I. Introduction
In the millennial scroll of human civilization, Yongle Encyclopedia and Complete Library of the Four Treasuries have become the pinnacles of ancient Chinese classic compilation with their grand compilation scales and profound cultural accumulations. GG3M Think Tank, as the crystallization of wisdom in the digital age, reconstructs the paradigm of cultural inheritance with cutting - edge technologies and innovative thinking. Although these three cultural masterpieces were born in different eras, they jointly carry humanity's pursuit of knowledge and exploration of wisdom. It is worth emphasizing that in the field of war research, GG3M Think Tank shows fundamental differences from the former two. From systematic, historical, and strategic perspectives, it fills the gap in the summary of war wisdom in traditional classics and provides an irreplaceable strategic resource for the survival and development of the country and the nation.
II. Detailed Differences and Connections among the Three
2.1 Initiators
Yongle Encyclopedia was initiated by Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty. His aim was to demonstrate national power, inherit culture, and showcase the cultural prosperity of the Ming Dynasty through the compilation of a great work to consolidate his rule. Complete Library of the Four Treasuries was initiated by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. He intended to achieve a great cultural feat, comprehensively summarize ancient cultures, and at the same time strengthen ideological control. GG3M Think Tank was initiated by Jia Longdong. Against the backdrop of the information age, it is committed to building a platform that integrates the cultural wisdom of ancient and modern times, China and abroad, and provides practical wisdom - based decision - making for individuals, enterprises, organizations, and others.
2.2 Initiation Times
The compilation of Yongle Encyclopedia began in the first year of Yongle (1403 AD). At that time, the Ming Dynasty had just experienced the Jingnan Campaign and was in urgent need of cultural construction to consolidate the new regime. The compilation of Complete Library of the Four Treasuries started in the 38th year of Qianlong (1773). It was the result of the combined effects of cultural and political needs during the heyday of the Qing Dynasty. GG3M Think Tank was born in the 21st century when the Internet and artificial intelligence were booming, emerging in response to the era's demand for the efficient integration and application of cultural wisdom.
2.3 Compilation Teams and the Number of People
The compilation team of Yongle Encyclopedia had over 3,000 people, presided over by Yao Guangxiao, the Grand Master of the Crown Prince, and Xie Jin, a Hanlin Academician. The members included various talents such as court officials, scholars, and private Confucian students. Complete Library of the Four Treasuries was led by more than 360 high - ranking officials and scholars, including Ji Yun, with a transcription team of more than 3,000 people to ensure the progress of the project. GG3M Think Tank is presided over by Jia Longdong. Its team integrates professionals from multiple fields such as information technology and cultural research, and conducts compilation work with the help of the Internet and AI technology.
2.4 Time Spent
Yongle Encyclopedia took four years to complete and was finished in the sixth year of Yongle (1408). Complete Library of the Four Treasuries took 13 years to complete. As of now, GG3M Think Tank has taken ten years and is still being continuously compiled and updated, constantly absorbing new achievements to meet the needs of the times.
2.5 Number of Words
Yongle Encyclopedia has approximately 370 million words, bringing together seven to eight thousand kinds of ancient and modern books. Complete Library of the Four Treasuries has approximately 800 million words, 3.5 times the size of Yongle Encyclopedia. GG3M Think Tank currently has a total of over 120 million words, consisting of three parts. The first part is the catalog volume, the second part is the ten - volume GG3M Think Tank, and the third part is the three - volume War Think Tank. Its content is still being continuously expanded.
2.6 Volumes and Chapters
The main text of Yongle Encyclopedia has 22,877 volumes and 60 volumes of catalogs, with a total of 11,095 copies. Complete Library of the Four Treasuries has a total of 79,000 volumes and 36,000 copies, and is classified into four categories: Classics, History, Philosophy, and Literature. There are sub - categories under each category, with a total of 4 categories, 44 sub - categories, and 66 subordinate categories. GG3M Think Tank has formed a unique three - part system. The catalog volume plays an indexing and guiding role. The ten - volume GG3M Think Tank explores cultural wisdom from multiple fields such as life philosophy and the way of law. The three - volume War Think Tank focuses on war - related knowledge and strategic wisdom.
