Do you know anyone in Tangxi Town?

Through the quaint and deep alleys, step into the elegant temples and feel the rich rural customs ... In it, a little homesickness arises spontaneously. However, it is the rural sages who usually stay in word of mouth that can evoke our homesickness most. I come from Tangxi County, and now I work in Tangxi. Naturally, I have more respect for Tangxi Xiangxian.

I have been to Jiufeng Mountain countless times, and I will stop for a long time when I look for the "Three Sages Hall" in Jiu Feng Zen Temple. The "three sages" are Long, Xu Bozhen and Xu. And the so-called "three sages of Jiu Feng" is certainly well-deserved.

Dragonflies and midges (? —— 24), at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in Longqiu Mountain (now Jiufeng Mountain in Tangxi) and was honored as the ancestor of rural sages by the county people.

Xu Bozhen (4 14-497), born in the late Southern Qi Dynasty, opened the earliest private lecture hall in Jiu Feng and taught more than 1000 students. This shows Xu Bozhen's great influence on rural culture.

Xu (67 1-743), formerly known as Chu Bi, was a scholar in the Tang Dynasty. When he was young, he studied in the cave of Longqiu Mountain. In his later years, he abandoned his official post and returned to the stone house in Longqiu Mountain to write books, and founded Anzheng Bookstore at the foot of the mountain, which is the origin of Jiu Feng Academy.

In recent years, my working relationship has been mobilized frequently, and my current work unit is near the Town God Temple in Tangxi Town. On the recommendation of its director, Mr. Xie, I consulted Tangxi County Records and found an article entitled "Rebuilding the Temple of Famed Officials in Tangxi County" written by Shen Linzhi, a student in Jinhua County (now Shaoxing City) during the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty, including "Tangxi Five Sages". In the Tang dynasty, Mr Xu was worshipped for his peace. In the Song Dynasty, people worshipped Mr. Yang and Li. In the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Zhu won and Mr. Hu Sen won. It has been more than a thousand years since the Han Dynasty, and only five people have eaten in the temple, which is independent. "

? Regarding the "Five Sages in Tangqi" recorded in the article, Long Qiuchang and Xu Anzhen are two of the "Three Sages in Jiu Feng". Who are Yang Yuli, Zhu Sheng and Hu Sen?

Yang Yuli (1213-1256) was born in Bai Matan, Hutian Township, Tangxi County. He studied under Zhu and was called Mr. Chuanshan. At that time, He Ji and Wang Bai asked him for advice. Wang Bai said: "It was in Chuanshan that I first learned the origin of Elo." Some people also said, "He Wang's study has a profound and broad source of strength." Thus, the Confucianism of Yang and Li is profound.

Zhu Sheng, born and died in an unknown year, was a native of Tangxi Village (that is, a village under the jurisdiction of ancient Tangxi County), and Yongle was a juren. He was an honest, quiet and sensitive official and died in office.

Hu Sen (1493- 1564), the word Xiufu,No. Jiufeng,No. Taimushan, was the number one scholar in the 16th year of Ming Zhengde (152 1). During his tenure, he loved the people and saved money, and was honest and clean. Later, due to differences with power, he resigned and returned to his hometown for the benefit of Sang Zi. In his later years, he lived in seclusion in Jiufeng Mountain, and was buried under Jiufeng Mountain after his death. He wrote Jiu Feng Collection.

Yes, if you can cross time tunnel, you will be lucky enough to meet so many outstanding rural sages. However, we also have questions:

First, why not "Six Sages in Tangqi" and exclude Xu Bozhen from the "Three Sages in Jiu Feng"?

I also found from relevant materials that Shen Linzhi is famous for compiling local chronicles. He has participated in the compilation of local chronicles such as Fu Jinhua Annals and Shanyin County Annals. It should be said that his research is quite rigorous and there will be no such mistakes.

Second, isn't it enough for Shen Lin to call Xu Bozhen a "national sage"?

