Kunshan has many streets, named after historical figures from Kunshan. For example, Tinglin Road comes from the number of the great ming dynasty thinker Gu Yanwu, Mr. Tinglin. Bailu Road is from the late Ming Dynasty educator Zhu Bailu. Zhenchuan Road, on the other hand, comes from Guiyouguang, known as Mr. Zhenchuan.
If you don't know that there is light, then you must have heard this ancient saying, "There is a loquat tree in the court, and the hand planted by my wife in the year of her death is now like a pavilion." In the history of ancient Chinese literature, this passage from Gui Youguang's famous "Xiang Ridge Xuanzhi" is the ceiling of ancient Chinese literature.
Gui Youguang, the first ming dynasty ancient chinese. Born in Kunshan, his ancestral home is Taicang Xianglingjing, so he takes Xianglingxuan as his name. It is worth mentioning that Wang Xijue, the first assistant of the cabinet at the same time as him, and Wang Shizhen, the leader of the literary world, all came from Taicang. It is only a few tens of miles away from the ancestral home of Gui Youguang.
Compared with these two high-powered fellows, the career of returning to the light is much more shabby. The ancestors of the light are also the family of officials and eunuchs. His father, clothed all his life. By the time he was born, the family had already fallen.
He became famous at the age of light, wrote articles at the age of ten, and became famous in the township. After that, it was not lucky until the age of thirty-five that he won the second place in the Nanjing Township Examination. At this point, he was able to make a name for himself, and the name of Mr. Zhenchuan was unknown to everyone in the Shilin forest in Jiangnan.
After that, there were eight consecutive imperial examinations, all of which were named Luosun Mountain. At the age of sixty, he barely achieved fame. Less than two years after serving as the commander of Changxing County, he was demoted by The Bright Rise and Dark because of his bookish temperament. After that, the eunuch sea was ups and downs, and the origin was unknown. In the end, he died with the false title of Liupin.
Gui Youguang was born in Kunshan, and his reading and growth were also in Kunshan. However, he became famous in the world after he opened his lecture at anting academy in Jiading, Shanghai. Gui Youguang inherited the fine tradition of ancient Chinese readers and regarded feathers as life. It was incompatible with the fly camp dogs in the official arena at that time. In the end, he has maintained a reputation for self-improvement in character. Internet circulation such as condoning concubines to cut loquat trees is a fabrication of their neighbors.
As the leaders of the literary circles at that time, Wang Shizhen and Gui Youguang had an essential difference in the concept of literary creation. Wang Shizhen advocates the literary retrospective of "Wen bi Qin Han", while Gui Youguang advocates literary creation, first of all, it needs to "say something", that is, to have its own emotions and own concepts. In his later years, Shi Zhen also happily and sincerely honored Gui Youguang as the first person in today's ancient texts.
I hadn't been in high school, so I didn't know anything about the Xiang Ridge Xuanzhi, which was included in the high school Chinese textbook, after I joined the work, when I read the History of Ancient Chinese Literature. It is precisely because of this text that I know that there is light, intermittently, and I have also read some of his articles. With a very light pen, writing about extremely sincere feelings, writers who can reach this height can be compared with Gui Youguang, and there are very few in the history of Chinese literature.
The tomb of Gui Youguang is located in the southwest corner of the intersection of Zhenchuan Garden, Zhenchuan Road and Bailu Road, and on the northwest side of the Zhenchuan Bridge. The park is not large, the area is only two or three hundred square meters, and the courtyard is mostly some elderly people walking. There is a pavilion in the courtyard, and there are seven or eight old people sitting around the pavilion, plucking the silk bamboo to enjoy themselves. The tomb is in the north of the pavilion, next to the traffic of Zhenchuan Road. Surrounded by the downtown area of Kunshan, presumably, Mr. Zhenchuan, who is buried here, will never have a peaceful day.
The text is like its own person. Using a narrative technique that is close to chattering, inadvertently, a beautiful picture of human love is depicted. Deep in love, touching the earth.
