be concerned about one 's country and one 's people

Li Xingqi knows great things and is concerned about the country and the people. When he was young, he was determined to study. In the heyday of the Qianlong and Jiaqing dynasties, he became a scholar and an academician. He had already cherished the country's great plan, the world's safety and the hardships of the local culture. However, when he lived in the scholar bureaucrat class and tried to make the country prosperous and strong, in the late years of Jiaqing, when the Qing Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, and in the years of Daoguang and Xianfeng, when the internal affairs were abandoned and foreign aggression was frequent, he witnessed the increasingly corrupt government affairs and the fatalness and incompetence of the Emperor Daoguang, and felt that the state was doing nothing. When he realized that the Qing government was bent on foreign aggression and was unwilling to pay for it, he had to borrow poems from ancient times to express his sincerity and wrote "who praises the temple is self destructive.". The attack of all kinds of battles has been abolished, and the partial security situation has become a reality. Where is Huanglong's mansion? It's wild, and the clouds are at dusk. " The poem, issued a "look back on the Han and Tang people to do, heaven and earth, a few brilliant." The long sigh of "seeing red sheep become a catastrophe" reflects the fact that the Chinese nation has become a semi colonial and semi feudal society.

Return to Sichuan to teach

Li Xing is a teacher who takes education as his duty. After resigning and returning to Sichuan, he did not forget the fate of his motherland, and placed the heavy task of saving the hard times on Qingjin's students. He first lectured in Chengdu Jinjiang Academy for 20 years, and then lectured in Santai, Jiange, Meishan and Luzhou for 7 years. In his teaching, he broke through the tradition of "governing the country by means of classics" and said, "at the end of exegesis, we should not teach by means of utilitarianism and wisdom." It advocates that "asking is learning, easy to ask is learning, good to ask is learning", "learning is questioning, small doubt is small progress, big doubt is big progress". It is also an opportunity for the doubter to realize, and a way of learning to realize and improve. He has been engaged in education for 34 years and devoted himself to cultivating talents. Many incorruptible officials, civil and military intellectuals, and social sages at home and abroad all came from his family. According to the folk song, "all the scholars in the world are disciples, and all the scholars in Sichuan are students." he is praised for his achievements and prestige in his educational career.

Refuse to accept senior officials

Li Xing is upright, honest, self-supporting and indifferent. After he became a scholar at the age of 32, his self-esteem was still very simple and his family was very humble, but he didn't mind. When people are in trouble, they will help generously. The income from lectures will be shared with their brothers. At the end of the year, it is expected that those who are difficult to live through the year will always ask their family how much they will give someone and how much they will give someone. In his later years, he accompanied a Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain to visit the famous mountains and rivers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong. After returning, he tasted and said: "there will be mutiny in the world." In the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860), the Yunnan volunteers marched into Sichuan. They recommended Li Xing, the old Chengda trainee, to Zhao Shucheng and asked him to supervise the regiment training. Emperor Xianfeng also knew that he had high expectations in Sichuan, and ordered him to be appointed as the ambassador of the regiment training. Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan Province, asked Liu Rong of FanTai to urge him again and again, but he refused. It expresses his high integrity of refusing to accept high official position and wealth, not being greedy for honor and wealth, and being willing to accept poverty.