So I looked it up in the Chinese dictionary. What is a "country saint"? The explanation is: "people with noble virtues in the village." Then enter "Baidu Search" and two items will be displayed on the screen:

First of all, a person defined by morality and talent will be respected by the villagers.

Secondly, the word "rural sage" began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is an honorary title commended by the state after the death of an official who made a difference, or a social sage with high prestige and made great contributions to society. It is an affirmation of the life value of those who enjoy this title. To the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were Xiangxian shrines in all counties, which were dedicated to Xiangxian figures of past dynasties. Therefore, a complete set of official memorial and memorial ceremonies was formed.

It can be seen that Xu Bozhen's honorary title of "National Sage" should be well deserved. At the same time, it also made me understand why the "Three Sages of Jiu Feng" began in Longqiu. That's because the word "national saint" began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Long Qiuchang just died at the turn of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, Tangqi, as an ancient country, existed in the Spring and Autumn Period. As a saint of Jiu Feng, there will never be a shortage in history. Therefore, there are few historical records of Jiu Feng sages before the Eastern Han Dynasty. Of course, we can't verify it now. Also, Tangxi County has rebuilt the Xianci Temple in a famous town, so it's no wonder that famous people should be invited to "remember".

Therefore, it seems that Saint Xu Bozhen may be a question of geographical attribution. Imagine that if there is no objection to classifying Long Qiuchang, Xu Bozhen and Xu Anzhen as "the three sages of Jiu Feng", then Xu Bozhen, the last person in the Southern Qi Dynasty, made an analysis of Jinhua County and Lanxi County in Jinhua Prefecture, Longyou County in Quzhou Prefecture and Suichang County in Chuzhou Prefecture in the seventh year of Ming Chenghua (147 1). If my inference is reasonable, then the argument between Jin and Qu about "Three Sages of Jiu Feng" can come to an end according to Shen Linzhi's statement: Long Qiuchang and Xu are Tangqi Sages, and Xu Bozhen is Longyou Sages.

Of course, even though Shen Linzhi wrote this story to solve a big unsolved case between neighboring counties, by the time he wrote this article, it was said that there were "five sages of Tangqi". Who was his successor? Therefore, after Hu Sen, I might as well screen them one by one. I am not ignorant, so I would like to add two more people to Shen Lin's diary, which are collectively called "Seven Sages of Tangqi": in the Qing Dynasty, I worshipped Mr. Hu Wei; In the Republic of China, Mr. Hong was worshipped in Kyrgyzstan at first.

Hu Wei (1712-1796) was born in Qian Hu village, Yangbu town. His life is quiet and honest, honest and frank. His life is based on "filial piety and love". As an honest official, he is deeply loved by the people. Resign and return home, thank guests behind closed doors, teach by example and encourage future generations. He once participated in the compilation of Tangxi County Records, and wrote Reading History and Managing the Family.

Born in 1905, Hong Chuji is from Hongyanghong Village, Yangbu Town. He graduated from Tokyo University of Political Science and Law in Japan and was a classmate with former Japanese Prime Minister tanaka kakuei. After returning from studying abroad, 194 1 founded Tangxi Middle School and served as the first principal. He once put all the pension that his second brother Hong sacrificed for War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression into the construction of Tangqi Middle School. Therefore, Mr. Hong Chuji made great contributions to the development of modern Tangqi education.

After the completion of the supplement, as a result, facing the towering Jiufeng Mountain and the gurgling stream, I was lost in thought again: So, who did the sages of Tangxi know after the flood? However, I firmly believe that although Tangqi is a small area, it is a relic of an ancient country, and our ancestors have a lasting style. Therefore, when I opened this record written by Shen Linzhi again, I saw this feeling in the article: "In the temple, it seems to be a famous official. If the people are driven away by the people, will you be excited? " If you are a rural saint, if you are a person who lags behind you, will you rise hopelessly? "

Then, Tangqi people, descendants of Gu, the next or the next national sage, who can "rise with hope"?

-We're looking forward to it!
