“Let’s talk about ‘Jianyang Kou’ first.”

"Kou is actually the unit of measurement for paper in Fujian, similar to what we call 'knife' now."

"There are actually two kinds of paper named after 'kou' in Fujian, one is called 'Jianyang Kou' and the other is called 'Yu Kou'."

"The place of origin of 'Yu Buckle' is Ninghua, which is also one of the four major paper-producing counties in Fujian. Ninghua is rich in native paper, and its top quality is called 'Yu Buckle Paper'."

"The jade button paper is as white as jade, made entirely from young bamboo. It has good texture, is smooth and flexible, has strong tensile strength, does not cause lint when rubbed, is uniform in sheet, clear and transparent, easy to write on, ink will not fade, and will not be corroded for a long time. It is

Good calligraphy paper is comparable to rice paper."

"The use of jade buckle paper for printing books began in the Song Dynasty. In addition to national books on classics and history, local chronicles in Ting County and works by famous people are printed on it. Genealogy and temple scriptures also like to use this kind of bamboo paper."

"Later, when the quality of bamboo paper was improved, jade buckle paper became more and more used for calligraphy and painting, and the same technology was spread to Jianyang, thus Jianyang buckle bamboo paper."

"The quality of Jianyang bamboo paper is actually slightly lower than that of jade paper. As a paper for calligraphy and painting, it is not considered to be superior. However, due to its large output and affordable price, its quality is very high among printing papers, and it is very popular among booksellers.

welcome."

"In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, 'Jianyang Kou', which was specially used for printing books, was also the top grade among bamboo paper, and was all monopolized by Jiangsu calligraphers. "Fujian Produce Records" states: "For two hundred years, Wuzhong Bookstore every year

It is used to press the groove, and it is forbidden to be used for external use."

"In other words, Jianyang's paper buckles are monopolized by all the bookstores in Suzhou."

In Teacher Yuan's eloquent narrative, Zhou Zhi seems to have seen a smoke-filled business war that lasted for hundreds of years. Countless businessmen fought hard for the biggest piece of cake in the cultural market of China, an ancient civilization.

"Teacher Yuan, can we understand it this way? In the Song Dynasty, the best printing paper was produced in Fujian, the best engraving technology was always in Yuhang, and we in Shu got two middle schools." Zhou Zhi listened to the story and made his own.

Analysis: "But taken together, Yuhang is first, Shu is second, and Jianyang is third."

"With the development and changes of the times, Shu's competitive advantage has been suppressed, and Fujian has become a supplier specializing in papermaking, while Yuhang has become the last resort to print high-quality books using Fujian paper and its own engraving technology.

Winner?"

"It can't be said completely." Teacher Yuan said with a smile: "Since the Northern Song Dynasty, the cultural undertakings in Shu have been relatively prosperous, but they are relatively closed. Therefore, the printing industry is mostly self-sufficient, and the quality of book paper and engravings has been improving.

of."

"And even if we look at the technology of the Song Dynasty, we can't just say that Yuhang is the first, and our Shu blockbuster can only be considered the second."

Teacher Yuan expressed dissatisfaction with this theory: "What many people don't know is that the Song Dynasty's most massive and far-reaching official engravings include the Tripitaka in more than 5,000 volumes and the Taiping Yulan in 1,000 volumes. ", "Cefu Yuangui", a thousand-volume collection of poems and chapters "Wenyuan Yinghua" and a five-hundred-volume collection of novels "Taiping Guangji", we Shuchuan were responsible for printing three of them. We, the capital of Shu, undertook This was the first large-scale official engraving publishing work in my country’s publishing history.”

"We can take the Tripitaka as an example to illustrate how brilliant the 'Shu Edition' was at that time."

"In the fourth year of Kaibao in the early Northern Song Dynasty, that is, 971 AD, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin ordered Sichuan to carve the Tripitaka, also known as "Kaibao", with a total of 5048 volumes."

