In the TV series "The Storm in the Wood House", the life experience of the male protagonist Mu Zeng can be described as full of dangers, ups and downs, love and hatred, great sorrow and great joy. So, in real history, what is Mu Zeng like? What about a person? What kind of life path has he walked?
Before getting to the point, let’s talk about the origin of Mufu. This is an interesting little story.
Mufu is the common name of Lijiang Mu’s Tusi Yamen, which is roughly equivalent to the current autonomous prefecture government. The Mu family's hereditary Lijiang chieftains began in the Yuan Dynasty, but at that time they did not take Mu as their surname, but implemented the Naxi traditional father-son naming system. ?
After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, Lijiang's Naxi chieftain Ajia'ade, inspired by the spirit of "those who know the current affairs are heroes", "led the troops and surrendered" in 1382 AD, and Lijiang finally returned to the central government government embrace. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and changed his surname "Zhu" into the character "木", and gave the Ajia'ade family the surname. From then on, the first family of the Naxi people had the surname Mu, so, " The name "Mufu" came into being. ?
After Mufu received the Han surname given by the emperor, successive chieftains highly respected the Confucian culture of the Han people and worked hard to learn from it. More than a hundred years later, Lijiang Mufu has become a poem Heirloom family, a noble family with profound cultural heritage. There is such a record in "History of Ming Dynasty": "The local officials in Yunnan know the history books, love etiquette and observe justice, headed by the Mu family of Lijiang.
Mu Zeng's father Mu Qing, like his predecessors, was obsessed with Han culture. Not only could he compose poems and lyrics, he could also write good calligraphy. But unfortunately, what he loved most was not the Confucian culture that actively joined the world, but the passive Taoist culture that he admired. The hermit Mu Qing finally saw through the mortal world. In 1587 AD, when he was twenty-nine years old, he drifted into the majestic and mysterious snow-capped Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Soon, Mu Qing passed away in the mountain, leaving the important task of Lijiang chieftain to only Shi Shi. The house leaked and it rained all night. When Mu Mansion was in sorrow, the indigenous people in Jiangbei Township took the opportunity to rebel and threatened to march to Lijiang. When news reached Mu Mansion, the Mu family was not frightened by the sudden change. They turned their grief into strength and determined to fight to the death for the sake of peace in Lijiang and the foundation of the Mu family.
Zeng was only eleven years old at the time, but he was full of courage and wisdom. With the encouragement of his relatives, he led his soldiers across the Jinsha River bravely and with high spirits to fight against the rebellion?
On the battlefield. When the battle started, Mu Zeng was full of energy and heroic spirit. When the battle started, he personally beat the drums to cheer up and boost morale. Seeing the bravery and fearlessness of the young master, all the soldiers were deeply inspired and their blood boiled. They all stood high. They shouted loudly, fought bravely, and drove the rebels from what is now Sichuan to the southeastern corner of Tibet. The rebels never recovered and could no longer make any waves.
The counterinsurgency in rural areas not only eliminated Lijiang. The hidden dangers of peace in Mufu not only expanded the scope of Mufu's rule, but also consolidated the position of chieftain of the young leader Museng, paving a smooth and smooth road for him to govern and develop Lijiang in the future. ?
Mu Zeng has been a child with extraordinary talents since he was a child. Under the influence of a family environment that advocates Han culture, he has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the Classics and History Collection at a young age. He has lofty ambitions and has always regarded revitalizing Lijiang and benefiting the people as his own mission. ?
As an adult, Mu Zeng was probably the same age as when "The Story of Mufu" started, and he vigorously developed the economy of Lijiang and its territories. business, developing silver, copper, gold, iron ore, salt mines, etc. in Nanping, Zhongdian, Weixi, Ninglang and Muli of Sichuan in northwest Yunnan, as well as salt mines in Tibet and other places, as mentioned in "Mufu Fengyun" The plot of the Mufu Gold Mine probably comes from this. Mu Zeng also built water conservancy and introduced rice so that the people could have enough food and clothing. He also donated money to build roads and bridges to benefit future generations and create better living conditions for the people.
?
While developing the economy, Mu Zeng also turned his attention to the cultural perspective. He hired literati and bachelors from culturally developed areas to teach Han culture based on Confucianism in Lijiang, and also selected smart and intelligent Naxi children. He went to the mainland to study and broaden his horizons. In order to accept Han culture more broadly and deeply, Mu Zeng built the "Yusong Academy" and the "Wanjuan Tower". He spared no expense and spared no effort to collect various cultural classics. Lijiang City Suddenly it became the cultural center of the vast southwest region.
Mu Zeng himself had a wide circle of friends, and had correspondence with many celebrities in the literary, artistic and technological circles at that time (late Ming Dynasty), such as the geographer Xu Xiake, the great painter Bada Shanren, and the calligrapher Dong Qichang. When Xu Xiake visited Lijiang, Mu Zeng specially invited him to his home to guide his son Mu Yi in learning culture so as to "get a glimpse of the cultural context of the Central Plains." It should be noted that Xu Xiake and Mu Zeng were both born in 1587 AD. They are of the same age. They are not like the one in "Mufu" that one is already old and the other is young. ?
Like his father Mu Qing, Mu Zeng also has a sincere yearning for Taoist seclusion in his heart. When he saw Lijiang’s economic prosperity, people’s happiness and prosperity, and his son Mu Yi had grown up, When he reached adulthood, he resolutely and resolutely chose to retire and pass the position of chieftain to his son Mu Yi. He followed his father's traces and lived in seclusion in Nanzhi Mountain, a branch of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and began to "watch the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court." Looking out at the clouds rolling in the sky, I spent the rest of my life studying and studying in a calm and indifferent way. ?
Mu Zengsheng is the author of seven collections of poems and essays, including "Yun Ji", "Kong Cui Ju Lu", and "Yun Xue Dan Mo", with more than 1,000 poems. He is the most accomplished literature writer in the history of the Naxi people. Home.
As the saying goes, behind a successful man there must be a great woman. Mu Zeng’s wife Aleqiu is such a woman. ?
Different from what was written in "Mufu Fengyun", Aleqiu was Mu Zeng's wife from the beginning, but her background was indeed relatively humble. It is said that Alqiu was originally a naturally beautiful pig herding girl in the outer suburbs of Lijiang. She fell in love with Mu Zeng at first sight while traveling incognito. However, because the lovers were not in the same family, Mu Zeng overcame many difficulties and succeeded in marrying Alqiu into Mu Zeng. Mansion.
Aleqiu is not only diligent and capable, but also manages the family well. She also respects the old and cares for the young, helps the poor and the weak. Everyone in the family and the whole family praises and loves her. Over time, the whole of Lijiang knew that there was a smart, kind, hard-working, virtuous, beautiful and noble Mrs. Alqiu in Mufu. Her reputation spread to every mountain peak, every river, and every village of the Naxi people.
As time goes by, people gradually forget the special identity of Aleqiu. The name Aleqiu gradually becomes synonymous with the most beautiful women of the Naxi people and the most noble goddess in the hearts of Naxi women. . ?
It can be said that Aleqiu made Mu Zeng a success, and Mu Zeng also made Aleqiu a success.
