Qi Gong, a famous educator, a master of traditional Chinese studies, a calligrapher and painter, a cultural relics appraiser, once served as the director of the Central Research Museum of Literature and History, the honorary chairman of the China Book Association, and a professor of Beijing Normal University, died in Beijing at the age of 93 due to illness at 2:25 on June 30, 2005.
As early as 1978, the 66-year-old Qi Gong wrote his own "Epitaph", and its witty humor was full of words: "Middle school student, associate professor." Bo is not refined, not thorough. Although the name is famous, it is not enough. High is not enough, low is not enough. Paralyzed to the left, Pai zeng right. The surface is slightly rounded and the skin is not thick. The wife is dead, and there is no queen. The mourning is still new, and the illness is the same. Sixty-six, non-lifeless, eight treasure mountains, gradually together. Counting life, ugly. Body and name, all stink. ”
In 1975, Qi Gong's wife, Zhang Baochen, died of illness. More than two months after his wife left, Qi Gong was afraid that his wife would "not find" the way home, so he came to his wife's grave and murmured: "Bao Chen, we finally have our own house, you come home with me... Qi Gong was childless and childless all his life, and after the death of his wife, he has been living a lonely and miserable life.
Every year on the Qingming Festival, he insisted on going to the cemetery to "take" his wife home, and he said to his relatives: "If I leave, I will be buried with Baochen." We will be husband and wife in the next life. ”
The ashes of Mr. Qigong were brought from Babaoshan after the first anniversary of his death and buried in the "Beijing Xiangshan Wan'an Cemetery". Mr. Qi Gong's cemetery covers an area of 3 square meters. The tomb is facing east, looking at the jade spring in front and leaning on the west mountain in the back; the cang pine serves on the left, and the smooth road passes on the right.
Mr. Qi Gong's tombstone, stele and epitaph are unique: the tombstone is an enlarged stone stone stone on one side, made of thick black and shiny marble, engraved with the signature of the Qi Gong standard in the middle of the straight row, the date of birth and death under the name, and then the next line is engraved horizontally with the Qi Gong Fa book "Lady Zhang Baochen", similarly, under the name is also the birth and death year of Zhang. The tombstone does not have upper and lower paragraphs, simple and generous, simple and dignified.
The base of the tombstone is a stretched lotus flower, which is also known as the Lotus Seat in Buddhism. Qi Gong said to himself: From Buddhism and my teacher, I learned that people should be compassionate, compassionate for people, and concern for sentient beings; cherish fraternity and be kind to people...
