1980 My literary era

"Jin Ping Mei" is a strange book, but it has been controversial since its birth. It has always been banned by rulers, even in the open-minded Republic of China.

But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this novel was published.

In 1957, with the approval of the elders, the Chinese Literature Society reprinted 2,000 sets of the "Newly Engraved Poems on the Plum in the Golden Lotus" that had been photocopied with funds raised by the Yanjing Ancient Novel Publishing Association in 1933, under the name of "Literature and Ancient Books Publishing House". The photocopied version of "Newly Engraved Poems on the Plum in the Golden Ping" consists of two volumes and twenty-one volumes, including twenty volumes of text and one volume of 200 illustrations.

The so-called "Han" refers to a letter set, which refers to the way of packaging ancient books with letters.

Letter sleeves are usually made of straw paper on the inside and cloth on the outside. They can be used to protect ancient books and contain the entire book.

The "Newly Engraved Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua" published by Guowenshe is a four-in-one set, that is, the letter set wraps around the front cover, back cover, spine, and edge of the book. In addition to this packaging method, the letter set also has a "six-in-one set" that wraps around six sides of the book. " and the "cloud-shaped sleeve" which is shaped like a cloud ring at the opening of the letter.

The price of this set of "Newly Engraved Poems on the Plum in the Jin Ping" was 40 yuan in the year of its release. It is aimed at a very narrow group of readers. There are three conditions for buyers: 1. Be over 45 years old; 2. Be married; 3. The requirements must be Senior S officials, deputy secretaries of each province, and chief and deputy B chiefs of the same level.

Each book is numbered and must be registered when purchasing. Therefore, this version of "Jin Ping Mei" is also called the "Minister's Edition".

The Chinese Publishing House is also the only publishing organization in the country that can publish and distribute "Jin Ping Mei".

In 1985, the Chinese Publishing House published an abridged version of "Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua". This version of "Jin Ping Mei" was also called the "clean version".

According to statistics, a total of 19,184 words of relevant descriptive text in the original text have been deleted from the clean version of "Jin Ping Mei".

But even if it is a "clean version", the Chinese Literature Society is still very strict about the distribution of this novel. Nationwide, only provincial and municipal cadres, members of the National Literary Association and classical literature workers can purchase it with vouchers and cards. .

In 1988, the higher authorities suddenly granted the publishing rights of the clean version of "Jin Ping Mei" to Qilu Publishing House in Ludong, and the Humanities Society's version was not allowed to be reprinted.

Accordingly, Qilu Publishing House published an uncensored "Huixue Edition" of "New Carvings of Embroidered Portraits Criticizing the Jin Ping Mei". Cheng Wuchun angrily discovered the above theory.

You said that the publishing rights of the clean version should be given to other publishers, and we have no problem with it, but this clean version suddenly turned into an unedited version, which is a bit unreasonable.

The clean version published by Guowenshe is abridged from the script and has many outstanding features compared to Zhang Zhupo's commentary version of "New Carved Embroidered Portraits Criticizing the Plum in the Golden Lotus". Since Qilu Bookstore is allowed to publish the proofread version, there is no reason to prohibit Guowenshe from publishing the clean version. .

At the end of the day, the superiors were somewhat unreasonable, and finally agreed to the Chinese Publishing House to continue publishing.

Over the years, many classical literature experts and scholars have been hoping that the Chinese Literature Society would reprint "Newly Engraved Poems on the Plum Blossom in the Golden Lotus", but the Chinese Literature Society only reprinted it once in 1988, and then again this year, and a new one last month. "Newly Engraved Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua" is only published internally, and can only be purchased by researchers. The price is 420 yuan.

Wang Shuo and Jiang Wen, two contestants who had never seen the unabridged version, got angry when they boasted and called each other bragging. In the end, in order to compete, the two agreed that who could produce the unabridged version of "The New Movie" first? The other person had to shout "I am a big idiot" three times in front of the whole crew.

After hearing Wang Shuo's words, Lin Weimin couldn't help but shook his head, "You two are really full!"

"Don't worry about whether I'm full or not. You can sell me a set first." Wang Shuo said.

