Dai Zhen (1724-1777)

Dai Zhen, Dai Dongyuan (1724-1777), a native of Longfu, Xiuning (present-day Tunxi District), Anhui Province, came from a poor and negative family.

Dai Dongyuan was even more of a thinker

From his childhood when he was a child, Dai Dongyuan struggled to find out in the iron curtain of feudal despotism in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, solemnly examined the "Cheng Zhu Lixue" and its metamorphosis after becoming a ruler's governing philosophy, and with the fearless courage of a madman, issued "Cool officials kill people with the law, and later Confucianism kills people with reason, and death is even more hopeless!" Shouts of grief and indignation, stone breaking the sky, deafening and deafening! "Original Good", "Introduction", "Mencius Character Righteousness Neglect Evidence", the composition is grand, and the "theory" is in the study of ZTE...

Dai Dongyuan's correction of "Song Ming's theory", his questioning of the hierarchical order of "respecting and inferiority" in the past few thousand years, the construction of the philosophy of "feeling the people and fulfilling the people's desires", and the endorsement of the people's livelihood demands...

Hongdao, defilement, and righteousness, this pioneer of modern Enlightenment ideas rushed out of the pile of Qianjia's examination of the old paper, brought a glimmer of dawn to China's feudal society, and together with Cao Xueqin, became the "double bibi of the times".

After 148 years of Dai Zhen, Lu Xun shouted that feudal society "eats people", and the new cultural movement opened a new journey for the Chinese nation.

The leader called for "combining Marxism with China's excellent traditional culture," Dai Dongyuan's ideology and scholarship and China's excellent traditional culture are in the same vein, and Dai Dongyuan "embraces the talents of the world, and his theory and governance are based on enriching the people."

It is another precious spiritual wealth for us to build socialism with Chinese characteristics and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation today.
