Deep autumn Heyetang
I privately thought that China's modern history, since the rise of Hunan, the Hunan people have been in a pivotal position. The most famous figures, it should be considered in Hunan Xiangxiang Heyetang people, the late Qing ZTE with the first light-Chen Tseng Kuo-fan.
Fall trip to Hunan, spent a few days in the provincial capital Changsha. Public service and young, my colleagues have come to pay their last respects Shaoshan, Mao's former residence. I suddenly moved thinking, why not take this opportunity to look for Baiwushinian to Hunan, the originator of material culled from Shuo Tseng Kuo-fan of the old home.
Tseng Kuo-fan old home, Xiangxiang Heyetang Yi Yong Hou section, which are now the lotus leaves town Fouteau Hunan Shuangfeng village.
The highway from Changsha to Shuangfeng cement road is still good, but turn into the town to the lotus leaf is completely different path of the. Bumps and hollows, Chen Sha sky, more than 20 kilometers of the road, and then walk for nearly two hours. Until the night Tetraena, lights flashing season, was finally reached that desolate town of lotus leaves town.
Night stay in a small inn, in the face after the rice cut out all the lonely wilderness, accompanied by the audible chirp Qiuchong, dreamless sleep of a good sense. The following morning, early and got up and casually eat cake soy milk, then rushed to the village Fouteau.
When I finally got to teach the first black Hou Yi Yong stood in front of the main gate when they find that they get a little catch up soon. Tseng Kuo-fan house personnel management not to go to work, only groups of the local primary school students wear red scarf, a constant stream of sand across the path in front of Tseng Kuo-fan house go to school.
The first whose real name is Fu Hou Hou Yi Yong-tang, two brothers Zeng Guoquan by Tseng Kuo-fan, who presided over a country lake. Seven-year project began in the Qing Xianfeng (1857), Tseng Kuo-fan 47-year-old that year, Tseng founded by Hunan with the Taiping army is in a white-hot state of war. Tseng Kuo-fan Lin Shu-public because his father had died, Jiliuyongtui, petitioned the emperor Xianfeng indulgence, came back to the small worries mourning. Tseng individuals in accordance with the idea that he would like to fade out bureaucratic troubles fade battlefield killing, hid in collection building, in order to complete a learned scholar who wrote books of the ultimate ideal.
Times make the hero, before the Taiping rebellion, Tseng Kuo-fan had never imagined she would become a prominent commander of Hunan. It can be said without the Taiping rebellion, the Qing dynasty, Tseng Kuo-fan is just an ordinary bureaucrat, no chance of becoming the first with the light ZTE Robinson.
The two politicians in the modern history of China's most famous Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek, to Tseng Kuo-fan are highly respected. Mao Zedong said, "I was neighbor, single serving Tsengwen is." Tseng right of Mao Zedong as an outstanding military strategist, the impact the most is that their "love for the people that the first prerequisite for the Zhi-bing," the Army Building. Chiang also said, "Tseng had been sufficient for the teacher I carry on." Chiang Kai-shek that had been left has been able to beat hong YANG is the Taiping capital in Nanjing, Hong, Yang Xiuqing very corrupt days, while Tseng Kuo-fan, Tso Chi Shen cautious, non-day excuses, and ultimately has left the moral learning and the spirit of faith is better than his opponent.
Salt in the same period, due to illustrious military exploits, Tseng Kuo-fan Jiang has served two Governor, Zhili Governor, conferred "Dian Ying-wu scholar," Chao plus "Prince Taibao" closure "first-class Yi Yong Hou," the ministers can be described as bit extreme, incomparable glory. Yi Yong Fu Hou Hou first church is built in strict accordance with ancient rites of the Marquis House.
Church buildings from Fuhou shape of view, the good old Xiang Xiang Feng Shui Heyetang good land connections have all been accounted for Hou Fu light of this. The whole House sitting West, east, perched between ancient Senran of the Turtle Mountains, the east is a Hirano, and distant Hengyuezhufeng distant relative.
Yi Yong Hou is in front of the first floor is a half-moon Taiwan, Taiwan Ping outside is a big half-moon LT. This Hawthorn from the "Book of Rites kingship," "universities in the suburbs, Tin Master said hall with a circlet, princes Yue Pan Palace" in the Pan Palace was intended. Pan Palace, the Palace of the Zhou Dynasty princes school. In the late autumn morning, I arrived here, that Hawthorn had lost its green look past a charm, only varies widely spaced branches with the leaves Lenz, implying that the strong here, there have been weather.
Tseng Kuo-fan is a very complex historical figure, put aside his political military thinking is not to say that I feel that his self-cultivation household's Road, prevalent in today's materialistic materialistic world the wind, especially to point out errors value. Tseng battlefield for the fight in the Qing Dynasty, rose to the rank of superb gold and silver Wealth, at your fingertips. However, Tseng thought, "at this troubled times, the poorer the better," although his high position, "the total production in order to earn less thin the best."
