This book aims to remember the pioneers who made outstanding contributions to Guizhou. The author selects dozens of figures who have made outstanding achievements in guizhou's political, economic, cultural, and transportation fields from the many officials of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and wrote for them the Spring and Autumn Period and the erection of tree monuments, reproducing their moral personality, talent and insight, highlighting their meritorious deeds and strategies for governing Qian, so as to help readers learn from the past and the present, see the wise and think together, and remember those pioneers who have made outstanding contributions to Guizhou by entering Qian.
First, many accomplished officials who entered Guizhou in the Ming and Qing dynasties, merchants who operated trade, armies who brought advanced farming techniques, and wu and Chu elites who gathered and gradually emigrated to Qian... These immigrants from other provinces entered Guizhou and developed Guizhou's diverse culture after a period of run-in and integration with the indigenous peoples.
Second, the officials who entered the Qian Dynasty and "the soldiers of Junjie" who were "more handsome than those in Zhongzhou" in Guizhou in the Ming and Qing Dynasties became famous for their "ten thousand horses like dragons out of Guizhou". "Wild weather and rain, bird road silkworm bushes" and "barren land", this is the image of ancient Guizhou in the eyes of the Zhongyuan scholars. Most of the land in ancient Guizhou has also been ruled by feudal people, far from the central dynasty, closed and backward. In the eleventh year of Ming Yongle (1413 AD), Guizhou was officially established as a province. Gu Cheng of Weizhen Qianzhong, Wang Yangming, who preached in Guiyang, and He Changling, who revitalized Guizhou's culture and education, either went thousands of miles into Guizhou, or fed back to the homeland, threw themselves into the land of Qianzhong, took safeguarding national unity and territorial integrity as their duty, took the prosperity of Guizhou's economy and the revitalization of Guizhou's culture and education as their own responsibility, led immigrants from various provinces, and with strong will and extraordinary wisdom, prospered one town after another, opened up thousands of roads, and made outstanding contributions to The development of Guizhou.
Third, under the guidance of Chen Futong, the "old man of culture" in Guizhou Province, Xiao Sichun turned his attention to Ming and Qing officials, selected dozens of people from them, and wrote about the Spring and Autumn Period for his tree monument. In this book, readers and friends can read about how officials from the Ming and Qing dynasties changed the local environment in the course of development and construction, how they cultivated talents in the process of promoting education and education, and how they resolved ethnic contradictions in handling ethnic relations. Their spirit of overcoming thorns and thorns and working hard is worthy of the admiration of future generations, and their great deeds and personality charm are worth remembering by future generations.
All in all, as a late scholar in Southern Qiannan, I originally wanted to have this writing plan, in order to build Guizhou cultural self-confidence, excavate the spiritual connotation of Guizhou's ancient culture, explain the precious spiritual wealth of Guizhou's sages, and empower Guizhou's cultural development! After reading the "Trilogy of Guizhou Characters of the Ming and Qing Dynasties" written by Xiao Sichun, I wanted to do what I wanted, and some sages had already done pioneering work! However, he only selected dozens of people who had made outstanding achievements in Guizhou's political, economic, cultural, and transportation fields from among the many officials who entered the Ming and Qing dynasties, wrote the Spring and Autumn Period and erected a biography of the tree monument for them, reproduced their moral character, talent and insight, demonstrated their meritorious deeds, and strategy for governing Guizhou, so as to prepare readers to learn from the past and the present, see the wise and think together, and remember those pioneers who made outstanding contributions to Guizhou by entering Qian. I think we still have a lot of room to open up, although Xiao Sichun already has pearls in front, but it is a popular reading book that benefits the general public. I hope that in the next ten years, I will write a more in-depth academic work.
