In the nearly three hundred years of the qing dynasty's history, very few people have received the super honor of "Wenzhong". The most top match is of course "Wenzheng", which is one level higher than "Wenzhong", and the number is only 8, which seems to be more scarce "Wenzheng". But looking at the comparison of these two super nickname candidates, I can't help but sigh, or "Wen Zhong" is worth money.
The 8 "Wenzheng" dukes, except for Zeng Guofan, several other figures who are not considered to have reversed the history of Qiankun's fame, several of them have won this honor by virtue of being the teachers of the emperor's old son, Wen cannot be an anbang, Wu cannot be fixed, Zeng Wenzheng can do both. Not to mention that there is also a Cao Zhenyong, dim and sleek, such a person can actually be favored by the Daoguang Emperor and thus get the title of "Wenzheng" after his death, which shows that the "Wenzheng" of the Qing Dynasty really does not live up to its name.
Of the Qing Dynasty's ministers with the title of "Wenzheng", only Zeng Guofan deserved it
On the other hand, the ministers whose titles were "Wen Zhong" were mostly the pillars of the country, and even if they could not become the figures who recreated the Qing Dynasty and the head of Zhongxing like Zeng Guofan, at least they could make great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, or become famous in the world, or set an example for future generations. In addition to Chen Baochen and Liang Dingfen, the widows of the last two emperors at the end, it can be said that the gold content of "Wen Zhong" is much higher than that of "Wen Zheng".
We analyze one by one the ministers of the Qing Dynasty who were officially named "Wen Zhong", a total of 10 samples, in addition, Chen Baochen and Liang Dingfen were all posthumously posthumously by the deposed emperor Puyi during the Republic of China, regardless of the legitimacy of this "pursuit", at least the Qing Dynasty has died, they have no merit at all, can not be compared with these 10 famous ministers, so they are not on the list.
Sony in the Kangxi Dynasty
Let's see if the deeds of these 10 people are comparable to those who are nicknamed "Wenzheng".
Sony:
Sonny was the founding hero of the Qing Dynasty, the elder of the Four Dynasties, the Manchurian Zhenghuang Bannerman, a master of battle, and an intermediary in reconciling the dispute between dorgon and Hauge, who played an important role in Shunzhi's smooth accession to the throne, and was also the head of the four auxiliary ministers appointed by the Shunzhi Emperor before his death. The Sony family was a famous hao family in the early Qing Dynasty, and its influence was extremely great. His son Suo Etu later assisted the Kangxi Emperor and held power for many years.
Evaluation: As one of the most influential ministers in the early Qing Dynasty, he mediated the famous king, supported the new emperor, was loyal and diligent, and was famous in the history of "Qing", which was completely worthy of the title of "Wen Zhong".
Fucha Fu Heng
Fu Heng was a foreign relative, the brother-in-law of Emperor Gaozong Qianlong. However, this imperial prince was famous for fighting, supervising the Battle of Jinchuan, quelling the rebellion of the Dzungars, passing through Yunnan, and fighting in Burma. He was awarded the Title of First Class, Chief Minister of Military Aircraft, and a fellow of the Bohol Temple. His son Fu Kang'an's life trajectory is surprisingly consistent with Fu Heng's, and he is an expert on ethnic issues and a defender of national unity. However, Fukang Anchen's name is "Wenxiang", which is a little worse than Laozi.
Evaluation: Fu Heng has been an eunuch for generations, quelling rebellions, Jingbian dingrui, basically spending the rest of his life on horseback, and spending his whole life in conquest and death. "Wen Zhong" is the best summary of his life.
Zhao Dan's classic image of Lin Zexu
Lin Zexu
Lin Zexu's name is well known to everyone, Humen sells cigarettes, fights against Yingyi, pays attention to people's livelihood, runs Xinjiang, and is vigilant against Tsarist Russia, and each contribution is enough to leave a name in history. Lin Zexu was a Han Chinese, a Fujian Marquis official, with excellent learning, and was born in the Hanlin Academy. He successively served as the Governor of Huguang, the Governor of Liangguang, the Minister of Chincha, the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the Governor of Yungui, and died on the way to suppress the rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Evaluation: Modern national heroes, open their eyes to see the world's first person, if Lin Zexu's "Wenzhong" nickname is not enough, then there is no enough.
Wen Xiang
Wen Xiang is relatively unknown, but he is a very important figure in modern Chinese history. Wen Xiang, Guar Jia, Manchurian ZhenghongQi people. He successively served as a minister of works, soldiers, and households, a university scholar, a minister of military aircraft, and a prime minister for state affairs. He was close to Prince Gong Yishi and supported Empress Dowager Cixi in bowing to the government. He is the representative figure and leader of the Western affairs movement in the central government. Officer to Minister of Military Aircraft, Scholar of Wu Yingdian University.
Evaluation: Wen Xiang, as a representative figure of the Western affairs movement in the central government, has made great contributions to promoting China's modern history. The nickname "Wen Zhong" is an appropriate evaluation of Wen Xiang.
Late Qing Dynasty courtier, Shi Dakai terminator Luo Bingzhang
Zhou Tianjue
Zhou Tianjue was a Han Chinese, a native of Dong'a, Shandong. Successively served as the governor of Caoyun, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the governor of Huguang, etc., and has joined the ranks of the big members from Yipin. But his career was not smooth and he had ups and downs. The Taiping Rebellion arose, and Zhou Tianjue went to Guangxi to participate in counterinsurgency activities, but failed to effectively prevent the Taiping Army from moving north, and he himself became angry and died of illness.