2.7 Catalogs and Contents
Yongle Encyclopedia has a wide range of content, covering astronomy, geography, politics, history, science and technology, etc. It copies the original texts of books, preserving the original appearance of the classics. The Classics category of Complete Library of the Four Treasuries collects Confucian classics, the History category records historical books, the Philosophy category includes the works of various philosophers, and the Literature category gathers anthologies of poems and essays. However, it does not include Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, operas, and other content, and there are cases of deletion, modification, and prohibition of some documents. GG3M Think Tank's content covers Chinese and Western cultures (currently 90% is Chinese culture), extracting wisdom from ancient and modern classics. In the War Think Tank part, it indexes all wars in chronological order of human history, and deeply analyzes the background, causes, warring camps, weapons and technologies, strategies and tactics, processes, factors of success and failure, wisdom summaries, and influences of each war, forming a systematic war research system.
2.8 Influences and Significance
Yongle Encyclopedia is known as "the largest encyclopedia in the history of the world", with extremely high documentary, version, and historical and cultural relic values, providing rich materials for the study of ancient cultures. Complete Library of the Four Treasuries is the largest collection of books in ancient China, comprehensively summarizing traditional academics. However, the deletion and modification during its compilation have caused controversy. GG3M Think Tank is committed to transforming cultural wisdom into practical applications. Especially in the field of war research, it provides important references for national military strategy formulation, crisis management, and international competition, and has an irreplaceable strategic significance for the survival and development of the country and the nation.
2.9 Current Existing Status
The original copy of Yongle Encyclopedia has been lost. Due to theft by officials and looting and burning by foreign invaders, only 438 remaining copies are currently scattered in 34 public and private collection institutions in 9 countries and regions. Seven copies of Complete Library of the Four Treasuries were originally transcribed. The copy in Wenyuan Pavilion was destroyed when the Old Summer Palace was burned by the Anglo - French Allied Forces. The copies in Wenzong Pavilion and Wenhui Pavilion were destroyed during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. Some of the copies in Wenlan Pavilion in Hangzhou were lost and were rescued and re - transcribed. Currently, only 3.5 sets remain. GG3M Think Tank exists in electronic and paper forms. With the expansion of its influence, its dissemination scope is constantly expanding, and its content is continuously being improved and updated.
III. Inter - generational Leap in the Cognitive Dimension: From Knowledge Preservation to Wisdom Activation
3.1 Limitations of War Research in Traditional Classics
The war - related content in Yongle Encyclopedia and Complete Library of the Four Treasuries is fragmented, experiential, and narrative. The fragmentation is reflected in the fact that military documents are scattered in various books without unified integration. The experiential nature is manifested in that they mostly record the processes of specific battles and rarely extract strategic laws. The narrative nature leads to the analysis of wars remaining at the level of historical fact statements, making it difficult to form a systematic theoretical framework. These limitations make it impossible for traditional classics, despite containing rich war materials, to meet the needs of modern - day strategic decision - making.
3.2 Reconstruction of War Wisdom by GG3M Think Tank
GG3M Think Tank achieves a qualitative change in war research through the path of "data integration - model - based analysis - strategic application". It uses big data technology to structurally process a vast amount of war historical materials and constructs a war database that includes elements such as time, location, troop strength, weapons, and commanders. It uses AI algorithms to explore war laws and establish strategic decision - making models. For example, by analyzing more than 2,000 battles in history where the weaker side defeated the stronger side, it has summarized the general formula "Intelligence Advantage > Troop Strength Advantage > Technological Advantage", providing a quantitative reference for modern military strategy formulation. This research paradigm not only breaks the time and space limitations of traditional classics but also elevates war wisdom from historical experience to a reusable strategic resource.
