Its text is: Say: If you smell it. For many years, doctors from all over the world have not only been full of talents, but also entrusted to choose, which is not conducive to politics, but also beneficial to the people. Now, it can't be more natural. We must teach the living three classics and the living three histories; Doctors include Tai Su, A and B, Pulse Meridian and Materia Medica; Su Wen, Needle Sutra, Tang Ming and Pulse Decision written by Zhen Sheng; Astronomers' Tian Guan Shu, Han and Jin Dynasties' Tian Wen Zhi, Tri-color Book Praise and Hanyang Yao Ji; The Book of Changes, A New Book of Yin and Yang, A Brief Introduction to the Golden Chamber of Huangdi, and Justice of Yin and Yang and Five Elements; Students should be assigned to calculate Li Zhi, Dayan Liyi, Nine Chapters and Six Chapters, Zhou Xie and Ding Tian Lun.
The Five Elements of Justice mentioned in Tianpingbaozi Year (757) is obviously the earliest edition in Japan (hereinafter referred to as Tianpingben), and it may also be the one closest to Xiao Ji's unpublished manuscript, which has had a far-reaching influence on the religious thought and academic culture after the Heian period (794 ~ 1 192) in Japan. The Japanese Book Catalogue was written by Emperor Yuduo Kuanping in three to nine years (89 1 ~ 897). 17 recorded 9 19 volumes of China's "five elements" books in the 36th category, including "one of the meanings of the five elements" (the author was not mentioned). "One" refers to one volume and one volume (for example, The Five Elements of Justice in Changzhou Sage Series is five volumes and one volume), and it should also refer to the balance book. At that time, Japanese aristocrats, monks and politicians were popular to extract sentences directly from the five elements of justice as the authoritative basis for politics, viewing things, keeping in good health, dressing up, medical care, etiquette and ceremony. After painstaking efforts, Shohachi Nakamura searched for traces of justice in the five elements in many Japanese ancient books and found many clues. For example, there is a record of "Nine Chapters of Xiao Ji" in Liao dialect of Yin and Yang in the seventeenth year of Qing Zhenguan (875) in the early period of Ping 'an. There are four quotations from Five Elements of Justice in Kanyuan's Guan Li Copy (written in 90 1 ~ 930). Prince Ju Ping's book Hong Jue Wai Dian (written in 99 1) contains twelve quotations. There are four quotations and important plays in Wei Zongyunliang's "A Brief Introduction to Political Affairs" (written in the period of Andi, 986 ~101). There is a quotation in Beishan Copy written by China poet Gonggong Fujiwara (966 ~ 104 1). In the later period of Ping 'an, in Lai Changxing Fujiwara's diary (1120 ~1156), there are many records that he read and quoted the five elements of justice. Entering the Kamakura era (1192 ~1331), the scope of quoting the five elements of justice has been expanded, such as "Bamboo Island Papers" (series of the last years of peace, a group of books and thunder) with eight quotations; There are seven quotations in Shaman Xinrui's Pure land three Classic Collection of Sound and Meaning (Dazheng Newly-revised Tripitaka); There is a quotation in Su Ji's Zi Ming Copy (Cabinet Library); There are three quotations in "Notes on Doctor's Thousand Words" (the continuation of this book); There is a quotation in He Mao's Collection of Questions and Answers in the Calendar (a set of this book); The Secret Biography of the auspicious day test (the continuation of this book) has three quotations; There are four quotations in the manuscript of The Source of Body (the complete classical works) written by Qiu Tong in Fengyuan, and so on. From the late Kamakura period to the Southern and Northern Dynasties (133 1 ~ 1392), two aristocratic groups, Sugawara and Fujiwara, even competed to use the sentences in Five Elements of Justice as an important means of political struggle. For example, Sugawara put forward the title of "long life" according to the sentence "Guo Ping, Changle has nothing to do" in Five Elements of Justice, while Fujiwara put forward the title of "long life" according to the sentence "Shun Tian, long life" in Five Elements of Justice. According to documents such as Mi Yuan Copy, Yuan Gai Bu Lei (Imperial Palace Hall and Mausoleum Department), from the first year of Changqing's reign (13 1 1), this struggle occurred 15 times. The balance of the original appraisal 18 has been lost, but a series of manuscripts have been derived in the process of circulation. The most important of these are the following four books:
First, Justin handed down five volumes (referred to as "Yuan Hongben");
Two or five volumes of astronomical manuscripts (referred to as "astronomical texts");
Third, there is only the fifth volume of Koyasan's "Old Sanbao Courtyard" (referred to as "Gaoye Book");
Fourthly, the old Ling Bao library books (Ling Bao books for short) only exist in the second half of the fifth volume.
Japanese Five Elements of Justice produced 65,438+00 kinds of major manuscripts and periodicals in its dissemination process, such as Tian Ping, Justin, Jin Guo, Tian Wen, Yangming, BBK, Takano, Ling Bao, Lu Yuan and Yicun. Among them, The Balance Book, which is the closest to Xiao Ji's book, and therefore has the highest edition value, has been lost. Other versions have their own advantages and can be used for reference. The lost version of Yuan Hongben system is the most influential in China cultural circle. According to the order of Tokugawa shogunate at that time, the lost book series was specially sent to China. The existing versions of Five Elements of Justice in China are all based on the lost manuscripts.
