The History of the Song Dynasty: A Biography of Taoism
raises Zhou Zi's founding of the School of Science to a very high status. Zhou Dunyi IntroductionZhou Dunyi (1017.5.5～1073), the word Mao Shu, the name of Lianxi, Han nationality, the Song Yingdao Lou Tianbao (present-day Hunan Daoxian). He was a famous philosopher in the Northern Song Dynasty, and is recognized in the academic world as the founding father of the School of Reasoning. "In the two Han Dynasty, Confucianism was in great disarray. More than a thousand years, to the middle of the Song Dynasty, Zhou Dunyi out of pounding, is to get the sages do not pass on the science, made the "Taijitu said", "Tongshu", pushing the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, Ming in the sky and the nature of the people, like a finger in the eye." The History of Song Dynasty - Taoism Biography elevated Zhou Zi's founding of the School of Science to a very high status. His father, Zhou Fucheng (also known as Huai Cheng), was awarded the title of scholar in the eighth year of the Dazhongxiangfu period (1015 A.D.) because of his six or more special achievements, and he served as a governor of Guiling County in Hezhou (present-day He County in Guangxi), and was later awarded the title of doctor of remonstrance. In the first year of the Tianxi era of the Northern Song Dynasty (1017 AD), Zhou Dunyi, the son of Zhou Fucheng, who was then the magistrate of Guiling County, was born in the county office of Guiling County at that time. Zhou Dunyi, who had been a "believer in the past and a righteous man, honored by his reputation" since his childhood, studied in Guiling during his adolescence, and then took the Imperial Examination in Guiling and obtained a straight bachelor's degree. In the ninth year of Tian Sheng (1031 AD), when Zhou Dunyi was 14 years old, his father died of illness. Zhou Dunyi was the author of Zhou Zi Quanshu (The Complete Works of Zhou Zi). Zhou Dunyi once opened the Lianxi Academy under the Lotus Peak and was known as Mr. Lianxi. The Lianxi Academy was the pulpit where he lectured, and his doctrines had a great influence on the development of the science of reasoning in the future. Zhou Dunyi is the originator of the systematic discussion of the origin of the world as a philosophical problem.
Zhou Dunyi is the founding father of Chinese philosophy, and his ideas on philosophy have played a leading role in the history of Chinese philosophy. Qing Dynasty scholar Huang Zongxi said in his "Song Confucianism": "After Confucius, Han Confucianism is only the study of scripture, sex Tao microblogging is out of the way for a long time. The rise of Yuan Gong, the two Cheng heir to the ...... If the elaboration of the subtleties of the heart of righteousness, the end of the number of Yuan Gong's broken darkness also". He inherited "Yi Chuan" and part of the Taoist and Taoist thought, put forward a simple but systematic theory of the composition of the universe, said "no pole and Tai Chi", "Tai Chi" a movement and a static, resulting in yin and yang all things. "Everything is born and changes infinitely, but human beings are also the most spiritual (Taiji Tu Shuo)." The sages also imitated the "Taiji" to establish the "Human Pole". "The "human pole" is "sincerity", and "sincerity" is the "purest and best". Sincerity is "the essence of the five constants, the source of all actions, and the highest state of morality". It is the highest state of morality." This state can only be attained through the mastery of tranquility and the absence of desire. In the next seven hundred years of academics had a wide impact, his proposed philosophical categories, such as wuji, taiji, yin and yang, the five elements, movement and static, life, good and evil, etc., became the subject of later generations of science and research.
Zhou Dunyi was not respected during his lifetime, and his academic status was not high. People only know that he "political excellence", the eunuch industry "over the people", especially the "mountains and forests of the will", the chest is free, there is the immortal style of the Taoist bone. But no one knows his philosophy of thought, only the Nan'an pass judge Cheng Taizhong know his deep attainments in science, and will be two sons - Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi sent to his door, after the two Cheng are famous scientists. Scholars of the Southern Song Dynasty, Hu Hong honored Dunyi's theories, and Zhu Xi, the great master of science, spoke highly of him and wrote for him, as well as annotated "Taijitu - Yi" and "Yi Tong". (bark) Zhang called him "Taoist patriarch", his reputation gradually rose, Jiujiang, Daozhou, Nan'an and other places have built Lianxi Shrine to commemorate him, Ning Zong gave Dunyi 諡号为 "元", so Dunyi is also known as "yuan Gong ", to the Li Zong time, from the Confucian temple court, to determine Zhou Dunyi's science of the status of the founding of the mountain. Zhou Dunyi simple temperament, self-described: "taro and vegetables can die years, silk and cloth is food and clothing, full of warmth and great wealth, peace and tranquility, priceless gold, my joy cover easy enough, clean name of the morning and evening averred". He grew up believing in ancient good righteousness, "to the name and integrity of the self-strengthening". Life does not adore money, love to talk about the name of reason, he believes that "the gentleman to Road full of noble, body safe for rich". Although he was an official in various places, but his salary is very small, even so, when he came to Jiujiang, he also gave his savings to his hometown clan.
