Tian Zhuan was born in the ninth year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1495), and was admitted to high school in the sixteenth year of Zhengde (152 1) with his outstanding talent of "being the first in Chinese literature and poetry at the end of the Tang Dynasty". In the sixth year of Jiajing (1527), he was taken in by Li Wenyan, Youxi County. Tian Zhuan was one of the "four great talents" in the late Ming Dynasty. He took the word "Tai Su" from his hometown of Tai Su.
Why did Tian Chuanzhong go back to his hometown to repair the county annals after he was a scholar? Where is his hometown Tai Su? Why was it not recorded in the later county annals? With these questions, we came to Meilin Village, Shangjing Town, Datian County, where Tian Zhuan was born. Datian County is not well-known in China, but in 20 19, with the song "After I was Born in Datian" becoming popular on the Internet, many people remembered the name Datian County.
The car slowly drove into Meilin, and the lotus garden, photovoltaic corridor, park and Tianzu house on both sides of the road merged into a unique cultural landscape, which told us one by one that this is a village with beautiful ecology, prosperous industry, rich culture and talented people. It's midsummer, and I've been amazed by Xiahe for several days. Every time I see it, the area is increasing. Finally, I couldn't help it. I looked up the flower language of lotus, which is naive, faithful, pure, loyal and loving. What's the point of seeing lotus flowers so frequently this year? ?
Because the purpose is clear, we dare not covet the beautiful scenery and go straight to Meilin Village. The people who met are already waiting in the village department. After a brief greeting, they immediately consulted the information and discussed it. The mystery about Tian's life experience was slowly uncovered.
Meilin, formerly known as Meiling, belongs to the 35th capital of Youxi County in Ming Dynasty. In the 15th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1536), Datian County was established in the southwest of Youxi County, which was divided into 30-39 and 44-48 capitals. Tian Zhuzhong was a scholar, and his father Tian Zhuzhuan died while mourning for his mother. Tian Zhuan returned to his hometown to observe filial piety for his father for three years, and his father was buried next to Tianhu Temple in Lianhuafeng, south of Youxi County. During this period, I was employed by Li Wenyan, the magistrate of Youxi County, to compile Youxi County Records.
Tian Chuan was most happy to be praised for discovering and cultivating a heavyweight who had a great influence on the Ming Dynasty. In the fifteenth year of Jiajing, Tian Zhuan, then the general manager of Huguang, came to Jingzhou. He heard that there was a child prodigy in jiangling county who was only 12 years old, so he invited him for an interview. The test question was "Fu, a child prodigy in Nanjun". The prodigy handed in his paper soon, and Tian Jue was very surprised by Yingmin's unsurpassed article, and immediately made it up as a government student. This prodigy is Zhang, and Tian Zhuan is therefore called Bole who discovered Zhang. In the 18th year of Jiajing (1539), Tian Zhuan founded Lianxi Academy in Jiujiang, and Zhang became his disciple. They have established a profound friendship between teachers and students. In the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), Tian Zhuan died of illness in his hometown. At that time, the university students and Ministry of War officials wrote an epitaph for him, and the master and bachelor Zhang of the Hanlin Academy made an epitaph seal.
Meilin men are all surnamed Tian, and there is a colloquial saying in Daejeon, "Kui Chenglian, Mei Lintian". Merlin's "three fields" include Tian Jue, Yi Tian and Tian Yi. They are not celebrities in the whole country or Fujian, but they are enough to support a historical context for Meilin and even Datian County. The statue of "Tammy" stands in the park, not long after it was built, but in Meilin, Mr. "Tammy" has stood in the hearts of the people for hundreds of years and has become the spiritual belief of the people.
Separated from the park all the way, it is Tian's ancestral hall, named "Qiantang Temple". The high platform of the ancestral temple tells visitors that Tian's ancestors once enjoyed glory and respect. Qiantang Temple is an antique building with a raised double-eaved roof, which embodies the exquisite art of ancient architecture. Qiantang Temple is not only grand in scale, but also breathtaking. It is a cultural propaganda with the theme of clean government, which is not only related to Mr. Tammy's official life, but also embodies Mei Lintian's educational concept of being proud of honesty.
The mountain opposite Qiantang Temple looks like a plum blossom landing, hence the name Meishan. In winter, this mountain is covered with snow, and Tian's father nicknamed it "Tai Su Mountain". When Tian Chuan compiled the Jiajing edition of Youxi County Chronicle, Meiling still belonged to Youxi, and Tian Chuan specially included "Tai Su Mountain" in the County Chronicle.
Homesickness is the deepest memory in everyone's heart. Tian Zhuan left Meilin at the age of six and settled in Youxi County. But it was not until more than a hundred years later that his grandson Tian remembered the mountain of Meiling. At that time, Meiling belonged to Datian County, but when Tian compiled the Chongzhen edition of Youxi County annals, he still included "Tai Su Mountain" in the county annals, but all other peaks indicated their positions and which capital they belonged to, only the mountain was vague, which should be due to the selfishness of not forgetting their ancestral home.
Although Tian Chuan was a little selfish when compiling Youxi county annals, he included the lesser-known Tai Su Mountain in Youxi county annals, and Tian even included the mountain in Youxi county annals. Now there is no record, but compared with the compilation of Youxi county annals by three generations, he continued the historical context of Youxi, which is nothing and can forgive their simple selfishness. After all, with them, Youxi people can better understand history and continue the context.
