The original Yongle Grand Ceremony was lost in the late Ming Dynasty, mostly due to fire.
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Ming Dynasty, only 9,000 copies were left after Qianlong. Later, many copies were taken away by other powers in the late Qing Dynasty, and now there are only about 800 copies left, accounting for 3% of the whole Yongle ceremony.
Yongle Dadian is a large-scale book compiled by China in ancient times. The books included in Yongle Dadian have not been deleted or changed. It is a valuable cultural heritage of the Chinese nation and the largest encyclopedia in ancient China.
If the original Yongle Grand Ceremony can shock the world one day in the future. Then some contents of China's cultural history may be rewritten. You should know that Yongle Dadian was more than 300 years earlier than the encyclopedia published in the 8th century. It records all kinds of science and technology before the early Ming Dynasty, and also records the knowledge of astronomy and geography.

According to rough statistics, there are seven or eight thousand kinds of ancient classics selected and preserved in Yongle Dadian, which is five or six times more than previous generations, such as, Tai Lan, Yuan Gui and so on.