Zhou Dunyi cool love elegant and dignified, quiet and clean lotus, was known as the Nankang Army, in the east side of the Office of the dug pool planting lotus, called Love Lotus Pond, the pool width of more than ten zhang, the middle of a stone platform, the platform on the hexagonal Pavilion, on both sides of the "the" word bridge. He often strolled around the pool in the summer, enjoying the fragrance, windy lotus, oral recitation of "Love Lotus Sayings". Since then, the Lotus Pond has been famous all over the world.
LifeNorthern Song Dynasty Sheng two years (1031 AD), Yi 8 years old (nine years old), his father died three years later, he and his half-brother Lu Dunwen with his mother to join his uncle Zheng Xiang in Hengyang, to 1037 Zheng Xiang transfer to the two Zhejiang Province, dredging garlic mountain canal, Zhou Dunyi with his mother with the relocation of Dantu County, Runzhou (now Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, Dantu District). Because of his intelligence, benevolence and filial piety, y loved by Zheng Xiang, but also love white lotus, Zheng Xiang in front of his house in the West Lake under the Phoenix Hill (now Hengyang City, the second middle school) to build pavilion planting lotus, Zhou Dunyi Nisshu between the scriptures and enlightenment. On the night of summer, the lotus blossomed, the aroma of which was overwhelmingly beautiful. Zheng's former residence was later changed to Lianxi Zhou Ancestral Hall (now at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanhua University).
Ming Wanli (1587 ~ 1598), Zhou Zi and Li Kuan, Han Yu, Li Shizhen, Zhu Xi, Zhang Xi, Zhang (bark), Huang Gan and the seven sages of the Shiku Academy, known as the "Shiku seven sages".
(According to "Hunan cultural celebrities Hengyang Dictionary", Gan Jianhua, edited by Er Ya culture)
He grew up loving to read, in his hometown of Daosu Yingdao place is quite famous, people say that he is "high aspirations, erudition, and the wind of the ancients".
As a result of extensive reading, Zhou Dunyi came into contact with many different kinds of ideas. From the pre-Qin era of the hundred schools of thought, all the way to the Han Dynasty only introduced to China's Indian Buddhism, he has been involved in, which for his later study of the ancient Chinese book "I Ching" to create the foundation of the idea of innate cosmology.
At the age of fifteen, he went up to the capital with his mother to join his uncle, Zheng Xiang, who was then a university scholar at the Longtu Pavilion in the court of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty. This uncle was very kind to Zhou Dunyi's mother and son.
At the age of twenty, Zhou Dunyi's uncle asked the emperor for a position as a supervisor.
During his tenure, Zhou was a dedicated servant who won the hearts of the people. In the course of his life, Zhou Dunyi began to study the Zhouyi, and later finally wrote his important work, Taijitu - The Sayings of Yi. It presents a system of cosmogenetic theory.
In the history of Chinese philosophical thought, Song and Ming philosophy occupies an extremely important position. Song and Ming philosophy is based on Confucianism, which is the way of Confucius and Mencius, and absorbed the essence of Taoism and Buddhism, which gradually became the dominant philosophical thought in the Chinese feudal society.
Zhou Dunyi was the founder of Northern Song philosophy. The status of Zhou Dunyi is described in the Songyuan Gongcai as follows: "After Confucius and Mencius, the Han Confucians only had the science of transmitting the scriptures. The extinction of the Tao of Sexuality has been a long time. The rise of Yuan Gong, the two Cheng heir, but also Hengquqing large Confucian generation, the Holy School of Dachan."
The Yuan Gong, known here as Zhou Dunyi, Yuan Gong was originally his 諡号. This passage clearly affirms the status of Zhou Dunyi as the founder of the Northern Song Dynasty science, he often and monks, Taoists travel mountains and water, playing the qin and reciting poetry.
