It has to be said that in preserving cultural relics, especially protecting the Han culture in the Central Plains, the Japanese people are much better than us.

But this does not mean that Japanese people are better than us, and there are objective reasons for this.

As soon as Xu Fu passed east, Japan began to come into contact with Han culture. During the Tang Dynasty, when he fought with the Central Plains, Japan was completely defeated and changed from being alert to Han culture.

In the next thousand years, whether it is stealing or asking, I spared no effort to transport all kinds of ancient books and talents from the Central Plains to Japan.

In addition, Japan is already alone overseas, and every piece of paper and ink has to cross the vast ocean. It is difficult to get, so it must be cherished very much.

Secondly, it is the reason for the Han people themselves.

Our nation has many disasters and has never stopped fighting both internally and externally, and war is the biggest natural enemy of culture.

From the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the late Han Dynasty to the unification of the world in the early Tang Dynasty, more than 400 years of war. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms at the end of the Tang Dynasty were strangled by one another for a hundred years. Countless great works of ancestors were all destroyed by war.

For example, Hua Tuo only has half of the medical book "Qingnang Jing".

The "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" by the Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing was also a pieced together by later generations from the folk oral narratives, and has long been lost.

Even the Book of Shu, one of the Four Confucian Books and Five Classics, is a fake, and the original book is not there.

besides:

The great work of the Tang Dynasty, "The Essentials of the Collected Books", the political scriptures of the Former Qin Dynasty, and the strange chapters of the ancient "Huangdi Foreign Classic".

There are three volumes of the Book of Changes, which are the source of all scriptures, but only the Book of Changes is left. Xia's "Lianshan" and Shang's "Guizang" have become doubts throughout the ages.

Later generations said that China had no music in ancient times because the "Music Sutra" passed down from generation to generation was lost.

To sum up, our nation has developed a tenacious character in the history of war for thousands of years, but has also lost too much in the history of war for thousands of years.

The third and most important point is that many things that have been preserved in Japan are the cultures we eliminated.

That's right, eliminate!

"The Book of Changes·Xicixia" says: If you are poor, you will change; if you change, you will be smooth; if you are smooth, you will be long.

Translation: Things develop to the extreme, and they need to change and change before they can continue to develop.

Confucianism, which is labeled as a stereotype, also has the teachings of Confucius: the wise are happy with water.

A wise person should know how to adapt like water.

then:

The "Eight Foot" that was too difficult was replaced by a flute.

The "lacquerware" that consumes money and labor was replaced by porcelain.

The "matcha" that became powdered by niang tea was replaced by clear tea.

The "Kabukicho" that fueled luxury was abandoned.

The "sumo wrestling" with no practical significance was abandoned.

Of course, it also includes sushi from fish sashimi and samurai sword from Tang Zhidao.

......

And these eventually became iconic cultures of Japan.

During the period when the Central Plains was weak and ravaged by all nations, it even surpassed the Han culture and became a symbol of Asian culture.

Of course, this is not sourness, nor is it that Zhao Wei wants to burn it, and it does not leave it to Japan's slightest source.

In fact, you learn it and learn it. It doesn’t matter. Later Chinese people wish that the whole world would speak Chinese, use chopsticks, and face Chinese culture.

Even if you say it is yours, that's fine! Who told us to don't want it?

It was passed down by someone, and it was someone else's ability. I can only blame myself for being unsuccessful, and at most I feel a little uncomfortable.

But if you take it away, you say it’s yours, and finally say that the ancestors of our whole family are all you inherit, that’s too much.

Later Japanese academic circles shouted: "There is no China after Yashan, and there is no Huaxia after the fall of the Ming Dynasty." The orthodox learning Chinese culture is in Japan.

This is all I don’t want to see my face!

It’s like two neighbors, one is poor and the other is rich. If the rich family has a piece of land that is not good to harvest, they will let the poor family take it to plant it. Over time, the land will become the poor family.

Many years have passed, and the feng shui has changed, and the poor have become rich, and the rich have become poor.

At this time, the poor family who became rich said, "All the land in your house belongs to mine! If you don't believe it, look at the land. It used to belong to your house, but later it belongs to me, so everything in your house belongs to mine.

Because this land of your ancestors is in my hands, I am the legal heir of your ancestors."

What's the truth about this?

Don’t think it’s ridiculous. This is the underlying logic of Japan’s invasion of China in later generations, and it is orthodox propaganda wrapped in ambitions.

And where is the fulcrum of this absurd logic? It is this Kanazawa Library!

