Basic name: Gu Qiyuan font size: Early Times: Ming Nationality: birthplace of Han nationality: Yingtianfu Jiangning (present-day Nanjing) Date of birth: 1565 Date of death: 1628 Main works: textual research on ancient stones in Jinling, anecdotes, biographies, literary achievements and anecdotes. Gu Jieyuan, the masterpiece of A Character's Life, founded a literary society in this village with He Dongru, Yu Yan and others in the 20th year of Wanli (1592). Twenty-five years of Wanli (1597), after having obtained the provincial examination, ranked 12th. The following year, he was the first person to try, the third person in palace examination, and was awarded editor by Hanlin. He once published in Pray for Heaven to Live Forever, criticizing the shortcomings, but it was not adopted. In the thirty-eighth year of Wanli (16 10), he was promoted to secretary of Nanjing imperial academy, and in the forty-third year (16 15), he offered a wine sacrifice in June. Finally, the official department left assistant minister, Hanlin served as a bachelor. In his later years, he moved to Xinghua Village and built a secluded garden. He said in the poem "Yong Dun Garden": "You can rest, thank things and raise food". Another "Yong Dun Yuan" wrote: "The land is not full of bows, but high customs; There is no sound of horses and chariots, but there is a haze. " Since the book "Escape from the Garden", "Why is the Garden famous? What is the cloud of escaping from the garden? " Hiding in the source of knowing the flavor, so it's called hiding. You run away without waiting for the garden. "He died in the first year of Chongzhen (1628) and was buried in Yuntai Mountain, Jiangning, Wenzhuang. Gu Qiyuan Gu Qiyuan is an understanding person and does not corrupt the vanity of the field. He is also meticulous about academic articles, first reading extensively and then writing essays. " "Biography of Gu Wenzhuang in Qi Needle City" said: "Gu Yuyuan is quiet and profound, unlike him ... he has no city in his heart. Moreover, he has a wide range of knowledge, and all the successes and failures in ancient and modern times, regardless of whether the characters are obscure or not, lead to Cao Cao's anecdotes, which are vivid. "Although Gu Qiyuan has been born and raised for 30 years, he has repeatedly asked the court to allow him to retire and return to his hometown. He has only served in North Korea for five years. However, even when he was in office, he still focused on writing. His famous anthology Shuolue was basically completed when he was in office, but in thirty-three years of Wanli, on his way home from Beijing, he met a big river burst its banks and was damaged by a big storm, so his manuscript of Shuolue was lost. After he was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown, the court at that time issued seven imperial edicts to let him return to Beijing, but Gu Qiyuan, who was indifferent by nature, pushed him away. His friend once named his residence "Seven Calling Pavilion". So although he was an ordinary student for 30 years, he spent most of his time in seclusion. During the Apocalypse, someone in Jiangning set up a shrine for eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and the government "begged for words", but he was empty-handed. The master repeatedly asked for a large sum of money, but he also refused. Despite repeated prohibitions, Gu still cares about state affairs and works harder. In the forty-first year of Wanli (16 13), I found a volume of Shuo Le, which was edited and published in thirty volumes. In the forty-five years of Wanli (16 17), he wrote ten volumes of "Ke Rong Ci". In the forty-six years of Wanli (16 18), the collection of lazy shanzhai was customized, with 20 volumes of poems and 30 volumes of articles. In the forty-eighth year of Wanli (1620), Gu compiled Textual Research on Ancient Stone in Jinling. In the third year of the apocalypse (1623), he wrote four volumes of An Zhe Catalogue. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), Shuo Le was added and published in 60 volumes. At the same time, he also wrote eight kinds of poems, such as Han Songting Ji and Gui Hongting Zaji, which showed his profound knowledge. However, the world is unfair to Gu Jieyuan for escaping from the Buddhist tablet rubbings. Although he is knowledgeable and versatile, his ingenuity strategy has not been used by the contemporary world. Therefore, Gu Jieyuan's "Epitaph of Master Jiaolian Garden" wrote: "The official of a gentleman is in Jinma Yutang, the price of a gentleman is in the scholars, the great cause of a gentleman is in a famous mountain country, the style of a gentleman is taught in nine continents and four seas, and the last wish of a gentleman is in Qiuji Shihuai. "On the surface, it is an expression of * * *' s lofty moral integrity in mourning for the ancestors, but it is actually a portrayal of itself. Literary achievements Gu Qiyuan has many works, but he is good at prose. His prose pays attention to the choice of words and sentences, drawing on the creative experience of parallel prose, and its strengths and weaknesses are also formed. As Huang Zongxi commented in "Reading in an Explicit Way", "erudite people take Xu and Yu as their ancestors, and their prose is easy to use, with too many words, which is contrary to popular literature. "Many of his poems can lament current events and express their feelings, and some of them are full of realistic content and can be used to criticize current events. The works of Kefu Ci mainly include Gu Jian Shi, A Textual Research on Jinling's Ancient and Modern Pictures, Kefu Ci, Dun Manuscript, The Legend of the Mean, Four Personal Notes and Essays. If the guest is redundant, the volume *** 10 will appear in the form of a notebook. Nanjing dialect, costumes, hukou, corvee, figures, literati and other historical records, especially pay attention to the changes of social economy, people's feelings and customs during Jiajing and Wanli years. In addition, some stories and legends related to Nanjing have been compiled. Later, many of Gan's and Chen's works came from Gu Jieyuan's anecdotes and allusions. Gu Qiyuan's four brothers, a Jinshi, an official Guanglu, a juren and an official. Every New Year, after the ancestor worship, the whole family get together, buy a pot of wine, sit in three or four rows on the table, only drink without toasting, and the other children are empty cups. Every time Gu Qiyuan says that he is a housekeeper. At this time, only the younger brother of Guanglu Siqing nodded and agreed, and others dared not make any noise. This typical scholar-bureaucrat family style was rare even at that time. On behalf of poetry, the three contest, which is better or worse; Not the same, but I can't see it; It is convenient to roll your eyes; Dachuan returns to the sea, and the furnace is fierce; In that case, you can recommend it. Three mountains, autumn moon, mountains, bright moon, blue sky, autumn, and the twelfth floor of the cold-soaked fairy. Looking up at three mountains, Qinghe thousands of feet is empty. Turn around when you meet a narrow road without a title, and the wild crossing is wide and flat. Things at the bottom crowd out fellow travelers and communicate with temporary people. I called the thin queen of the pavilion seven times, but I couldn't do it. Hiding in an empty net all his life has harmed Wei que; His innocent father, after a thousand years, is as clear as Huai water and higher than Zhongshan.
