Chen Jiru wrote many works in his life, some of which are works, such as The Complete Works of Mr. Chen Meigong, The Complete Works of Chen Meigong, Essays on the Evening Fragrant Hall, The True Draft of Baishi Bridge, etc. Some of them are editors' works, such as Supplement to Wine Canon, Shao Kangjie Collection, Yi, etc., and there are a series of books with considerable capacity, such as Baoyantang Secret Books. Stylistically, his writings involve topics, biographies, inscriptions, eulogies, epitaphs, obituaries, lines, essays, arguments, strategies, debates, topics, eulogies, letters, poems, words, songs, fu and inscriptions. Functionally, it can be divided into practical work, livelihood work and entertainment work.
Although Chen Jiru was a man who abandoned his official position and imperial edict, due to the influence of traditional culture, he still couldn't completely give up his concern about absolute state affairs in the joy of his birth, and was often bound by a kind of contradictory feelings, so that in the quiet and peaceful life of seclusion for decades, there were times when sadness was suppressed in his chest. Therefore, some of his theories, strategies, expositions, arguments and essays are all practical works left by him with the heart of saving the world, or criticize the shortcomings of the tax system related to the national economy and people's livelihood and put forward practical suggestions for improvement; Still feel sorry for the embarrassment and sufferings of rural people, and expect the monarch to care about people's livelihood and reduce taxes and levy less, from which we can see Chen Jiru's sincere heart for people's livelihood.
Chen Jiru lived in the late Ming Dynasty, although the dynasty rule was about to collapse, but the abnormal development of commodity economy and special changes in social outlook provided a hotbed for a group of mountain people like Chen Jiru to survive. Chen Jiru, like the hermits of past dynasties, looks forward to a more comfortable living environment, longs for a secluded place in the Peach Blossom Garden, and shows hope for a happy country without tyranny and with enough food and clothing. Chen Jiru managed pavilions and elegant houses all his life, and built a reading desk, a stubborn fairy house and a Lei Kexuan. Continue to add pavilions, pavilions and pavilions in his later years. At the age of 57, he built a forest by the water; at the age of 58, he became a Taoist temple; at the age of 6/kloc-0, he became an old temple; at the age of 62, he built a A Dai pavilion; at the age of 66, he built a broom temple; and at the age of 70, he came to the instrument hall of Phoenix Mountain. He is particularly proud of the green grass pavilion built in Sheshan at the age of 55. At sunset, he boarded the pavilion overlooking tianmashan and Xilin Mountain. Chen Jiru thought the scenery could replace the famous paintings of the ancients, which was very comfortable.
In such a living environment, his mentality of enjoying life to the fullest has been vividly reflected in his entertainment works. Poems, songs, poems, letters, travel notes, Qing Ci and other essays are the works that can best reflect Chen Jiru's literary achievements and the personality characteristics of people in the late famous mountains, among which poems, poems, songs and poems are a portrayal of his life. Chen Jiru described his collection and said, "I don't like to leave grass in my life, but I will run away with it." Therefore, in my long career, there are not a few scattered poems. From his entertainment works, such as sightseeing, enjoying bamboo and flowers, drinking tea, burning incense and playing the piano, and enjoying the moon and printing books, we can feel the general picture of Chen Jiru, a mountain man in the late Ming Dynasty, who was uncontested and enjoying himself.
Chen Jiru lived in poverty in his early years, but he was famous for Mr. Mao Ying. After middle age, he became famous and his career continued, but more people asked him to write a ghost, preface and postscript. The pursuit of literati painting in the Ming Dynasty has been linked with people's lives. The popularity of this ethos among the people shows that not only literati but also ordinary people think that writing can show their ancestors, and also explains why many mountain people in the late Ming Dynasty can use poetry to walk the world. And the upper-class mountain people like Chen Jiru, the scholar-officials admire his reputation, and people who want to get him from Mo Bao flock to him. In addition to a large number of longevity preface, epitaph, inscription and postscript, Chen Jiru also published and carved some contemporary art related to the imperial examination. Especially, one of his proteges published an eight-part essay himself after he was in the imperial examination high school, and selected some imperial examination secrets for publication in Fu Zi, and also called some poor scholars to compile books. The money from these livelihood projects is the main source of income for Chen Jiru. When he died at the age of 82, Chen Jiru spent the night in a secluded fairy house and the day in an antique yard. Although I am tired of socializing, I still can't refuse paper and ink. Chen's inscription and Xu Shengzhai's inscription are his last words.
Chen Jiru had the idea of being born in his early years. Because things are dirty, "nineteen people in the world are trapped in dust, and there are countless turbidity", so he decided to refuse the dust martingale. Middle age is more suitable for the world. His "Works in the Mountains" "The word is hidden in middle age, and the mountain rests in the grave." "My heart is empty, my bones are proud, my bones are thin and immortal" quite typically reflects the pleasant feeling of enjoying seclusion as a suitable world. At this time, Chen Jiru had already given up the idea of fame and fortune, and gradually freed himself from the difficult life predicament. In his later years, he was obviously addicted to the entertainment world. Except for occasional travel, she lives in seclusion in Sheshan every day, or listens to the sound of springs, drinks tea, steps on plums, sits on futons, or collects herbs in the mountains, in pursuit of a simple, quiet and warm secular life. "Ode to Self" can be said to be Chen Jiru's summary of his survival choice: "If you don't envy Gan Kun, you must be lingering. Half a spoonful of white wine to sober up and a roll of Huang Ting high pillow. " It includes the loss of a few minutes, the freedom of birth and the comfort of the entertainment world, and more is the self-appreciation and self-sufficiency of free life.