His learning, temperament, also moved many people to follow him to learn. The most famous among them were, of course, the two brothers Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi later recalled that it was because of Zhou Dunyi's sermons that he was tired of the imperial examination and career path when he was young. He was determined to study and explore the Confucian way of how to be a holy king.
After Zhou Dunyi's death, his fame grew as Roy Cheng and Cheng Yi inherited and developed his philosophy. In the Southern Song Dynasty, many places began to establish shrines to Zhou Dunyi, and people even put him on a par with Confucius and Mencius, thinking that he was "between Confucius and Mencius". The emperors also honored him as a teacher.
Zhou Dunyi's life indeed also with his practical action, the achievement of a generation of great Confucian style, his character and ideas, for thousands of years has been admired by the people.

TombZhou Dunyi's tomb, also known as Lianxi Tomb, located in Jiujiang City, Mount Lushan District, Lianhua Town, Zhoujiawan of the Chestnut Ridge, the cemetery covers a total area of 4.3 million square meters. Ten years during the turmoil, Lianxi tomb ground building has been seriously damaged, but the underground tomb is still well-preserved. 1999, in Hong Kong under the Zhou clan association funding, completed the first phase of the Lianxi tomb restoration project, so that the precious historical relics can be preserved. Since last year, in jiangxi province, jiujiang city departments concerned, the hong kong zhou's clansmen association again out of more than 100 million yuan to repair the tomb. At present, the greening project is still under construction.
Zhou Dunyi's "The Sermon on the Mount" has been passed down through the ages, infecting the world. So, what is the basis for the life and ideological roots of "The Sermon on the Love of the Lotus"? And what special influence did the lotus flower have on Zhou Dunyi?
As early as Zhou Dunyi for his father during the mourning period, his uncle Zheng Xiang has been concerned about his sister and nephew orphans and widows livelihood difficulties. When Zhou Dunyi full full, Zheng immediately sent Zhou Dunyi half-brother Lu Dunwen sister and nephews Dunyi, Dunben (died young), niece Ji Chun together to take to the West Lake in Hengzhou Zheng House to raise (the site is located in today's South China University Hospital and Hengyang City, Youth Palace area), and personally nephews teaching school supervisor, for nephews to create a good learning environment, and fully to cultivate. From here, Zhou Dunyi began his journey of learning in Hengyang.
Zhou Dunyi was a gifted young man, and he was very much liked by his uncle. What's more, he was a diligent student, and he was especially fond of the West Lake scenery, with a fondness for the white lotus. So, Zheng Xiang in front of the Phoenix Manor House West Lake pool "construction Pavilion" (i.e. Love Lotus Pavilion) planting lotus. At that time, the West Lake, located in the county between the West Gate of Wanghu Gate to Anxi Gate outside the city, because of the West Lake Pond and named. "Hengzhou Xiguan has a huge dip - said West Lake", "thousands of hectares of the ocean, known as the great view. The lake is covered with wild lotus. Wild lotus white, commonly known as Qiyang white. Every summer and June flowers, generally bloom in the middle of the month. If three or five nights, just after the rain clouds clear, the white lotus by the sky and the earth rain and dew moisturizing, competing in full bloom, is the time, the moonlight as day, flowers and the moon, full of lake onyx, such as the snow-capped over the ground. White lotus green leaves dotted with a red lotus, like three spring peaches, white in red, red in white, red and white, red and white, full of lake embroidery. Hot winds, lotus nodding dance, wisps of fragrance with the wind, full of city fragrance, refreshing, soulful, so there is a "West Lake night release white lotus" allusion to the world, one of the eight scenic spots for the city of Hengyu in the past.
This unique natural environment for the teenage Zhou Dunyi provides a rich imagination and creative space. He often strolled along the West Lake pond, while enjoying the beauty of the study of learning, thinking about life. Not only that, the lotus flower fragrance, purity, soft, soft, untainted virtues, but also influenced Zhou Dunyi, cultivated Zhou Dunyi's ideological sentiment, for the praise of later generations of the birth of the "love of the lotus" to lay the foundation.
Zhou Dunyi's main living place in Hengyang is his uncle Zheng Xiang's former residence (today's South China University Hospital) and Zheng's residence in front of the West Lake Phoenix Pavilion under the Irene Pavilion, Zheng Gong for nephews lectured on the Lecture Yi platform (today's Hengyang City, the second high school).
