1 of the 21st year of Kangxi (1682)
Chen Menglei was exiled to Fengtian for the crime of rebellion. In the 37th year of Kangxi (1698), Emperor Kangxi was able to go back to serve the third prince, Prince Cheng Yinzhi, to study.
During this period of pleasure, Chen Mengli compiled the book "Book Collection" based on the "Xieyitang" collection and the family's collection of more than 15,000 volumes of classics, history, science and collections, which took four and a half years (1701-1706).
"Muying hand inspection, no morning and evening", there are 10,000 volumes, forty volumes in the catalog, divided into six "compilations" of the calendar, Xiang, Fangyu, Minglun, Natural History, Science, and Economics, and each compilation is divided into several syllabuses, a total of 32 syllabuses, and each syllabus is divided into several syllabuses, a total of 6117 "syllabus". The initial version of
html has 5,020 large volumes, more than 500,000 pages, 170,000 words, and more than 1,000 pictures. The cited bibliography has reached more than 6,000, and 576 letters are packaged. It is the largest existing book.The first draft was completed in April of the 45th year of Kangxi, and "the catalog of predecessors and all the rules are presented in one volume." After reading the imperial examination, Kangxi believed that it still needed to revise the gain, so he changed the title of the book "Comprehensive Books of Ancient and Modern Times".
In the 61st year of Kangxi (1722), Kangxi passed away. In the first year of Yongzheng (1723), he ordered the Jingyan Lecturer and Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Jiang Tingxi (1669-1732) to re-edit and edit the "Comprehensive Books of Ancient and Modern Times". Jiang rewrites Chen's name as his own. The "Comprehensive Books of Ancient and Modern Times·Ministry of Medicine" he recompiled a total of 520 volumes of medical books, collected works by famous doctors of all dynasties, and classified them into categories. It was the highest among traditional Chinese medicine books and was completed in the sixth year of Yongzheng.
in Volume 2 of "Songheshanfang Collection": "All people who are in the six hemispheres, and those who are in the thirteen classics and twenty-one histories have no words left behind. Those who are in the collection of the five histories have only deleted one or two." Zhang Tingyu, an important official of the Qing Dynasty, commented: "Since the creation of the book, a book has been connected through ancient and modern times, and has been included in all things, and has never been like the "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books" of our dynasty." Chinese and foreign scholars praised it as the "Kangxi Encyclopedia", which is about 5 times the number of words that is "Encyclopedia of Great Britain", and is second only to Wikipedia (more than 15 times that of the Encyclopedia of Britannia).
After this book was compiled, it was printed in 64 pieces by the Qing Dynasty in the fourth to sixth year of Yongzheng (1726 to 1728) with copper movable characters (one set of samples for trial printing) and was called the "copper character version". Only more than ten pieces remain so far, and they are collected in the National Library and the Palace Museum in Taiwan.
Since the tenth year of Guangxu (1884), the "Book Integration Library" was established, and 1,500 pieces were printed with No. 3 flat characters, called "lead type book" or "flat type book", and were printed four years later.
In the 20th year of Guangxu (1894), Emperor Guangxu ordered the Shanghai Tongwen Bookstore to lithograph 100 pieces, called the "Tongwen Edition" or "Guangxu Edition". This version is accompanied by 24 volumes of "Research" written by Long Jidong of the Qing Dynasty, and corrected about 20,000 citations in the original book. The books were used to donate foreign or reward ministers by the Qing government, which consumed a total of 500,000 taels of silver. This version is rarely circulated due to the fire of 50 sets of books stored in Shanghai warehouses.
Another la carte in the late Qing Dynasty was 10,000 taels of silver.
In the 23rd year of the Republic of China (1934), Shanghai Zhonghua Book Company was bound and bound by 808 volumes of the shrink-printed line photocopy of the Yongzheng bronze movable type book collected by Kang Youwei (the last 8 volumes are verified), called the "Chinese version". It was released in 1940 and is the most popular version to date.
Since 1986, Zhonghua Book Company has cooperated with Bashu Book Company to re-copied and modified it into 121 volumes according to the reduced printing of Zhonghua Book Company, and added a new volume of "Concise Index".
In 2006, Qilu Bookstore, mainland China, cooperated with the National Library to copy the original large and small version of the Yongzheng bronze character version in the collection, and 50 sets of hand-lined lines were published, priced at 490,000 yuan.
Since 1999, the book was made in Taiwan with the electronic version of Yongzheng's bronze letter (the book collection of the Palace Museum) (the Chinese Department of Soochow University) as a model. Related books and research collections were also published, such as "Research on the Integrated Books of Ancient and Modern" published in November 2001 and "Research on the Integrated Books of Ancient and Modern" published in November 2006.
