Former residence of Lu Wu
There are two former residences of Lu Wu, one is his birthplace, which is located in Qiantou Village, Chidian Town, Jinjiang, and the other is built after he won the first prize in high school, which is located on the south side of his ancestral home. Here are two former residences. Lu Wu's birthplace is a red brick building with brick and wood structure. According to Lu Wu's relatives, it was built here before he was born. Lu Wu lived here until he won the highest prize, where he studied and lived. The flagpole stone was placed in the open space in front of Lu Wu's former residence, after the champion of Lu Wu high school, according to the custom after the champion of middle school at that time. On the wall directly above the hall of the former residence, there are three characters of "No.1 scholar", and two couplets are engraved on the wooden pillars on both sides of the hall.
Lu Wu's other former residence, reportedly built around 1890, is almost identical to his former residence, meaning to miss his hometown. The house is designed to face south. Just in front of his house, there is a big stone pier like his former residence. The word "No.1 scholar" is hung on the door plaque of the house. The structure of the house is brick-wood structure, which is a very traditional design building. It is said that this place is also the place where Lu Wu's fourth son Wu Zhongshan studied.
Time flies, time flies. Although so many years have passed, Lu Wu's former residence has not been damaged at all. Unfortunately, many precious cultural relics in the former residence are gone, which was during the Cultural Revolution. In 200 1 year, the state listed Lu Wu's former residence as a cultural relic protection unit.

Lu Wu's calligraphy
Lu Wu is not only a patriotic poet, but also a pioneer of modern education. He has an intellectual sense of justice and noble personality spirit, which is worth learning from every future generation.
Lu Wu's calligraphy is as far away as Yan Liu, and near Su Mi, Song Sijia. He is gentle and has a good foundation. Influenced by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, his calligraphy is legal in brushwork and stable in structure, showing a sense of overall style with strict finishing. Some books want to make a breakthrough on this basis, and the bottom of the pen is full of elegance.
The imperial examination system in Ming and Qing dynasties requires that the calligraphy of bachelor's answers must be "black, square, light and even", that is, correct and rigorous. This thought had a far-reaching influence on the evolution of calligraphy style in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Therefore, the official calligraphy styles of Ming and Qiang are mostly rigorous and correct, and they dare not cross the line. It is also obvious that Lu Wu's calligraphy was influenced by the two generations of pavilions. Generally, when writing, the characters are square, round and full. But on this basis, Lu Wu should strive for innovation, not be satisfied with this strictness, strive for change, use bold and bold pen, change the thickness, and make a steep knot. The whole composition is messy and uneven, which is different from the calligraphy of the pavilion. Therefore, among the top scholars in the Qing Dynasty, Lu Wu's calligraphy attracted much attention.
In modern times, according to Mr. Zhang in the collection field, his calligraphy works often appear at major auctions together with those of Weng Tonghe and Ru Boqiao.
Bai's mourning poem, Mingsutang,No. and Garden, is an old work in his later years. His most famous work is Prozac.
Wu's mourning poems
1900, Eight-Nation Alliance attacked and plundered Beijing and Tianjin, and Lu Wu advocated that the coastal navy should "take Beiyang as the key link, Nanyang as the key point, the army should keep its key point, and the navy should meet its estuary". But it was not adopted by the court. Wu cared about the survival of the nation, regardless of personal safety, insisted on "main battle" and was promoted to "general military affairs", advocating cooperation between the government and the people and making good use of the Boxer Rebellion.
Wu's mourning poem was written in the spring of 1990. He himself mentioned in his book that "during Eight-Nation Alliance's occupation of Beijing, he was trapped in a lonely city, and he was filled with grief and indignation, and he collected what he saw and heard into more than 100 poems called" Hundred Mourning Poems ". It reflects the tragic situation that Eight-Nation Alliance attacked and plundered Beijing and Tianjin, Empress Dowager Cixi kidnapped the emperor and fled, and the people were abused. At the same time, it also stimulated the traitors who had lost their teachers and worshipped foreign things.
Lu Wu takes the revitalization of literature education as his own responsibility, and thinks that the revitalization of literature education is the first priority to revitalize ordinary politics. He once suggested to the court to raise funds and set up schools; Strict supervision and strong accountability in all localities; Check carefully; Encourage gentlemen to help students together. When he was governor of Anhui, he donated 5,000 gold and advocated the restoration of Cuiluo Academy in Taiping Prefecture. When he was a scholar in Jilin, he donated another 5,000 yuan to run a school and 1600 yuan to build a Confucian temple. During Lu Wu's one and a half years in power, many primary and secondary schools were established in Jilin Province. When visiting Yunnan, Lu Wu thought that Yunnan was remote and underdeveloped, and advocated that students should learn chemistry well to meet the needs of agricultural and mining development, and their majors should be focused on each other, so as not to participate in exhibitions at the same time, in case nothing could be achieved. Lu Wu advocates teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and step by step. He attaches great importance to talents who have returned from studying abroad.
Lu Wu's poem "Hundreds of Mourning Poems" awakens people's hearts and revitalizes the noble family with life-long facts.