"No. Your level is not high enough. Now the restrictions on the sales of "Newly Engraved Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua" are not so strict, but at least you must be a cadre at the department or bureau level to be eligible to purchase it."

Wang Shuo said anxiously: "You are the editor-in-chief. Isn't this just a matter of your words? Don't think that I don't know. Everyone who buys books only needs your signature."

"What you inquired about is quite clear!"

"Nonsense, I want to buy a book, but I don't have to ask, do you understand? I beg you, buddy, to give me some face this time?" Wang Shuo begged.

Lin Weimin shook his head, "Everything else is easy to discuss, but this matter cannot be discussed."

"Newly Engraved Poems on the Plum in the Golden Lotus" is only published internally, and each set of books must be signed by Lin Weimin, the editor-in-chief of the Chinese Literature Society, before it can be sold.

Although this matter was within his scope of authority, he did not want to be selfish, so he rejected Wang Shuo's request without hesitation.

"Don't bother me. It's so cold that I finally come here..."

While Wang Shuo was begging, the phone at home rang again, and Lin Weimin answered it and it was Jiang Wen.

No need to think about it, it’s also about “Newly Engraved Words on the Plum in the Golden Lotus”.

In order to show off, these two people worked hard.

"Newly Engraved Poems on the Plum in the Golden Lotus" can only be published by the Chinese Literature Society in the country, and Lin Weimin is the chief editor of the Chinese Literature Society. Both of them thought of him invariably.

Lin Weimin rejected Jiang Wen in the same way, and Wang Shuo on the side breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter whether Lin Weimin can help him get "The New Words on the Plum in the Golden Lotus", as long as he doesn't help Jiang Wen get it.

After understanding this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat there, rolled his eyes, and said, "Are you at a high enough level to buy books now?"

"Don't try to influence me, that's all I do."

Lin Weimin has a hobby of collecting books, but the 1957 edition of "The New Words on the Plum Blossom in the Golden Vase" was not in circulation at all. In 1988, he was not up to the level. Only this time, he happened to be up to the level and caught up with the Chinese language. She Jia Yin just bought a set for myself.

"Can't I borrow it?"

Lin Weimin said speechlessly: "Are you two interesting?"

"Interesting, of course it's interesting. Last time the thief left me in the middle of the night, I have to find my way back this time." Wang Shuo said through gritted teeth.

"In a word, do you want to borrow it? If you don't, I won't be able to be my friend in the future, and I will cut off my ties with you!" Wang Shuo threatened Lin Weimin unreasonably in order to make Lin Weimin understand the seriousness of the matter.

Of course Lin Weimin would not take his threat to heart, but shook his head helplessly, "Okay, I think I'll come back in a few days."

Wang Shuo said: "Don't worry, I will send Jiang Wen back to you as soon as I finish taking care of that grandson."

Lin Weimin led Wang Shuo to the study room. Wang Shuo looked at the bookshelves on the four walls with a bit of envy in his eyes.

"You have at least five to six thousand books in your study, right?"

"I don't know. I haven't counted them."

Lin Weimin took down the two letters of "Newly Engraved Poems on the Plum in the Golden Lotus" from the bookshelf, "They are all here, I want to send them back as soon as possible."

"Don't worry." Wang Shuo agreed, holding the book in both hands.

Two letters, twenty-one volumes of "Newly Engraved Poems on the Plum in the Golden Vase", were not heavy at all, but because of the packaging, Wang Shuo felt a little uncomfortable holding it in his arms and shifted his position back and forth.

Lin Weimin's heart tightened, "Be careful, I belong to Hua Ling Jinhan."

"Newly Engraved Jin Ping Mei Ci" Bluebell flower brocade envelopes are common, but flower damask brocade envelopes are rare, so they are particularly precious.

Lin Weimin said he was worried and found a leather bag for Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo borrowed the book and went out confidently.

Han Zhuangzhuang approached Lin Weimin and said, "Uncle, is the "Jin Ping Mei" you told Wang Shuo so rare?"

"The abridged version is not rare, but the unabridged version is."

Han Zhuangzhuang said: "Then later, lend me your suit."

Lin Weimin looked at him without saying anything, and took out a set of "New Engraved Embroidery Portraits Criticizing the Plum in the Golden Lotus" by Qilu Publishing House from the study.