Since the death of Zhou Dunyi, because he created the science of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, y favored by the national science, from the small West Gate to the large West Gate to the northwest to the present South China attached to a hospital and Lotus Lake Square this large area, the descendants of Zheng Xiang former residence converted into Lianxi Zhou clan ancestral temple, built Xihu Shuyuan, the County School, Chongsheng Shrine, Kai Sheng Shrine, the Hall of Dacheng, the Irene Pavilion, and other series of ancient architectural clusters (see the legacy of the map). S Ruo in, its area is the Confucius House and Confucius Temple combined.
At the end of the Song Dynasty Hengyang on Zhou Zi memorial buildings and a courtyard four ancestral halls, that is, the West Lake Academy, the north shore of the West Lake Lianxi Ancestral Hall, Phoenix Hill Lianxi Ancestral Hall, Xiaoxiang Xiangmen inside Lianxi Ancestral Hall, Lianxi Ancestral Hall of the Shiku, the above is not a family ancestral hall, is of the state official worship Zhou Zi and teaching in one place of remembrance (the annual allocation of the sacrificial silver forty taels).
After the holocaust, especially in 1944 Hengyang anti-Japanese defense war, the above Zhou Dunyi relics and monumental buildings *** ten, nine destroyed in the fire, only the high-tech district of Zheli Village, Ai Lien Hall due to be far from the urban area, the Japanese cavalry stationed here and spared, but the doorposts were horse gnawing, windows and doors are destroyed, destroyed, compartments destroyed, by the descendants of the difficult to maintain the fortunate remaining remnants of the room of the three rooms to date, which is the only survivor of the holocaust! Zhou Dunyi in Hengyang remains.
It is heartbreaking that Zhou Hong, who was hailed by Lu Xiu Fu, left prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, as "a man of great virtue, despicable reputation, light reputation, and especially not as good as others". Right Prime Minister Wen Tianxiang wrote the "epitaph" that Zhou Dunyi is "a hundred generations of absolute learning of the initiative", Zhou Hong is "the first of a thousand years of loyalty and righteousness" of a generation of patriotic loyalist tomb after seven hundred and twenty-five years, in November 2003 for the building of the city of one of the night in the quiet was exploded excavation, in order to Rush in the morning before the scene cleaned up, modern construction machinery, the speed of the sage of a generation of bones, relics no longer, the imperial gift of cultural relics piece of paper does not remain, together with the two inscriptions lost, so far, right and wrong is not clear cut.
The history of Lianxi culture in Hengyang had a brilliant, that Hengyang people respect him, pay attention to him. His character, learning and official reputation had fed countless learned men and women, and naturally fed the sages after Hengyang.
Zhou Dunyi loved the lotus and had a special relationship with Hechuan in Chongqing, where he was appointed by the emperor in 1056 to be the general magistrate of Hezhou (now Hechuan).
At that time, although there were already more than 10,000 families in Hezhou, there was no state school, and there were not many readers. Zhou Dunyi decided to organize the state school to change the backward cultural situation in Hezhou.
There is a mountain on the east bank of the Jialing River outside the city of Hezhou, called Mount Bachelor, located in Jia, Fuling, Drainage three rivers convergence - Hezhou from the Republic of China renamed Hechuan also according to this. From the top of the mountain to look down the mountain, the river is long, white sails point, the scenery is very beautiful. Zhou Dunyi thought: this is really a good place to study ah, if you can put the state school here would be good. He inquired about it, and it turned out to be the private garden of Zhang Zongfan, a big squire in Hezhou. He decided to visit, and Zhang Zongfan **** business state school. Zhang Zongfan very respect Zhou Dunyi's learning character, quickly agreed to his request, the entire garden donated free of charge. After the state school, Zhou Dunyi invited Zhang Zongfan to preside over the school, widely recruited more than a thousand students, regardless of poverty and wealth, as long as the talent and intelligence, are included. He also invited all the world literati to come to lecture, the great writer Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe, etc. have been invited to come. Hezhou schoolchildren reading has become a trend, talented people, every year to be out of one or two jinshi, Hezhou state school reputation. Zhang Zongfan also by the local gentry all of a sudden into an enlightened scholar-gentry, became the model of the Northern Song Dynasty gentry. He felt very proud, invited the skilled craftsmen, built an octagonal pavilion at the top of the mountain, would like to ask Zhou Dunyi inscribed plaque "Octagonal Pavilion", Zhou Dunyi, but waved the brush handwritten the "Pavilion of Nurturing the Heart" three words, after writing, meaningful explanation: "People, noble in the heart also."
