The death of Lu He, the missionary gong, left a dream complex for the old house sun of the Lu family. Can it fill the gap that the Lu clan has not had a Beijing official for more than two hundred years since it moved south? Mr. Zhu Xi chose a stele for Lu He and gave it to the Lu brothers, which the townspeople considered to be an auspicious sign and a spur.
Ironically, however, the shadow cast on the people by the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty officials grew longer and longer.
In the first month of the thirty-second year of Shaoxing (1162), the Jin state sent emissaries to declare that GuanyanLiang was killed by his generals when he invaded Jiangnan, and Guanyan Yong was immediately enthroned as Jin Shizong. The great victory against Jin should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue and directly attack the Yellow Dragon; however, the main peace faction led by Emperor Gaozong, who fantasized that the Jin people would take the initiative to return the imperial tombs in Henan, still bent their knees and became subjects, adhering to the "Jia Gui philosophy". When Hong Hao (Hong Mai's father) sent an envoy to the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong personally wrote the Codex: "If he can see the return from Henan, he will want to honor him as before, and he will return to himself, so why pity?" "When Zhang Jun, the commander of the War of Resistance, accompanied Emperor Gaozong on his tour of the tomb, the guards saw that the emperor did not perform the ceremony; as soon as Zhang Jun appeared, the soldiers roared like thunder, overwhelmed the mountains and the sea, and gave a salute ... Military might made Zhao Zhuo feel uneasy inside. Patriotic soldiers and civilians throughout the country and the main war anti-surrender faction inside and outside the imperial court all pinned their hopes on Zhang Jun. Emperor Gaozong acted perversely like a fish in his throat, but did not use Zhang Jun to lead the army, and sent his confidants Yang Cunzhong and Yu Yunwen as Xuanfu's deputy envoys, and the government and the public were greatly disappointed, and their anger boiled. After the Jin Dynasty, Yan Yong still regarded himself as a human master, ambitious, and rude, declaring Gaozong's surrender line completely bankrupt. In the midst of the resistance of the military and the people, Zhao Zhuo's rule was difficult to continue, declaring "Inner Zen" and passing the throne to Zhao (shen with "Shen"), for the sake of Filial Piety. Emperor Gaozong, who called himself "Emperor Taishang", retired to Deoksugung Palace, saying that he would "cultivate his spirit with an indifferent heart." This Zhao and Song dynasty official royal family's ninth brother Zhao Zhao's partial security regime ruled the southern kingdom for thirty-six years, from "keeping and reconciling" to "paying tribute to his subjects" and even being forced to abdicate, writing the most humiliating page in the history of Chinese monarchy, the abolition of the dynasty, and the precariousness of Confucianism. Zhao, formerly known as Wei, was the seventh grandson of Taizu Zhao Guoyin and the son of King Xiu, hence the name "Inner Zen". He ascended the throne in June of the 32nd year of Shaoxing. The second year (16 changed the yuan "Longxing"; for another two years, the yuan was changed to "Qiandao". After Emperor Xiaozong came to power, he immediately reused Zhang Jun, prepared for the War of Resistance, and won back the people's hearts; on the one hand, he also vigorously promoted the examination of science, recruited talents, and exerted great efforts to govern, which had a new atmosphere. However, is this so-called "Seventh Grandson" the lord of the Great Song Dynasty? Grim history will tell good people.
Lu Jiuyuan, who had completed three years of filial piety, was tested in the first year of Qiandao (1165). The father repeatedly urged Zi Jing and Huan Zhi to participate in the township examination for the second time. Because they inadvertently sought fame and rushed into battle, they both fell off the list! The townspeople are full of rumors, what "Lu family prodigy" is not a god, "Wenqu Xing" is difficult to land in the mountain village; could it be that the missionary public buried the wrong dragon vein, and the west wind rolled up the flag? ...... The brothers, uncles, and nephews of the Lu family's old house all obeyed the Jiusi "Family Question", and did not take the disciple's "failure of the imperial examination" as a disease, but put "etiquette and righteousness" as the priority, and encouraged Jiuyuan and Huanzhi to fight again.
Lu Jiushao, the "Old Garden of Suoshan Mountain", was even more calm. If it were not for his father's dying instructions, in this last days of war and chaos, he advocated that the wise should live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and study the "study of heaven and man" in depth. Most of the fame of the career is the dream pursued by mediocre Confucianism and ordinary Confucianism.
What about Lu Jiuyuan? He thought deeper than Brother Liujiu and went further.
There was a friend of the same branch, Tong Boyu, who came to the book and said", "No self laughs", which caused him to meditate. In his reply, he painfully discussed his unique "concept of merit and fame" (Lu Ji, p. 33). At the beginning, he wrote:
"A certain autumn test is fortunate not to be taken by the examiner, but to be cut with the brothers and nephews in the way of the sages, to be angry with the past, to have a daily warning, to trap the well with thorns to beg for the sake of the village, to live in the safe house where the anti-bondage brigade begs for food, and there are enough masturbations."