"Let's see."

Han Zhuangzhuang didn't expect Lin Weimin to give him the book so happily. He opened a book and looked at it. It was a traditional vertically arranged thread-bound book. He felt a little dizzy after just one glance.

It's okay to let him read a script, but it's really a bit difficult for him to read this thing.

Han Zhuangzhuang put down the book silently, and then gave Lin Weimin a resentful look.

Is this cultural humiliation?

Isn’t the cultural person amazing?

"Why are you looking at me? You want to read the book, and I gave it to you. Why don't you read it?"

Han Zhuangzhuang said depressedly: "Traditional Chinese characters are still arranged vertically, and I can't get used to it."

Lin Weimin shook his head, put the book back on the bookshelf, turned to Han Zhuangzhuang and said seriously: "I will teach you to be a good boy today. Some books are bought just to show off."

Han Zhuangzhuang suddenly understood, and at the same time he looked at his old uncle with a bit of contempt.

It turns out that you educated people also like to show off, but I thought you were so educated.

Lin Weimin looked at him and took out two more volumes of "Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua" from the bookshelf. This set of books was a clean version and was reprinted in 1989.

"This kind of book is for reading."

Han Zhuangzhuang took the book, flipped it over, and silently put it down again.

At first he thought he was just not used to reading traditional Chinese and vertically arranged thread-bound books, but now he finally realized that he just couldn't understand "Jin Ping Mei".

He flipped through the book again and saw the price on the back cover, which was forty yuan.

These publishing houses are too shady!

Feeling the naked cultural discrimination again, Han Zhuangzhuang depressedly put away the two volumes of books.

You’ve come here, you can’t come in vain, you can take it home and use it as table legs!

Two clean volumes of "Ci Hua on the Plum Blossom in the Jin Ping" were taken away by Han Zhuangzhuang, and Lin Weimin didn't take it to heart. He was about to leave the study when he suddenly thought of what Wang Shuo had just said.

"That thief Jiang Wen is busy painting the chimney!"

Just now I was just listening to Wang Shuo yelling and forgot about important things.

Jiang Wen, the grand thief, started to cause trouble again while he was away.

Lin Weimin confessed to Tao Huimin and went out anxiously.

The crew of "Sunny Days" is currently filming in Prince Kung's Mansion. There is a plot in the script where Ma Xiaojun climbs a chimney to please Milan. Jiang Wen chose Prince Kung's Mansion as the filming location, mainly because there happens to be a big chimney in Prince Kung's Mansion.

Prince Gong's Mansion was originally the residence of He Shen, and later became the Prince Qing's Mansion during the Jiaqing and Daoguang years, and then became the Prince Gong's Mansion through four dynasties after Xianfeng. It witnessed the decline of the middle and late Qing Dynasty, historical geographer Mr. Hou Renzhi Once commented: A Prince Gong's Mansion is half the history of the Qing Dynasty.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it once became the offices and dormitories of many units, including the Ministry of Public Security. It was not until 1980 that it began to be vacated. Now, in 11 years, only part of the vacating of Prince Kung's Mansion has been completed. , but the back garden of the palace was opened to tourists in 1988, and you can enter by buying a ticket.

The large chimney used in "Sunny Days" was an accessory building to the boiler room built by those units back then, and has long since been abandoned.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when Lin Weimin arrived here. From a distance, he could see something hanging on the chimney. When he got closer, he saw that workers were sitting on the hanging basket painting the chimney.

Lin Weimin looked at the workers in the air. When the wind passed by, the hanging basket swayed, making Lin Weimin's heart tremble.

"Jiang Wen! Jiang Wen!" Lin Weimin shouted Jiang Wen's name before he reached the crew.

Jiang Wen, who was lecturing the actress, instinctively panicked when he heard his voice. He quickly stood up and wanted to run away, but before he could, he saw Lin Weimin. The two looked at each other, and Jiang Wen's heart sank. .

It’s over!

After this thought flashed through his mind, another thought flashed through his mind: How could Teacher Lin know about this?

A round-headed guy with a round head flashed in Jiang Wen's mind.

Wang Shuo, you are such a thief!
