Inspiration, energy, to the people, the source of the inextinguishable voice?

Liu Zongyuan set up ambitions when he was young, admired "the ancient husband is promising", and longed for "inspiring talents, rejuvenating skills, and making great health to the people, and the voice of immortality". At the age of 25, he was already a Chang'an genius who was "the first in the article", and he had just been admitted to the erudite and rhetorical department, and he was newly married to the daughter of Yang Ping, the head of the literary world, and gradually became a leader in the literary world. In the following years, Liu Zongyuan became the backbone of the reformist faction of Wang Shuwen, the teacher of the emperor at that time, and was ready to display his ambition of "auxiliary time transitive" and "Li'an Kaiyuan" with enthusiasm and spirit.

However, because Emperor Shunzong Li Yu had already suffered a stroke when he ascended the throne, and his speech was not clear, although he had the intention to reform the government, he was already more than willing and insufficient, and the eunuchs and feudal towns were powerful, so the reform was only implemented for a few months and ended in failure. In August of the fourth year of Yuanhe, the crown prince Li Chun, who opposed the innovation, ascended the throne, and in September, Liu Zongyuan was immediately demoted to Shaozhou assassin, and he was not halfway through, and the court thought that the punishment was too light, and he changed to Yongzhou Sima. At that time, a total of eight people were demoted, including Liu Yuxi and others, which was known as the "Eight Sima Incident" in history.

The failure of the "Yongzhen Reform" was a heavy blow to the politically ambitious Liu Zongyuan, but it was not a good thing for his literary creation. At that time, Yongzhou was "plagued by raccoon rats in the grass, and ten times a night and ten times were shocked and injured", which was equivalent to Siberia in Russia, and the so-called "Yongzhou Sima was placed outside the same staff", which was actually an idle post outside the establishment, and there was no official residence or specific position. Liu Zongyuan's family lived in a small deserted temple, and before half a year, his mother also passed away.

In addition to mental depression and grief, Liu Zongyuan, who was in the prime of life, was getting worse and worse, riddled with diseases, and was weak to the extent that "when he walked, his knees trembled, and when he sits, his hips were paralyzed". But the fresh landscape of Yongzhou gave Liu Zongyuan a lot of comfort and sustenance, he quickly cheered up from pessimism and frustration, walked all over the mountains and rivers of Yongzhou and intersected with Tian Weng farmers, away from the open and secret struggle on the **, and returned to the idyllic life, he thought that the mountains and rivers of Yongzhou were abandoned and ignored by the world like himself, and wrote many prose that admired the mountains and rivers of Yongzhou through the ages. Mr. Yu Qiuyu commented on Liu Zongyuan's 10 years of Yongzhou in "Liuhou Temple", he said:

The calamity also gave him a sense of tranquility, allowing him enough time to meet nature and talk to himself! Indeed, the 10 years in Yongzhou were the darkest and most sentimental years of Liu Zongyuan's life, but they were the 10 years with the richest literary creation and comprehensive maturity of his philosophical thoughts.

Liuzhou City was the place where the Tang Dynasty writer Liu Zongyuan was relegated.

In the first month of the 10th year of Yuanhe (815), Liu Zongyuan received an edict asking him to return to Beijing immediately. In February, after more than a month of trekking, Liu Zongyuan returned to Chang'an. In Chang'an, Liu Zongyuan was not reused, and due to the hatred of Wu Yuanheng and others, he did not agree to reactivate.

On 14 March, Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Liuzhou (in present-day Liuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region) to serve as assassin.

At the end of March of the 10th year of Yuanhe (815), Liu Zongyuan set out from Chang'an to Liuzhou, and arrived on June 27. In the fourteenth year of Yuanhe (819), Xianzong implemented a general amnesty, and Xianzong, under the persuasion of Pei Du, summoned Liu Zongyuan to return to Beijing. On the eighth day of November, before the edict reached Liuzhou, Liu Zongyuan died of illness in Liuzhou.

He was 47 years old.

Liu Zongyuan (773 A.D. - 819 A.D.), the word is thick, Han nationality, a native of Hedong County (now Yongji, Yuncheng, Shanxi) in the Tang Dynasty, the ancestor was an official for generations, and the seventh ancestor Liu Qing was a servant of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he was the Duke of Yin. He had two major activities in his life: one was to participate in the Yongzhen Reform, and the other was to lead the Guwen Movement.

Both of these are related to his ideas of reviving Confucianism and applying it to the world. He not only practiced the political ideal of "inspiring talents, rejuvenating skills, bringing great well-being to the people, and dying voices", but also clearly put forward the proposition of "literati use the way of enlightenment" and "auxiliary time transitivity" and the principle of taking Confucian classics as the "source of the way".

Liu Zongyuan's mother is unknown, only know that she is from the Fan Yang Lu family's Northern Ancestor Emperor's master's room, and her ancestors for five consecutive generations are Confucian, so it can be known that her mother should be knowledgeable and courteous, but in ancient times, she could only teach her husband and children at home, and she was a full-time housewife by modern standards

Overview of Fan Yang Lu:

Fanyang Lu clan, in the Middle Ages of China, a family surnamed Lu with Fanyang County as the county.

Fan Yang Lu is from the surname Jiang, a descendant of the Qi State, and received the surname Lu because of the fief Lu Yi (now Changqing County, Shandong Province). In the Qin and Han dynasties, the descendants of the Lu family moved to the Zhuoshui area and settled in Zhuoxian. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lu Zhi quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the Lu family started from there.