Zhou Dunyi served as Hazhou Tongjian five years, outstanding performance. Later, no matter where he went, he was mindful of Hezhou state school, mindful of the octagonal pavilion, but also made a "Pavilion of Nurturing the Heart Remembered" sent to Zhang Zongfan engraved in the pavilion. After Zhou Dunyi's death, the decline of Hezhou state school, gradually ceased to exist, the Octagonal Pavilion is also through the storm, repeatedly suffered from conflagration and war. Ming Chenghua years, hezhou governor Tang Xun in the old site to rebuild the octagonal pavilion, and in the pavilion walls painted Zhou Dunyi portrait, in order to express their admiration. Qing Guangxu years, local officials in the octagonal pavilion near the construction of a Ganquan Temple, molded Zhou Dunyi statue, incense is very prosperous. In the early years of the Republic of China, the local townspeople in the octagonal pavilion under the excavation of a large cavern, the cave dripping ding-dong, people call it "Ganquan Lingmilk", Octagonal Pavilion and add a new scene, become one of the eight Hechuan. To this day, the people *** and the Octagonal Pavilion as a key cultural relics protection units, and the Octagonal Pavilion maintenance, from now on, the thousand-year-old Pavilion re-released the former glory, has become a rare monument.
Once, he took a boat from Hezhou to visit Pu Zongmeng in the south. On the way, he told the admirers of the scholars, "A person's hobby is not the same, such as the world's many flowers, Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty preferred to love chrysanthemums, Li Tang since the world and more love peonies. My dynasty poet Lin Bu took plum as his wife, and never married. And I love the lotus flower, you see it in the mud and not be polluted, Maundy in the clear ripples and not show charm. The center of the access, the outside of the show straight, no branches and vines, pavilion incense far overflowing clear, can be viewed from afar, but can not play with it at will. These four kinds of flowers, like four kinds of people, chrysanthemum is a recluse, peony is rich and noble people, plum blossom is elegant and pure people, lotus is a gentleman. However, although the chrysanthemum is good, but the seclusion of a solitary, lonely; peony, although colorful, seems to be rich and glorious, just like the world; plum blossom fragrance and high purity, cold only with the pine and bamboo as friends. Only the lotus flower, dignified and upright, noble and extraordinary, with a gentleman's demeanor, living in the world but not tainted by the world." When Wei Deweng was on a mission to eastern Sichuan in the Southern Song Dynasty, he built the Lianxi Shrine in Hezhou to honor him. In the 10th year of Jiajing of Ming Dynasty (1531 AD), Qiu Daolong, the royal historian, built Lianxi Academy (also known as Hezong Academy) in Nanjin Street of Hezhou, which shows the vast and far-reaching influence of Mr. Lianxi and his flow of Lianxue on Hechuan.
and RuchengZhou Dunyi (1017-1073), the word Mao Shu, the original name Tunshi, to avoid the old name of Emperor Yingzong and changed his name. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Daozhou Yingdao (present-day Daoxian County, Hunan Province), known as Mr. Lianxi. Mr. Lianxi was a famous thinker of the Song Dynasty and the founder of the science of reasoning. In the history of Confucianism in China, there is a historical position of the former and the latter, Huang Baikai once commented: "After Confucius and Mencius, Han Confucianism is only the study of scripture, the extinction of sexuality and micro-phrases for a long time. The rise of Yuan Gong, two Cheng heir, but also the Hengqu the great Confucian generation, the Holy School of Dachan. Therefore, the stability, the group Lei Zhuo almost have the norms of Confucianism, but can only be said to have opened the must first. If on the elaboration of the essence of the heart of righteousness, the end of the number of AD's broken darkness" ("Song and Yuan school case - Lianxi school case"). This is a very fair assessment.
and HengyangZhou Dunyi was born on May 5 (June 1) in the first year of Emperor Chenzong Tianxi of the Song Dynasty (1017) in the village of Loutian in Daocheng County, and died on June 10 (July 24) of Emperor Xining of the Song Dynasty (1073) in the sixth year of Emperor Shenzong's reign. Because of poverty, "thick porridge do not give" the inability to return home, buried Lushan Li Shuling.
