Who wrote Zengguang Wenxian ?

Zengguang Xianwen is an ancient Chinese children's enlightenment bibliography. It is also known as "The Virtuous Texts of the Past" and "The Virtuous Texts of the Ancient and Modern Times". The title of the book was first seen in the opera "Peony Pavilion" in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, according to which it can be inferred that this book was written in the Wanli period at the latest.

Later, after the continuous addition of the literati of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was changed to the current appearance, called "Zengguang Xianwen in the Past", commonly known as "Zengguang Xianwen". The author has not seen any books, only knows that the Confucian Zhou Xitao in the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty had been revised, which is likely to be the crystallization of folk creation.

The content of "Zengguang Xianwen" is roughly as follows, one is to talk about people and interpersonal relationships, the second is to talk about fate, the third is to talk about how to behave in the world, and the fourth is to express views on reading. In the world described in the "Zengguang Xianwen", people are hypocritical, people are fickle for their own sake, they hate the poor and love the rich, and tend to be inflammatory, so that the world is full of traps and crises. There is a lot of emphasis on fate and retribution in the text, believing that everything in people is arranged by fate, and people should do good deeds in order to have good opportunities.

There is a negative side to this, but it is worthy of recognition that it advocates doing good deeds. There is a lot of space in the book on how to deal with people, and this part of the text is the core of the text. There are many descriptions of forbearance in the text, and it is believed that forbearance is a way to eliminate the scourge of troubles.

While advocating self-protection and prudent forbearance, it also emphasizes people's subjective initiative, believing that this is the principle of doing things.

Although the book is mainly based on Taoist thought, it does not exclude Confucian teachings. The article emphasizes the importance of reading and the value of filial piety. These views embody the orthodox spirit of Confucianism and are at odds with the Taoist ideas that pervade the book.

But it is precisely because of this complexity that people of different minds can see in it the aphorisms that they approve of, making it broadly representative.

The "Zengguang Xianwen" is a selection of rhyming proverbs and good sentences from literature, and its content is very extensive, from etiquette and morality. From the canonical system to allusions to scenery and allusions, astronomy and geography, almost everything is allusive, and the sentences are smooth and easy to understand. But the center is to talk about the philosophy of life and the way of life.

Some of these proverbs and sayings reflect the fine tradition of industriousness, simplicity, hardship and hard work formed by the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and have become valuable spiritual wealth, such as "the plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the yin", "a meal and a porridge, when thinking about it is not easy to come by, half a thread and half a thread, and the constant thought of material resources is difficult"; Many contents about society and life have been tempered by the vicissitudes of the world and become aphorisms that warn the world, such as "good medicine is good for disease, and good words are good for deeds", "good is rewarded for good, evil is rewarded for evil", "happiness is extreme, happiness is sorrowful", etc.;Some proverbs and sayings summarize the experience of people in the struggle against nature for thousands of years, and become concise and vivid philosophical scientific knowledge, such as "know the nature of fish near the water, know the sound of birds near the mountain", "the building near the water gets the moon first, and the flowers and trees meet spring early".
