Hong Zhou’s fight against Qianlong, Guangxu’s yogurt, coffins placed in Qi Baishi’s courtyard. Master Hong Yi became a monk, and his life was actually about having fun.

There is "The Complete Works of Qi Gong" published in the world.
Qi Gong is known as the "Contemporary Calligraphy Saint". He edited "Manuscripts of Qing History" and annotated "Dream of Red Mansions". And his life is more exciting than his knowledge. He is the ninth generation grandson of Emperor Yongzheng and an orphan in troubled times. He only attended high school but worked as a professor at the university. He determined to be a painter and became a disciple of Qi Baishi, but he became famous for his calligraphy. He was initiated by the Panchen Lama and became a disciple of Master Yonghe Gongbai Puren, but he kept silent about it. He and his wife have an old-fashioned marriage, but he said that he has never regretted marrying her in the past decades...
"Fearless and Worryless" is a collection of essays on the life of the Chinese classics master Qi Gong, telling the story of his growth from an orphan to a great master. road.
Mr. Qi Gong's language is easy to understand, but it makes people's knowledge soar. Compared with those boring historical materials, people feel more comfortable and can't help but remember a lot of unknown knowledge.
The article "My name is Qi Gong" reads: My name is Qi Gong, with the courtesy name Yuan Bai, also known as Yuan Bo. I am a Manchu, or Manchu for short, and I belong to the Zhenglan Banner.
Manchus have many surnames. In Manchu, the surname is "Hala". Many Manchu surnames have corresponding Chinese surnames. For example, the surname "Wanyan" is a surname passed down from the Jin Dynasty. When transliterated into a Chinese surname, it is "Wang"; "close". So now many people with the surname Wang and Guan are descendants of the Wanyan and Guarjia families, and of course more of them have the original Han surname. This is also a manifestation of national integration.
Since my name is Qi Gong, of course my surname is Qi Minggong. Some people say: Isn’t your surname Aisin Gioro and your first name Qigong? Many people write my first and last name in this way when writing to me, and some even use new punctuation, adding a little between Aixinjueluo and Qigong. Some people call me "Jin Qigong". In this regard, I want to clarify my name. "Aixin" is a Jurchen language. As a surname, it has been around since the Jin Dynasty. According to the free translation, it is "Jin", but the word "Jueluo" did not exist at that time. "Jueluo" is the transliteration of Manchu gioro. It originally meant "alone". According to the Qing Dynasty system: Nurhaci's father Takshi is called the Dazong, and his direct descendants are called "clan", wearing golden belts, commonly known as "yellow belts". Takshi's father, Jue Chang'an, has six brothers, commonly known as "the clan". The descendants of these uncles, uncles, brothers and younger brothers who are not the "big sect" of Nurhaci in Takshi are called "Jueluo" and wear red belts, commonly known as "red belts". The clan status is also controlled by the clan government. They also enjoyed political and economic privileges, which were not abolished until after the Qing Dynasty.
In the Qing Dynasty, this "Jueluo" was used as the suffix and added to a certain surname. For example, the famous writer Lao She's original surname was "Shu Shu", and later he added "Jueluo". It was called "Shu Shujueluo", and Lao She took the word "Shu" from "Shu Shu" as his own surname, and split the second word "Shu" into the word "She" and "Yu" to make his own The name is Shu Sheyu. Similarly, the suffix "Jueluo" was added to the end of "Aixin" and became "Aixinjueluo" as the surname of this clan. In other words, there was no surname "Aixinjueluo" originally. It was added and changed by later generations. Besides, "Jueluo" means clan, but it is just a clan other than "Dazong". After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, it would be meaningless to emphasize this "Jueluo". This is the reason why I don't want to use "Aixinjueluo" as my surname from the perspective of the origin and evolution of the surname itself.
In the article "Anecdotes of Fu Jen Catholic University", a jingle was compiled in response to the current situation and some things in the school, "When the silver yuan rises, you need silver yuan; when the silver yuan falls, you need white flour. Buy two, sell two, count back and forth, count. It makes no profit at all. It makes the accountant dazzled and the students can’t afford to eat. I’m afraid I’ll lose money if I throw it away.” The article still treats life with humor and optimism even when life is difficult. For people today, it is indeed worthy of our deep thought.
In the article "Playing with things without losing one's one's ambition", "playing with things without losing one's one's one's one's one's will" is found in "Shangshu". It seems that "playing with things" and "losing one's one's ambition" have a certain causal relationship. In modern times, Mr. Ye Xia'an of Panyu had a collection of seals with the inscription "Play with things without losing one's ambition." Qi Gong talks about Wang Shixiang, a plaything master who never loses his ambition. He is well versed in Chinese classical literature and can write ancient prose, parallel prose, poetry, and lyrics. Write a European calligraphy hand, and draw a landscape and flowers in a deep and imaginary way. He likes to raise birds, eagles, and ferocious dogs, and he can hunt... Wang Shixiang's "playthings" are not "playing things" but "studying things"; he is not "dead" but "determined". He published books based on what he obtained from ancient and modern classics, ancestors, and folk artists, which he verified with his decades of hard work.
In this book, Qi Gong talks about ancient and modern times, the human world, and art. Why don’t you want to be named Aixinjueluo? Fighting Qianlong with Prince Hong Zhou, the tragedy of the Tongzhi Emperor and Empress's family, the yogurt Guangxu drank before his death, Prince Gong learning Tang poetry, Qi Baishi placing a coffin in the courtyard, Pu Xinshe and Zhang Daqian's collaboration in painting, why Master Hongyi became a monk, Yangzhou Salt Merchant The relationship with culture... Listen to the masters talk about life experiences and knowledge mysteries, learn how the masters conduct themselves, and start your own wise life.
