Wen Tianxiang
I regard Wen Tianxiang as a special topic, not Wen Tianxiang's ideological and academic contributions in history, but his integrity. If you want to talk about ideological learning, there was a Zhu Xi in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is a great Confucian of Confucianism after Confucius and Mencius. But Zhu Xi's thoughts and ideas, I think he is taking our country and people into the ditch, so I did not introduce him. Zhu Xi's character and knowledge are not said, each author has his own value orientation, and I have the responsibility to inform the young people of the shining stars in history and become a beacon on your way forward.
"Over Zero Ding Yang"
When the Yuan army invaded the Southern Song Dynasty, the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty issued an edict to the subjects of the Southern Song Dynasty to organize an army to serve the king. Wen Tianxiang received the edict, tears poured down, and immediately thought of organizing an army of more than 10,000 people. As a former minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang had a good personal life, but the country had difficulties, so he lowered the standard of living to a minimum and donated all his family property for military expenses. He said: When sharing the happiness of others, we should also share the sorrows of others, and when we eat other people's meals, we must go to the soup for others. He organized an army in his hometown of Jiangxi, and when his army reached the capital city of Lin'an, Lin'an had already fallen. He then accompanied Wang Shijie and Lu Xiufu to take the little emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty to the southern Guangdong, where Wen Tianxiang was defeated and captured in the Lufeng region of Guangdong. Zhang Hongfan, a General of the Yuan Dynasty who captured Wen Tianxiang, asked Wen Tianxiang to write a letter to persuade Wang Shijie and others to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty, and Wen Tianxiang wrote "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang": Once the hardships met, Gange fell to the stars around him. The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is fluttering, and the life is floating and raining. The panic beachhead said trepidation, zero Ding Yang sighed zero Ding. Life since ancient times who has not died, leave Dan heart to sweat and green. The "hardships encountered a sutra" in "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang" means that people, because of reading, have backbone, thoughts, ideas, and feelings, will not see the wind and steer, will not go with the flow, will not bow their heads in the face of snobbery, and therefore may also suffer from worldly oppression and suffer misfortune. There are many such examples: such as Chen Duxiu, Gu Zhun, and the martyrs who died in the White Mansion in Zha Di Dong. After the Battle of Yashan, the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty jumped into the sea, the Southern Song Dynasty fell, Zhang Hongfan put wine in the army to invite Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Hongfan said to Wen Tianxiang: "The loyalty and filial piety of the ministers have been fulfilled, if you can change your attitude and serve the Emperor of the Great Yuan like the Song Dynasty, you will not lose the position of prime minister." Wen Tianxiang said with tears in his eyes: "The death of the country cannot be saved, as a courtier, there are more than one sins in death, how dare you have two hearts and secretly live?" Zhang Hongfan sent Wen Tianxiang to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty (present-day Beijing), and Wen Tianxiang went on a hunger strike for eight days and did not starve to death before eating. When he arrived in Beijing, Kublai Khan heard someone say: "Among the Southern Song Dynasty people, no one can compare with Wen Tianxiang." Kublai Khan repeatedly asked people to persuade Wen Tianxiang to come out and become prime minister. Wen Tianxiang firmly refused, only asking for death. Wen Tianxiang was imprisoned in Beijing for three years, and Kublai Khan was finally disappointed and ordered Wen Tianxiang to be killed. When Wen Tianxiang was killed, he bowed to the south, and his trick was: Kong Yue Chengren, Meng Yue took righteousness, but his righteousness was exhausted, so Ren Zhi. Read the books of the sages, what you have learned, and now and after that, you are almost worthy! When Wen Tianxiang was imprisoned, he wrote the famous "Song of Righteous Qi". Mao Zedong's father was a local rich man, but Mao Zedong's mother, Wen Qimei, was a family with roots, and after her family was Wen Tianxiang, everyone in the Wen family had to recite Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteous Qi". When Mao Zedong was a child, he studied at his grandmother's house, and sometimes the children of the Wen family had conflicts with Mao Zedong and asked Mao Zedong: You say that you are a member of our Wen family, can you recite the "Song of Righteous Qi"? Wen Tianxiang's temperament is like a long rainbow, and righteousness runs through thousands of autumns.