The last time China officially recorded the justice of the Five Elements was the History of Song Dynasty and the Records of Arts and Literature, and the time was between 1343 and 1345. After that, the five elements of justice disappeared. It was not until19th century that the Japanese lost book series entered China that people rediscovered the great value of this precious ancient book which had been separated from their homeland for 460 years, and made a quick response.
In the 9th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1804), Xu Zongyan in Deqing republished the Five Elements Justice (Fantang) in five volumes according to the lost edition, which was the first time that China people officially published this book since Song Zhi recorded the Five Elements Justice. At this time, it was only five years before the publication of The Lost Book series. Xu's "Xu Lu" said:
Tang Zhi and Xiao Ji's Five Elements and Five Volumes; The five volumes of Five Elements of Justice written by Song Zhi and Xiao Ji are not recorded by bibliophiles. Recently, the Lost Series engraved by Chinese people was printed in movable type, which made many mistakes. According to the proofreading of Zongyan, if you change the number of crosses, the rest will remain the same. Once you know, don't read it. ? The book "Official Collection" is concise, salty and organized; The secret is in the simple, and many generations hope to die. Pushing the number of five elements is in line with date, rhythm, temperament and life, not support, but commitment. Although involved in Tianjin, but do not explore the mystery, do not explore the Olympic trace, smooth sailing on the avenue; Learning from what artists have recited is far away, so how can it be handed down from far away without a clue?
Jiaqing edition is based on the lost version, and the layout is roughly the same as that of the lost version. Although he claimed to be "changing the cross number", there were actually as many as 407.
In the 12th year of Jiaqing (1807), Ruan Yuan compiled Wan Wei Biezang, which was submitted. There are *** 174 kinds of manuscripts, including five volumes of Five Elements of Meaning written by Sui, and the total title is "Lost Series" in Japanese. According to Ruan Yuan's "No Collection of Books", Volume 22 says:
This is Japanese relief printing. Before the order, he said, "Learn the classics, search the poor and simplify the family, and talk about righteousness every 24 paragraphs." Don't divide it into forty segments. Twenty-four, the number of sections; A total of forty people, the number of five elements "at such a time. ? Reading his book today, the meaning is very simple, quoting classics. And there are many secrets of losing one's virginity, especially after the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
According to the bibliography of rare books in the Forbidden City, there are 65,438+060 species in Wan Wei, hall of mental cultivation (there are two in the book, 65,438+060 species in the book, * * *, of which 65,438+057 species were imported by Ruan Yuan, which is inconsistent with the records of various scholars and some of them are doubtful); However, in the 24th year of the Republic of China (1935), when the editors of the Palace Museum and Shanghai Commercial Press photocopied and published 40 kinds of "Choose Printing but Don't Accept", the book "Five Elements of Justice" had been handed down from generation to generation, so it was not included. 23 1988, Jiangsu ancient books publishing house photocopied Wan Wei Biezang 120 volumes according to the original catalogue, and included the 70th volume of Five Elements of Justice. According to the author's investigation, "Wan Wei Bieji" is completely consistent with the lost version, and it has not been collated, so it should not be regarded as an independent version. Of course, when investigating the spread of the Five Elements Theory in China, Ruan Yuan's positive introduction of the Five Elements Theory with his position as a literary authority is still very meaningful. Under his advocacy, the influence of justice of the five elements expanded rapidly. At the same time as Xu Zongyan and Ruan Yuan, Sun Xingyan's "You Hao Si Xue" contains "five elements of meaning"; 24 "Xu Gu" volume 11 "Preface", then "Sui Wuxing Yi Preface (Japanese Edition)" was solemnly recommended as a model of ancient Chinese prose. 25
In the 18th year of Jiaqing (18 13), Bao Tingbo of Shexian county compiled a series of "Knowing the Deficiency", which collected the five elements of justice in the 26th episode. This is the second time that China has officially published and printed "Five Elements of Justice" since Jiaqing Edition came out. Bao wrote a brief postscript at the back of the book:
The meaning of the five elements of Sui Dynasty has long been lost. Xu Shi, near Deqing, was published in the Japanese "One Village Series", but it did not spread widely. Catalpa is popular with the public because of its long life.
According to Yan Yiping's "Hundred Series of Photocopy Notes", "If you don't know enough, you will have to supplement it", which shows that the original version used in the insufficient version is still a lost version. The progress of its version is reflected in another revision of the original version, and * * * has 24 more places than Jiaqing version. Because there are a lot of books about the lack of knowledge in Five Elements of Justice, it has a wide and profound influence on academic circles, especially on the textual research of documents in Qing Dynasty and modern times. Besides Chen Qiaozong's Shu Zheng of Qi Shi Yi Xue and Sun Yirang's Miscellaneous Qi, Yi Xun Shi, Zhao Zaihan's Qi Wei, Shu Kao of Art, Chen Li's White Tiger Zheng, Bu Zhu and Wang Taigong were also published.
In the eighth year of Guangxu (1882), The Lost Series of Japan was published by Huang in Shanghai. In the twenty-third year of Guangxu (1897), Sheng Xuanhuai compiled the Suicide Letter of Changzhou Philosopher, and in the first part, he included the Five Elements of Justice (Changzhou edition for short). Sheng's postscript said:
