Writing background:

Liu Yuanqing was born in Xixiang, Anfu County, Ji 'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province (now belonging to Lianhua County, Pingxiang City). He studied hard since childhood, and Qin Long won the provincial examination in Jiangxi in 157. Later, under the recommendation of others, he took a letter and papers to the court to take part in the examination. However, due to the" five policies ",he confessed.

In the sixth year of Qin Long (1572), he founded Fuli Academy. In the second year of Wanli (1574), he took part in the examination again, but was not admitted, so he gave up his fame and went back to his hometown to study Neo-Confucianism and give lectures.

In the seventh year of Wanli (in 1579), the Shenzong imperial edict destroyed the academies, and most of the academies in the country were forced to close down. However, Liu Yuanqing renamed the Fuli Academy as the "Five Grains Shrine" and still gathered people to give lectures. Later, the learning ban was lifted, and the original name of Fuli Academy was restored. Since then, its reputation has become even greater, and its reputation has become increasingly broad.

Fuli Academy has strict study rules and good education quality, so that people with lofty ideals from Hunan, Hubei and other provinces have come all the way here to study. Scholars at home admire Liu Yuanqing's knowledge and call him "Taishan Beidou".

Liu yuanqing also founded the academies of Renren, Zhongdao, Yide, and so on. At this point, he was as famous as Wu Kangzhai, Deng Qiangu and Zhang Benqing in the province at that time, and was called "the Four Gentlemen of Jiangyou".

With the popularity expanding, many officials wrote to the imperial court many times to recommend Liu Yuanqing, calling Liu Yuanqing "a festival of negative ambition and wisdom to help the world".

The emperor attached great importance to it, and awarded him the title of "Dr. Guo Zi" and "Ji Chengde Lang". In particular, he ordered Liu Yuanqing to be an official in Beijing. However, Liu Yuanqing gave lectures carefully and refused to be an official. Later, the emperor sent staff to urge him to go to his post again. Liu Yuanqing could not refuse again and again, so he had to enter Beijing. Soon, I was promoted to the head of the ceremony department.

during the three years of the dynasty, he put forward many measures that were beneficial to the feudal dynasty, and expounded his political opinions in Please Give a Talk about the Dynasty, Restrain the Tribute and Officials, and Tell the Truth and Defend the Japanese First Priority, which were very beneficial to get rid of bad politics, stabilize the border and resist foreign aggression.

It's a pity that Liu Yuanqing's political ideas were not adopted by the emperor, so he resigned from his illness and retired to his hometown. Liu Yuanqing, known as "Mr. Zhengxue", devoted his life to Neo-Confucianism from his weak crown to his twilight years.

According to the case of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, "When Mr. Wang first visited Qingyuan Mountain, he heard that Qingyuan was also a place of poetry and books. Since the arrival of two Zou Gongzi (Zou Shouyi's sons Rumei and Ruxian), this trend has been absolutely gone. Sir, it's true.

when two Zou talked about learning with him, they were angry. Therefore, it is not worthwhile to test the quotations of the sages. " From then on, Liu Yuanqing's interest in Wang Shouren's Neo-Confucianism was aroused.

he started to study in the local area, but his income was not deep, so he left his hometown and traveled far away to study as a teacher. He went to Zhejiang, Hubei and other places to learn from others, and after his own efforts, he became an important figure in the school.

Liu yuanqing can not only absorb the strengths of others, but also stick to his own opinions. He took "keeping the noumenon, doing things with hands" as his life's words and deeds, and did not believe in Taoism or Buddhism.

As he said in "A Small Quote of Self-praise", "I don't respect Sakyamuni, and I don't envy Wang Qiao. The reason why this Luxiao is Luxiao is that Luxiao stops at Luxiao."

Liu yuanqing's neo-Confucianism thought occupies an important position in Jiangyou wangmen school. After Liu Yuanqing's death, The History of Ming Dynasty made a biography for him, and Zou Yuanbiao, a celebrity of Ming Dynasty, wrote an epitaph for him, praising his "lingering charm, eternal life is still a teacher". 2.
