271 years ago today, on December 11, 1754 (October 28, 1754 lunar calendar), Wu Jingzi, the author of "The Foreign History of Confucianism and Lin" in the Qing Dynasty, died. On December 11, 1754, Wu Jingzi, the author of "The Foreign History of Confucianism and Lin", died. Wu Jingzi (1701-1754), character Minxuan, name Limin (the existing Wu Jingzi handwritten "Lanting Xu" is stamped with the seal: "Quanjiao Wu Jingzi, name Limin Seal"), a novelist of the Qing Dynasty, and a native of Quanjiao in Anhui. Wu Jingzi was born in Emperor Shengzu of Qing in the 40th year of Kangxi, and died in the 19th year of Gaozong Qianlong, at the age of fifty-four (54 years of his life, 23 years in Quanjiao, 10 years in Ganyu, and 21 years in Nanjing). He was young and different, and was good at reciting. A little longer, make up for the disciples of the You are very good at "Selected Works", endowed with assistance and pen. Not good at governing life, heroic in nature, in a few years, the old products are squandered, and sometimes there is no food. In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, (1735 AD) Governor Zhao Guozhao responded to the "erudite words" and did not go (participated in the third-level local examinations of the college, the governor and the governor, but did not go to the court examination due to illness). Moved to Jinling, where he was the leader of the literary circle. He also gathered two comrades and sages at the foot of Yuhua Mountain, and offered sacrifices to 230 people below Taibo. Insufficient resources, he sold his house to become a home, and his family was poor because of it. In his later years, he named himself Wenmu Old Man, and he lived in Yangzhou, and you fell to drink. Later died in the guest. The most evil career in Jingzi's life, the fifty-five chapters of "Confucian Foreign History", (one for fifty-six times, and another for sixty times, none of which were original) are dedicated to the truth of the person who suffered from this, humorous and humorous, and enjoyable to read. There are seven volumes of "Shi Shuo", five volumes of "Wenmu Mountain Fangji", seven volumes of poems, and "A Brief History of Chinese Novels" and passed down to the world. Because his family had a "Wenmu Mountain House", he called himself "Wenmu Old Man" in his later years, and because he moved from his hometown Quanjiao in Anhui to the banks of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, Jiangsu, he was also called "Qinhuai Yuke". He was born in an official family, received a good education as a child, showed a special talent for literary creation, and by the time he reached adulthood, he had the opportunity to gain a lot of knowledge, including the inside of the official world, because his father went to various places as an official. When Wu Jingzi was 22 years old, his father passed away, and the family began to fight fiercely for property and power. After this change, Wu Jingzi had no intention of becoming an official, and he was deeply disgusted by hypocritical interpersonal relationships. He had no intention of pursuing fame. The governor of Anhui recommended that he should study Hong Ci, but he pretended to be sick. He was not good at running a family, and he was able to give money when he was poor. When he died at the age of 53 in 1754, he lived a poor life. During Wu Jingzi's life, life and thought have changed greatly. In life, he fell from wealth to poverty; in thought, he expressed diametrically opposite views on fame and wealth. He grew up in a family of multiple generations, and spent most of his life in Nanjing and Yangzhou. He was accustomed to the bureaucratic gentry, the children of plasterism, the people in the industry, the famous scholars, and the Qingke. In the lives of these "upper class people", he indignantly saw the favoritism of the bureaucrats, the arbitrary local songs of the gentry, the mediocrity of the children of plasterism, the greed of the people in the industry, the arty of the famous scholars, and the deception of the Qingke. Coupled with his personal life from rich to poor, the overturned faces of those "upper class people" are easy to detect. In his "Foreign History of Confucianism and Lin", he thoroughly exposed the decay of the spiritual life of these types of intellectuals, which is really "like the nine tripods cast by Dayu, which are miraculous and unparalleled" (Lvyun's "Boshan Zhi" Volume 4). More because of the vivid artistic image, his works have particularly attractive and touching power. He experienced three generations of Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Yongzheng and Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty in his life. At that time, the embryonic capitalist relations of production appeared, and the society showed a certain degree of prosperity, but this was just a reflection of the Chinese feudal society that was about to collapse. The superficial prosperity could not hide the fact that Xiamen was about to fall. During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng and Emperor Qianlong, while gradually suppressing armed uprisings, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty also adopted Daxing Literary Prison, setting up erudite macro-ci subjects as bait; taking the eight-strand examination and opening the imperial examination to cage scholars, advocating Neo-Confucianism to rule ideas and other methods to deal with intellectuals. Among them, the imperial examination system was the most harmful and influential, causing many intellectuals to fall into the trap of pursuing profit and become ignorant, despicable and shameless philistines. Wu Jingzi saw through this dark politics and rotten social atmosphere, so he opposed the eight-strand essay, opposed the imperial examination system, refused to participate in the examination of erudite macro-ci subjects, and hated the scholars who were obsessed with making art and were keen on fame and fortune. He reflected these views in his "Foreign History of Confucianism". With a satirical approach, he deeply exposed and forcefully criticized these ugly things, showing his democratic ideological color. Wu Jingzi wrote a large number of poems, prose and historical research works throughout his life, including twelve volumes of "Wenmu Mountain House Poetry Collection", which now exists in four volumes. However, it is his long satirical novel "The Foreign History of Confucianism" that established his outstanding position in the history of Chinese literature. The article "Fan Jinzhongju" in this book was also selected as the first volume of the 9th grade Chinese book. The novel took him about 20 years to complete until the age of 49. The "Wu Jingzi Memorial Hall" was established in his hometown; the "Former Residence of Wu Jingzi" was also established in Taoyedu on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing.
