Han Yu: A literary giant who has been repeatedly hit and indomitable Han Yu, known as one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, is well-known in the literary world for his outstanding literary achievements. However, his career was not smooth, he suffered many setbacks, and his turbulent career troubled him.
Despite this, he has always maintained his perseverance and always believes that chance will always favor those who have a heart. In 787 AD, after unremitting efforts, Han Yu finally obtained the qualification of Xianggong, and with hope, he embarked on a journey to Chang'an to take the Jinshi examination of the Ministry of Rites.
However, the gap between ideals and reality hit Han Yue hard, although his essay was talented, it was not recognized by the examiner, and in desperation, he could only return to his hometown with a full sense of loss and regret.
In the following years, Han Yu took the exam twice, but failed to do so. Falling off the list many times made him feel desperate, and it seemed that he would never be able to make achievements in his career again in this life.
However, the setbacks and difficulties in life did not defeat Han Yu, but inspired him to have greater fighting spirit and determination. He always believes that as long as he persists, there will always be a door of opportunity open for him.
Han Yu's experience is undoubtedly a vivid and profound life enlightenment: only by experiencing setbacks and failures can we better understand the value and meaning of success.
Han Yu's essays have always been a model for exams, and he is unique in both his arguments and style. However, despite the high quality, topical, and profound content of his essays on not angering others, he never received the attention of the examiner.
In a recent exam, he tried again, but the results were still disappointing. This time, the theme is to restrain oneself and keep one's mind at ease. Seeing that the topic was similar to the topic of the previous exam, he decided to revise the essay from the previous exam a little before submitting the paper.
The examiner, Lu Zhen, saw that he handed in the paper so quickly, so he began to read his essay. After reading it a few times, he was deeply moved by this article and immediately commented: This is a good article, admitted.
In this way, after the fourth attempt, Han Yu finally passed the Jinshi examination.
Han Yu opposed Buddhism and was demoted to Meizhou. In Beijing, the ** people persuaded him that he could only be activated if he had some political achievements, and reported the deposit of silver, tribute, construction, etc. After arriving in Meizhou, Han Yu forgot all about these things and focused on doing practical things.
He took out the Meizhou deposits, donated his money and materials to run the school, advocated culture and education, and made Meizhou's advocacy of education a common practice. According to statistics, after Han Yu advocated teaching, there were 172 Jinshi in Meizhou alone.
He built water conservancy, controlled crocodiles, created Meizhou cultural brand, advocated Mandarin, summarized Hakka culture, and left a huge spiritual wealth. Despite his hard work, he was not good at communicating, leaving the above in the dark about his work in Meizhou.
At the same time, the degraded ** has been activated, only he is still in Meizhou. Han Yu does not seek fame and fortune, does things for the people, and always insists on himself.
Yu Shi visited Meizhou and saw that the people here lived and worked in peace and contentment, the streets were neat, the books were loud, and it was prosperous. The name of the mountain here is Hansan, the name of the river is Hangang, and even the streets have Korean characters.
After some understanding, I realized that this was to repay Han Yu's kindness. After Yushi returned to Chang'an, he made the matter public. Eight months later, Han Yu was transferred to Yuanzhou, and soon after, he was transferred back to Chang'an to serve as a squire in the military department.
Han Yu has experienced ups and downs in his life, all because of his integrity and stubbornness. However, it is this kind of character that allows him to always meet his benefactor at critical moments. This is a philosophy of life that is worth pondering.
