Liu Xi: Far away from home, I don't forget to teach

The more only green mountains, Wu Wei fangcao, all ages have been destroyed. The opening chapter still reminds everyone to pay attention to protection when traveling. The frequent wars and chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty led to the displacement of hundreds of people, and many people left their hometowns and even could not return to their hometowns for a long time. This article will talk about Liu Xi, the word into the country.

Liu Xi was a native of Beihai, Qingzhou, and some Qingzhou people were active in the late Han Dynasty, revisiting their names: Zheng Xuan, Wang Xuanxiū, Bing Yuan, Guan Ning, Fu Xuan, Xu Gan, Wang Heping, Sun Qian, Sun Shao, Sun Song, Shi Yi, Teng Téng Yin, Liu Xi. Among them, Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, and Fu Xuan were all famous people in the world, and later people often mentioned their deeds.

"Liu Xizi became a country, a Jiaozhou person, and a former Beihai person" - "The Hundred Yue Ancestors"

The records of Liu Xi are mainly derived from later generations of scriptures, such as the Sui Shu Jing Shu and the New Book of Tang Yiwen Zhi, because Liu Xi has annotated some Confucian classics, and his annotations are widely applicable. However, there is not much record of Liu Xi's life and deeds in the local chronicles, he is full of classics and strong knowledge, relying on his own talents to learn a famous moment, because he refused to conquest has never been out, so he is also known as "Zhengshi", Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Huang Fumian, Zhou Shenglie and others have been named "Zhengshi".

"Knowledgeable, famous for a while, recommended is not enough, avoid the land and the state, people call it the conscript" - "The Hundred Yue Ancestors"

Liu Xi was originally a Beihai man, who ran to Jiaozhou to avoid chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he was also counted among the hundreds of Zhongyuan soldiers who went to Jiaozhou. Although Jiaozhou was remote, it did not restrict Liu Xi from giving full play to his own talents, and he also taught a group of disciples in Jiaozhou, including Wei Yao yào and Xu Ci, who studied with Liu Xi when they were in Jiaozhou to avoid chaos.

"Traveling back and forth between Cangwu and the South China Sea, hundreds of disciples were taught by guests, and the three volumes of the "Tanfa" were written in the world" - "The Chronicles of the Hundred Yue Sages"

"The Shaoyi people avoided the land and crossed the prefecture, learning from Liu Xi" - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Xue Zong biography"

In the case "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cheng Bingbiao", Cheng Bingbai studied under Zheng Xuanmen, but instead of going to Xuzhou with Zheng Xuan, he came to Jiaozhou, where he met Liu Xi, and because he often exchanged academic understanding with Liu Xi, Cheng Bing eventually also learned the Five Classics. Xu Ci also had a similar experience, although he took Liu Xi as his teacher, he was particularly good at "Zheng Shi Xue", and obviously did not delve into Zheng Xuan's teachings.

"Teacher Liu Xi, Shan Zheng Shi Xue, Zhiyi, Shangshu, Sanli, Mao Shi, Analects" - "Three Kingdoms Zhi Xu Ci Biography"

"Arrest zheng xuan, avoid chaos and cross the state, discuss the great righteousness with Liu Xi, and then bo tong five" - "Three Kingdoms Chronicles Cheng Bingchuan"

Unlike the choices of Guan Ning, Feng Yuan and others, Liu Xi did not return to his hometown in the end, he chose to take root in Jiaozhou, and eventually grew old here. Liu Xi left many works, mainly related to the Notes on Mencius, the Tanfa, and the most well-known "Interpretation of Names". "Interpretation of Names" is from the perspective of sound to explore the origin of the meaning of words, it has made an important contribution to the study of exegesis, in the "Book of later Han Dynasty Wenyuan Column Biography" Liu Zhen also compiled thirty "Interpretation of Names", the final flow of Fang fang is Liu Xi, the disciple Wei Yao also specifically mentioned this book, but also often see Liu Xi and "Interpretation" in the commentary.

"See also Liu Xi's interpretation of the name, the letter is good, but there are many kinds of things, it is rare to study in detail, so there are gains and losses, and the matter of knighthood, there are right and wrong" - "Three Kingdoms Chronicles of Wei Yao"

If there is any omission, we hope to correct it.