When he was twenty years old, with his uncle on the appointment for "a word of clear doubt, for the Secretary to find. At the age of twenty-one, his mother died to keep the system, twenty-four years old from Fenning County (now Xiushui County) to do, to fifty-five years old, the end of the job in Guangnan East Road to point out the criminal prison (ruled by Shaoguan), because of the disease begged to transfer to the Nankang Division of the Senate after the resignation.
He was a clean official judgment, political and academic highlights, history, he and Bao Gong, is a representative of the culture of clean officials. Therefore, the court honored his father. Father Zhou Fucheng final post Guiling county magistrate resigned, Song Yingzong in Jiayou eight years (1063), granted the Langzhong, four years (1067) and then awarded the Counselor General, edited into the ritual Xiangxian Ancestral Temple and Qisheng Ancestral Temple, and Confucius parents to enjoy the same sacrifices.
Zhou Dunyi died, Song Huizong Zhenghe six years (1116) sealed Xuanfeng Daifu, Jiading thirteen years (1220) posthumously, so called Yuan Gong (students two Cheng at the same time posthumously pure posthumous positive). Southern Song Li Zong Chunyou first year (1241) sealed RuNanBo, the Yuan Dynasty RenZong YanYou six years (1319) sealed DaoGuoGong, successive dynasties into the Confucian temple.
Ming Daizong Jingtai seven years (1456) sealed its descendants twelve generations of grandson Zhou Coronation hereditary Dr. Wuxing, until the end of the Qing Dynasty more than four hundred years *** sealed thirteen Dr. Wuxing, which is since the Han Emperor Wu Di Zunzhu set up Dr. Wuxing since the title of Dr. Wuxing, won the Dr. Wuxing the most longest time of the family.
The Northern Song Dynasty Qianxing yuan (1024) August 20 Zhou Fu Cheng died, when Zhou Dunyi 8 years old, because of the family's poverty, a family of four with his mother to Hengyang to rely on his uncle Longtuqi straight Bachelor Zheng Xiang, he was smart and filial, y loved Zheng Gong, Zheng Gong nephews such as children, according to the Zheng family name into the Duncan generation. And because he loved the white lotus, Zheng Xiang in front of his house under the West Lake Phoenix Hill, "Pavilion planted lotus", (today's Hengyang City, commonly known as Qiyangbai) he negative book between the scriptures and enlightenment. Until Zheng Xiang served as a transfer ambassador of Zhejiang and Jiangsu Province, the canal river Shuyishan only with his mother with the relocation of Runzhou Dantu County (now Danyang City, Jiangsu Province). Hengyang people have been rumored for generations that the eight scenic spots in Hengyang "West Lake night release white lotus" allusion and "White Lotus Fairy play West Lake" legend that is from his nephew and nephew love and enlightenment of the story.
Zhou Zi because of the diligence of negative disease and early death life fifty-seven years old, life's most important period of growth in Hengyang for more than ten years. After he was thirty-one years old Chen County and Guiyang County (now Rucheng County), thirty-eight years old Dali Temple, forty-nine years old Yongzhou, fifty-three years old Guangnan East Road transit judge and in Chenyi seven years back to his hometown to pay homage to his ancestors are in the Zhou Dunyi in the midst of the rest, lecturing, explore the old, visit friends.
So, Hengyang compared to his birthplace Tao County, home to Jiujiang, is his longest living place, but also the most difficult time of his life, his uncle, the Hengyang sage Zheng Xiang Ji orphans and children to help cultivate and educate him and shade complement to the civil service, Zheng Gong in the Lianxicun Zhou family traditionally referred to as the beneficiary of the uncle. Zhou Zi know how to return the favor, his wife Lu accompanied his aunt for nineteen years before she gave birth to a son with her husband, and died at the age of thirty-seven due to exhaustion and illness. This is the origin of the deep Hengyang plot that has been passed down by the descendants who are full of gratitude. Hengyang is the place where Mr. Lianxi grew up, and it is also the root base of Lianxi culture. Because of this, Zhou Dunyi's two descendants in Hengbei and Zheli are "looking up to the remains of their great-grandfather, Mr. Lianxi, in Hengyang and can't bear to leave". They came here to inherit the ancestral property left by Mr. Zheng to the Zhou family and have prospered until now. From this addition to the descendants of the star living at home and abroad, but they often go home to see, in recent years, descendants of the increasing number of visits to worship ancestors here.
