Zhang Wenyan
When you calculate the story of the surname, the most important thing is the talent. In addition to the ancestor Ding Tui mentioned above, the descendants of the Ding clan are full of talents, the Dacun Ding clan, since the Ming Dynasty, the two dynasties are prominent.
After Ding Tui settled in Zangma Mountain, he had a good godson. According to Mr. Ding Shaohua, in the second and third dynasties, he was a Confucian and participated in the examination, which laid the foundation for the status of Ding's poetry and etiquette house. By the fourth ding ke, at the age of twelve, he was admitted to Xiucai and became the first representative literati in the Ding family. After that, the Ding clan was both humanistic and martial, and many meritorious officials and writers had many merits.
Next, we will tell several of the ancestors of the Ding clan, whose stories are still praised by future generations.
The Ding family has been talented for generations, so famous people can always find a combination. For example, this group of father and son files is a well-known figure in the literary world.
Ding Weining, the seventh ancestor of the Ding clan, the character Ru'an, the number Shaobin, in 1565 (the forty-fourth year of Ming Jiajing) jinshi. He was intelligent since he was a child, and he was a weak champion in the township, and he was a mid-level soldier just after twenty years. He was directly subordinate to Qingyuan County (present-day Hebei Province) Qingyuan County, Zhi County, promoted to Sichuan Province, and was promoted to inspector of Sichuan Province. In 1586 (the fourteenth year of the Wanli Calendar), he was given the title of Deputy Envoy of Huguang Xiangxiang.com. The following year, because of his framing, he resigned his official post and returned to Li, lived in seclusion in the Nine Immortals Mountain, and was posthumously awarded Wen LinLang and Zhongxian Dafu.
He was a clean and honest official, and he was not only a famous scholar during the Jiajing Wanli Period, but also had a great deal of literary creation, and created a large number of works in his lifetime. But although he can write poetry, do not chant bitterly, and do not save manuscripts, now you can see the prose "Reconstruction of Longwan Town Inspection Division", poems "Yan Ming Fu Beckons To Langyatai Sea Temple", "Guan Hai Xing", "Xueji Transcendent Platform Step Moon", "Climbing the Arctic Platform Nostalgia" and so on.
However, if you mention a work, I believe people will be surprised, that is, "Golden Plum Bottle". Regarding who the author of this book, Lan Ling Xiaoxiaosheng, is, the literary circles have been arguing endlessly. In recent years, relevant experts and scholars have based on the relics of Ming Dynasty calligraphy and paintings, Fang Zhi, genealogies, inscriptions and other cultural relics that are little known to the people, organically combined solid historical facts with meticulous arguments, and referred to Ding Weining's life experience, and for the first time launched the author of "Golden Plum Bottle", "Ding Weining Said", and was recognized by the academic community. Shandong scholar Wang Xihe also concluded through the analysis and examination of the "Golden Plum Bottle" that the "Golden Bottle Plum" contains a large number of Shandong Zhucheng dialects, and its author Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng should be Ding Weining, who lived in seclusion in wulian mountain (Lanlingyu).
Next, Ding Yaokang, the son of Ding Weining.
Ding Yaokang (号野鹤, 1599-1669) was resourceful and clever as a teenager, but the road to the imperial examination was not smooth. His father and grandfather Ding Chun were both jinshi, and some of the six brothers were also among the best, but he repeatedly failed. Later, he had to go into teaching and was depressed.
As the saying goes, the misfortune of blessing lies on it, and the blessing of misfortune depends on it. It was the bitterness of his mood, and the corruption of state affairs in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the frequent wars and chaos that made him think of the spring, put his enthusiasm into the pen, wrote a series of more influential works, and became a generation of great writers and dramatists.
Ding Yaokang's "ambition and arrogance" and diligent pen cultivation were inevitable in that era, and in the early Qing Dynasty, the literary prison prevailed, and he could not escape the doom. As soon as "Continuing The Golden Bottle Plum" came out, he was arrested, imprisoned for 120 days, and released after being rescued by friends. After his death, the Qing court banned the book several times.
Ding Yaokang's "Tale of awakening marriage" is a milestone in the history of China's ancient novels after literary masterpieces such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", and "Journey to the West".