This contains all the cultural heritages that Japan has transported from the Central Plains from more than a thousand years since Xu Fu's crossing east. A considerable number of ancient books have been lost in the Central Plains.

Therefore, in a few hundred years, Japanese people will take these ancient books and cultures that we have lost:

"This land was passed down to me by your ancestors, so I am your ancestor, and China should be mine!"

With Zhao Wei's temper and character, what are you waiting for if you don't burn it? It's broken down from the bottom of it.

However, he did not expect that this would not only cut off the root of Japan's disaster to China in later generations, but also uproot the root of Japan's efforts for thousands of years, but also the development of the next thousand years.

Japanese culture is a derivative of Han culture. If you burn all these ancient books, he will be a big deal!

No wonder Hojo Toshizo attaches so much importance to Kanazawa, and no wonder he didn't tell Zhao Wei what was there.

This is a hundred times more expensive than Ishikawa's knife craftsman!

Fortunately, Mr. Dieshan became more thoughtful and thought that Buddhist scriptures were not trustworthy. There must be something unsimple here. He was afraid that Zhao Wei, a reckless man, would not understand, so he followed him.

As a result, he really hit him.

"Transport to Fusang!" Mr. Dieshan was extremely excited, "It must be transported to Fusang!!"

Zhao Wei was speechless, "Sir, we only have twenty boats, and there are more than eight thousand craftsmen!"

That's right, Boyan asked him to choose whatever he wanted, but Zhao Wei was not polite at all. Except for the knife maker, the other craftsmen who made weapons robbed another 5,000, which were the most scarce jobs in the Song Dynasty in the Americas.

Mr. Dieshan was extremely determined, "Even if the craftsmen don't want them, there must be no book in this library!"

Zhao Wei: "..."

Xie Dieshan stomped his feet in anger, "What do you know, you silly? These books are much more precious than ten Xie Dieshan and ten Wen Tianxiang. This is our root!"

Mr. Dieshan had just read it. Among them, there are not only the Tang version of "Quanshu Zhiyao", but also the Qin bamboo slips of "Shangjun Shu" brought to Japan by Xu Fu, and even the half of "Lianshan Yi" written on a parchment scroll.

Although I don’t know the truth or falsehood, my age is far away and my value is incalculable.

Moreover, this was seen by the gentleman only a short distance after entering the door.

No one can tell how many treasures are hidden in this Kanazawa library.

As a famous scholar of the generation, Xie Dieshan knew the value of these ancient books to the Song Dynasty.

"You must transport it back! Even if you throw me here, you must transport it back!"

"Okay, okay." Zhao Wei nodded, "Don't be excited, luck, luck! Is it okay?"

But the problem is, how can we luck?

If it were a bunch of long-legged living people, it would be fine, and it would be over as soon as they rushed to the boat.

This is a book worth more than 100,000 copies, which can hold several ships. It is an ancient book, and some of it will be broken when you touch it. Be careful to load the ship, but you have to hold it for seven or eight days.

You know, the Mongolian army is outside, and Boyan is watching, can he see so many things being transported away?

In the end, Zhao Wei had no choice but to let Wang Sheng and Ma Erye carry a big knife and guard outside the library.

It is claimed to be something that Mr. Dieshan likes, and he dares to step closer and kill him.

It is still very useful to move Mr. Dieshan out. After all, he is a celebrity around Kublai Khan, and ordinary people dare not get close to him.

However, Boyan was curious in his heart. Xie Dieshan, a literati, never participated in their robbery and killing, so why was he greedy?

When I went to Honanji, I saw that it was OK, no wonder that there were books in it, and the gentleman was picking it out of my own way!

After all, Boyan was a military general and had no interest in these old books. In addition, he had previously owed Xie Dieshan a favor, and now it was time to repay his kindness.

With a wave of his hand, "Sir, just pull it away!"

Zhao Wei was beside him, "Is this appropriate? Then the prime minister has to allocate a few boats!"

Well, this guy is shameless and Guan Boyan wants a boat.

Boyan was indecisive, "What's the difficulty? Is it enough to turn around and take my hand to transfer five grain ships from Yokosuka?"

Zhao Wei: "Ten ships! These are all ancient books, which are easy to crush... Besides, if you encounter the gods and winds..."

"Then ten ships!"

Boyan was very generous, "Then the marquis will accompany the gentleman to move slowly."

After saying that, he left. He also ordered the soldiers in the army not to come to the back mountain to disturb the gentleman.
