Thinking about it, the speed of his footsteps did not slow down at all, and he quickly entered the bookcase. There were several bookcases displaying many books, but most of these books were stored using bamboo slips as carriers. Yu Yi I casually untied a few bamboo slips and found that the fonts inside had already faded.
"Humph, are you kidding me?"
Yu Yi continued to browse and found that some bamboo slips even broke when touched, which was exactly what he had expected before. The library is just a form and is not practical at all in tombs. The contents of the book should still be passed down by descendants. , you must know that humans have known that fire cannot be touched since ancient times, and this has been passed down from generation to generation.
After flipping through most of the bamboo slips in front of the bookcase, Yu Yi gradually lost his patience. The library space was not large, and was composed of large bookshelves with three sides. These bookshelves were filled with bamboo slips. If there was no content inside, then Yu Yi would not be able to read it. It loses the value of staying.
Yuyi was about to turn around and leave, looking for the next exit. When he turned back, he suddenly noticed that the middle bookshelf seemed a little different from the other two bookshelves, with an extra handle.
He quickly returned, looked carefully, and tried to push the handle.
Sure enough, the bookshelf in the middle actually moved back, and the bookshelves on both sides moved closer to each other. Yuyi was afraid of what the mechanism was, and quickly concentrated on preparing to deal with any emergencies.
The movement of the bookshelf was obviously accompanied by the sound of the rotating gears. The moving structure of the middle bookshelf and the bookshelf on both sides formed an entrance. This entrance was so small that Yu Yi had to squat to pass through.
The unexpected surprise rekindled Yuyi's hope. He fumbled at the entrance, and after confirming that there were no other mechanisms, he crawled in and walked forward slowly.
This library is small on the surface, but in fact the internal structure is very large. A long and narrow secret passage leads deep into the library. The handle on the bookshelf in the middle is so conspicuous that it seems to have been deliberately placed by the owner of the tomb. The purpose is to attract people inside.
Yuyi followed the secret passage and entered a closed space, which was filled with bright gold and jewelry. If a person without determination, he might have pounced on it, slept on it, and experienced the wealth of an unparalleled country. pleasure.
Gold and jewelry are naturally attractive to Yuyi, but what attracts Yuyi even more is another thing next to it, which is a book.
Yuyi walked to the book and flipped through it. This book was different from the bamboo slips outside. The texture was very good, and the writing inside was clearly visible. The most important thing was that it had a lot of content, but it was reduced to a very small thing. The top is like a folded laptop. It looks small from a distance, but when it is really unfolded, the area is huge.
This book attracts Yu Yi. In addition to its special medium, the more important thing is the title. It is a masterpiece handed down by Lu Buwei to future generations, "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals".
As someone who spent time in the library during college, the origin of this book is not that mysterious.
"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" is a masterpiece of Huang Lao Taoism compiled by disciples under the auspices of Qin State Prime Minister Lu Buwei. It was written on the eve of Qin Shihuang's unification of China. This book takes Confucianism as its main body, Taoism theory as its basis, and Ming, Dharma, Mohism, Nong, Bing, and Yin-Yang schools of thought as its material. It integrates the theories of hundreds of schools of thought into one furnace, shining with the light of profound and profound wisdom. Lu Buwei wanted to use this as the ideology after unification. However, Qin Shihuang, who later came to power, chose Legalist thought, which frustrated all schools of thought, including Taoism. "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" is a masterpiece of pre-Qin Taoism. It is divided into 26 volumes, 160 chapters, and more than 200,000 words.
As a comprehensive work composed of the Twelve Chronicles, Eight Readings, and Six Treatises, it focuses on learning from various schools of thought, with Taoism as the main body, and also draws on the theories of Yin and Yang, Confucianism, Confucianism, Mingfa, and military and peasant schools. But the main tenet belongs to Taoism. Therefore, "Hanshu·Yiwenzhi" and others listed it in the Miscellaneous Book. Gao You said in "Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals" that "the book upholds morality as its goal and inaction as its guideline." This shows that the earliest annotators had already pointed out the characteristics of Taoism as the leading thought in "Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals".
As the Qin Dynasty advocated force, it was good to have a person like Lu Buwei. Unfortunately, the later Qin Dynasty adopted the idea of making a fortune. The entire country was completely punished and the law was strict. Everything was done in accordance with the law. There was no respect for human feelings, and even the smallest things were punished. It was outrageous to behead and cut off the nose, and the people were miserable. Even Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who were the peasant uprisings in the late Qin Dynasty, were forced to rebel.
Under "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", Yu Yi found a passage, which was noted at the back of the book and should have been written by the author Lu Buwei.
The Qin State is so powerful, but it is rich in martial arts and weak in literature. Now Wei has Lord Xinling, Chu has Lord Chunshen, Zhao has Lord Pingyuan, and Qi has Lord Mengchang. They all treat virtuous people and make friends with guests. In the long run, they will surely make their country prosperous and strong. . So I also recruited some bachelors of letters and gave them generous treatment. There were as many as 3,000 followers. I did not recruit them to expand my own power, but for our country. The form of my recruitment was different from that of the Fourth Young Master. , do not value their bravery, but attach great importance to literary talent, and often hold debates, just to compete in this aspect.
Not valuing bravery does not mean looking down on those mighty generals, because our Qin State currently has so many mighty generals and lacks men of letters and scholars that there is no need to recruit more warriors. Moreover, those who are good at planning and making judgments have written books and spread them widely, causing The influence is very great. Not only can it be famous all over the world, but it can also be passed down to future generations and go down in history forever.
Although I was born as a businessman, I cannot write books and establish a school by myself, but I can rely on their strength, use everyone's wisdom, and learn about the strengths of everyone to realize my ideals and ambitions. This will be a very meaningful thing. matter.
However, the revelation of Zhao Ji's affair made the First Emperor very dissatisfied with me. I could foresee that he would order my execution in the near future, so I took the elixir purchased from the Western Regions when I was doing business, and faked my death. , I moved some trustworthy disciples underground. Above, I only left part of "Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals". Below, I made alchemy every day and gathered disciples to continue writing together.
Seeing this, Yu Yi finally understood some historical doubts. It is said that after Lu Buwei completed the book, he placed the book in the city for people to read and made an offer. If anyone could change a word, he would be rewarded with thousands of gold. So there is an idiom. , This is how a word of gold comes. In fact, the books left behind are always incomplete. If it were not for visiting this tomb, Yu Yi would not know that "Lu's Spring and Autumn" has been continued.
In the tomb, I kept collecting the thoughts and things I saw and heard from those who could write the article, and they all respected my wishes. When the article was handed in, it could be said that there were all kinds of opinions, from ancient times to the present, up and down. The four directions, heaven and earth, all things, rise and fall, governance of chaos, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, three religions and nine streams are all discussed, and many articles are repeated.
It takes a lot of effort to integrate these things. Fortunately, among the disciples I brought over, there are some masters of writing articles. They screened, classified, and deleted these articles, and combined them into a book, which is "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals". ", this book can be said to be my masterpiece. It is a wonderful book that boasts of "heaven and earth, all things, ancient and modern".
