From the Baiyue sages to the Nanyuan scholars, the two-thousand-year connection between ""Nanyuan character"" and the history of Lingnan culture

Five Thousand Years in the Village: Fantastic historical and cultural topics from all over the world, covering five thousand years. In the ancient history of our country, "Guangdong and Vietnam are the same", both belong to the realm of Yangzhou in Yu Gong, so "The Sages of Baiyue"

"Zhi" (classified as part of the "Lingnan Posthumous Notes") records the deeds of the sages from Kuaiji Yue in the north to "Guangdong" in the south of Lingnan, because "Yue Yue" originally has the same meaning. "Hundreds"

The preface to "The Chronicles of the Ancient Sages of Yue" says: ""In the geographical records of the two Han Dynasties, the territories of Wu and Yue were all in Kuaiji County, respectively Danyang and Yuzhang. Therefore, in the Yue of Kuaiji, the Miao descendants of Xia and Yu were also descended." Since the Yue King Gou Jian unified Yue, his

The descendants of later generations spread all over Fujian, Nanyue, Luoyue and other places. In "Yu Gong", they are collectively referred to as "Yangyue", including today's Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Vietnam, Hunan, Jiangxi and Jiangsu. " "

Many of the ancestors in "The Ancient Sages of Baiyue" have made great contributions to the unification of the country. The ancestors in "The Chronicles of the Ancient Sages of Baiyue" date from the time of King Goujian of Yue. They respectively record " " Ou Yezi, Dafu Wenzhong, Ji Ni, Fan Li " " and others

In the South Vietnam section, Gao Gu (the founder of Wuyang City in Guangzhou) and Shi Lu (the sage of Qin who unified South Vietnam) were also recorded. Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen were also excerpted from "Historical Records", "Han Shu" and other classics.

("The heroes of "East Vietnam returned to the Han") and other famous officials of the Han Dynasty. From the above list, we can see that "The Chronicles of the Baiyue Sages" pays special attention to the deeds of the sages related to the great cause of the unification of the country and the praise of them.

The meaning is naturally beyond words. Ou Daren, the author of "The Chronicles of Baiyue Sages", and the Nanyuan Poetry Society in Guangzhou. Ou Daren was a native of Shunde, Guangdong (1516-1595). During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, he won the first place in the imperial examination and was appointed by Emperor Longqing to participate in "The Poetry Society".

Emperor Wanli was especially fond of Ou Daren. During the Wanli period, Ou Daren held official positions in important institutions such as the Imperial College, Dali Temple, and the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, and gained an official reputation that was highly praised by later generations.

The Nanyuan Poetry Society continued to praise the patriotic integrity of the sages of the past dynasties through poems. However, Ou Da became an official only after he was 47 years old (1563, the 42nd year of Jiajing). Before that, he had failed the provincial examination eight times, so

He formed a poetry club with friends such as Liang Youyu, Li Minbiao, and Wu Dan in Nanyuan, Guangzhou, and wrote poems all day long. He was one of the "Five Sons of Nanyuan". During the association, Ou Daren visited famous places in Guangdong, such as Guangzhou Zhenhai Tower,

He left his footprints in Xinhui Sanzhong Temple, Baisha Temple, Zhaoqing Mei'an, Qixingyan and other places, and wrote famous works such as "Zhenhai Tower" and "Yamen Diaogu" to express his ideals for his family and country after his official career.

, he still did not forget the old good, and collected 120 Baiyue sages from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty and compiled it into "The Chronicles of the Baiyue Sages", which left a high level of "extensive knowledge in classics and history, and ancient literary works, poetry and poetry" in history.

Evaluation. Ou Daren had a strong purpose when collecting these Baiyue sages. His main purpose was to praise those ancestors who had the character of their family and country, and to promote the patriotism and righteousness of scholars through their deeds and his own poems.

For example, the biography of "Old Book of Tang" records General Feng An, who made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's unification of Lingnan. Ou Daren added the deeds of Feng An's grandfather Feng Rong in "The Chronicles of the Ancient Sages of Baiyue": "" Xinhui

He was the governor of Luozhou in his lifetime, and he was able to control the customs with etiquette, justice and prestige." (Relevant historical records can only be found in the records of Mrs.

Rebellion), completes the whole process of the Sui Dynasty's unification of Lingnan, and at the same time emphasizes the key role played by the literati's "ethical prestige" in the righteousness of the family and the country.

Ou Daren has personally traveled to various places to complete the records of relevant sages' deeds for the annals of history. Ou Daren's obsession is particularly evident in the poetry collection of the "Nanyuan Poetry Society" represented by him, but most of the poetry collections have been lost.

Today, we can see more of Ou Daren's historical view of the past and praise the present from the "Chronicles of the Ancient Sages of Baiyue", and the sages of Baiyue in the past generations are also the examples for the "Five Sons of the Later Nanyuan" to follow. ""Nanyuan"

The "Ten Sons of Nanyuan" are actually divided into the "Five Sons of the Front and Back", and the "Ten Sons of Nanyuan" originated from the "Five Sons of Nanyuan" during the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty.

"Fengxuan" and "Later Five Sons" were re-established by Ou Daren and others. ""Nanyuan" is located in the Wenming Road area of ??Guangzhou today. The Nanyuan Poetry Society, established in Nanyuan Kangfengxuan, swept away the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties.

The delicate style of poetry has established a heroic and heroic cultural origin in Lingnan culture. "The "First Five" refers to Sun Fan, Wang Zuo, Huang Zhe, Li De and Zhao Jie. In addition to being poets, they are also poets.

The father-in-law officials who were loved by the people were respected by the world for their character and poetry. Therefore, the people of later generations spontaneously built the "Five Masters Shrine" on the former site of "Kangfengxuan" to commemorate them. "Zhenhai Tower"

The heroic literary style reflected in

Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, and Zhang Shijie were the "Three Loyalty". It was in this atmosphere of "National Loyalty" that Ou Daren reorganized the poetry club and continued the patriotic spirit of the "First Five Sons" with poetry. Therefore, these five sons

In the history of Lingnan culture, they were collectively known as the "Ten Sons of Nanyuan". In the early Ming and Qing Dynasties, the "Ten Sons of Nanyuan" erected the "Nanyuan Style" with great ferocity, which brought great resistance to the Qing army when they entered Guangdong.

During the bloody rule of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Lingnan literati joined the army and joined the struggle against the Qing Dynasty.
