On December 28th, Dudu Village, a traditional Chinese ancient village where Zhang's Family Temple and Yu Qingtang are located, a national key cultural relics protection unit, gathered zhang's descendants, representatives of education circles and academic circles from all over the country to participate in the establishment of the Lanxi Zhangmao Research Association and the academic seminar between Wang Yangming and Zhangmao.
Dudu Village is the hometown of the Ming Dynasty thinker and educator Zhang Mao, known as the "Eight Wu Confucian Sect".
Zhang Mao (1436-1521), known as Mr. Fengshan, was also known as The Elder of Haobin in his later years, and a native of Lanxi Dudu Village. He has been a brilliant reader since childhood, 10 years old Nengwen, 14 years old general history, 15 years old to make up for the doctoral disciple. Tomorrow Shun sixth year (1462) township examination won the championship, Chenghua second year 1466) will be the first, give jinshi, selected as Shu Jishi. In the winter of the following year, he was taught Hanlin editing. Later, because of the dissuasion of the superiors, the emperor was furious, and he was demoted to Dangzhi County, a small county in southern Hunan, and then sent to Fujian to inspect, during which time he cleaned up military affairs, cracked down on officials and evils, took justice for the people, opened commerce, opened warehouses to release grain, and helped disaster victims, with considerable political achievements.
When Zhang Mao was 41 years old, he repeatedly resigned from public office, returned to Dudu Village, concentrated on reading and lecturing, and founded the "Fengshan Academy", compiled the first Lanxi County Chronicle, and cultivated a large number of young talents.
When Zhang Mao was 63 years old, the Zhengde Emperor took the throne and asked him to become an official. In the end, he became the Nanjing Taixue Festival, and later served as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.
Zhang Mao wrote a lot of works in his lifetime, including "Fengshan Quotations" and "Fengshan Collection", and the "Lanxi County Chronicle" compiled by him is the earliest historical record of Lanxi. He proposed that students should have the three major responsibilities of "Taoism, Meritorious Deeds, and Articles", which has always touched and inspired the intellectuals of Bawu to work hard for the country and the people, and regard them as the highest realm of life pursuit and an indelible meritorious cause.
Huang Zongxi's "The Case of Ming Confucianism" fully affirms Zhang Fengshan's academic status in the section "Wenyi Zhang Fengshan Mr. Mao": "Since He, Wang, Jin, and Xu, Jinhua has inherited the wind and taken over. Zhang Mao's theory of mental nature inherits the "Cheng Zhu Daoxue" of the Northern Song Dynasty Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi Brothers and Southern Song Dynasty Zhu Xi, and its well-known "big heart and carefulness" theory talks about the basic work of the two theories of "poor theory of qualities" and "cultivation and respect". In the early Qing Dynasty, a famous historian recorded in Vance tong", volume 14 of the "Rulin Sect", that Zhang Mao had formed a "Zhang School".
Zhang Zifeng, president of the Zhangmao Research Association of Lanxi City, said that through the establishment of the Zhangmao Research Association, the organization and integration of all aspects of the forces and resources, the excavation, collation and protection of the Cultural Heritage and Literature of Zhangmao, the promotion and exchange of the Study of Zhangmao Culture, the strengthening of exchanges and cooperation with well-known research groups such as the Yangming Cultural Research Promotion Association, actively carry out activities, make friends, and more people will enter Dudu Village to understand Zhangmao, study Zhangmao, and love Zhangmao, which will make the culture of science bloom with new brilliance in the cultural rejuvenation of the new era.
Chen Liquan, secretary of the party leading group and president of the Ningbo Municipal Academy of Social Sciences and president of the Ningbo Wang Yangming Cultural Research Promotion Association, who was invited to attend the meeting, said that Zhang Mao was one of the most important Taoist leaders in Jinhua, and the Wuxue Zhongxing led by him had a far-reaching impact on the prevalence of the trend of thought in the late Ming Dynasty. He believes that the most valuable "practice of walking" and "applying through the ages" in the Zhangmao Doctrine are the essence of the most practical spirit in the traditional Taoism of Wuxue. "More than 500 years ago, Mr. Yang Ming came to Lanxi to visit the elderly Zhang Mao, who was already famous in the world at that time, to exchange knowledge and experience, and today we represent the Ningbo Yangming Cultural Research Promotion Association to participate in the inaugural meeting of the Zhangmao Research Association, which is another kind of exchange of ideas between the two intellectual giants more than 500 years later. I hope that the Zhangmao Research Association and the Cultural Research Promotion Association will have more exchanges in the future, carry out more cultural visits, and continue to write the good stories of that year together. ”
According to historical records, in the second year of Zhengde (1507), Wang Yangming, a famous thinker of the Ming Dynasty who was at a low point in his life, specially came to Lanxi to visit Zhang Mao, and Wang Yangming honored Zhang Mao as "Fengshan Master". The two felt sorry for each other and exchanged pleasantly for half a month, lighting up the heart lamp for the future Dragon Field Enlightenment. Wang Yangming also wrote the poem "Title Lanxi Shengshou Sect Temple Wall", which achieved a thousand-year-old good story in the literary world. And Wang Yangming and Zhang Mao's proud protégés Tang Long and Fang Taigu were very close friends. In the summer of the sixteenth year of Zhengde (1521), Wang Yangming came to Lanxi for the second time to visit Zhang Mao and exchange ideas again.
Sun Xiaomei, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Nübu Subdistrict in Lanxi City, said: Zhang Mao has done many good things for the country and the people by serving the people wholeheartedly, breaking off unjust imprisonment, running academies, and compiling county records, and so on; in particular, his idea of worrying about the country and loving the people and his sentiment of being indifferent to fame and fortune have influenced generation after generation of literati and volunteers, and have been highly praised by scholars, and are also a rich cultural heritage and valuable spiritual wealth he left to the people of his hometown. The hometown will use Zhangmao's excellent ideology and culture to inspire people, carry forward social righteousness, comprehensively win the battle of comprehensive improvement of the environment in small towns, beautify the living environment of Nübu, and boost the development of tourism in Nübu street.
