When Zhu was born, his father was dismissed for offending and was detained to teach in the library. Zhu Song saw that the Song family was crossing the south, and the state affairs were not good. He wants his son to have a bright world when he grows up, so he named his son "Xi", which means light and dawn.
"This evening is infinite, when will my hometown return?" Zhu strictly abides by his father's instructions. Although he was born in Fujian, he is obsessed with Huizhou's hometown feelings. There is Ziyang Mountain in the south of Huizhou, and Zhu Zeng juxtaposed the hall where he lived with Ziyang Academy. He visited his hometown in Wuyuan three times, made many friends and received many disciples, so Huizhou scholars came to Fujian for advice in an endless stream.
In his preface, postscript and works, he often signed "New Zhu An Xi" to convey the meaning of Sangzi.
Ziyang town
Located in Wuyuan county, it is a thousand-year-old town, named after Zhu's nickname. There are nearly 20 scenic spots in the town, such as Wuyuan Museum, Wuyuan Folk Museum, Old City Gate (wall) and Hongjing, most of which are classical scenery.
Hongjing is located on the west side of the original "Wengong Queli" in Nanmen Street, Ziyang Town. The well was dug in the Tang Dynasty, with a hexagonal well ring, an inner wall diameter of 1 m and a well depth of more than 5 meters. "Wuyuan County Records" records that when Zhu's father Zhu Songsheng was born, the gas in the well was like a rainbow, and the days were endless. When Zhu was born, the purple gas in the well penetrated the sky. There is a huge "Hongjing" monument engraved with the inscription of this well.
In the spring of the 20th year of Shaoxing in Song Dynasty (1 150), Zhu, aged 2 1, returned to Wuyuan for the first time to worship his ancestors. He once crossed the gate of the north of the city and saw a quiet and calm hillside, where a stream of clear water flowed slowly. Zhu said, I have been here in my dream before. His students told him that this was Don. Zhu blurted out, "When half an acre of square pond is opened, the sky is high and the clouds are light. I asked why the spring water is so clear because there is running water at the source. "
Wengongshan Zhuzi Cultural Park
Wengong Mountain, formerly known as "Nine Old Furong Mountain", is located in Xiaolin Township, south of the county seat, 26 kilometers away from Ziyang Town, the county seat. Since Zhu was named "Wengong Mountain", later generations renamed this mountain Wengong Mountain.
In the deep mountains, the tomb of Cheng, the wife of Zhu, the fourth ancestor of Zhu, is still well preserved, and the words on the tombstone are inscribed by Zhu. In the third year of the Southern Song Dynasty, 47-year-old Zhu led the people to climb the mountain and sweep the grave, and personally planted 24 Chinese fir saplings symbolizing 24 filial piety, arranged in eight diagrams. Only in this way can we express our great filial piety to our ancestors. After more than 800 years of vicissitudes, there are still 16 trees, with the highest height of 38.7 meters and the thickest DBH of 3.43 meters, which are known as "Cedar Kings in the South of the Yangtze River". How about Zhu Zufen? Several places, but only these towering trees here are living cultural relics left by Zhu. ?
There are also historic sites such as the Millennium Post Road in the scenic area, and later generations have newly built Zhu Memorial Hall, Zhu Poetry Cultural Monument Gallery, Ziyang Academy, Tea Pavilion, Cold Spring Pavilion, and Half-acre Square Pond, which are in harmony with the natural scenery such as/kloc-0.0 million mu of natural broad-leaved forest and Wengong Lake.
Xin 'an Neo-Confucianism
Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi and Zhu, the founders of Xin 'an Neo-Confucianism, are all Huizhou people on the Xin 'an River. Because Huizhou was originally named Xin 'an County, this school was named after Xin 'an.
Zhu San went back to Huizhou for several months each time, so Huizhou learned a lot from the literati. Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism became the orthodox academic thought in Huizhou, and Huizhou scholars believed in Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism even more.
Huizhou merchants admired Zhu Haoru and did not hesitate to donate money to run the academy. Under the joint action of Huizhou merchants and clan forces, the influence of Zhu Neo-Confucianism on Huizhou surpassed that of other cities. Huizhou Academy "There are dozens there, and Ziyang is the largest."
In order to maintain and strengthen clan rule, the major clans in Huizhou moved Zhu's family law into Family Rules and Family Law. Therefore, the feudal patriarchal clan system in Huizhou lasted longer than that in other regions, and was gradually abolished in Xuan Tong and the Republic of China.
Huizhou merchants and Neo-Confucianism, the former is the economic foundation and the latter is the guiding ideology. They promote and interact with each other, thus promoting the high development of Huizhou culture, resulting in the cultural categories such as Xin 'an Painting School, Huizhou Seal Carving, Huizhou Seal Carving, Xin 'an Medicine, and Huizhou Opera.
Wuyuan is Zhu's hometown and a tea village, and the tea ceremony has its own characteristics.
Zhu Yisheng was an official for 50 years, and experienced four dynasties: filial piety, Guangzong and Ningzong. "If you are an official outside, you will only take nine subjects, and the dynasty will only be established for forty days." In his official career, he served the officials and the people, not only advised farmers to help the mulberry, but also cared about the sufferings of the people, and often "cooked beans and made soup". When he returned to Wuyuan to seek roots and worship his ancestors, he personally edited and wrote the Zhu family tree of Wuyuan tea garden.
A groundbreaking debate
Goose Lake Conference is a famous debate in history, which originated between Zhu and Lu Jiuyuan. It was named after the meeting of Ehu Academy in Yanshan County, Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi Province.
In the second year of the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 175), Zhu Heyuan was invited to meet at the Ehu Temple on a date, but there were different theories and arguments between the two factions. At that time, Zhu, Lu Jiuyuan and Lu Jiuling were invited to the appointment.
