Chapter 24 "Huinan Honglie" Collection Explanation Preface

"Huinan Honglie" Collection Explanation Preface There are about three ways to sort out the history of the country: one is indexed sorting; the other is general ledger sorting; the other is special history sorting.There are so many classics, and it is difficult to check them out. Although there are people who have learned a lot and memorized, the power of memory will eventually be poor.The method of indexing is to use a certain order to collect disordered information; or according to rhyme, or according to calligraphy and painting. Its work is close to mechanical, and its use can make up for the incompetence of wise and talented people.That's why there is a work of "Historical Xing Yun Bian", and the middle and lower talents can use "Twenty-Four Histories"; Finishing also.

The general ledger type has always been a collection of notes, collection of biography, collection of talks, and the like.In the same book, there are disputes between the ancient and modern texts, the differences between the Han and Song Dynasties, the differences between Mao and Zheng, and the differences between Zheng and King.It has been a long time, and there are many different opinions.Those who stick to the views of the sect are limited to the words of a gentleman, and they do not hesitate to complicate their texts and rhetoric in order to win; however, as time goes by and the situation changes, the most important things in the past are just for future generations to pick up fragments.For two thousand years, tens of thousands of volumes have been turned upside down, to distinguish the similarities and differences of each school, to discard the dross, to pick up the essence, to end the thousands of years of litigation of the previous philosophers, and to save the infinite intelligence of future generations; Check out, of course, looking at the profits and losses of the past years, it is precisely because of this that it will lead the way for future operations.

Those who specialize in history have accumulated a lot, the system is clear, and there are people. Those who are close to their nature and can do what they can, choose a part of cultural history, either by category or by time, and write it as a special history.Those who specialize in history are the tributaries of general history but are actually the source of general history.For two thousand years, there has been no author in this field; Zheng Qiao is interested in general history, but there are not enough special histories for him to choose; Huang Zongxi, Quan Zuwang and others are interested in special history, but their achievements are very small.

This is what the previous repairs failed to catch, and it will be left to the later ones. My friend Professor Liu Shuya's new book ""Huinan Honglie" Collection and Explanation" is what I call a general ledger-style compilation of national history. "Book of the King of Huainan", a compromise between the Zhou and Qin scholars, "abandon their borders, appreciate their tranquility, do not follow the path of one trace, but keep the finger of a corner", which itself can be regarded as the master accountant of ancient thought.His book was written in the Han Dynasty, with fashionable rhetoric; looking at Xu Shen's and Gao You's annotations today, we know that annotations were necessary in the Han Dynasty.Over the years, the meaning of the text has changed, and the biography and writing have been scattered, making this book even more difficult to read.Medieval Confucianists repelled dissidents and ignored hundreds of schools of thought, so that this peerless book would not be revealed.Up to modern times, those who read the classics have been seeking old lessons from the teachers, and those who read them have begun to rectify the Qin and Han scholars a little; and "Huainan Wang Shu", especially many people.The most diligent and successful ones are none other than Gaoyou Wang's father and son; Deqing Yu's achievements have been made, which is already a lot of speculation; Wang Shaolan and Sun Yirang are quite careful, but there are not many schools.In addition, Zhuang Kuiji, Hong Yixuan, and Tao Fangqi invited people, and they all met with each other.Over the past 200 years, the merits of supplementary corrections and annotations have made this book a little bit readable.However, most of the records of various families are scattered in miscellaneous notes, and scholars rarely read them all; there are single-line books, but they only include sentence sentences, not the full text, which is very inconvenient for beginners.Therefore, what is done in the world today is still Zhuang Kui Jiben a hundred and fifty years ago, and the hard work of Wang and Yu is not for the enjoyment of most scholars; but Shu Ya's "Jijie" is not the work of today's scholars who govern the country. Priority?

Shu Yazhi's book is the most rigorous and lawful. I know that I will review it later, so please briefly explain it.Tang and Song dynasties cited the most Huainan king's books, but there were too many collations and annotations in the collection; Tao Fangqi was the most diligent, but there were still many omissions. At the beginning of Shu Ya's work on this book, he collected books from "Shuchao", "Zhiyao", "Yulan" and "Wenxuanzhu". The collection is exhaustive.After compiling, read them familiarly, and make them into recitations; then take the original book, and annotate it one by one; then compare the similarities and differences between the texts; Either define its gains and losses, or keep it aside; if it can be inferred to be Xu Shen's annotation, it should be stated clearly;Counting the book "Yu Lan", there are more than a thousand articles, and there are five or six hundred articles in "Wen Xuan Zhu".Its skill is so difficult, it should be the only one with many achievements.

