Chapter 120 Chapter 120: Zongwu's family background (1)

appendix Sogo's family background Zhang Mosheng Probably during the Southern Song Dynasty, a family surnamed Li rose up in Changle County, Jiaying Prefecture, Guangdong Province. The head of the family, Li Zimin, and his son Li Shangda, started a family and established a business. Slowly, the family prospered and their descendants multiplied, and they became a famous clan.Later, it was passed down from generation to generation, and it was passed down to the tenth world. A man named Ji Runtang came to Sichuan with his family in the third year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty. .Since the massacre of Zhang Xianzhong at the end of Ming Dynasty, Sichuan has become vast and sparsely populated, and the people in the Huguang area have all moved here one after another. The reason for this family surnamed Li's relocation is no different.Since Li Runtang entered Sichuan, the family fortune has gradually prospered, and the descendants have multiplied.

Passed down to the eighth generation, there was a comet in the ideological world, poor in reading and good at innovating, that was Li Zongwu, who was founded with "thick face and black heart". Since the Republic of China, this person has become a Celebrities in Sichuan. I had to read many of Li's works because I was avoiding bandits and entered Sichuan. I got to know each other through correspondence and became good friends. I began to know all about his life, events, speeches and thoughts. He is not as vain and grotesque as rumored outside , a person who intends to shock the world, he is neither thick-faced nor dark-hearted; but he advocates "thick black studies" and calls himself "thick black leader". Why did you come here?People in the world don't have to laugh at him and scold him, they should first reflect deeply.Sakyamuni should not go to hell, and Jesus should not be crucified, but Sakyamuni said: "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" Jesus said: "Anyone who does not carry the cross is not worthy of being our disciple. "What is the reason for this?We should also reflect on it.Zhishou Li's talks about education, politics, and academic thoughts are all serious arguments; however, his thoughts are a bit strange, and they are often unspoken by predecessors, and unspoken by others, so ordinary traditional scholars , Just call him an outsider.Now that Mrs. Li is an ancient person, he is no longer afraid of his high-sounding words, but his life's deeds are still unknown to the world, and many of his words and thoughts during his lifetime have been ignored.In order to commemorate this deceased friend, I spared no effort to write this biography of the master of Houhei, so that the world can use it to judge his merits and crimes.

Li Zongwu was born on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month in the fifth year of Guangxu. "Zongwu" Eryu is not his original name, which he changed repeatedly later.His name has been changed several times. When he was young, his temper was very arrogant and unreasonable. People who saw him called him "King of Man"; The word "Shi" in the previous generation was named Shiquan.The fortune teller said that he had less "gold" in his hit, so he added Jin Pang to become Shiquan. Later, the private school teacher said that he had less "wood" in his hit, and he didn't have a lot of gold. He also thought his father gave him a bad name. So he changed his name to Shijie with the word Zongru, which means he believed in Confucius.At the age of twenty-five, his thinking changed drastically, and he was quite dissatisfied with Confucianism. He thought that his patriarchal clan was better than Confucius, so he changed his name to Zongwu.He often said: "The word Zongwu is the banner of my independent thinking." From then on, Zongwu, Zixing, and Shijie's name were almost unknown.

Zongwu had seven brothers and two sisters. Among the brothers, he was the sixth, the third brother died early, and the other six houses were established. His father named it "Liuqiantang".Except for him, all his brothers are farmers, but his seventh brother later started a business house, which has a slightly commercial nature.Zongwu believed in heredity and prenatal education. He said that he was good at reading because he was born because his father was studying behind closed doors during the years when he was born.And he also quoted Su's father and son as evidence. He said: "The world says that Su Laoquan was 27 years old before he studied hard. Kao Laoquan was born in Yiyou, the second year of Xiangfu of Song Zhenzong, and he was 27 years old in Yihai, the second year of Renzong Mingdao. Su Dongpo was born on December 19, Bingzi year, and Su Ziyou was born on February 20, Jimao year. The two brothers were born when Lao Quan worked hard to study. Historically, they were only 27 years old. Laoquan was the only one who worked hard to study, and he gave birth to two great writers; my father was the only one who worked hard to study at the age of forty, and it is not a miracle that he gave birth to a leader. Dongpo is talented and bold, while Ziyou is very quiet , like Huang Lao’s learning, commented on Laozi’s interpretation, and promoted ancient and modern masterpieces. About Laoquan studied hard, at the beginning he worked hard, and later he became more and more rational, and gradually became calm. Therefore, Dongpozi consists of two people with different endowments. I was born in the last years when my father was studying hard, so I have a quiet nature, I like Lao Tzu, and I am quite like Ziyou; unfortunately, I was born in a peasant family, because I can’t learn how to learn, so I am ashamed of Ziyou.” He said that his strange thoughts are also natural. Since his father, in fact, his family has been in a row for several generations, and their personalities are a bit special.Let's go back to his great-grandfather first, let's take a look at his lineage.