During the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Fanyang Lu clan further rose, under the planning of Li Chong, the Fanyang Lu clan and the Qinghe Cui clan, the Taiyuan Wang clan, and the Xingyang Zheng clan were able to conclude a marriage with the Northern Wei royal family, and were set as the four surnames by Emperor Wei Xiaowen, and the Fanyang Lu clan married three Northern Wei princesses, which were considered to be glory at that time. During the Tang Dynasty, the Fanyang Lu family was still a first-class family with Shandong county surnames, ranking seven surnames and ten families, with eight prime ministers.

Overview of the Northern Ancestor Emperor's Room of the Fan Yang Lu Clan:

The emperor's room, Lu Yan's great-grandson, the three sons of Lu Jing, the three sons of Lu Jing, Lu Jingyu, Lu Wei, and Lu Guang were respectively the teachers of Emperor Gao Cheng of Qi Wenxiang, Emperor Yuwen Yong of Zhou, and Emperor Tuoba of Emperor Wei Gong.

Liu Zongyuan's mother, Lu, was born in the famous scholar family surnamed Fan Yang Lu, but the family has long declined.

She had two daughters and a son, and Liu Zongyuan was the youngest. The two daughters are married to the Cui clan of Shandong and the Pei clan of Hedong, both of whom are declining old scholars. Liu Zongyuan said with great emotion that the Liu family has reached his generation."

Five or six have been since then, and there has been no one who has been a pilgrim." The Anshi Rebellion caused another huge impact on the Liu family. During the war, Liu Zhen sent his mother to Wangwu Mountain for refuge, and he fled to Wu with his family.

In the south, it was once difficult to make ends meet, and sometimes there was no income. Liu Zongyuan's mother often starved herself in order to support her children. Liu Zongyuan's family background has always kept him yearning for his ancestors' "morality" and "meritorious deeds".

He often spoke in a proud tone about the status and glory of his ancestors, showing a strong desire to revive the "Sect" and his pursuit of fame.

Liu Zongyuan (773 A.D. - November 28, 819 A.D.), the character is thick, Han nationality, a native of Hedong (now Yongji, Yuncheng, Shanxi), one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, and a writer, philosopher, essayist and thinker in the Tang Dynasty is known as "Liu Hedong", "Mr. Hedong", because of the official end of Liuzhou Thorn History, also known as "Liu Liuzhou". Liu Zongyuan and Han Yu are called "Han Liu", Liu Yuxi is called "Liu Liu", and Wang Wei, Meng Haoran, and Wei Yingwu are called "Wang Meng Weiliu".

Liu Zongyuan left more than 600 poems and literary works in his lifetime, and his literary achievements are greater than poems. There are nearly 100 essays, with strong prose, sharp pen, and satire. The travelogue writes about the scenery, and there are many sustenances, including "Mr. Hedong Collection", and representative works include "Creek House", "Jiang Xue", and "Fisherman".

The Liu family residence built by Liu Zongyuan's widow is now located in Wenxing Village, Qinshui County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province.

Is this one? I'm not sure, I shouldn't be wrong, (*hee-hee......

There is a small stream to the north of the irrigation area, which flows into Xiaoshui to the east. Some people say that in the past, there was a person surnamed Ran who lived here, so this stream was called Ran Creek. It is also said that the stream water can be used for dyeing, and it is named Dye Creek after its function.

I was relegated to Xiaoshui because of my foolishness and sin. I loved the stream, and after walking two or three miles along it, I found a place with a great view, and I made my home here. In ancient times, there was Yugong Valley, and now I have placed my home next to this stream, but no one can decide its name, and the local residents are still arguing, and it seems that it has to be renamed Yuxi, so it is named Yuxi.

I bought a small hill on Foolish Creek and called it Foolish Hill. Walking sixty steps northeast from Yuqiu, I found a spring of water, and bought it as a savings, calling it Yuquan. There are six springs in the Foolish Spring, all of which are flat at the bottom of the mountain, and the spring water gushes upward.

After the spring water merges, it flows southward in a zigzag way, and the place it passes through is called Yugou. So they moved earth and stones, blocked the narrow spring channel, and built a foolish pond. To the east of the pond is the hall of the fool, and to the south is the pavilion of the pond.

Pond ** is the island of fools. Beautiful trees and strange rocks are jagged. These are magnificent views in the mountains and rivers, and they have been defiled with foolish words for my sake.

Water is loved by smart people. But now this stream has been insulted by foolishness, why is that? Because its waterways are low, it cannot be used for irrigation.

It was steep and rapid, with many shoals and stones, and the big ships could not enter; The depth is shallow and narrow, and the dragon disdains this, and cannot raise clouds and rain, which is not good for the world, just like me. That being the case, even if it is insulted, it is okay to call it a foolish word.

Ning Wuzi "looks very stupid when the country is in turmoil", and it is a smart person who deliberately pretends to be confused. Yanzi "never mentions opinions that are different from those of the teacher, as if he is very stupid", and he is also a wise person and deliberately behaves stupid. None of them are really stupid.

Now I'm doing things that are contrary to the truth of things when I'm politically clear, so there's no one as stupid as me anymore. Therefore, no one in the world can compete with me for this stream, and I have a patent to name it.

Although the stream is not good for the world, it can reflect all things, it is beautiful and clear, it can make a sound like a golden stone, it can make the foolish people smile, and they can't bear to leave it. Although I am not worldly, I can still comfort myself with a little article, washing all kinds of things, including all kinds of forms, and there is no taboo. I sang about the foolish stream with stupid words, and felt that there was nothing contrary to the truth in the dazedness, and the dim seemed to have the same fate, transcending the heavens and the earth, and merging into the mystical silence, and no one could understand me in the loneliness and silence.

So he wrote "Eight Foolish Poems" and wrote them on the stream rocks.
