At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the masters were like forests, and it was the Renaissance era of Chinese academics. Among them, there are three of the most powerful, not Director Fan, let alone me, that is, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, and Wang Fuzhi, which are recognized by the academic community as the "three major thinkers in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties", the three richest people, tied for the first place. My goal in life is still at the stage of trying to be the richest man in Xiangyang Village, and if I succeed, I will enter the ** town.
It is unbelievable that these three spiritual richest men are all related to Chongfu!
Gu Yanwu, a native of Kunshan, he went to Chongfu in 1661 AD, along the canal, to Cao's house in Chongfu, visited Caodu, and stayed in Cao's house for a few nights, and then went home, since then wandered the world, never came to Jiangnan again. What was the purpose of Gu Yanwu's visit to Cao Du, what topics did they talk about, and what kind of food did they eat?It is still a mystery.
Huang Zongxi, a native of Yuyao, he and Chongfu, fate is deep, he first went to Chongfu, much earlier than Gu Yanwu, and later in 1664, to Chongfu Lu Liuliang's house, as a tutor, taught for several years, and Chongfu people have a lot of contacts, he wrote Chongfu's poems, can be compiled out, out of a book "Chongfu Town in the eyes of Huang Zongxi".
The relationship between the above two and Chongfu has been written in the official account, so I won't expand it here.
*From the web.
Wang Fuzhi, a native of Hunan, has basically been an "otaku" all his life, and has never been to Zhejiang, but many people in his circle of friends have been to Chongfu, so he often sees Chongfu's beautiful pictures and delicacies in the "WeChat circle of friends", and is very familiar with the situation in Chongfu.
Wang Fuzhi's Hunan hometown, there is a very important one, that is Kuang Shipei, he once went to Chongfu, served as the governor of Shimen, the first leader, stayed for several years, in his shogunate, there are two masters, both of whom he invited from his hometown Hunan, that is, Zhou Shiyi and Xu Weizi. These two, like Kwong Shipei, are both friends of Wang Fuzhi. It can be said that in the 17th century, Chongfu Town once had a "Hunan era".
The relationship between Zhou Shiyi and Chongfu, as well as his friendship with Wang Fuzhi, has been verified by "The Biography of Wu Zhizhen" (by Pan Shiyu and Yu Zhenhong), so I will not repeat it. Here we will say Xu Weizhi, he is a native of Changsha, Hunan, and is the author of "Bamboo Pavilion Manuscript", Wang Fuzhi wrote a preface, which has a sentence that says: "Bei Tingju's words are crescent, and he belongs to the son of Weizi." Judging from this sentence, Xu Weizhi should still be in Chongfu at that time. The so-called "Bei Tingju's New Moon" refers to the late Yuan Dynasty poet Bei Qiong's "Huai Nei Brother Lu Xizhi" "I don't say goodbye to the river on the house, the month is twenty-four new". Yu'er Creek refers to Chongfu Town. It can be seen that Wang Fuzhi is very familiar with the poetry of Pei Qiong, a Chongfu person, although he has always been knowledgeable, but it should also be related to his three friends.
Wang Fuzhi is both a thinker and a writer, and his most famous group of poems is "Guang Xianxing", one of which is written about Chongfu: "Seeing the road by the river, the dried silverfish are blurred. He used the word "see and say", which shows that someone told him about Chongfu's situation, but who told him?The biggest possibility should be Xu Weizhi, Zhou Shiyi, and of course, Kuang Shipei.
The three major thinkers, at the same time, have a near or far relationship with a town, which shows the influence of Chongfu. Later, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, and Wang Fuzhi were enshrined in the Confucian Temple and became a model for Chinese traditional knowledge practitioners.
Interestingly, the ancients related to Chongfu, in addition to the above three, also Fu Guang and Zhang Luxiang, like Huang Zongxi, taught and lectured in Chongfu. From this, I have summarized a historical law, but anyone who has lectured in Chongfu is a particularly honorable thing, and it is possible to become a thinker, or be enshrined in an empty temple. Coincidentally, I was also fortunate enough to give a lecture in Chongfu, and I was still there yesterday, but now that I think about it, I am so excited that I can't believe that this is a dreamI couldn't help but squeeze Director Fan's arm fiercely, oh, it's true!
