He is the author of "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" and "Collection of Relics of Ji Wenda".
1, a sigh Ji Xiaolan's first love was stifled
Ji Xiaolan read a book, and the maid Wen Luan played the piano on the side
Ji Xiaolan had a large number of wives and concubines throughout his life, and there were a total of eight women around him. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a wind and current. However, if we look at his lifelong emotional experiences. You will find that he gave all his love to his first love, the maid named Wen Luan.
Wen Luan was a yahuan that Ji Xiaolan's fourth uncle bought from Cangzhou, and he looked particularly watery, his two large eyes were black and bright, and his pink face was like a blooming begonia. The young Ji Xiaolan liked it at a glance, played with Wen Luan every day, and also taught Wen Luan to read and read, Wen Luan was talented and intelligent, and he understood it after listening to it once. The fourth aunt saw that Wen Luan was so intelligent and had such a relationship with Ji Xiaolan, so she jokingly said to Ji Xiaolan: "When you have obtained a meritorious name in the future, I will match Wen Luan to you." A joke made Ji Xiaolan stay trapped for a lifetime. Under a beautiful begonia tree, two unworldly teenagers promised each other their lives.
For the sake of merit, Ji Xiaolan chose to go to Beijing to take the exam, and the two also made an appointment with each other, and waited until the day when Yijin returned to his hometown to marry Wenluan. However, when Ji Xiaolan left home, Wen Luan's brother blocked him, so that the two could no longer contact each other. These two lovers, just like this, broke off the letter. Wen Luan, who was waiting at home, suffered from the disease of lovesickness. Eventually depression ends. A few years later, when the gongs and drums were noisy and the fame was cast, Ji Xiaolan returned home and learned that Wen Luan had passed away, and the love that belonged to him ended abruptly. He was heartbroken, and Wen Luan became the pain of his life. Nowadays, when we walk into Ji Xiaolan's former residence, we can see that on both sides of the inner courtyard, there were originally two begonias, and now only one tree remains on the east side, which is still thick and strong, with flowers like brocade, and there are statues of Ji Xiaolan reading books and the maid Wen Luan playing the piano on the side of the courtyard Yongdao Lawn. According to legend, the begonia was planted by Ji Xiaolan for Wen Luan, in order to express his thoughts on Wen Luan.
2, the "Four Libraries Complete Book" compiled by Ji Xiaolan under the direction of the second sigh is a castration of the Chinese national culture
Regarding the Siku Quanshu, Lu Xun, Tang Tao and others once evaluated it as a masterpiece of castrating ancient Chinese culture. In order to compile the Siku Quanshu, Qianlong sent people to burn 700,000 ancient Chinese books. No wonder the historian Wu Han said: "The Qing dynasty compiled the Siku Quanshu and the ancient books died!" When criticizing the ming and qing dynasties and the republic of China literati, Lu Xun said: "If nothing else now, just looking at the means by which the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties wrote on Chinese is enough to be thrilling." Not to mention the total destruction, the extraction, and so on, the most insidious thing is to delete and modify the content of the ancient book. (Lu Xun's "Miscellaneous Talk After Illness.") ）
The extent of Qianlong's book destruction this time far exceeded the "book burning pit Confucianism" during the Qin Shi Huang period, and it was also the largest book burning incident in history. The Qing Dynasty rulers began to vigorously promote the prison of writing, using various means to monitor the people, and once they found that there were disrespectful royal and ruling words, the people who wrote this article or said this would be immediately executed, and they would also be connected to the Nine Tribes. This book burning incident lasted for more than 20 years until the completion of the "Four Libraries".
3, three sighs the former residence is messy
The former residence of Ji Xiaolan, now No. 241, Kouxi Street, Zhushi, Beijing, belongs to the municipal cultural relics protection unit. It was originally the residence of Yue Fei's twenty-first grandson, Yongzheng Shi's powerful minister, and Yue Zhongqi, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.

Ji Xiaolan lived here for two periods, from 11 to 39 years old and from 48 to 82 years old, for a total of 62 years.
After Ji Xiaolan died in 1805, his descendants "cut the house half-rent" with Huang Antao, and since then they have changed owners repeatedly.
In the 1920s, Liu Shaobai, a member of the Beiyang government, lived in the area, which was then called "Liu Mansion".
In 1930, Liu Mansion became a secret liaison station between the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Hebei Provincial Party Committee in Shanghai.
In 1931, Mei Lanfang, Yu Shuyan, Li Shizeng, Zhang Boju and others established the Beijing National Opera Society in the area, which later became the site of the "Fu Liancheng" Peking Opera Class. After 1949, it was the seat of the Democratic Construction Association and the Xuanwu Party School.
In 1958, it was changed to Jinyang Restaurant. It was only opened to the public after the reconstruction of the former residence in 2003.
Inside, there are "Jingcheng Ji Clan Genealogy", "Commentary on the Heart Carved Dragon", "Anthology of The Legends", "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" and Ming and Qing porcelain donated by Ji Qingyi, the granddaughter of Ji Xiaolan VI.
At present, in the small former residence of Ji Xiaolan, there is a red exhibition (a room of about 10 square meters) at the secret liaison station between the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Hebei Provincial Party Committee in Shanghai.
* Fu Lian Cheng's exhibition (a room of about 10 square meters).
* Ji Xiaolan Memorial Hall and Hall
After crossing the aisle, there is a bookstore, a place selling souvenirs and drinking tea.
There are many people from all over the world who come to see Ji Xiaolan's former residence, so it is very crowded and chaotic.