"It took thirteen years to complete, and was completed in 983, the eighth year of the Taiping Xingguo era. It was finally shipped to Kaifeng for printing, with a total of 130,000 blocks."

"This is the first complete collection of Buddhist scriptures in the history of our country. Most of the Tripitakas published in subsequent generations are copies of the Song and Shu editions."

"The central government of the Song Dynasty also successively donated the Tripitaka carved from Shu to Korea, Vietnam, Japan and other countries, which played an important role in engraving printing and cultural exchanges in Asia. The Japanese monk Enran brought the Tripitaka with him in 986

After returning to Japan, the stereotype printing technique, which had been introduced to Japan for more than two hundred years, really became popular."

"I know about this. At that time, the leakage of books from the Song Dynasty also aroused Su Shi's vigilance. He wrote a letter to the magistrate of Hangzhou asking to be vigilant and supervise the purchase of books by Koreans and Japanese, such as "Taiping Yulan" and other books.

, must not flow into foreign countries.”

""Taiping Yulan" is a thousand-volume book that was started in 977, the second year of Taiping Xingguo, and was completed in 983, the eighth year of Taiping Xingguo. It was engraved under the supervision of Pu Shuxian, the transfer judge of Chengdu Fulu and a scholar.

.”

"There is also an idiom about this book, do you know elbow?"

"Teacher Yuan, you are testing me." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Song Dynasty Wang Pizhi mentioned in "Mianshui Yan Tan Lu" that after "Taiping Yulan" was written, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi couldn't put it down. He once said: "This book has thousands of volumes.

I want to read it all in one year, so I ordered people to read three volumes every day and prepare a "Yiye Reading". For example, "due to lack of work, I will make up for it in my spare time."

"The waiter may have thought it was too much work, so he gave some advice. Taizong said: 'Opening the book is beneficial, I don't think it's a chore.' Therefore, the idiom 'Opening the book is beneficial' comes from this "Taiping Yulan"."

"The base of the elbow is good. You can open your mouth to come." Teacher Yuan now understands why Mr. Gu is so indulgent and doting on this young disciple: "Why don't you come to the history department, and I will personally take you to identify and stitch together the broken characters of rare books.

, I need your skills."

"Cough cough cough..." Gu Youwen hurriedly pretended to cough: "My master is still here, Xiao Yuan, you started poaching people. This is a bit unethical..."

"The school can actually recruit people with elbows like this, right?" Teacher Yuan liked Zhou Zhi more and more: "Didn't they all publish thesis outlines in "Literature and History"? Why should the college entrance examination scores be considered for this level?"

In fact, Gu Youwen had considered this issue for a long time, but he had no intention of telling Zhou Zhi at all. He just thought that he could take this path in case Zhou Zhi failed the college entrance examination.

But this possibility is so small that it is almost impossible. Gu Youwen thinks that he can still afford to wait for a year or two, so he is not in a hurry. Otherwise, with his influence, he can bring Zhou Zhi to Sichuan University now.

However, that would inevitably trigger heated discussions, which might not necessarily be a good thing for Zhou Zhi.

So he waved his hand and said: "If my closed disciple enters Shu University in this way, even if you know that he is relying on his power, others will believe that he did not go through the back door? Don't waste your whole life just to save a year or two."

"Master Zuzu is a real person." Zhou Zhi admired him very much: "The key is that this will create an inappropriate 'precedent' for Shu University and even universities across China."

"It's not a good thing either for emotion or reason, for public or private affairs."

"You have a good mentality." Teacher Yuan said with a smile: "The ideas are comprehensive, but it's just a waste of time..."

"Because I love vanity." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Just think of it as previewing in advance to prepare yourself for the future admission and suppressing classmates. How can it be a waste of time..."

"Ah? Hahahaha... You said that Su Dongpo will not study after 40, is this the trick? Because he finished reading in advance!"

The exchange between a few people seems simple, but there is a lot of "basic common sense" underneath. If an outsider without these "basic common sense" sounds like it, he will look confused.

For example, Manager Fei.
