity and patriotic feelings displayed by Wen Tianxiang's writings, have encouraged countless benevolent people to forge ahead one after another on the journey of saving the people and seeking national liberation. Today's world is facing major changes unprecedented in a century, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is full of opportunities and challenges. China in the new era needs to carry forward the patriotic spirit of Wen Tianxiang, and the new edition of "The Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang" should be born from time to time, which will not only help people to get closer to the national hero Wen Tianxiang and understand the society of the Song Dynasty and the culture of the Song Dynasty, but also help to promote the research work of Wen Tianxiang, cultivate the grand and upright atmosphere in the world, build a personality model and life value orientation of "taking the world as their own responsibility", and promote the rise and great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
