Gu Yanwu, a native of Kunshan, Jiangsu Province. Kunshan has a Tinglin Lake, so everyone calls him Mr. Tinglin. Now there is a Tinglin Park in Kunshan, which is completely a memorial to him, but his specific hometown is in a place called "Thousand Lights" in Kunshan. A thousand lamps, that is, a thousand lamps, seem to be in a darkness full of stars, what a poetic place name.
There is his former residence, there is his tomb, when you travel, if you go to Kunshan, Suzhou, Zhouzhuang, you can stop by to take a look.
Why does Gu Yanwu have a high opinion of Huang Zongxi?
After reading Huang Zongxi's "Ming Yi to Be Visited", Gu Yanwu wrote a letter to Huang Zongxi with great excitement, saying: I read your book again and again, and only then did I know that the world is not empty, that China can be revived in the shadow of previous dynasties, and that the prosperity of ancient times can also be slowly restored.
This rating is very high. In his letter, he also said that he wrote a book of "Rizhilu", in which at least 60% or 70% of the views coincided with yours.
When he wrote this letter, he happened to be writing a preface to the Rizhilu, so he felt that this was a friend who was very similar to his personality and point of view at that time.
Gu Yanwu surpassed Huang Zongxi in three aspects
In the first aspect, the Rizhilu he mentioned in his letter had a very great influence on Chinese intellectual circles. The words mentioned in the book are called "the rise and fall of the world, and the pirate has the responsibility", which is almost no one in the Chinese cultural circles who do not know, right? But these few words appear in the Rizhilu.
This saying that "the world rises and falls, and the pirate has the responsibility" has been widely spread in the folk, spread to the point that it can be almost equal to the aphorism of Kong Meng, and this is really the core of Gu Yanwu's own thinking. For a long time, other scholars, including Huang Zongxi, have not left such aphorisms and aphorisms, which can infect the whole society so much and inspire the whole world so much, which is the first point he surpassed Huang Zongxi.
In the second aspect, the second place where he surpassed Huang Zongxi was that he created history, canon, politics, philosophy, literature, astronomy, geography, economy, military, etc. in his works such as "Rizhilu", "Tianxia County Guoli Disease Book", "Zhaoyu Zhi", "Five Books of Phonology", and "Rhyme Correction", all of which must be based on words, down-to-earth dredging of the source of flow, simple and unpretentious, and became the source of the establishment of the "examination of evidence" by the Qianjia school in later generations.
"Qianjia Kao Zhi Xue", which is generally called "Pu Xue", has enabled Chinese history and Chinese culture to be cleaned up, corrected, and dredged on a large scale, and the credit is really great, and Gu Yanwu's merits should be placed in the first place, and he is sincerely admired by future generations of well-educated people!
In the third aspect, his road went further than Huang Zongxi,he took a pseudonym, took two horses, two mules dragged some books, and traveled all over Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places. While looking for his own unread books, he also examines the mountains, geography, and customs.
Finally, he also made a special investigation of the geographical situation of strategic places such as Shanhaiguan, Juyongguan, Gubeikou, Changli, and Jizhou, asked retired veterans, and explored the reasons why the military structure has been defeated since the Song Dynasty. This was something that many outstanding intellectuals, including Huang Zongxi, did not do at that time.
Yu Qiuyu is one of the most influential Chinese writers in the world and a cultural scholar. There are two kinds of wealth created by human beings, material and cultural. Material wealth can only be inherited by blood and created by individuals, while spiritual culture can transcend the obstacles of time, space and blood through language, so that anyone on the earth can obtain the wealth of the master.
