Cui Shi's works
Cui Shi, also known as Cui Hu, was a famous agronomist and political commentator in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was born into a farmer's family. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the phenomenon of land annexation was very serious, and the form of manor became a new political phenomenon. They live together in the manor, and the elders in the family are the ruling core of the manor economy. This family background laid the foundation for Cui Shi to study agriculture. Cui Shi was a very filial child when he was a child. He saw that his mother was worried and tired of this family, while his father was completely indifferent to the livelihood of this family. So clever little Cui Shi began to help his mother with the housework. In this process, Cui Shi attached great importance to his management experience and learned a lot of agricultural knowledge.
after my father died, the financial situation of the manor became worse and worse. In this case. Cui Shi began to develop other businesses. In addition to maintaining the original farming weaving, he hoarded cheap things and sold expensive things, and also used brewing technology to brew soy sauce, wine and vinegar to maintain his life.
due to the birth of famous families and the eastern Han dynasty, the system of inspection and adjudication was implemented. Cui Shi has been recommended as an official for many times. Because of his introverted personality and cautious political situation at that time, Cui Shi didn't become an official until middle age and served as the county magistrate of Wuyuan. During his tenure, Cui Zhifu used the knowledge he had learned to teach people in Wuyuan County to weave, which not only made the local people have clothes and clothes, but also greatly improved their living conditions.
Since then, due to the achievements of Wuyuan County, Cui Shi was promoted to minister. However, he suffered a disaster in the party, was dismissed, returned to his hometown, and settled in Luoyang. Cui Shi's Four People's Moon Order was published in this period.
Cui Shi died in 17. Through Cui Shi's brief introduction, we can see that he has made great contributions to agriculture in China and is a real agronomist.
Cui Yuan
Cui Yuan was a famous scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. One is a calligrapher and the other is an agronomist. Interestingly, Cui Yuan is Cui Shi's father.
Cui Yuan's words
Although they are father and son, they are different in many ways. First of all, Cui Yuan is a famous calligrapher who has made great achievements in cursive writing. On the other hand, Cui Shi has made outstanding contributions to agriculture and is a real agronomist. One family, two different identities, can see the great achievements of this family.
Secondly, Cui and Yuan have completely different personality characteristics. Cui Yuan is generous, informal and likes to make friends. He has a unique personality as a writer. Cui Shi is cautious and pragmatic, very cautious. In the process of agricultural research, Cui Shi has been seriously studying agronomy, unlike his father.
Third, Cui Shi and Cui Yuan have totally different contributions to the family. Because of her rich personality and family environment, Cui Yuan often invites friends to drink and chat. He smiled happily and never ignored the price. This leads to the phenomenon of living beyond one's means. From this perspective, Cui Yuan is a typical stubborn rich boy. Cui is actually different. Although he has such a father, he has not inherited these habits. On the contrary, Cui Shi, who was educated by her mother since childhood, is very smart and knows how to share the difficulties of her family. Cui Shi studied family management from childhood until he grew up. Cui Shi's family management level has surpassed his mother's. In the face of declining fortunes, Cui Shi has taken many beneficial measures. Open source and reduce expenditure have made great contributions to the development of the family.
Although Shi and Cui Yuan made different contributions, they were still dazzling stars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Cui Shi's evaluation
The evaluation of Cui Shi by later generations is mainly based on his actions.
Cui Shi's words
First of all, as a landlord class, Cui Shi is not satisfied with the status quo. Facing the sudden change of his father's family environment, he chose to run the family business in various ways. Cui Shi abandoned the traditional farming weaving method, and increased family income by brewing soy sauce and wine, so he had good experience in family management. This experience comes from the accumulation of learning from mother. His filial piety also laid a good foundation for his future family business.
after entering the political arena, Cui Shi is more concerned about the country and the people. He was sad to see that the people in Wuyuan county were suffering. Because Wuyuan county is located in the north, the climate is very bad, but people don't wrap their clothes. Faced with such a tragic situation, Cui Shiran sold all his property, bought a textile machine, consulted a famous textile teacher in the Central Plains, and spread the textile technology to Wuyuan County. This dedication to the country and the people deeply touched the people of Wuyuan County. Although Cui Shi was an official for many years and even became a central figure in the imperial court, he was always clean and never corrupt. There is neither furniture nor money in the house. When he died, he didn't even have the money to buy a coffin, which is enough to show Cui Shi's noble character.
As an agronomist, Cui's contribution to agriculture is obvious to all. In order to write this book, he has been going deep into the fields, which shows that Cui Shi is a man who is not afraid of suffering. Although he was born in a landlord family, he still has an infinite love for nature and land in his bones. It was this love that made him famous after a thousand years.
Through the evaluation of Cui Shi, we can know a real Cui Shi better.
