Brief introduction of the author
Xu Ruzi (AD 97- 168), namely Xu Zhi, was born in Nanchang, Zhang Yu (now Nanchang). He was a famous scholar and scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the world called him "Gao Shi of Nan Zhou".
Xu Ruzi has always advocated "reciprocity, indifference to ambition", unwilling to be an official but ready to help others. He was honored as "a scholar in the south of China" and "a scholar in cloth" and became a "model of outstanding people" praised for a hundred years. He came to Jiangxia (now Yunmeng, Hubei Province) to learn from the famous scholar Huang Qiong. Later, when Huang became an official, Xu severed diplomatic relations with him and repeatedly refused Huang's invitation to become an official. After Huang Qiong's death, Xu Ruzi walked from Nanchang with dry food on his back for several days. Later generations admired him very much: "It's not far to invite officials to refuse."
According to legend, Chen Fan, the prefect of Zhang Yu, respected Xu Zhimo's character very much, and specially set up a couch for him. If he goes, he will hang it up. Therefore, in Wang Bo's famous poem "Preface to Wang Tengting", there is an immortal famous sentence "outstanding people, Xu Ruchuang in Chen Fan", which has been passed down through the ages and become a much-told story. Fan Chen has sent Xu Ruzi meals many times. Xu thought that he was "not independent but had no food" and gave it all to poor families.
After his death, Xu Ruzi was buried in the moat of Tieshupo Old Town, Dongtan Lane outside Jinxianmen, Nanchang City. In order to commemorate this famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, later generations built Xu Ruzi's ancestral hall on the shore of Qingshan Lake in Nanchang. Huang Tingjian, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, visited Xu Temple when he was studying in Nanchang, and wrote: "A tree is a secluded three-acre house. Who should I say? " The vine is proud to dry the clouds, and the flute and drum have no intention of entering the wine bottle. A White House may have no children, and Huang Tang does not owe Fan Chen. The ancients are indifferent to today's laughter, and the lake is getting old every year. "
Today, Ruzi Road, Ruzi Park, Ruzi Pavilion and Gaoshi Bridge in Nanchang are all named after Xu Zhimo.
According to the records in the annals of Nanchang Prefecture, Nanchang County and Contemporary Nanchang City, it can be proved that Xu Ruzi is from Beili Village, Guxian County, Zhang Yu. Yan Zhenqing, a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, also recorded in his Preface to the Genealogy of the Xu Family in Zhangyu Beili that "Xu Li moved to the north today, and since the trial of the Western Han Dynasty, he spread to nobles, fearing his childish words" and Ye Fan in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. There are other opinions about the birthplace of Xu Ruzi, such as Yinxi Village in Baitu Township, fengcheng city, and Xujiafang in qingyunpu district, Nanchang.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Fan's direct descendant Chen Shaoru became the Nanchang magistrate after 1400 years. The first thing he did when he went to Nanchang was to visit relatives of Xu Cun in Beili. In addition, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Tingyi, the governor of Jiangxi Province, decided to follow the example of Qufu, Shandong Province, and establish a system of offering sacrifices to Confucius in Jiangxi. Later, Xu and xu wen hua of the Xu family in Beili were selected as the first batch of hereditary sacrifice candidates, which started the official "Xu Sacrifice" and lasted until the early Qing Dynasty.
