comment

1、 The thatched cottage in Xiangxi is a living and reading hall built by Wang Fuzhi in his later years.

Many ancient buildings were actually used for academies at that time, but they were not named academies. He lived in seclusion for 40 years. He didn't communicate with officials or eat the salary of the imperial court. His life depended on living room lessons. This kind of teaching was the same as private travel. Some of Fu Zhi's works are actually teaching skills, and they are taken away by the students after writing. In his later years, his body was declining, so he just compiled textbooks, and the work of supporting his parents was undertaken by Ji Zi Wang Wu. Wang Wu built a "banana border room" on the side of the thatched cottage, and the students from the tour called him Mr. banana border. Fu Zhi also came to the classroom to give lectures and give advice everywhere, which is very clear in the three handed down records of Xiangxi thatched cottage and various research documents of later generations. Therefore, there is no doubt that the thatched cottage has the function of academy.

2、 Wang Fuzhi's cultural value was gradually discovered in the past three hundred years after countless sages such as Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guoquan, Guo Songtao and so on. Reading the diary of Zeng Guofan's complete works, I know that at that time, the war was very fierce, and Zeng Guofan wanted to deploy his troops to fight against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army on all fronts. This year was the first year of Tongzhi. Zeng Guofan deployed his ninth younger brother Zeng Guoquan to attack Nanjing. It's a life and death battle.

Second watch Enter the inner room at four o'clock and read Zhang Zi Zheng Meng annotated by Wang Ernong (Fu Zhi). (October 5th)

At the third hour of the second watch, I went into the inner room and read several pieces of tongjianlun written by Mr. Wang Ernong, discussing the ancestors, marquis Wu and Lu Zijing. (October 17)

At three o'clock on the second watch, I went into the inner room to read Mr. Wang Ernong's Tongjian Lun by Yang Yi and Sun Zi. (October 28)

At four o'clock in the second watch, I went into the inner room to read the general review by Mr. Wang Ernong, he Yan, etc. (October 29)

At three o'clock on the second watch, I went into the inner room and read several pieces of tongjianlun by Mr. Wang Ernong. (November 1st)

…

Such records sometimes appear uninterruptedly and sometimes intermittently. No matter how the war was fought, he always entered the room late at night and came out of the study in the early morning. The so-called lights on the third shift and the sound of chickens on the fifth shift were vividly interpreted by Zeng Guofan.

By the fifth year of Tongzhi, there were new changes in the records.

Chen Zheng set out to read the book "Xiang Jiu Yi", "she Yi" and "pin Yi". After lunch, I read "four systems of mourning clothes" and supplemented "Touhu" Not yet In the past three days, I have read more books and recorded some simple books Night also criticized the book of rites. When I read this book, I found that I was proofreading the wrong words so that I could fix the board and print again. I was reviewing the whole book, debating the meaning of the classics and correcting the mistakes If I had been in Anqing and Jinling a few years ago, I could not have been so diligent. It was June 20, 1866. Wang Fuzhi was always with him because he was on business and on the road. It was a busy and full day. Before that, Zeng Jiajun had won a decisive victory
