Chapter 1,363 Cave No. 16

But it's too early to say this now.

The next morning, the sergeants turned into farmers and went to cultivate the land and assemble waterwheels, windmills, and equidistant spiral irrigation stations.

The settlement area is easy to find, it is the outer area of ​​the farmland outside Shazhou City.

One characteristic of these areas is that they only need a little more water resources to become cultivated land.

However, this is a threshold that even local farmers cannot cross, limiting the development of agriculture.

But science and engineering can.

Su You didn't go, so it was enough to leave this matter to Li Yong. He returned to the cave and supervised Liu Xun's work.

Soon, Liu Hao removed some of the mud bricks from the bottom of the cave, revealing a small hole that could only be entered by one person.

Su You waved his hand, and the science and engineering team came forward and began to assemble a strange thing.

If the flat can is here, you can definitely tell that dad is playing with the small mine car track model.

After installing one section, Su You transported one section into the hole. After it had been transported for a while, he put it on the cart board and put a lamb on it.

There is a long pole on the carriage board, and the lamb's legs are tied. After being put in for a while, the long pole is used to pull the lamb out of the carriage, no problem.

At the same time, Su You directed the science and engineering team to conjure up many mirrors, assemble and adjust them outside the cave, and finally reflected the sunlight from outside the valley into the cave. Then he said to Liu Xun: "Okay, go in.

.”

Liu Xun had never seen such a trick before. He couldn't help but be stunned. He suddenly remembered that there was a legendary group of tomb robbers who were proficient in tunnel traps. Many of the legendary traps in large tombs were designed by their ancestors.

That sect is called the Molu Sect, and it is said that they have received the inheritance of Mo Qu and Lu Ban. When they enter the tomb, those institutions that talk about it with disgrace are no longer their enemies, but their helpers and helpers.

In a daze, he held up his hands and complimented: "It turns out that the great scholars are also of the same sect. There has been no news about the Molu sect since Hanwu. They are the most mysterious and top-notch existence in our profession, but it turns out that there are still descendants in the world..."

Su You was stunned. What the hell was this nonsense talking about?

Zhang Qi coughed lightly: "Liu Xun, are you confused because you have eaten too much mutton these days? Hurry up!"

Only then did Liu Xun realize that it was taboo to spy on someone's family background, and he broke into a cold sweat for a while.

Su You waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense and take off your clothes quickly to prevent getting caught."

Many small carts were connected together, and Liu Xun was allowed to lie on them, and Su You sent him in.

Then I heard Liu Xun shouting from inside: "Grand Master, here are all books and some statues!"

Su You said: "Put the things on the truck and we will transport them out."

…

On April 5, the fifth year of Yuanfeng, the secret room in Cave No. 16 of Daquanhe in Dunhuang was discovered, which shocked the entire academic world of the Song Dynasty.

A total of more than 50,000 cultural relics from the Dunhuang secret collection were found in Cave No. 16. In addition, there were a large number of scrolls, book engravings, documents, gold and silver and other statues, Buddhist treasures, and utensils.

Buddhist books account for more than 80% of the literature, and the works include sutras, laws, treatises, exegesis, apocrypha, hymns, dharani, vows, invitations, confessions, catalogs of sutra collections, etc.

These Buddhist books mainly come in three types: scroll, folded sutra and booklet. They also come in the form of Sanskrit basket, butterfly, hanging scroll and single scattered pages.

Judging from the internal handwriting, it can be divided into two types: manuscripts and printed copies, with manuscripts accounting for the majority.

A large number of scriptures are handwritten by full-time copyists, with dignified handwriting and beautiful workmanship.

The strokes are very heavy and have a formal meaning, which is the calligraphy style of the pre-Tang Dynasty.

After the Tang Dynasty, manuscripts were mainly written in regular script.

There are more than 40,000 copies of these manuscripts alone.

There are also 600 picture scrolls. In addition to paintings on paper, there are also paintings on silk and embroidery, which are extremely exquisite.

Among them, the more valuable ones are Confucian classics and official archives.

Cheng Yue took out a scroll and opened it, frowning: "This thing is being read by five-year-old children in Bianjing City. It's just the Analects of Confucius. It's nothing serious. Why are the bachelors so serious?"

Su You was elated when he saw the first load of things delivered: "You are not a scholar, so I don't blame you for not knowing the importance... Wait, show me the Analects of Confucius!"

Taking the hand scroll outside the cave, Su You became more solemn as he looked at it, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha... Bachelor Sima, take the move!"

Zhang Qi was curious: "What's wrong, young master? The Analects of Confucius is very important?"

When he took the scroll over and took a look, he said: "It's nothing, the Analects of Confucius is not all the same... wait! This... this... this... this is... Huang Kanshu!"

Huang Kan, a puppet of the emperor, whose name is unknown, was a native of Wu County, Liang State in the Southern Dynasties.

