The life story of Gu, a literary master.
In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Gu occupied a high position in the ideological and cultural field and was praised as a "master of a generation" by later generations. In Gu Qing's life, reading is a very important thing, so he can become an erudite talent and get deep attainments in many subjects. Gu's research method is very groundbreaking, which is also an important reason why he can become a knowledgeable person. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Gu made great achievements, which is closely related to his concept of practical use.
In Gu's view, it is far from enough for scholars to talk about their ideals and ambitions. They should also know how to apply what they have learned in books to real life and create practical benefits, which is conducive to national development and people's lives. If the scholar is only satisfied with some strange tricks, it will do no good to the country.
It can be seen that Gu is a very pragmatic scholar, so he will carry out academic research in many fields, write a large number of weighty works, and put forward many original opinions in them, thus providing many valuable experiences and suggestions for future generations. Studying Gu's works, we will find that his attitude towards academic research is very serious and rigorous, and this is also because he is studying with the idea of "applying what he has learned", so he will not verify it, but will carefully collect evidence to demonstrate his research.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the literary world was empty, and the bureaucrats born in this atmosphere certainly did not work hard for the people of the country, so the degree of social corruption was very serious, which eventually led to the demise of this dynasty. As soon as the idea of practical application came out, the literary world gradually changed, and many outstanding literati in the Qing Dynasty were born under this background, thus promoting the prosperity and development of culture in the early Qing Dynasty.
A brief introduction to the literary master Gu's descendants.
Gu is a very outstanding thinker, and also a scholar and phonologist we have learned. He has made in-depth research on the country's canon system, astronomical phenomena, canals, phonology and exegesis, and has dabbled in stories of counties, cities, military strategists and farmers, as well as hundreds of classics and historical books. However, he tossed and turned all his life, created a new research method for the early Qing Dynasty, and was known as the "ancestor of the Qing Dynasty" and became an influential academic generation.
That is to say, in the summer of 1645, after the fall of his hometown, his heir mother Wang fasted and died 10 days. The last sentence she said was: "Although I am a woman, I owe my country, and I take my country as my righteousness. You are a loyal minister of a foreign country. You have not failed the kindness of your country in this world, and you have not forgotten the teachings of your ancestors. Then I can bury myself in the ground. " Gu was heartbroken and took his mother's legacy to heart. This is also the fundamental reason for Gu's action of opposing Qing Dynasty and regaining sight recorded in Walking in later.
Although Gu, a great master, has made brilliant historical achievements, his married life is not happy. He/Kloc-got married at the age of 0/9, and his wife Wang is the daughter and mother of a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. After marriage, she has never given birth. The reason is unknown and the history is not recorded in detail. It is speculated that the reason may be separation from his wife Wang. Later, Gu went to the north, and his wife Wang was alone at home. He died two years earlier than Gu. At that time, Gu was still in Fenzhou, Shanxi. After hearing the news of his wife's death, he wrote five poems to mourn his dead wife. "The underground accident told the public that there was still a survivor." It is a representative sentence.
According to historical records, Gu had four concubines. There were the first room and the third room in the concubine room, where he gave birth to his children, but they all died young. Until Gu was 60 years old, he had no son, and he became an heir. Later generations followed him for many years until he died of illness.