This is a strange language and strange text, worthy of the Qingtian prodigy. It is neither "self-deprecating" nor "self-conditioning", but "self-warning". Those who have fallen behind in the examination halls of ancient and modern China and abroad may all think that it is an "unfortunate thing", and Lu Jiuyuan alone said that it is a "fortunate" thing. Because, he said, the road to the royal examination was a "thorn trap", not a "kangzhuang avenue". He must filter out the "wrongs" of the past, ring the alarm bell for himself every day, live a stable life in his own home, and sit with his brothers and nephews to discuss the Tao, so that it is enough to comfort himself!
He is not "where?" "What's the alarm?" What is the "way of the sages"?
"In previous years, my heart was expected to give my brother a birthday, and this year I got along with my servants, and I tended to be extraordinary. Near the ring I live for hundreds of miles, the former cover is not much like a foot, but the servant is in the foot of the museum for a few half years, and can not return to the foot of the family's heart of profit, this sincere servant shallow sin. ”
The two "heart" words before and after show that his observation of his friend is so delicate and so sincere. The person responsible is the first to blame. In front of a friend, you should get someone else's pain in front of you, and first examine yourself for "shallow sins" (the crime is very strange!). ), and then "return" his "heart of voice", who is not convinced by the needle? In his youth, Lu Jiuyuan had a "educator" temperament, understood human feelings, was both sincere and frank in directing the psychology of the other party to prescribe the right medicine, "self-reliance" and "standing up", speaking sharply but putting himself into it, modest and kind, who is not moved?
"Zeng Ziyi: I wish qiting can fight rats, and Wu can sing with me?" The beauty of the Temple of The Joy Sect of the NiyanZi, the millions of people in the Golden Revolution, can use their hearts and expect to reach the rich and noble at the same time? Remember: Furun House, Derun Body.
The Book of Rites contains: "Rich House, Virtue Run Body", Rich Energy Decoration House, Virtue Can Cultivate Character, Who Is Important? The latter, Yan Hui lived in a dark alley, so poor that he only had a "bento" meal and a "scoop" of cold water, or he was happy to read. Confucius exclaimed, "Xianya Huiye! "Who does not envy the beauty of the temple, the wealth of a hundred officials, but you cannot have both, just as you cannot catch a mouse if you sing loudly in your mouth." What is important is moral cultivation, and a moral person, even if he is not an official, his spiritual world will always be beautiful; on the contrary, it is ugly for an official not to pay attention to morality.
Mencius: Zhao Meng is precious, Zhao Meng can be cheap. It is also known that: benevolence, righteousness, faithfulness, and tirelessness, this Heavenly Lord, gongqing doctor, when this person is also a son, the seeker of the lord, still must repair his heavenly lord, and the future generation of the seeker, cover nothing to do in the heavenly lord. To abandon this and engage in the other, He Wei raised a finger and lost his shoulder.
Jin Guo Zhengqing Zhao Qian, the character Meng, honorific title "Zhao Meng". "What Zhao Meng is precious, Zhao Meng can be cheap." Zhao Meng was in a high position and held the power to kill and seize. He is happy that he can seal your officials and make you rich and noble; if you make him unhappy, he can dismiss your officials and return you to poverty. It can be seen from this that the "honor" given to you by others is not true honor. If you do not cherish your noble personality, you may become "inferior" at any time; perhaps you have not received "honor" at all, but are only served by people, and if you are not careful, you will be "degraded" at any time. Everyone wants to be "noble", which is something common to human nature. However, the unscrupulous rich and expensive is "shame."
Noble things Personality, nothing more than yourself do not love humiliation"! Because, everyone has their own
Sorry. "Heavenly Lord" refers to man's moral status (ideological character); "Man Jue" refers to man's social status (fame and fortune). A person who only pursues social status and does not cultivate moral status is equivalent to taking care of a bodybuilding finger, but ignoring the erosion of the shoulders, and will eventually rot all over the body, and everything will be finished.