When Fang Shuya compiled books, if there was any quotation, it was all compiled, and it was not left behind as what the predecessors had already done.And it is "Ji Jie", all those who have obtained and combined with the predecessors are attributed to the predecessors; if they have sufficient evidence for other schools, or correct their mistakes, they will first cite the other schools and use it as their own. The new evidence obtained is attached.As far as its independent theory is concerned, it only lists those with sufficient evidence and no doubts.There are often new meanings, and the pawns are unprepared to discard them because of supporting evidence; Shuya is unwilling to fight with friends or fight for them.For example, "Explanation and Training": "These four things, the ears, the eyes, the nose, the mouth, and the mouth don't know where to take them away.

The heart makes it, and everyone gets what he wants. According to Yu Yue, "the eyes are lustful, the ears are beautiful, and the mouth is delicious", because it is called "nose". The word is Yanwen; however, "Wenzi·Fuyanpian" says "the eyes are lustful, the ears are beautiful, the nose is fragrant, and the mouth is delicious", and there is also the word "鼻" below.In Shuya's manuscript, there is a statement about this: the word "nose is delicious" is removed from the above "mouth is good taste". "Wenzi Fuyan Pian" and here are the simultaneous mention of ears, eyes, mouth and nose, all of which are evidences.Yu did not use the "Wen Zi" to prove the lack of the above text, but instead added the word "鼻" as a later person according to the "Wen Zi", which is absurd.However, I did not find more definite evidence elsewhere, so I did not dare to refute it.

This shows Shuya's prudence.Shu Ya is happy to help prove what the predecessors said, but does not want to denounce his mistakes lightly, and there are many such things.However, there are also predecessors who made obvious mistakes, but Shu Yaning concealed his original ideas and became a hermit. Yuan means heaven; Yuan means qi." The two characters have ambiguous meanings and cannot be understood.Both the text and notes are wrong. The main text says, "Yuan Guang arrives at Dang and illuminates." The annotation text says, "Yuan is heaven; light is Qi." The word Yuanguang is found in this book.Gao Bi's commentary said, "Yuan Guang is Nei Ming. One said, Yuan, Tian Ye." However, this is called "Yuan, Tian Ye." It is exactly the same as his note.Suspected that there is also "light, qi." Three characters, now get rid of it.

("Zhuzi Pingyi" 30, page 8) Shuya wrote this in his manuscript: The Song and Ming editions are all written as "Xuanyuan to Dang and Yunzhao".Zhuang Ben avoided the taboo of the holy ancestors of the Qing Dynasty and changed Xuan to Yuan Er.Mrs. Yu has not seen the ancient version, but it is ridiculous to rely on Zhuang's original theory. "Xuan, Tian Ye" is an old saying. "Hou Dao", "Lan Ming", "Shuo Shan" and other chapters, the high-level annotations all say, "Xuan, Tian Ye."Huan Tan's "Xin Lun" and "Book of the Later Han·Zhang Heng Biography" note and quote), "The mysterious is the sky."

This article has not been included in the "Jijie" today. How can we blame the predecessors for taking advantage of the unpreparedness because it is so easy to get the Song and Ming editions today?This is too much loyalty, and it is not what we expect from scholars to seek sincerity. However, as discussed in the current printed edition of "Jijie", what Shuya is proud of is already impressive.For example, "Cu Zhen Xun" says: "The trees in a hundred circles are cut to make sacrificial venerables, engraved with jigsaw, mixed with green and yellow; flowers and algae are fresh, dragons, snakes, tigers and leopards are composed into articles."However, if it is broken in the ditch, it will be compared with the sacrifice, and if it is broken in the ditch, there will be a gap between ugliness and beauty.However, losing wood, Jun also.

