这是一位来自大英博物馆亚洲测展部的工作人员对永乐大典的真实评价,并且还特别沉迷。朱棣, we're looking at a book and it's probably one of the most famous books from china, it's part of a compilation of all literature which the young la emperor ordered called the great canon of literature or the young la d'artagnan emperor various volumes exist outside china, i think there are two hundred in china and about two hundred outside china family trees of emperors to poems and literature of all kind these pages are large and impressive with a red border and some have designs illustrations and different types of script depending on on what the topic is i think it would have covered more than 70 meters of shelving to give you an idea of how big a project this was people often think of it as an encyclopedia, but of course it's not really encyclopedia because encyclopedia is generally pieces of commissioned writing on specific topics, but this isn't commissioned writing this is bringing together of existing writing so some of the texts that are included in the young laddadion date to an earlier period, it's a fascinating glimpse into the whole of chinese literature in the early 15th century, i am endlessly fascinated by the young emperor because when you think of his achievements they are quite extraordinary really is the kind of second founding of the ming dynasty and he was only in power for 29 years, you know that is nothing when you think what he achieved in those years building of the forbidden city the sponsoring of the um voyages of jung, hee the building of the darbances in nanjing, the commissioning of temples on wu, dangshan, and so on, and so on he just had the most extraordinary vision and ambition。 每每看到永乐年间创造的辉煌,我都会无比的感动和不由自主的自豪,但随之而来的就是说不出的忧伤和痛心。 这样一个上邦之邦的国度和时代,被摧残的支离破碎荡然无存,没有人不为之叹惜落泪。尽管后世一些人总抓着朱棣得位不正的话给予污名, 但无论如何也掩盖不了他是一位卓绝的皇帝,因为他不光有修书造典的千古佳话, 还为了抵御达鲁,把帝都迁移北京建造紫禁城,砥定了天子守国门的格局,同时繁荣了北方各地。朱棣的眼光和抱负确实无人可及,他派遣以政和为首的使团 彻底打通了海上丝绸之路,把大明的茶叶、丝绸等清销到欧洲市场, 更是直接将大明推向空前繁荣的地步。这让反应迟钝的欧洲人发现,自己好不容易从非洲获挖获抢来的白银, 没有用于一点本国建设,反而被不可思议的东方大国连自家老底都差点被掀了。据史料记载,明朝累计从欧洲各国获得了六万吨白银, 占据世界白银储量的一半,直接导致欧洲各国白银储量短缺, 甚至早早在中世纪末期就爆发了严重的经济危机。最开始他们选择将硬币的银含量降低,可是在各国都这么干的情况下,却显得捉襟见肘。 于是欧洲各国硬币便以一种微妙的形式慢慢发生改变,他们不再凭借贵金属的价值来衡量一切, 而是以国家信用慢慢发行现代意义上的货币,才勉强熬过欧洲最贫穷的时刻。而大明在获得这么多白银后,直接稳稳坐实了超级大国的地位。