"And what is the way to seek, and the one who has the destiny, and those who are not manpower can be caused, and the anti-camp camp is drawn from it?" I am glad to be sincere, and I am very confused. Zi Si Yue: "Everyone knows to know, and to drive and accept the traps of the many, and Mo Zhizhi (same as "avoid") also." The book is said to be "no self-laughter", and this servant's pity is not ridiculous. Although the foot is silent, the servant knows the depth. Xiang Servant can neither hold up the foot to receive the test nor hit, and he deeply desires that the book is a piece of paper for the foot, and he will not succeed. It is better than coming here to read Especially, fang this picture, but it is the first to come to the book, and it is a repetition of this. ”
Zi Si said a wise passage in "The Mean": "Everyone says that they are smart, and if they use a small sweetness to lure him into the nets, cages, and traps of the beast, but do not know how to hide, this is the weakness of human nature." "It is not necessary to deal with the happiness and worry and confusion of merit and fame. The letter says, "Don't laugh at me," how can I laugh at you? Just pity you, but unfortunately you are stuck in the mud pit and can't extricate yourself. I wanted to write to you, but I was too busy with my affairs to delay the time; now that you have written first, my feelings are deeper and more earnest, and I would like to express my opinion for you to ponder. This letter was written after Lu Jiuyuan fell off the list at the age of twenty-seven, which shows that when he was young, he was a "sober person". His "Theory of the Trap of Fame" has five meanings: first, the joy of Yanhui's ugly alley and the wealth and wealth cannot be combined; second, the rich house, derun body. The pursuit of wealth and no attention to moral cultivation is not the right way for a long time; third, what Zhao Meng is precious, Zhao Meng can be cheap. Relying on the powerful is, after all, "attachment". A person mainly relies on "self-reliance". Fourth, the ideological character (Tianjue) of the "Heavenly Lord" must be cultivated first, which cannot be solved by the "Path of Examination", and must be solved by one's own lifelong practice. Fifth, "trap" refers to: "meritorious name" is a privilege given by the state imperial court, and "privilege" can either do things for the people or make people degenerate; "meritorious name" can either honor or kill. We should attain "meritorious fame" through the right path, and we should not indulge in it or fall into self-indulgence. Gain or loss into honor and disgrace is vulgar.
In "Sending Mao Yuanshan Sequence", Lu Jiuyuan further denounced the abuses of the imperial examination:
"He who is impermanent and has a permanent heart, only a soldier can do it." In ancient times, there was no tiredness of the soldiers, and what they said day and night, all the things that I did in my body and my heart reached the world. The husband is to not lose his sense of permanence. In the hereafter, the evil hands are judged, the hometown is followed day by day, and the disease is driven by the smear of lust, and the things of my body and my heart are not talked about again, and the house is safe and the dwelling is widespread, and the right path is abandoned, so those who have a permanent heart cannot blame the soldiers. Non-Haojieteli, although its quality is only beautiful, cover often in the vulgar, and do not know its destination, Skoye. (Lu Ji, p. 241)
Mao Yuanshan, Ziwen Bing, Jianchang people. The family has "negative Guo's field" and "the clothes and crowns are clear and distinct". But he tried repeatedly, discouraged, wanted to sell his property, and traveled the world, which led to this life. Lu Jiuyuan wrote this "Preface" and sent it to him. Mao Jun's emotions changed, and Xie said, "It is like a hair, please return here."
In the third year of Qiandao (1167), Lu Jiuyuan was twenty-nine years old, and Aiqing, the daughter of Mr. Wu Maorong of Qianlang Village, had grown up. Wu Aiqing, a scholar and a scholar, has a dignified appearance, "a child is heterogeneous, a female worker cannot learn without learning, and the poetry book is never forgotten" (Lu Ji, p. 497). Jiuyuan and her fell in love and married together in the winter of this year. During the Song Dynasty, the daughter got married and was called "Da Gui." They were considered to be the "late marriages" at that time. In the seventh year of Qiandao (1171), Wu became pregnant. On August 17, Lu Zhizhi was born.
Two things should be added here: Lu Jiusi's eldest son, Lu Huanzhi, repeatedly tried unfavorably in the examination field, abandoned his meritorious name and traveled to study, and became a famous scholar, and the world respected him as "Mr. Shantang". When traveling around the world, he became acquainted with Lu You, a great poet of the distant ancestors and the same sect, and had a close relationship. When Fang Weng was an official in Fuzhou, he often went to Qingtian to meet with JiuSi, Jiu Shao, and Huan Zhi. In the fifth year of Qiandao (1169), Lu Jiuling was transferred to the "Professor of Guiyang Army", but his stepmother Deng Shi Shangjian, who was pro-old And Far away, did not go up; and the tradition of changing the "soldiers" of the Xingguo Army in China has a long history. In the two Song Dynasties, the historical task of the "soldiers" was to carry forward the past and open up the future. Especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, two "salvation" tasks (saving the saint and saving the country) fell on the shoulders of the "soldiers". The mission of the times and the forces of social habits are still taking the "road of examination" in Lalu Jiuyuan. However, Lu Jiuyuan maintained a "childlike heart" in his adolescence, just like Mencius said: "Those who are adults, those who do not lose their pure heart." ”
Lu Jiuyuan has always been a "sober person" in history.