Tseng to martial arts is not to build the World Hsun, but as Neo-Confucianism Confucianist, but life for the Chief of the shackles, he is deeply ashamed of his life wills "academic achieve nothing, a no virtue Xu," cautioned heirs to achieve " Cautiousness is peace of mind, the main body King is strong, then the people Qiu Ren Yue, Xi-Qin workers is God. " Tseng Kuo-fan hope that future generations will no longer involved in military and political circles, but in order to scholarly research for the existence and prosperity. Tseng also endeavor to comply Zuxun future generations, no one enthusiastic career, academics, Daoshi out a lot.
In the autumn Hawthorn side sincerely a waiting time, Fu Hou Tong black lacquer doors finally opened to visitors from afar a gap. I walked through the desolate silence of a huge open courtyard, stepping on the wooden stairs creak ah ah books onto the house floor, South fast on the third floor seeking Que. Looking at the vast expanse of calm autumn wild, I suddenly understand that Tongzhi decade (1871), Tseng Kuo-fan to just after his sixtieth year-old passenger died in Nanjing, the Governor's office when the two rivers, the biggest regret is that heart failure in their lifetime return to Heyetang back to his carefully collected rich collection of books under heaven floor, looking through the books and expose a bright winter sun of the Pu.
Seven Qing Xianfeng (1857), Tseng Kuo-fan mourning the death of his father returned home when the first church built Fu Hou F, Si Yun museum collections. After Tseng Kuo-fan, Tseng Chi-tse, Zeng Jihong, etc. have been five generations of painstaking efforts at home were the construction of the north house south house the public mind that in mind Park, Fong Kee collection of books and other four buildings, the total number of books in more than 300,000 volumes, for our private collection of modern first floor.
After the completion of 100 F Tseng collection for many years, developed a strict management and book collection floor protection regulations. Collection House set up a full-time management books, although both the general educational level is not high Heyetang villagers, but it came to deeply impressed by Zengwenzhenggong of moral character. With a strong respect and admiration of the front of the rows of eyes look at an aircraft Zengwenzhenggong have read, and read a book or letter, and finally their own life energy, dedicated storage collection, not a little negligent of duty. Government control of books have been professional from the villagers named Wang, from generation to generation, the fourth host of books Wang Xizhen the elderly still alive.
Republican period, Tseng Kuo-fan of the former residence of Chiang Kai-shek protection very seriously. Fu Hou Church by the National Government announced the "Republic of China heritage conservation units." Anti-Japanese War military Hing, Chiang Kai-shek Xiangxiang twice to make electricity, "in situ protection of sages Zengwenzhenggong × ?ê ? garrison." In 1942, Tseng Kuo-fan great-granddaughter had Po-sun from Hong Kong to return to his home in Fu Hou Heyetang Church, the Tseng collection floor is also very well preserved, "the book spotless floor, books, gem full frame."
After liberation, Fu Hou Church used as a district resident township government agencies. Tseng voluminous collection of books, damaged damaged, dispersed in diaspora, part of Hunan Province has been saved to the library. Tseng Kuo-fan with the Hunan Mao Zedong and his talents, life Tseng deeply political and military thinking, has not the slightest right to be protected Tseng Kuo-fan's former residence. During the Cultural Revolution, Mao Zedong made a remark, "Tseng Kuo-fan is the most powerful figures in the landlord class," of which disclose information. Mao Zedong was the creator of the theory of class struggle, and in his later years would give full play its peak level. Tseng Wen-being, although private-sook's Xiang Xian, in reality the political front, they can only sacrifice.
Until 1988, Shuangfeng County Government was the county-level units to be protected as Fu Hou Church. In 1996, the Hunan Provincial Government will Fuhou Church as a provincial heritage conservation units.
However, recently I heard, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage has approved the collection of F, Tseng Kuo-fan house for the state key cultural relics protection units. History, often from a point of view, once again return to this point, it would be a small and interesting regular.
House of Tsang's collection stood empty on the third floor, far away I could see in front of half-moon Fu Hou Tong Pan Palace Kato. Hawthorn in late autumn, the withered lotus Lianpeng a bleak, but next year, early summer, but also there will be full of the lotus leaf pond dazzling Tada sway in the wind, but also there will be trippingly Red Dragonfly flying stopped in sharp Helei on. It makes me feel sorry is just that, Tseng collection floor as a national key cultural relics protection units, but were only a shell building, Tseng Kuo-fan's memorial diary letters, approved by the school off Fumiko set, collected in the old Song and Yuan Qian, Tseng Chi-tse mission to bring back foreign language map of Western nationals, I am afraid that after Hongfei transitory man, forever, leaving only mud Zhaohen of snow.
