Who can be called the "last Ming Dynasty man"?

As the name suggests, the last Ming Dynasty people are actually the survivors of the Ming Dynasty. I first saw this term in the text "Looking at the Snow in the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake" when I was a child. It was also the first time I learned the name Zhu Shunshui.

His real name is Zhu Zhiyu. He was a native of Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province in the Ming Dynasty. He was a Gongsheng student in the late Ming Dynasty. Because he was characterized by the emperor three times in the late Ming and Southern Ming Dynasties, he was called Zhengjun, a scholar and educator of the Ming Dynasty.

Shun Shui No. 1 was obtained by him in Japan and has been passed down to this day. While in Japan, he was honored as a teacher by Emperor Go-Daigo and founded the Edo School, which had a significant impact on Confucian research in Japan and laid the ideological foundation for the subsequent Meiji Restoration.

In 1644, Chongzhen was hanged and the Manchus entered the customs. After the fall of China, he has been actively contacting various anti-Qing rebels, taking advantage of the sea route, traveling to Zhoushan, Japan, Annan and other places to raise funds for the rebels. Raise food.

At the same time, as a survivor of the Ming Dynasty, in the context of the late Ming Dynasty when many Ming Dynasty officials surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, his integrity made his enemies bow. The Qing army Liu Wengao captured him and forced him to shave his hair and surrender. In the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Zhiyu would rather die than surrender. Liu Wengao was moved and secretly let him go. When traveling to Annan, King Annan killed dozens of people and asked Zhu Zhiyu to kneel down. Minister Annan used a branch to write the word "Bye" on the sand in front of him. Zhu Zhiyu grabbed the branch and added the word "No", and stood up to be tortured. . King Annan finally felt his loyalty and did not embarrass him again.

In 1660, Zhu Zhiyu was invited by Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan to join Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition. Unfortunately, the Northern Expedition failed, and the dream of national restoration was no longer possible. Zhu Zhiyu did not want to submit to the Qing court, so he shaved his head and changed clothes, so he had to go east to Japan and left this country.

From then on, Chinese culture continued to be spread in Japan until his death in Osaka in 1682. After his death, he was buried according to Ming Dynasty etiquette, and his grave was also in Ming Dynasty style to express his nostalgia for his motherland.

This is the Zhu Shunshui I know. As a young man, he served as an official but did not flatter the powerful; in the middle age, he rose up to fight against the Qing Dynasty; in his old age, he traveled to other places for the sake of his motherland.

Here we go, all romantic figures! It is historical figures like Zhu Shunshui who have pushed Chinese history forward and made China an ancient civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years.
