Sun Qifeng (1584-1675), a scholar of science in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, whose hometown was located in Rongcheng County, Xiong'an New District. Zi Qitai, the number Of Zhong Yuan, in his later years, lectured in Xiafeng Village, Hui County, Henan Province, for more than 20 years, and was known as Mr. Xia Feng. Together with Huang Zongxi and Li Yong (a famous representative of Guan Xue), he was called the three great Confucians of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, but in modern times, with the rise of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hunan, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and Wang Fuzhi became the three major Confucians in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, but Sun Qifeng and Li Yong were not known. Let's take a look at Sun Qifeng today:

His hometown is located in Rongcheng County, present-day Xiong'an New District. He is friendly with Dingxing Lu Shanji and expects to be a sage. At the time of the apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian controlled the government, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, and Zhou Shunchang were arrested, and the three of them were friendly with Lu Shanji, Zhang Guozhong, and Sun Qifeng, and the three of them actively rescued them, and for a while the sound of righteousness shook the world and were known as the "Three Martyrs of Fanyang". At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Qifeng participated in the anti-Qing struggle, repelled the Qing army, and defended his hometown of Rongcheng. After entering the Qing Dynasty, the enclosure movement near Rongcheng intensified, and Sun Qifeng was forced to move away from his hometown, first to Xin'an County in Luoyang, and later to Hui County because he loved the Sumen landscape.

Sun Qifeng moved to Xia Feng in his later years, and when he moved to Hui County, Henan Province, he was already a 60-year-old old man, lived to the age of 92, and taught in Hui County for more than 20 years, which laid the foundation for his position in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, he was recommended several times, and the imperial court was recruited 13 times, but he refused to be an official, and was called "Sun Zhengjun". He loved to lecture and discuss Confucian classics with his disciples, and wrote "Biography of the Rigaku Sect", "Sun Zhengjun's Daily Genealogy", "Reading Yi Dazhi", etc., all of which were completed in Huixian for more than 20 years.
Among the Confucians of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Sun Qifeng was the oldest, a kind and generous old man, and was respected by the world. Gu Yanwu, Fu Shan and other famous artists personally visited him in Xiafeng Village to discuss scholarship. He also sent his own works such as "The Biography of the Rigaku Sect" to Huang Zongxi and other Southeastern Confucians to exchange knowledge. Among the most proud students were Tang Bin (Rebbe Shangshu), Geng Jie (the restorer of Songyang Academy), etc., and Tang Bin was known as the "Famous Minister of Science", and together with Sun Qifeng, he came from the Temple of Confucius.

Sun Qifeng, as the holder of the state science in the late Ming and Qing dynasties, had a great influence in the Qing Dynasty. Liang Qichao said in the "Academic History of China in the Past Three Hundred Years": "Because of his long life, old qualifications, noble personality, sincere temperament, and plain learning, at the same time, people did not disrespect him, and his protégés and children were all over the world." However, with the decline of modern Henan, Sun Qifeng and other Zhongzhou and Beixue Great Confucians were not known. The rise of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hunan in modern times has made Gu Yanwu and Wang Fuzhi famous, especially Wang Fuzhi, who is a celebrity respected by Hunan people such as Zeng Guofan.

Sun Qifeng, as a great Confucian in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, had a great influence, from Tang Bin and Geng Jie in the early Qing Dynasty, Li Tangjie and Wu Ren in the late Qing Dynasty, Xu Shichang and Li Shican in the Republic of China to Ji Wenfu and Hu Siyong in modern times. These have been integrated into the bones of Henan people, and the dross and essences are both. As a descendant of Sun Qifeng, the Sun family of Xiafeng Village is even more "the continuation of filial piety and mountains", and the little children will recite "Xia Feng Song", "Xiaoyoutang Family Training" and "Xiaoyoutang Family Rules".
Sun Qifeng has the wind of Yan Zhao's generous and sad songs, and also has the Heluo Confucian style of the Central Plains, "starting from Haojie, ending with sages", as one of the three major Confucians in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, it is indeed a pity that no one is known. However, with the construction and development of Xiong'an New Area, Sun Qifeng, whose ancestral home is Rongcheng, will be paid more attention to, and we look forward to this great Confucian being praised again.
