Historical evaluation

Lin Zexu, a national hero of the Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem entitled "the painting of dream inkstone" on the topic of Tang Zifang: the old rain met the emperor with good intentions, and the liver separated each other to talk about a cup of wine. Show me ancient inkstone cloud full section, er wisp of fate sigh not even. The loyalty is for the king, and the dream is for the old man. On the 19th of the spring day, the market was selling to remember who. I didn't know that the British were lured by each other and chose people to stay for a long time. The road is separated from the Pearl River and Xiakou, and there is no sequence between dream inkstone and inkstone. When I think back to the old days when I was the head of Gu Zhong, the wind in the snow hall roared sadly. Thirty two measures cover the empty bottle, the stone does not burn, only your life. In the past one hundred and seventy years, the spirits of the gods and ghosts have been on guard, and the spirits of the spirits have been immortal. You can treasure this if qiongjiu, the chance of Qing Dynasty practice platform fight. In the past, the judge was called the parents of the people, but now he ascended to the emperor. The son of a famous father is the son of heaven. It is handed down from generation to generation that the inkstone field is better than thousands of mu.

Gu Jiu, curator of Guizhou literature and History Research Institute: during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Tang Shuyi defeated Wuchang because of various constraints, but he resolutely threw himself into the river to sacrifice his life. It's a pity and awe.

Feng Fei, director of Guizhou Writers Association: ancient scholars paid attention to "self-cultivation, family management, governing the country and pacifying the world". It's easy to say, but hard to do! Tang Shuyi, the forerunner of Guizhou literature, made the literati lead the army to the extreme.

Anecdotes and allusions

The origin of dream inkstone

During the reign of Jiaqing, Tang Shuyi accompanied his father Tang yuan to Guangdong. In March 1814, Tang yuanzhun left his post in Qingyuan County and was about to report to his superiors in Guangzhou. At this time, Tang Shuyi was studying in Guangzhou. One day when he was wandering, Tang Shuyi encountered someone selling "xueshengtang inkstone". Tang Shuyi wanted to buy it, but he suspected it was a fake. After playing for a while, I think this inkstone is quaint and elegant, so I will start at last. A few days later, after leaving the company, Tang yuanzhun boarded the boat and set off. He was tired and fell asleep. In my dream, someone who called himself "Chen yanye (i.e. Chen Bangyan)" boarded the boat and came to meet him, saying, "I have a favorite thing at your home. Fortunately, I collect it!" A few days later, father and son met in Guangzhou. Tang yuanzhun asked casually, "what are the ancient people near?" Tang Shuyi then reported the purchase of inkstones. The father and son were both surprised after the communication. Tang Shuyi took the word "dream inkstone" as the name of his study, determined to respect Mr. Chen Bangyan's loyalty and filial piety.

Self motivation

Tang Shuyi was honest and upright as an official. Everywhere they go, there are political voices. Once, he personally wrote a couplet to encourage himself: a poor scholar does not have to be very useful as an official; a man only wants to be sincere.
