Characters and deeds

Zhuang Chang was "bold and outsider since childhood, erudite and fond of ancient learning, with outstanding literary talent". he was elected in the rural examination in the seventh year of Jingtai (1456). In the second year of Chenghua (1466), Jinshi was changed to shujishi, and later he was given the Imperial Academy to review. At that time, the examiners Liu Dingzhi and Ke Qian praised and said, "why is Jiangpu like mountains and rivers, where are these people born?" Zhuang Chang liked to preach in his poems and was a representative writer of Xingqi poetry school in the middle of Ming Dynasty. Zhuang Chang was full of sympathy for the sufferings of the people. In his poem "a sense of giving rice dumplings to the Dragon Boat Festival food", he once wrote: "Ai Hu is hanging in Penglai palace, boats are full of dragon pools, competing for Xiao and drum. Thousands of officials in Zichen class, pay homage to tonglong. Daguanjiaoshu, Zizania latifolia, colorful rope, ten thousand wisps of clouds. Heaven's imperial edict bestows Danbi, and the feast is filled with gold cups. The price of rice in the southeast is as high as jade, and the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers cry when they are hungry. Guan River garrison soldiers 100000, the total to the kitchen pull fly millet. Who can hold this back to wither. I'm ashamed that I'm a long-time person. I'm a vegetarian when I can't save myself. " This poem shows the poet's complex mood of worrying about the country and the people, but no way to return to the sky, through the strong contrast between the Imperial Palace and the Jianghuai area. In November of the third year of Chenghua (1467 A.D.), Zhu Jianshen, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, ignored the vacancy of the national treasury, and the border was in disorder. He planned to set up a large lantern festival to order the civil servants of the imperial court to present poems, sing praises and whitewash peace. Zhuang Chang, together with Zhang Mao and Huang zhongzhao, the editors of Hanlin academy, wrote the book of cultivating saints and virtues Today's pyrotechnics are not the way of Yao and Shun, or the poetry of pyrotechnics is not the words of benevolence and righteousness... " This angered Xianzong. Xianzong thought that they were "the following offenders, rebellious, it is nonsense", tingzhang 20, relegated to Guiyang magistrate. Zhang and Huang were also demoted. Before that, their good friend Luo Lun was also dethroned because of the speech, which made a sensation in the capital, and was known as "four admonitions of the Imperial Academy". Because the ministers tried to persuade the emperor to intercede for Zhuang Chang, they transferred Zhuang Chang to the Deputy Secretary of Nanjing Pedestrian. In the seventh year of Chenghua, Zhuang Chang's parents died one after another. According to the feudal etiquette of "Ding you", he returned to his native place of Pukou. After his death, he refused to be an official again. He lived in seclusion in Dingshan for 27 years, entertaining himself with poems and books, teaching students. When he lived in seclusion, he was poor and clean. Sometimes he used wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger, but he often saved money and food to help the poor. In the 18th year of Chenghua, there was a famine in Pukou. Zhuang Chang not only provided relief to the people in his hometown, but also advised those who had food to give porridge in temples to save the hungry people. He never accepted gifts from bureaucrats. When Zhuang Chang's house was broken, Wang Shu, governor of Jiangsu Province, wanted to give silver fifteen yuan. He refused to say, "can private rooms be run by the government?" At that time, the former but not yet appointed officials visited Zhuang Chang, and he received him in other museums. He did not receive any of the officials who had already taken office, so he called himself "Muzhai". Zhuang Chang lived in seclusion in Dingshan, where he built Dingshan cottage. Around the cottage, he built rockeries with stone piles and planted thousands of bamboo poles. Zhuang Chang himself wrote: "if you plant bamboo in Dingshan, you will have more than 1000 poles on the left and right of Tianfeng Pavilion. Every heavy snow makes the bamboo greener. I feel very comfortable sitting in it. " Beside the thatched cottage, there are Tianfeng Pavilion, banyun Pavilion, Jiyue River, etc., as well as Chunfeng Pavilion, Xiyun Pavilion, Huoshui Pavilion, yuanfeiyuyue Pavilion, Huihai Pavilion, Tiandi Yiwo Pavilion and Donggu Pavilion. Because of the construction of "Shuangquan bridge" and "Huoshui Pavilion" at the confluence of "Zhenzhu" and "zhuoxi", Zhuang Chang called himself "huoshuiweng". Wen Zhengming, one of the four talents in Jiangnan who was instructed by his father to study with Zhuang Chang in Ming Dynasty, visited Zhuang Chang in Dingshan thatched cottage many times and wrote the poem "Mr. Ye Zhuang staying in Dingshan thatched cottage". The poem said: "ten acres of green pine are surrounded by mountains, and the thatched cottage is like a turbulent flow. If not for Qing Fu'an's arrival, a hundred visits to Gao Xian would be a temporary leisure. Bamboo garden cloud autumn wash, water Chung for pillow night murmur. The state affairs and people have to be concerned about what can be envied. " During his seclusion, the Ministry of rites repeatedly asked him to return to Beijing to serve. He abandoned it and was slandered by Qiu Jun, a scholar of the University. In the seventh year of Hongzhi (1494), He Jian, the governor, went to the mountain to persuade him to do so. However, due to the obstruction of Qiu Jun and others, he became the Deputy Secretary of Nanjing Pedestrian department, and later promoted to the doctor of Nanjing Ministry of officials. Less than 2 years after his comeback, he came back to Dingshan again because of wind disease. In 1499, Zhang Chang died at the age of 62. After his death, many local officials and people offered sacrifices to "Xiangxian Temple" for him. Jiajing years, Jiangpu County built "Dingshan Temple" to commemorate him. In the first year of Tianqi (1621), it was named Wenjie by Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty. He is also a famous scholar. He has many opinions on inheriting Cheng Zhu's Neo Confucianism, which are quite agreed by the contemporaries and later generations. Therefore, he is known as a "Neo Confucianist". There are 10 volumes of Dingshan anthology, which are included in Siku Quanshu.

Yao Shan Tang waiji

Zhuang Changxi wrote a poem about baojiefu, which says: "twenty husbands abandon their concubines, and all the brothers and sisters are poor. Have been willing to die with the decline of leaf, do not sweep moth eyebrow do not marry. There are still tears before the fossils are formed, although wuluan is not surprised by the dust. Lock the window and face the east wind tree alone. The flowers bloom every year and he will be in spring. " Luo Yifeng said: "you can cry ghosts and gods." Chang didn't think so. But heaven and earth, irises, old eyes, feet and so on are the best clouds. Chen Gongfu used the sun and the moon in his poems, while Zhuang Kongyang used the universe in his poems. A mocker said, "Gongfu chants the sun and the moon in the dynasty, and Zhuangzi makes fun of the universe in the day." Zhuang Dingshan's poem: "give me a pot of Tao Jing Festival and give him two Shao Yaofu poems." Some funny people changed to be foreign officials, and "reply to Beijing official Baoju" says: "give me two bags of Chen Fukien, and give him a good Nanjing." He who hears it cheers.

The poem says: "this old man makes intestines with pig iron, and each poem carries the fragrance of plum flowers. If you know the source only fisherman, self-confidence rough than Chu crazy. The river and the sea are high, the wind and the clouds are rolling, and the heaven and earth are healthy. Today, when people go to the grave, the pines and cypresses often have snow and frost The stele still stands intact in front of the tomb.