Evaluation: Zhou Tianjue was conscientious, his official reputation was good, he was loyal to the king, he was nearly eighty years old but still charged ahead, and he died of illness on the way to the battle, and his spirit was gratifying. In this sense, although he did not make an earth-shattering career, he did so in order to inspire future generations. It is also understandable to say that "Wen Zhong" is also understood.
Luo Bingzhang
Luo Bingzhang is of Han ethnicity, a native of Huaxian County, Guangdong Province. Interestingly, his enemy Hong Xiuquan was also from Huaxian County, Guangdong. Shu Jishi and Hanlin Academy were born as editors, and became the governor of Sichuan and the co-founder of the university. Together with Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, Zhang Zhidong, etc., he was known as the eight famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty, who was honest and honest, and had quite a political achievement. His greatest historical achievement was to suppress the Taiping Rebellion of the Wing King Shi Dakai, together with Zeng Guofan, known as the East and West Shuangbi, which had a great influence.
Evaluation: Political achievements, honest voice, battle achievements, influence, and the capture of enemy chieftains, no matter which aspect, Luo Bingzhang is worthy of the sub-top title of "Wen Zhong".
Hulin wing image
Hulin Wing
Hu Linyi is a native of Yiyang, Hunan, with the character Runzhi (he has a Hunan fellow who is a great man in the world, and the table character is also called Runzhi, but the difference between one word). During his tenure as an official, he achieved very good political achievements, rectified and rectified, and recommended talents, which attracted the attention of the time. After the rise of the Taiping Rebellion, he devoted himself to suppressing bandits and had a strong friendship with Zeng Guofan. He also met the famous ministers Li Hongzhang, Yan Jingming and Zuo Zongtang. He is one of the founders and elders of Xiangjun. However, he did not succeed in his career and died of illness in office.
Evaluation: Hu Linyi is the predecessor of the Xiang Army, Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang and others are still behind, outstanding merits, and Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Peng Yulin are the same as the four famous ministers of ZTE. Overworked into illness, worried about the situation, hemoptysis and death, the hero of the world. The "Wen Zhong" of the Tan Dynasty is well deserved.
Li
Li Hongzhang is a Han Chinese, a native of Hefei, Anhui, known as "Li Hefei". A disciple of Zeng Guofan, he was born as a Shujishi of hanlin yuan. In his early years, he joined the shogunate of the Xiang Army, and later established the Huai Army independently, which was the main contributor to the suppression of the rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom; later, after Zeng Guofan, he fought against the Twist Army and finally pacified the giant bandits. After that, he led the Western Affairs Movement, accelerated the process of China's modern name, and maneuvered with the great powers to reduce China's losses. He was the only pillar of the late Qing Dynasty.
Evaluation: Pingfa rebellion, swinging bandits, rejuvenating foreign affairs, running diplomacy, and his merits directly followed his teacher Zeng Wenzhenggong. It should be said that Li Hongzhang was the one with the most gold content among all the dozen or so people in the Qing Dynasty who were awarded the title of "Wen Zhong".

Ronglu
Rong Lu, Guar Jia clan, Manchurian Zhengbai banner people, belong to the three banners, for the official opportunities are relatively more. He was not born into the army, but his father and ancestors were killed in battle, and zu yin entered the army. Because he offended his former allied brother Weng Tonggong, he was relegated to Xi'an for many years. After returning to Beijing, he gained the trust of Empress Dowager Cixi, the Guangxu Emperor, and Prince Gong Yishi, and promptly smashed Kang Liangtan's plot to kill the garden, which was a key figure in Yuan Shikai's succession after Li Hongzhang.
Evaluation: Rong Luguan to the Prime Minister Yamen Minister, Wenhuadian University Scholar (Prime Minister), and his daughter was the birth mother of the later Xuantong Emperor, who repeatedly saved the situation at critical moments. After his death, he was given the title of "Wen Zhong" and had a full gold content.
Shen Zhaolin
Shen Zhaolin, of Han ethnicity, was a native of Qiantang, Zhejiang (present-day Hangzhou, Zhejiang). He was born in Hanlin Temple. From the officer to the minister of military aircraft, the deeds of Shen Zhaolin are not prominent, but it can be seen that this is a minister who is worried about the country and the people. The "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" records that he actively resisted the Rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and put forward a proposal for the practice of joint operations by the local township brave regiments, and if this proposal was not adopted, there would be no Zeng Wenzhenggong. The Anglo-French coalition invaded China, and Shen Zhaolin was an official who strongly advocated resistance. Later, he went to the northwest to suppress rebellions and deal with ethnic issues. On the way back to the division, a flash flood broke out and he was killed in the line of duty.
Evaluation: Shen Zhaolin was called "Wen Zhong", which may be more in the sense that he died in the king's affairs, and the incentive effect is greater than the role of the coffin, which is somewhat similar to the situation of Zhou Tianjue. But after all, he made a lot of contributions, and dedicated his limited life to the Qing Dynasty to which he was loyal. Therefore, this "Wenzhong" nickname can also be understood.
Ronglu Film and Television Image (Towards the Republic)
After analyzing the ten representative "Wen Zhong" of the Qing Dynasty, we will find that in addition to Zhou Tianjue and Shen Zhaolin, who do not have too many glorious deeds, the other 8 are all temporary choices, which can be described as heroes created by the times, and the nickname of "Wen Zhong" given to them is completely appropriate and can withstand the test, even Zhou Tianjue and Shen Zhaolin, there are also outstanding points, not wasted names.
From this we can conclude that the "Wenzheng" of the Qing Dynasty contained less gold than that of "Wenzhong", because at least 9 and a half of the ten "Wenzhong" were qualified; and the beauty of "Wenzheng", except for Zeng Guofan, was not worthy.
