Lu Nangong

Lu Nangong

Lu Nangong (about 1047-1086), a Confucian, is called Nangong for short. Fengyi Township, junnancheng County, Jianchang (now in the area of Qiufang Township, Lichuan County, Jiangxi Province). He is a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. Rich in knowledge, all books are read, and Chen Yan is not fond of writing. In the middle of Xining (around 1073 A.D.), scholars highly praised Wang Su, Ma Rong and Xu Shen's works, and plagiarized the art of copying. Nangong alone could not do it well. When he did not meet Li Wei, he retired to the garden and wrote books. He also borrowed the historical pen to describe the history of Qi. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty (1086 AD), ten scholars were set up. Zeng zhaoshu said that he wanted to be an official and to be a soldier. Nangong wrote 20 volumes of Guanyuan collection, and the general textual research of literature was handed down to the world.

Main story

Talented young people

When I was a few years old, I kept a diary. Shao Changyi (diligent), who knows his meaning, reason and learning, is an ancient poem. He especially likes Han tuizhi (Han Yu, the head of the eight great schools in Tang and Song Dynasties and the advocator of the ancient prose movement in Tang Dynasty) as an article, and he is more proud of the ancient way (writing carries the truth, and he is responsible for morality and justice, and he advocates that the article should be applied to the world, and he opposes the affixing of Chen Yan). Deng Shengqiu (Deng Runfu, born in Lichuan County, was a student of Ligou with Zeng Gong. He was an effective general of Wang Anshi's political reform movement. He once knew Fuzhou. He served as Minister of the Ministry of officials, the Ministry of rites and the Ministry of military affairs. He worshipped Zuo Cheng and was posthumously named "Anhui") and stayed in the second garden. When he met Nangong, he talked with him. He was very surprised. He settled in zhaiguan and talked with him day and night. When the time was right, shengqiufang's words were more important than his morality. As a result, his reputation broke out, and people began to know that Nangong was conceited. In the early days of Xining, he tried to go to the ritual Department of the capital with Xiang Jian (Zhou Xian Jian Ju), but failed. Zeng Zixuan (Zeng Bu, a native of Nanfeng, a younger brother of Zeng Gong, a former Hanlin scholar and a monk of the third division) Gao Qicai condemned his son yanri to stay in the hotel. Nangong left without any thanks. After returning home, he sighed with emotion: "if I have rafter houses for my body and two bowls of rice for my belly (Shenshi, 3-5 p.m.), then I have been in Wenshang for a long time. Here, Nangong seems to have the intention of turning his place into a saint of Wenshang and Umbi. Those who know agree with each other. So he set up a farm to build a house in the West Village of Fengyi and called himself Mr. Guanyuan.

Characteristics of poetry

He highly praised Han Yu's Liu Zongyuan's writings. He imitated Han Yu's "sending the poor" and wrote "the poor ghost" in the five ancient books, which said: "follow me for 30 years, and I will not refuse to work. Lure me to the debt platform and hold the root of sorrow for me. " Also see the poverty of his situation. He made great efforts to improve his writing and opposed plagiarism. His "Zhongshan feelings" said: "writing poems to understand Junyi, hate less moon exposed body." Therefore, poetry is also less decorative and more argumentative. Scenery and lyricism are not good, so the tone is not enough. However, he is very concerned about the life of the lower class. He expresses his sympathy and simple language in poetry, such as the abandoned children of the western family, the remarriage of the poor women, the humiliation of the beggars, the suffering of the old woodcutter and the sorrow of the Tsingtao.

