What kind of person is Zhou Dunyi, and what kind of person Zhou Dunyi is

Zhou Dunyi (117———73), formerly known as Dunshi, avoided the old obscurity of Yingzong, the word Uncle Mao, and was a native of Yingdao, Daozhou (now Hunan County). With his uncle Zheng Xiangyin and Zheng Xiangyin, he was the master of Chu Shi Fenning, and he knew Guiyang, Nanchang County, Hezhou judge, and Qianzhou general judge. At the beginning of Shenzong's Xining, he moved to Guangdong to transfer the judge, and raised the prison, so as to seek knowledge of the Nankang Army, because of the family under the Lotus Peak of Lushan Mountain.

There is a stream in front of the peak, named after the former residence of the camp road, Lianxi, and the scholar is called Mr. Lianxi. He died in the sixth year at the age of fifty-seven. Dun Yi was one of the founders of Taoism in the Song Dynasty, and Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi were both under his disciples.

In the thirteenth year of Ningzong Jiading (122), he was given the title of Yuan Gong, and in the first year of Chunyou (1241), he worshiped Confucius Temple. He is the author of "Taiji Diagram", "Tongshu" and so on. There is a biography in volume 427 of the History of the Song Dynasty.

Zhou Dunyi's poems, based on the Qing Kangxi Zhang Boxing journal "Zhengyitang Collection, Zhou Lianxi Collection", the school is based on the Qing Qianlong Dong Rong Collection "Zhou Lianxi Collection" (referred to as Dong Ben), photocopied Wenyuan Pavilion "Siku Quanshu Zhou Yuan Gongji" (referred to as Siku Ben) and so on. A collection of poems is attached at the end of the volume. Zhou Dunyi, the word Maoshu.

There was also a poet named Zhou Dunyi in the Song Dynasty, that is, the person who wrote about lotus flowers "out of the sludge without staining". History records say that Zhou Dunyi's poetry is the best combination of language and rhythm. Today, when we read Zhou Dunyi's works in Mandarin, this feeling is not obvious.

The so-called coordination of language and rhythm can be given a modern example for everyone to experience. The famous composer Gu Jianfen has a song called "The Little Girl in the Mushroom", Gu Jianfen said that when she created this song, she basically read the lyrics and found the ** melody in the intonation. When we sang this song, the singing tone of "The Little Girl Picking Mushrooms, Carrying a Big Basket" was really close to the recitation, which is one of the reasons why this song is so catchy.

It's a pity that many people who compose lyrics and music don't understand this truth very well. Returning to the question of Zhou Dunyi, the ancients commented on Zhou Dunyi, saying that his poetry is the closest and most consistent with the rhythm, and it is difficult for us to feel it in today's Mandarin, and perhaps the reasonable explanation is that the most suitable language for Zhou Dunyi's poetry may not be today's Mandarin.

Integrity, square behavior, do not envy Rongli, clean and self-conscious.

After Dunyi's death, with the inheritance and development of his philosophy by Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, his reputation gradually became apparent.

Later, (Dunyi) became the general judge of Qianzhou, Zhao Luan was the governor of Qianzhou, carefully observed what he did, and suddenly realized, held his hand and said:

I almost lost a talent like you, and I know you from now on. "At the beginning of Xining, he served as the governor of Chenzhou. Due to the recommendation of Zhao Luan and Lu Gongshu, he became a Guangdong transfer judge and raised the prison, and he took Zhaoxue as his own responsibility.

Because of illness and asked to be reappointed as the Zhijun of the Nankang Army, he placed his home under the Lotus Peak of Lushan, there was a stream in front of the house, and the downstream crossed with the Huanjiang River, so he called this stream by the name of Lianxi, where Yingdao County's hometown is located.
