Research On Liu Zhen And Tian Lanfang

Liu Zhen and Tian Lanfang were two scholarly officials in the Guide area in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.They had not entered an official career in their entire lives.They were renowned for their profound academic attainments and were respected by the people of the countryside.They respectively had "Xu Zhi Tang Poetry Collection" and "Yi De Xuan Poetry Collection" that were handed down to the world.When she was young,Liu Zhen and Tian Lanfang had a similar family background,both from a farming and reading family,with excellent family circumstances.After the Great Revolution of the Ming and Qing Dynasties,due to the tremendous changes in their growth environment,the two people walked out of different life paths.After the Renwu Rebellion,the Liu Zhen family was destroyed,and only Liu Zhen and her biological mother survived and resided in the Hou Bing family.He made progress in mechanics and learned poetry from Song Luo and Chen Weisong,achieving some success in his studies.Due to the inheritance of the clan and the support of the Hou clan,he did not have financial constraints and constraints.During his lifetime,he traveled around the world,widely gathering celebrities,and once served as a guest of honor.He tried to increase his knowledge and knowledge through making friends,thereby achieving the desire to revive the family.After experiencing changes in her family,Tian Lanfang was penniless,but she did not degenerate as a result.She aspired to study,visited famous teachers,and eventually achieved success.However,influenced by economic conditions and the family style of judo governance,she was extremely limited in her choice of farming and reading methods and survival paths.She lived in seclusion in the countryside all her life,teaching and educating people through her own knowledge reserves,and making a living.Liu Zhen likes to travel far away,while Tian Lanfang prefers to hide in the countryside.It seems that two people who should not meet each other have become close friends due to their common interests and mutual appreciation of knowledge.Together with Zheng Lian,a scholar from Shangqiu,they are known as "Guide San Maocai".Although Liu Zhen and Tian Lanfang are very similar,there are also some differences in their viewpoints on learning.Tian Lanfang emphasizes following nature and true temperament in learning,while Liu Zhen advocates following the Dharma and stressing the rules.Liu Zhen lived in Shangqiu since childhood and became familiar with the people of the Hou Fangyu and Song Luo families.Tian Lanfang was hired as a private teacher by the Hou family all year round,so the two people have a similar circle of communication,but in the process of communication,the influence of the Guide literati on the two people varied in depth.Most scholars in Xueyuan are good at poetry and articles,so Liu Zhen,who was influenced by the literary style of Xueyuan Society since childhood,is highly accomplished in poetry,while Tian Lanfang mainly learns from Xu Erhuang,who is good at classics,and is mainly engaged in the teaching of Four Books and Five Classics,so she has a high achievement in classics.In terms of ideological concepts,unlike the indulgence of personality and the lack of academic style of scholarly officials in the late Ming Dynasty,Liu Zhen and Tian Lanfang paid more attention to the pursuit of moral cultivation,custom education,and academic practicality,which was actually the result of the impact of the social trend of thought in the early Qing Dynasty.The different life trajectories of Liu Zhen and Tian Lanfang reflect the important role played by economic factors and family traditions in the growth of scholars and the choice of life paths.The differences in academic attainment and ideological concepts between Liu Zhen and Tian Lanfang also reflect the important impact of interpersonal communication on the development of scholars’ careers.At the same time,compared to the literati in the late Ming Dynasty,Liu Zhen and Tian Lanfang emphasized personal cultivation and the cultivation of grassroots people,emphasizing the promotion of filial piety and women’s ethics.This indicates that scholars began to pay attention to the reflection and rescue of the disintegration of grassroots customs and education in the late Ming Dynasty,which is consistent with the trend of the early Qing Dynasty’s enthusiastic promotion and gradual strengthening of ideological control over grassroots society.