The article is classic and beautiful

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Nei Hanyi (a Jinshi in the same year of Wang Anshi) was surprised to meet jianchangjun. He stayed on the county couch and was very tired for ten days. It was a decree that the imperial court issued to the world ten imperial examiners, namely "ten subjects recommendation order", which was recommended by Sima Guang to implement. It included "one is that virtue is pure and solid, which can be used as a model subject; two is that integrity and integrity, which can be used as a reference subject; three is that wisdom and bravery are outstanding." It can be used for generals; it can be used for supervisors; it can be used for being just and intelligent; it can be used for teaching and reading; it can be used for consulting; it can be used for writing; it can be used for listening to lawsuits; it can be used for public and private affairs; it can be used for practicing laws and regulations; it can be recommended as "it can be used for writing" . Zeng Wenzhao (Zeng Gong's younger brother, Minister of Li, Li, Hu and Xing, and Zhongshu Sheren, posthumous title of "Wenzhao", posthumous title of "Kaiguo Hou" of Qufu county) was also a member of the Imperial Academy. He was also recommended as a "teacher with pure virtue". Zeng Sheren Gong (a litterateur, one of the eight great writers in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and a scholar in the official and Zhongshu school) said that his study was a kind of literature. He didn't do popular studies, lived in poverty and kept the way, and hoped for the ancients. Su Nei Hanshi (a writer and poet, one of the eight great masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, official to Hanlin bachelor, Zhongshu Sheren) and other famous officials all took nangongsuo as a literary critic in the forbidden area (next to the palace, where the minister worked). He wanted to be an official, but died before he could. His thirty volume collection of Mr. Guanyuan has been lost. According to Yongle Dadian, Siku Library of Qing Dynasty compiled 20 volumes.

The vernacular version of Nangong Zhuan

What Lu Nan Gong wrote in an article is all about Jianchang Nancheng people. Chen CE once bought a mule that could not be saddled. He did not have the heart to transfer it to others and let people keep it in the thatched cottage in the wild, waiting for his own death. Chen CE's son discussed with his cunning agent that when the officials passing by died, he broke the back of the mule to show off that the mule could carry something and sell it. The mule had been sold. Chen CE heard about it and went to catch up with the official himself, telling him that the mule could not be saddled. The official suspected that Chen CE was reluctant to sell the mule, so he hid it from Chen CE. Chen CE asked to have a try with a saddle. The mule's spine was so high that he couldn't put a saddle on it all day. The officials then thank him and returned the mule. A man came to Chen CE to buy Silverware and Luo Qi, but Chen CE didn't give him Luo Qi. The man said, "I saw Luo Qi in your warehouse before. Why are you so stingy now?" Chen CE said: "well, a man died after borrowing money from Luo Qi as a mortgage. Luo Qi has been there for a long time. The silk is fragile and not durable. I heard that you want to use Luo Qi as your daughter's dowry. How can you use this kind of thing to worry you?" Chen CE took the silverware that should be given to him and put it into a very prosperous charcoal fire. He said, "I'm afraid the person who mortgaged this thing may not get the real silverware, so I'll test it for you." There was a man named Wei Zheng who bought abalone. The market agent played with a scale hammer and secretly called Wei Zheng abalone. The abalone man left. He himself stayed at Wei Zheng's side and asked, "what you bought is only five Jin. I have secretly doubled the weight of abalone for you. May you give me wine to eat." Wei Zheng was surprised to hear that. He chased the abalone seller and asked him to come back several miles later. He paid him the extra abalone. Wei Zheng invited the market agent to drink good wine and said, "you just want some wine. Why cheat the poor people?" There was a man named Zeng Shuqing who bought a batch of pottery and wanted to transfer it to the north for exchange, but he didn't make it. Someone went to Zeng Shuqing and asked him to sell the pottery to him. Zeng Shuqing gave the pottery to him. He had already received the money and still asked, "where are we going to transport these things now?" The man said, "I want to follow your previous plan." Zeng Shuqing said, "no, because there has just been a famine in the north, so I don't need to exchange these pottery. Should I not tell you now so that you will suffer?" So he stopped selling pottery to that man. In fact, Zeng Shuqing's family was very poor, and his wife and daughter suffered from hunger and cold, so he did not worry.
