Wu Cheng and Duchang Pantheon Prose

Wu Cheng (1248- 1333) was young and clear, and changed to Boqing in his later years. Today, people in Chongren, Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province.

In the sixth year of Song Duzong's Xianchun (1270), Gong Sheng was chosen after having obtained the provincial examination, and the scholar in the village was tried the following year to live in the thatched cottage. Therefore, he is called Mr. Cao Lu by the world. After entering Yuan Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in Le 'an Bushui Valley, specializing in writing, and lived in seclusion in Caotang in the 20th year of Yuan Dynasty (1283). In the twenty-third year of Zhiyuan, Cheng Jufu was sent to Jiangnan to recruit talents, and Wu Cheng followed him to the metropolis-Beijing. Soon, he resigned and returned to his hometown. During the Yuan Dynasty, Wu Cheng gave lectures in Longxing (now Nanchang, Jiangxi), which was appreciated by Xuan Shi, the governor of Jiangxi, and was recommended to the court. Dade five years (130 1), sealed Hanlin. When he arrived in Beijing the next year, the position was awarded to others by the court, and he returned to his home in the south. Later, he was appointed deputy director of Confucianism in Jiangxi and other places. He refused to go to work, so he ran around to delay time and finally had to resign due to illness. In the first year (1308), imperial academy Cheng was awarded; In my senior year, I was promoted to the company. After Wu Cheng took office, he reformed, taught in person, analyzed the gains and losses of biographies of various schools, integrated the theories of various schools, and formulated teaching methods, which were divided into four branches: Confucian classics, practical theory, literature and art, and political theory, thus expanding the teaching content.

Wu Cheng was an outstanding thinker and educator in Yuan Dynasty. As famous as Xu Heng, the contemporary master of Confucian classics, the world calls them "Southern Wu and Northern Xu". In his later years, Wu Cheng still devoted himself to writing and giving lectures, and there were many scholars traveling from south to north. He devoted his whole life to the spread and development of Confucianism in the Yuan Dynasty.

The article Pantheon is a narrative written by Wu Cheng in the Pantheon in the west wing of Mingluntang in Duchang Academy when he was the deputy director of Confucianism in Jiangxi at that time and didn't want to go to his post.

Mingluntang, located 80 steps to the right of Changzhi County, an ancient capital, is the place where Duchang Confucianism was popularized. There are two fasting halls in Minglun Hall, and Xizhaitang enshrines the memorial tablets of Neo-Confucianism masters Zhou Dunyi and Zhu. Liping, a township party member, said: Pantheon. Later, in the east of Minglun Hall, we set up the memorial tablet of Song Gong, the chair of Hou Zhai, Huang Hao of Wen, Cao Yanyue of Gong, Wang Shiqian of Gong, Xue Ji of ying chen, a scholar of Yu Lian, and others. Formerly known as "Qiangzhai", it was managed by a man named Peng. Subsequently, Feng clan and Prime Minister Jiang Wei wrote an inscription for Bian: "Xiangxian Temple".

Wu Cheng told us in his article that education is the foundation of being a man. We should get rid of the shackles of the secular, respect teachers and pay attention to teaching, nourish people's hearts with knowledge irrigation, and inspire people's confidence with the power of example. He also earnestly warned us that to be a man, we must be able to sit and sit, so that we can be calm and calm inside and not be disturbed by the outside world; We should also move, and when we move, we should try our best to ensure that our words and deeds will not violate the principles of Tao and will not be out of line. Think carefully, practice in a rigorous and orderly manner, read more books and blog articles to distinguish the essence of goodness, reason with honesty, discipline your body with correct thinking, and influence people around you with the spirit of courage. We must gain insights in future study, and then actively explore and practice.

What he said is not only for everyone present, but also for Duchang's education. When he learned that Qi Xin Qi Xin, a colleague in the teaching field, had cooperated to recover the land occupied by villagers in northern Guan Xue for 60 years, he was pleased to give a high evaluation to the county government and the education authorities. He said that this is an important achievement besides doing a good job in education itself. Later, what he said to people was meaningful and profound. Today, I will talk about it with such a thing, with the purpose of telling future generations that they must respect teachers and respect knowledge, and never arbitrarily occupy the interests of the school.

At that time, Wu Cheng, a famous scholar in China who was listed as "Southern Wu and Northern Xu", was able to say these meaningful words to our education in Duchang. Obviously, he is very appreciative of the teaching style and study style of Duchang Education. He also spoke highly of Duchang government's ability to fundamentally solve some substantive problems in education development. A cultural scholar, a famous person like him, will always remember that loving the virtuous and respecting the elderly, respecting teachers and valuing morality, and consciously educating people are the foundation of the future. It can be seen that education is a crucial thing in the historical process!

Yuan Youwu became a sage. What about Wei Wei? The moral of memorial hall is heavy, and education should be long-term.
