introduction:
Literati born in a chaotic world since ancient times, or high winds and bright festivals, swore to fight the enemy to the death; or did not ask about political affairs, and sent affection for literature and art. Liu Chunlin, who was born at the end of China's feudal dynasty, is one such figure. Liu Chunlin, born in 1872, the character Runqin, in 1904, and the first, known as the "last of the first people", his life can be described as the most earth-shaking changes in Chinese history.

He went abroad to Tokyo for further study, and after returning to China in 1907, he served many times, through the Xinhai Revolution, the "918" Incident, the "77" Incident, etc., and he watched his country suffer from war and was powerless to change. In the spring of 1942, Liu Chunlin, who suffered from heart disease, died in Beijing after a series of devastation and family deaths. Throughout his life, what are the legends?
01
Liu Chunlin's birth was poor, and he had been a farmer at the bottom for generations, far less than the scholars of other literati. His father was only a small servant, and his mother worked as a maid in his father's errand house. Fortunately, his brother and sister-in-law attached importance to raising him, and he was able to enter a private school at the age of 8 and has been exposed to a different world since then.
After more than ten years of hard study, he finally lived up to the expectations of the public in 1904 and won the title. However, this leader seemed to be a big joke played by the god of fate with him.
Relevant historical records record that the chief examination minister at that time had already arranged the examination papers in order of rank and handed them to Empress Dowager Cixi for review, but the first place she opened was not Liu Chunlin's volume, but Zhu Ruzhen from Guangdong. Because the rebellious thief Kang Youwei in Cixi's eyes was from Guangdong, she was naturally disgusted with Guangdong, plus this "Zhen" character was the title of "ZhenFei" of a concubine she killed that year. In this way, Zhuangyuan is definitely not Zhu Ruzhen. When she turned over the second place examination paper, she saw the word "Chunlin" and felt that this was an auspicious sign, and as a result, Liu Chunlin became a big leader.
If he took the exam a year later, he would not have the title of the imperial examination. Because the following year, the imperial examination was completely abolished after more than 1,300 years of history. After he was appointed as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he had nothing to do, because he was soon sent by the Qing government to study abroad.

After returning to China after studying abroad, because of Yuan Shikai's appreciation, plus he was the last nominal leader in history, he also served as an official for several years, but he felt that he had no way to serve the country, and the Qing Dynasty was going to die after all. Then the Xinhai Revolution broke out, and he was even more powerless, so he directly resigned from his official position and lived a life like a crane in the clouds.
Hide in a small building and unify, managing his spring, summer, autumn and winter. Even if he was tempted, he never colluded with the party, including Yuan Shikai, who once appreciated him. After that, he only concentrated on the study of calligraphy behind closed doors, especially Xiao Kai, because of his high talent, he later had the saying that "Da Kai learned Yan Xiao Kai learned Liu". Liu Chunlin's words are strong and powerful, exquisite and calm, and intriguing. He has published some posters, such as the "Tang Dynasty Three Tibetan Sacred Teachings", "Wenchang Emperor Jun Yin Qiwen", "Lanting Preface", etc., and is a very accomplished calligrapher.
Not only calligraphy, Liu Chunlin also likes to study ancient chinese history and gold stones, etc., and the experience of studying abroad has also given him a good understanding of Western culture. It can be said that it is a literati and scholars who have learned about ancient and modern times, and know The Literati and Scholars.
Unfortunately, such a leisurely day did not last long. After the "918" incident, Puyi and the Japanese established the puppet state of Manchukuo. At that time, many people who had appointed ministers to the imperial court went to Manchuria to continue their dreams of the Spring and Autumn Period. In order to consolidate the political power, the Japanese also pulled many people to become officials, but Liu Chunlin was not moved, always unwilling to go against his original intention, he carried the country's blood and deep hatred, even if the Japanese sent people to raid the home, he resolutely disagreed, and then he and his family were displaced. But fortunately, he had a greater reputation in the society at that time, and he finally returned to his home under the condition of begging for help.
epilogue
Based on the wind and rain of the Manchu Dynasty, although he can no longer see the hope of the country, he can also get out of the mud without staining, and has always had the heart to repay the country. How can such a man of high wind and bright festivals not have great respect for him in future generations?