Those who have always come to the school only deal with the exegesis of famous things, and there are no ones who are difficult to understand the meaning of the text.Shu Ya school said: "However, it is broken in the ditch" is suspiciously wrong. "Zhuangzi Tiandi Pian" says "it is broken in the ditch", which is not true.However, the quotation in "Yu Lan" 761 is correct.In the present version, the character "一" is mistakenly placed on the character "bi", and the biography is changed to "one", so the meaning cannot be understood. (Volume 2, Page 11) According to "Yu Lan" to collate, it is to collate "Huainan", which is very fine.Another example is "Falling Shape Training" cloud: Those without horns anoint but have no front; those with horns point but have no rear. Gao Zhuyun: Ointment, hog also, the genus of bear ape.Nothing before, fat from the past also.Refers to the genus of cattle and sheep.No post, fat from the back also. Zhuang Kuiji said: Refers to the fat that should be used, see the note in "Zhou Li", the so-called "grease with horns, ointment without horns" is also true.And Wang Su's "Family Language" notes and quotes this book, which is being written as fat. The school of Zhuang has done a thorough review, but the theory of "no predecessor" and "no future" is not easy to explain.Shuya school said: Zhuang school is also. "Yu Lan" eight hundred and sixty-four, under Zhiyoutiao, eight hundred and ninety-nine, cited under Niu Tiao, refers to and makes fat, which is its corroboration.There is no past and no future, and righteousness cannot be communicated. "Wu" is suspected to be "Dui", but it was originally mistaken as "Wu", and it was written as "Wu". The eight hundred and ninety-nine citations of "Yu Lan", which is the proof of this, is that "the hogs and horses belong to the front small, and the cattle and sheep are small behind".When the front is small, it is the front, and when the back is small, it is the back. (Volume 4, page 9. Duijijinrui characters) This article is inaccurate, and it is really the so-called one who comes from behind. Class books are inexhaustible, and people close to them can say it.Shu Ya proofreads this book, and it adopts similar books, and there is a law. If the eight hundred and ninety-nine chapters of "Yu Lan" quoted above, the original text and the long-lost ancient annotations are quoted, it goes without saying that it can be based on it.The other article is seen again or three times but differs from each other, or each book quotes the same article but is different from each other, or only seen once but slightly different from the present, the difference, although very subtle, must coexist. For the examination of future generations.Its intentions are very thick, and there are indeed helpers who can be explained.For example, "Shuo Lin Xun" says: If a rabbit walks and a dog is like a horse, it will return to the wind every day.Even if it is a horse, it cannot walk. Sun Yirang corrected this sentence, saying that "returning what should be left behind is also a mistake in the sound"; it is conjecture and cannot be denied.Shu Ya quoted nine hundred and ninety-nine quotations from "Yu Lan", writing: If a rabbit walks, make it as big as a horse, and chase the wind every day.If it is a horse, it will not go away. There is no need to correct Sun’s theory, but the reason why this sentence is suspicious is not because the character for “gui” is “yi” or “chasing”, but whether the word for “dog” should be “big”.The key to proofreading books is that there are many ancient books; many books imply changes, and those that have not been paid attention to are all squeezed out today.The "Dui" in the above article and the "Da" in this article are both examples. In Shuya's book, readers can tell the difference between the long and diligent use of force and the strictness and prudence of his method.However, there is one thing that I still regret, that is, Qian Yizhi's "Dialect Notes" has not been adopted, and it is true. Although the "Book of Huainan Wang" is heavily modified, there are many Qin and Han dialects in it, which can be interviewed by archaeologists.For example, on the first page of the opening book, "滒 is very nao", Gao's annotation said, "滒, also nao. The man who eats a lot of porridge is called Fu. Fu reads the songs of praise." Zhuang Kuiji quoted "Shuowen" "滒, juicy too" to prove it, it is also.In today's Huizhou dialect, profuse sweating is called "nao", and porridge with heavy porridge is called "nao porridge";Another example is "Zhushu Xun" which says: "The deaf can make their tendons, but they can't make them hear." Both Wang Shaolan and Sun Yirang quoted the sentences of "bow people" and "weak tendons" in "Kao Gong Ji".Zheng Sinong noted "chew it when it is cooked".Sun also quoted Jia Shu as "chewing and chewing the vertebrae of the tendons, wanting to get tired", saying that "chewing the tendons" is a common saying in Han Dynasty, that is, hitting the vertebrae to make them soft and ripe, and using the reins of the bow and crossbow (volume 9 of this book, page 12).People in Jixi, Huizhou today talk a lot but are ignorant. They say "chew the tendons of the bow", or "chew the tendons of the bow blindly".All these and the like can be mutually proved by the present and the past.Although Qian Yi's compilation is not as good as today's dialects, he quotes the words from this book and juxtaposes them with the old dialects, and often invents many of them, and it seems that they cannot be discarded.
