Who carried forward the lofty spirit of Mencius in the history of China?

Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu. Brief introduction of Wen Tianxiang: Wen Tianxiang (1236- 1283) was born in Ji 'an, also known as Ji 'an. He studied at Bailuzhou Academy in Luling, Jiangxi (now Bailuzhou Middle School in Ji 'an). He was promoted to Jinshi at the age of 20. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, he wrote to the emperor as a scholar, opposing surrender, urging resistance, and offering strategies to defend the enemy. When the Yuan Army launched a massive attack, Wen Tianxiang sold all his possessions, organized a loyal rebel army in Ganzhou, and was appointed as the right prime minister in the face of the crisis. He is still actively organizing anti-Yuan. In the first year of Xiangxing (1278), he was defeated and captured in Haifeng, refused all kinds of temptations of the Yuan Dynasty, endured all kinds of tests, and would rather die than surrender. 1283 was killed by the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty. As an outstanding patriotic poet, Wen Tianxiang left us a lot of literary works, including more than 800 poems. After suffering from national subjugation, the patriotic content of Wen Tianxiang's poems was further sublimated, and his art made by going up one flight of stairs. "Who has never died in life since ancient times, keeping the heart of Dan in the history of history" in "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang" is a swan song throughout the ages. Song Zhengqi is his masterpiece. Now the Complete Works of Wen Tianxiang has been published, and there is Wen Tianxiang's tomb in Ji 'an County. Yuan soldiers marched south, and civil and military officials in the Southern Song Dynasty retreated to Guangzhou with the 1 1 year-old Duanzong emperor. Soon, Duanzong died of shock, and everyone planned to go their separate ways. Lu Xiufu, a great scholar, stepped forward: "The ancients only had one brigade and one garrison, and they were able to rejuvenate. There are now hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of soldiers. If the days are endless, why can't they succeed! " At his insistence, Song Jun continued to fight the Yuan Army. Finally, he fled to the imperial court and took Yashan as his base. After many days without food, Yuan soldiers stormed and finally entered the cliff mountain. In order not to be a prisoner, Lu Xiufu shouldered the young master and resolutely jumped into the sea, making a heroic sacrifice. Analysis: There is only one reason why Lu Xiufu can die for his country: loyalty and patriotism. Source: People's Education.
