Personal works

Li Weizhen is a famous litterateur in the late Ming Dynasty. He entered the Imperial Academy in the year of his weak crown. He was well-known, and was as famous as Xu mu, who lived in the same hall. At that time, there was a saying in the hall: "if you can't remember, ask Lao Xu; if you can't do it, ask Xiao Li." He had a high reputation in the literary world. The history of the Ming Dynasty said that he had been famous for 40 years. In Sikuquanshu, there are 134 volumes of damishanfangji, 6 volumes of poetry and 128 volumes of essays. His poetry, calligraphy and painting are extensive and brilliant. As a famous scholar in the late Ming Dynasty, the biography of Wen Yuan in the history of Ming Dynasty equates him with Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming, Xu Wei, Wang Shizhen and Dong Qichang. Modern literature researchers regard Li Weizhen as "the leader of the seven sons school" and "the first of the last five sons" after Wang Shizhen and Wang Daokun. What is more valuable is that in his career of being an official and a writer, he had a brand-new concept of social morality, literature and art at the same time. First of all, his view of superiority and inferiority was quite different from the old order and ideas of feudal officialdom at that time. He had a high official position and distinguished nobility, but he was "easy-going and broad-minded" and liked to make friends from all walks of life. In the late Ming Dynasty, which did not care much about the sequence of scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce, he played down the differences among officials, Confucians, scholars and merchants, and did not discriminate against good merchants and good merchants. "There is no empty day for domestic petitioners" and "the inscription on the tablet shines on the four ethnic groups". And he responded to every request, so that the disciples took the opportunity to get money from the rich and asked Li Shoubi on his behalf. A large number of valuable biographies and social historical materials are preserved in the anthology of damishanfang. He also set up a biography for businessmen, entitled "preface to Li Ruheng", which shows that Li Weizhen had an open mind in the historical evolution of the late Ming Dynasty, reflecting the formation of mercantilism in the late Ming Dynasty, full of new humanistic atmosphere. It was a great thing at the time.

In 1583, Li Weizhen wrote a preface to the instructions to the son of man

Wanli Guiwei (1583) was born at the age of Meng Chun. He was given the title of Jinshi, a senior official in Yazhong, a right member of the Chief Secretary of Henan Province, a former Vice Minister of Shaanxi Province, Fengchi Tidu school, and a compilation of national history by Hanlin Academy.

Around the 31st year of Wanli (1603), Li Weizhen of Jingshan wrote a preface to chengtianfu Zhi

He was a scholar of Jin Dynasty, a senior Chinese official, and the Chief Secretary of Henan Province. He took part in politics and served as the chief inspector.

Only Chu has talent

However, the source of chuyoucai comes from Zuozhuan, the 26th year of Xianggong: "although chuyoucai, Jin applied it."

It was in the Yuan Dynasty that "although Chu has talent" was first changed into "only Chu has talent". In the sequel to Tongjiang written by Fang Hui, sending Changde to teach Zhao Jun, it was said that "only Chu has talent".

The inscription of Wang Shizhen's Yanzhou mountain people's four manuscripts, Yanzhou sequel volume and 97's Chronicles of Zhongfeng official in Guangxi and other places where he was appointed to be an official in Wuhua Li cemetery says: "only Chu has talent, but Pu is a good Jue."

Wang Shizhen (1526-1590), Yuanmei, named Fengzhou, also known as Yanzhou mountain people. Zhili Taicang prefecture (now Taicang City, Jiangsu Province) people. Jiajing 26 years (1547) Jinshi, official to the Ministry of punishment in Nanjing Shangshu. He is a famous writer and historian in Ming Dynasty. "Wuhua Li Gong" refers to Li Shu, a native of Jingshan in Huguang. Li Shu (1517-1581), whose name is Meng, was born in Wuhua mountain. He was a Jinshi in 1550. His son, Li Weizhen (1547-1626), was a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing (1568). He was a minister of rites in Nanjing and presented to the crown prince as a gift. Li Weizhen is a famous litterateur in Ming Dynasty. He was named "the last five sons". He was the leader of the seven sons school after Wang Shizhen and Wang Daokun. He wrote 134 volumes of damishanfangji.

According to the inscription of Li cemetery in Wuhua, Li Shu died on the 29th day of the first month of Xinsi in Wanli, that is, March 4, 1581. According to the general law, the epitaph should be written in 1581 (the ninth year of Wanli) or shortly after. Moreover, the "chuyoucai" here refers to the "Hubei" people. Wang Shizhen's epitaph is a model of giving "only chuyoucai" to the object of reference.

Coincidentally, Li Weizhen also used the word "Wei Chu you Cai", which can be seen in the preface to Da Yin Shan Ren's manuscripts in volume 12 of Da Mi Shan Fang Ji So that later generations will be called prosperous and virtuous in Ming Dynasty, capable of upholding Chu state, and equal to the ancient Gongqing officials. They will not borrow money from worldly wealth, but put emphasis on their opinions. " Because of the existence of the inscription of Li cemetery in Wuhua, Li Weizhen's "Wei Chu talented" should come from Wang Shizhen's "only Chu talented".

At the beginning of the preface to the collection of houses in Baiyun Mountain written by the Qing Long of Taichang temple in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, he said, "only Chu has talent." There is another sentence in the preface: "today, fortunately, Yundu, Li Benning, the supreme historian, was named Lu Lingguang. He was also called a master craftsman of a generation, and he had a great career." Li Weining is also known as Li Weizhen.

From the beginning of Fang Hui's writing in 1296 to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, after being quoted and publicized by literary leaders such as Wang Shizhen and Li Weizhen, after about 320 years, the new word "only Chu has talent" has gradually become popular and has become a consensus. It is not only a literary word, but also a concept. During the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, the Hubei writers represented by Li Weizhen showed a bright light with a strong reality, which confirmed the value and charm of "only Chu has talent".
