For today's Shouguang people, An Zhiyuan is undoubtedly great, and if he had not presided over the compilation and completion of the Shouguang County Chronicle in the thirty-seventh year of the Qing Kangxi Dynasty (1698 AD), then many Shouguang people would have a crisis of "identity" identity.
Where did the 2,100-year history of Shouguang County come from? It is derived from the "Chronicle of Shouguang County" compiled by An Zhiyuan. An Zhiyuan suffered many blows and tribulations in his old man's life, but he adhered to the indomitable belief, and his spirit was surprisingly exuberant. With the simple and just values inherent in the people, he used it to record the burning and plundering of the Han people by the Manchu Qing Iron Horse, boldly exposed the crime of feudal officials squeezing the blood and sweat of the toiling people, dared to speak out without any scruples, and was willing to risk killing heads and lives to disregard, and wrote a history to show future generations.
"I don't dare to blame the ancients to obey me, and I don't dare to deceive future generations with self-confidence." The vein left by An Zhiyuan has long been integrated into the blood of the Shouguang people.
More than 300 years of history have gone, and this very rare "Shouguang County Chronicle" not only has a profound impact on the historical reform of Shouguang and the promotion of Shouguang culture, but also enjoys a high reputation in the minds of today's Shouguang people. The colorful, ordinary, prosperous and precious true stories and heroic characters in the history of Shouguang have been passed down to this day and continue to be passed on to future generations, and we should thank Mr. An Zhiyuan.
An Zhiyuan devoted his life to the collation and creation of local culture, infinitely loved the history and culture of his hometown, learned the five cars of wealth, the history of Botong Classics, poetry and song, and the words and words were rich and refined... The Talented Son of Qing County, Qianqiu Wenzong An Zhiyuan, can be called the "Sima Qian" of the Shouguang people. The long history and culture of Shouguang and the spread of records have contributed to AnZhiyuan.
An Zhiyuan was born in 1627, died in 1701, the character Jingzi, also known as Panshi, alias Humble Stone Old Man, Jicheng Shi Shuo, Yu Wenjie, a famous scholar and literary scholar of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a native of Anjia Village, Jitai Town, Shouguang City. At present, there are more than 47 volumes of works in circulation, and the representative works "Shouguang County Chronicle" have 32 volumes, which were initially "listed as national first-class cultural relics"; the works are included in the general compendium of the "Four Libraries", occupying an indispensable place in the history of Chinese literature.
Looking at the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are very few people like An Zhiyuan, or even unique. Although he lived in a feudal society more than 300 years ago, he lived like a modern person. Writing the book is a core element of his life, and he has properly purified the genetic genes of Shouguang culture.
Anjia Village, formerly known as Guliu Village, is located in the southwest of Jitai Town, about a stone's throw from the southern city wall of the Right Ji Kingdom. My husband's home is only miles away from An Zhiyuan's former home, and he said that he has been running around his heroic spirit since he was a child. The quaint and dignified and elegant and quiet former residence of An Shi has been subjected to more than 300 years of wind and sun, full of vicissitudes, the original appearance still exists, the first county chronicle in the history of Shouguang, it is An Zhiyuan and the second son An Gang compiled and repaired here.
Shusheng has long had Ling Yunzhi, and his struggle is intended to save the people. An Zhiyuan has experienced many social turmoils and has experienced many troubles on the bumpy road of the world. From the very beginning of reading the Scriptures, I longed to meet the Lord, to show my talents and grand plans, to build a great cause in the world, and to go down in history to show future generations. Like many intellectuals in the prosperous period, he was once keen to take the first place by examination, hoping that one day the title of the golden list would be made, and he would go out of the countryside and save the world.
However, the harsh social reality is the exact opposite of one's own ideals and aspirations. An Zike failed to pass the test, his career was difficult, his ambitions were not rewarded, and he repeatedly failed in the literary field. Later, he finally woke up, abandoned his career, went into a deserted village, embraced Huaiwen, and while cultivating and reading for pleasure, he wrote books and lectures, indignantly exposing and violently attacking the feudal examination system that was full of evil and decay.
There are tens of millions of people in China's Ming and Qing dynasties, and only An Zhiyuan is transparent. Whether inside or outside the official arena or in the court, all literati who still have a conscience in their hearts will thank him. Because it is he who inherits his predecessors and establishes the beautiful values and aesthetic standards of human nature.
An Gong was the number one rural popular cultural person in the Qing Dynasty, reciting books in the evening reading hall, gu liu facing the wind always caring, bad luck born literati, in the face of suffering will go to transcendence, natural cultural instincts penetrate into the skin, flow into blood vessels, carved into the bones. An Zhiyuan threw himself into the arms of the countryside and lived a more comfortable and subsistence life, and no one could pull him back. This is a good start to an gong's great life!
Looking at the long river of Shouguang history, it is the first time that he has set off this huge wave and pushed the rushing cultural trend forward. Whether it is hard work, whether it is poor or poor, it does not matter if you work hard at home. At that time, with his "practical" talent, it was not difficult to live a well-off life. The huge pen that An Zhiyuan used to be admired forever.
The family is not rich, but there is a surplus. Coarse cloth and green clothes patched, three meals a day pure natural, cloudy rainy agricultural leisure season, three or five friends gathered together, chickens prepared vegetables to pour wine and drink, interest in the first time to give new poetry. Natural wind and rain, elegant art, and innocent friendship all belong to the people with simple hearts, and if they are miscellaneous people, they are not worthy of enjoyment.
But all great writers will always look at their predecessors reverently and carefully identify the sages. An Zhiyuan's precious literary works have become a wealth shared by all chinese society.
Tree the world is righteous, and the wind and bones of the world are raised. In 1701, An Zhiyuan died at home at the age of 73. "Doctors and disciples of doctors and even nongjia, near and far, do not mourn, and those who walk and weep are endless, and they have been on the road for thirty years." In Shouguang County in the 16th century, An Zhiyuan's funeral was one of the most solemn and touching. He made a significant contribution to the collation and preservation of the ancient culture of Shouguang, and he left us with an extremely rich cultural heritage, weighing the length of his life by quality, comparable to 500 years.