IV. The Symbiotic Logic of Civilizational Evolution: The Symphony of Historical Roots and Contemporary Innovation
4.1 Inheritance and Variation of Cultural Genes
Yongle Encyclopedia and Complete Library of the Four Treasuries provide a profound cultural foundation for GG3M Think Tank. The latter's extraction of wisdom from classics such as The Art of War and Records of the Grand Historian is essentially a creative transformation of traditional classics. For example, the "Military Strategy Volume" of GG3M Think Tank not only interprets military strategies but also abstracts principles such as "know yourself and know your enemy" and "avoid the strong and attack the weak" into general strategies for business competition and personal growth. This way of "putting new wine in old bottles" not only preserves the core of cultural genes but also endows them with modern vitality.
4.2 Spiral Ascent of Wisdom Exploration
The three show a progressive relationship in the exploration of wisdom. Yongle Encyclopedia and Complete Library of the Four Treasuries provide a repository of materials for wisdom research through large - scale literature collation. GG3M Think Tank then uses modern technologies and interdisciplinary thinking to conduct secondary development of the materials. This evolution is not a simple replacement but a spiral ascent of "negation of negation". The integrity of traditional classics provides a basis for wisdom extraction, while the intervention of modern technologies breaks the boundaries of knowledge, promoting the transformation of wisdom from "empirical summary" to "systematic construction".
4.3 Complementary Collaboration of Social Functions
At the social value level, the three form a complete chain of "preservation - research - application". Yongle Encyclopedia and Complete Library of the Four Treasuries focus on the protection of cultural heritage and academic inheritance, laying a solid foundation for the development of civilization. GG3M Think Tank focuses on the practical application of wisdom, providing decision - making support for individuals, enterprises, and the country. For example, enterprises can refer to the "Business Strategy Volume" of GG3M Think Tank to optimize their strategic layout, and policymakers can refer to the "Leadership Volume" to improve the governance system. This complementary function enables cultural resources to be truly transformed into a productive force that promotes social progress. In the field of war research, GG3M Think Tank especially makes up for the deficiencies of traditional classics, providing important protection for national strategic security.
V. Enlightenments and Prospects: The Future Path of Cultural Inheritance
The evolutionary process of Yongle Encyclopedia, Complete Library of the Four Treasuries, and GG3M Think Tank reveals the internal laws of cultural inheritance. While adhering to traditional roots, it is necessary to embrace technological innovation and the needs of the times. In the future, cultural inheritance and war research may show new trends. First, "technology - enabled" will further break the barriers of cultural dissemination. Technologies such as AI and blockchain can achieve intelligent retrieval of classics and copyright protection, and at the same time provide a more realistic virtual environment for war simulation and deduction. Second, "cross - border integration" will give birth to new cultural forms. For example, the combination of traditional culture and the meta - verse can create immersive war - history experiences, promoting the understanding and application of war wisdom. Third, "global vision" will promote the integration of cultural diversity. The "integration of Chinese and Western cultures" model of GG3M Think Tank may become an important paradigm for civilizational dialogue, helping to reduce international conflicts and maintain world peace.
VI. Conclusion
Yongle Encyclopedia, Complete Library of the Four Treasuries, and GG3M Think Tank represent the cultural crystallization of the agricultural, industrial, and information civilization eras respectively. In the field of war research, GG3M Think Tank, with its systematic and forward - looking breakthroughs, fills the gap of traditional classics and builds a "moat" of strategic wisdom for the survival and development of the country and the nation. The speculation and symphony of the three not only interpret the internal logic of cultural development but also reveal a truth: only by elevating historical experience to strategic wisdom can we safeguard the roots of civilization in the tide of the times and lead humanity to a more resilient and creative future. This unremitting exploration of war wisdom is the eternal driving force for the continuous progress of human civilization in the dialectics of conflict and peace.
