History of the demise of the scholarly sentiment

Early in the "Jin Book Tao Qian biography", Tao Qian sighed: "I can not for five buckets of rice, fist thing countryside villain evil!" In the Song Dynasty, Han Qi commented on Fan Zhongyan: "Great loyalty and integrity, filling the universe, shining sun and moon. The former is not ashamed of the ancients, and the latter can be taught by the coming philosophers." The existence of scholarly sentiment is not limited to certain characters in a certain era, it is y rooted in the core values of the ancient literati, when they were poor, they were happy with poverty, they did not lose their integrity, they had the feelings of heaven and earth; when they were well informed, they had the heart to help the world and the people, they had the talent to govern the country, and they had the determination to dare to speak out and advise without fear of treachery and sycophancy.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the pursuit of cultivating one's moral character, aligning one's family, ruling the country, and calming the world had long been implicitly recognized as the basic personality values of the scholars of the past dynasties, and along with the change of regime and the evolution of the literati culture, the connotation of scholars' feelings also became more and more enriched, and showed a distinctive and heavy imprints of the times.

From the Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Dong Zhongshu's dismissal of the hundred schools of thought, the sole respect for Confucianism, the political changes have created a generation with a reserved and steady, generous and depressed personality spirit of the scholar; Wei and Jin dynasties of social unrest accompanied by the metaphysical tide of thought, resulting in the scholar's wantonly grotesque and unrestrained personality traits; the Tang Dynasty of the world's cultural and ideological fusion of political prosperity to create a romantic atmosphere of the scholar, The Tang Dynasty's world culture and political prosperity created a romantic, atmospheric, and upwardly spirited personality spirit among the scholars. For the Northern Song scholar, its humanistic feelings tend to be more diversified orientation, in addition to Confucianism created the Song scholar objective wisdom, rationality and calm, indifferent and introverted personality characteristics, the fierce national conflicts also further explored the strong sense of anxiety and social responsibility of the scholar.

Unlike the previous scholar's concern for individual life and national honor and disgrace, the Northern Song scholar's idea of worry shows a richer and more prominent historical connotations and marks of the times, especially with the Song-Liao and Song-Hsia wars as the main line of the multinational regime coexisting in the political pattern, to the Northern Song scholar's feelings of shaping the incomparable impact of the huge. Before and after more than a hundred years, the Northern Song Dynasty has always been in a state of confrontation with Liao, Jin, Xixia minority regimes, and the Song-Liao war is the main contradiction in the relationship between the Northern Song Dynasty, which not only agitated the literary scholar's sense of national anxiety waves, but also made the creation of patriotic poetry on the border is unprecedented, fully embodies the far-reaching impact of the national conflict and integration of the scholarly sentiment.

With the passing of Mr. Wang Zengqi, the scholarly sentiment has become history. Standing on the platform of the present, overlooking the multitude of people, it is only the world, all for the sake of profit; the world, all for the sake of profit. There is no more Shi Da Fu like the former teacher of ancient benevolence, there is no harmony and understanding of the Taoist law of nature. There is just a hypocritical mask on the body, the leadership class, public figures and even the national government, are covered with a layer of fog like a veil of uncertainty. Can not help but let a person lament "Nai recently hearts are not ancient, are still luxury", I do not know when years and months, can see a side of the long-disappointed Shi Da Fu feelings and literati pride ah!

"Only the great heroes can be color, is the real celebrities from the wind flow", lamenting the bones of the previous dynasty can only be engraved with the wall, transcribed in the book, the scholarly legacy of rhyme will end up like a light smoke dispersed ...... But I still hope to be able to in the present generation, in the hearts of the future people to leave their imprints, or even a shallow trace of a layer. Even if it is a shallow layer of traces, in the scribbling and poverty or success and fame, can also sing "living in the temple is worried about its people, in the far reaches of the rivers and lakes is worried about its king", everyone to do "not to be happy with the things, not to their own sadness", and ultimately heart "The world's worries first, after the world's happiness and joy" of the world, then the ancient, now still glittering bright stars, will be smiling nine springs.