He was a famous Confucian scholar and Confucian scholar at that time.

Huang Kan is the ninth grandson of Huang Xiang, the governor of Qingzhou. He once served as an assistant to the Imperial Academy and a member of the imperial family.

Huang Kan was young and eager to learn, and when he was a teacher, he was known as Confucian Kuaiji Heta.

When he grew up, he became proficient in Confucian classics, especially "Three Rites", "The Classic of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius".

He wrote ten volumes of "Analects on Meanings", which was a little less traditional in exegesis of chapters and sentences and the system of names and objects, but mostly based on the metaphysics of Lao and Zhuang.

For example, in "The Analects of Confucius·Xueer", "A gentleman will not be powerful if he is not serious, and he will not be solid if he is learned." The explanation is: "Heavy is the root of lightness, tranquility is the root of dryness. The body of a gentleman cannot be frivolous."

This kind of statement is far from the Han Confucian scriptures, and shows the metaphysics style of the Southern Dynasties.

In addition to "The Analects of Meanings", he also wrote "The Book of Rites", "The Book of Rites", "The Book of Filial Piety", etc., but they can only be found in ancient notes because they are all lost.

In the midst of war.

Brother Xiao Qi's cultural level is actually quite good, otherwise he wouldn't have attracted educated girls like Lu Ruo and people like Liu Yong Yanqing to pursue him.

When Wang Anshi was on the same ship, he tried to persuade him to take the imperial examination and serve the country, but the boy laughed it off.

So he could see the importance at a glance.

Soon, more valuable cultural classics were uncovered.

In addition to Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism!

There are many copies of the Buddhist "Diamond Sutra" and "Miaofa Lotus Sutra", but some Chinese versions of the scriptures have also been found that have been lost, such as the teachings and scriptures of the Third Order Sect, which were repeatedly banned during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and

A group of suspected apocrypha.

There are more than 500 Taoist scriptures, the most important of which are the "Laozi Tao Te Ching Xiang'er Commentary" and "Laozi Hua Hu Jing" written in the Northern Dynasties and other Taoist classics that have been lost.

There are even Manichaean scriptures that once appeared briefly in China, such as "A Brief Introduction to Manichaean Buddhist Dharma and Rituals".

As well as Nestorian, that is, Christian scriptures such as "The Three Majesties of Nestorianism in the Great Qin Dynasty" and other scriptures.

In terms of Confucianism, in addition to classics, histories, zi, and collections, there are also official and private archives, including medicine, astronomy, poetry, and folklore.

Such as "Shangshu", Zheng Xuan's "Analects of Confucius", "Mao Shi", "Spring and Autumn", "Laozi", "Zhuangzi", "Selected Works" and other manuscripts;

Those that have been lost but have been rediscovered include "Li Gu Ding Shangshu", Huang Kan's "Lun Yue Shu", "Book of Rites", "Book of Rites", "The Book of Filial Piety", Liu Xiang's "Shuo"

"Yuan" Volume 5 to Volume 20!

There are a large number of remaining official and private archive documents, including the "Lü Shu", "Formula Order", "Shenlong Sanfa Xing Bu Ge", "Shui Bu Shi", etc. from the Tang Dynasty...

There are original archives of ancient official offices from the Han Dynasty to the early Song Dynasty, such as talismans, ultimatums, statements, notices, judgments, prosecutions, public inspections, ultimatums, and personal reports.

There are a large number of household registrations, accounting, handwritten documents, tenancies from various dynasties, loan contracts, good documents, etc...

There are various geographical records, official and private genealogies, especially various suicide notes from the time when the Zhang and Cao families returned to the Yijun regime, which are extremely important for understanding the history of the Han family regime in Hexi.

Among the literary works, there are copies and lost works of outstanding works handed down by literati from the Central Plains, such as Wei Zhuang's "Qin Women's Song", more than 300 poems by Wang Fanzhi, etc., as well as local secular literary works that have never been handed down, such as poems, poems,

Bianwen, lecturing on scriptures, obituaries, slang, etc.

There are even many documents on science and technology. In addition to many long-lost medical books and prescriptions, astronomical calculation materials, and even a set of "All-Sky Star Chart"!

In addition to being the earliest star chart currently known, the stars registered in this set of star charts were the star charts with the largest number of stars known before Su You and the Tianshi Mansion launched the star chart project!

This made Su You feel a little confused. Could it be that someone had already taken a step ahead of him before he traveled through time?

There is even a "Dance Score" that Zhang Qi regards as a treasure and plans to copy and send it to please his wife!

The more he looked at the things, the more frightening he became. While Su You hurriedly ordered people to register and make records, he used the balsa boards he brought to process wooden boxes, numbered them and sealed them. He sent the first batch of documents to Luoyang and handed them over to Xijing to promote Shang Zhou.
