[00:02.31]The other great task Kangxi set himself was cultural.康熙为自己设定的另一重任是文化上的。
[00:07.36]Well, I think Kangxi, as a Manchu emperor, knew very well that he couldn't actually cope with the whole of the China that he had conquered, 我认为康熙作为满洲皇帝非常清楚，如无汉人辅助对应已被征服的中华民众，
[00:14.53]and which he was going to rule, without the Chinese help. 他其实无法将其纳入治理之下。
[00:18.84]So he mounted a charm offensive to a lot of the intellectuals who were loyal to the previous dynasty.于是他对许多仍忠于前朝的文人展开魅力攻势。
[00:26.77]He worked hard by getting these people to get involved in the editing of so much of Chinese works.他竭力使这些文人们投入到巨量文学作品的编纂工作中去。
[00:34.44]Like this one, which is the Quan Tangshi - The Complete Tang Poems.比如这套，名为《全唐诗》，唐诗全集。
[00:39.57]And, my goodness me, you can see there is quite a lot.天哪，看看有多少啊。
[00:43.37]How many poems? 有多少首诗？
[00:43.81]Do we know? 能知道吗？
[00:44.48]48,000 plus. 四万八千多首诗。

[00:48.29]Yeah. 好的。 
[00:49.50]So, it's quite a project. 这是个大工程。
[00:53.00]A hundred wood block carvers were employed, all under the supervision of a servant, Cao Yin, who was Han Chinese, not Manchu.一百名木刻版工应召而来，由一名“包衣”统筹总管，曹寅，是一位汉人，而非满人。
[01:03.46]Cao Yin was, in theory, a bond servant or a slave, of the Manchus.曹寅从理论上讲是满族人的奴才。
[01:09.84]His family had been captured by the Manchus, before they actually took over the rule of the whole of the Chinese Empire. 曹家在满族人入关前被俘，那时满族人还未统一华夏。
[01:22.75]And as a slave person, he remained very close to the Emperor in his household.作为皇帝的家奴，他与皇室贵族们相当熟络。
[01:30.50]And, not only that.不仅如此。
[01:31.53]Actually, Cao Yin's mother was made one of the nurses for the Kangxi Emperor.实际上，曹寅的母亲被选为侍奉康熙帝的侍从之一。
[01:37.74]And they also say, though it's not proven, that Cao Yin may have been one of the people who was a sort of reader-companion to the Emperor when he was a small boy.据说，这未曾证实，曹寅或曾位列其中成为皇帝的侍读，那时他还是个小孩。
[01:52.41]This sort of very close bond between them went on and, apart from making him the titular head of this project, 曹寅与皇室亲密的关系一直维系着，除了让其主持《全唐诗》的校刻之外，
[02:01.56]because he was Chinese, he also made him a kind of spy, to make private reports to the Imperial Palace alone on what he saw in the course of his duties.因为他是汉人，皇帝还让他做间谍，令其单独向皇庭私报他在任期间的所见所闻。
[02:20.50]So, the bondsman Cao Yin oversaw the huge printing job.所以包衣奴才曹寅管理着庞杂的校刻任务。
[02:25.80]The collating, cutting, binding and sewing.校对、刻板、装订和缝封。
[02:30.83]He published The Complete Tang poems in 1708 and on the frontispiece was a kind gesture by the Emperor to the boy he'd grown up with - his name on the front page.他在1708年刊印了《全唐诗》，卷首则是皇帝御批，嘉奖其儿时伙伴--曹寅之名就在首页。
[02:44.89]Cao Yin wrote back, "Who am I that I should be on this list of names?"曹寅回复道：“承蒙帝恩，能留名于书。”
[02:50.30]"I do not know what happiness can ever compare with this" The great enterprise was done in the very city destroyed by the Manchus in the horrors of 1645. “此鄙人三生之幸”，此等伟业成就于这样一座城市，1645年满人曾蹂躏此地。
