Lead the car is an important representative of Suzhou folk scholars, because he never accepts media interviews, so his knowledge is not known. Chen Danqing admires the wooden heart, and the old bricks in the old city respect the lead car
According to the statistics of the Republic of China's "Wu County Chronicle", there were a total of 1031 jinshi in Suzhou in the Ming and Qing dynasties, of which Weike (that is, high-tech figures), such as Huiyuan, Zhuangyuan, Bangyan, Tanhua and Chuanxu, were in the leading position in the country.
The "Qing Dynasty Imperial Examination Records" records that in the 258 years from the opening of the department in the third year of Shunzhi (1646) to the abolition of the imperial examination in the thirtieth year of Guangxu (1904), a total of 114 people were produced in the country, and Suzhou Province had 26 people, accounting for more than one-fifth of the country. At the prefectural level, Suzhou ranks first in the country.
Suzhou is a place where cultural relics are flourishing and where humanities gather; it is worthy of its name.
The reason for this, why? The famous historian Mr. Gu Jiegang wrote in the "Notes on the History of Suzhou": "The prosperity of Suzhou began in Wuyue and the Northern Song Dynasty. In the more than 100 years after the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, Suzhou was "richer than the Tang Dynasty" and "the prosperity of the characters was the southeast crown" ("Wu County's Map Sutra Continuation"). In the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially during the Kangqian period, Suzhou's commodity economy was more developed and had the most titles. It seems that economic prosperity is the premise, "poverty is not socialism", Maoist socialism can only produce the old three, plus seven or eight sample plays. Wherever there are literati, there is only the division between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, the class struggle between you and me. In fact, no matter what doctrine is, it can only be created and instilled in others after eating a full meal, and if even the meal cannot make people full, no matter how well the doctrine is discussed, only those who have their brains in the water will be fooled.
Second, political stability and social order. Since the Song Dynasty, Suzhou has suffered fewer major disasters of war. During the Southern Song Dynasty, there were frequent wars in the north and a stable situation in the south, which provided a good environment for people to learn.
Third, Suzhou attaches great importance to education. The Ming Dynasty literary scholar Wang Jun said in his "Record of Cultivation": "Su Xue is the first in the world, and it is known as deep and broad and beautiful." Feng Guifen, a famous scholar at the end of the Qing Dynasty, said in his "Re-cultivation of Wu County Studies": "Ding Richang, the inspector of the sixth year of Tongzhi, came to Su to take up his post and asked the county people' 'Political general Xi Xian?'" Then the same words are said: 'Building learning first'" In addition to prefectural and county schools, Suzhou has also built many colleges over the centuries.
Fourth, Suzhou is an important place for domestic book collections. For example, the famous Yushan Maojin "Jigu Pavilion", Changshu Qian Qianyi's "Daiyun Lou", Wuxian Huang Pilie's "Hundred Song Dynasties and One Temple", etc., are all famous places in history, which provide convenience for Xinxin students to consult, seek knowledge, and thus promote the growth of talents.
