1, from Li Gou's Book of Changes. Li Gou (1009- 1059), whose real name is Taibo, was born in Cheng Nan (now Gaofu Town, Zixi County, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province) of Jianchang Army in the Northern Song Dynasty. He is an important philosopher, thinker, educator and reformer in China.

He was born in the middle of Northern Song Dynasty when he was poor and weak. Although he was born in poverty, he was able to work hard, study hard and write diligently in order to save the country and the people. He is eloquent, eloquent and powerless. He gives lectures and is self-sufficient, and there are always hundreds of scholars. Li Gou is knowledgeable, general, especially good at etiquette. He did not stick to the old theory of Confucianism in Han and Tang Dynasties, but dared to express his opinions and truth through righteousness, thus becoming a "pro-Confucianism school". There are thirty-seven volumes of Collected Works of Mr. Li, and three volumes of External Collection are attached. To commemorate Li Gou, there is Taibo Park and a statue of Li Gou in Zixi County, and the Li Gou Memorial Hall is under construction.

3. Li Gou was born in a poor family and called himself "King Nan Cheng". Smart and studious since childhood. At the age of 5, he knew rhythmic calligraphy, and at the age of 10, he studied poetry and prose. After the age of 20, the article gradually became famous, but the imperial examination was frustrated again and again, and his career was slim. Since then, I have lived in seclusion, supported my mother and devoted myself to writing. In the third year of Li Qing (1043), Xujiang Academy was established. In the same year, invited by the county magistrate, he set up a school and taught students, attracting hundreds of scholars. Because he was a Confucian for a while, he was called "Mr. Xu Jiang". Ceng Gong and Deng Runfu, who held important positions in the imperial court, were his disciples. Wang Anshi also had contacts with him. In Answer to Wang Jingshan, he mentioned that he adopted Li Gou's opinion, and Deng Runfu actively participated in Wang Anshi's political reform. Fan Zhongyan wrote in "The First Year of You (1049)" that Li Gou "discussed the Six Classics, argued wisdom, and was relieved by the sage's instructions; Writing a book and saying that it has the style of Mencius and Yang Xiong. " Recommended by Fan Zhongyan, Yu Jing and others for many times, he was awarded the teaching assistant of imperial academy, and served as the storyteller of imperial academy, the main book of Haimen (now Haimen, Jiangsu) and the direct lecturer of imperial academy. In the fourth year of Jiayou (1059), he was in charge of Gou Taixue, moved and buried his grandmother, and asked for leave to return home. He died at home in August at the age of 5 1 and was buried at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain.

Li Gou is not only a thinker, but also a writer. He wrote down great wealth in his life. Before his death, he wrote the draft of 12 and Huang You's sequel of 8 volumes. His protege Deng Runfu compiled six volumes of Postscript for him. The Collected Works of Mr. Li (also known as the Complete Works of Mr. Xu Jiang) consists of 37 volumes. 198 1 year, Zhonghua Book Company compiled, collated and published The Collection of Li Gou, with a total of 370,000 words.

5. Later generations pay more attention to Li Gou. During the Shaoxing period in Song Gaozong, the Ten Immortals Building and the Four Immortals Hall were built in Chengnan to jointly offer sacrifices to Li Gou and Chen Pengnian, and Li Gou was painted in Dacheng Hall of the county school to learn from the scriptures. In the second year of Li Zongbao's reign (1254), Xingwen Temple was established for worship. In the first year of Chenghua (1465), Jianchang built a new ancestral temple in Li Taibo; In the eighth year of Chenghua, Zuo Zan was authorized to rebuild Li Gou's tomb. After the founding of New China, Li Gou's philosophy was listed as an important research project.

6. Many of his thoughts provided theoretical support for Fan Zhongyan's "Qingli New Deal" and were the ideological source of Wang Anshi's "political reform" later. Because of his emphasis on practical application, Li Gou attached great importance to the study of etiquette in Confucian classics. Five essays on the Prince of Zhou Rites are his theoretical masterpieces, and the New Interpretation of Zhou Rites written by Wang Anshi later has far-reaching influence. Because of his emphasis on practicality, Li Gou opposed Mencius and wrote Song of Eternal Sorrow to refute Mencius' thoughts. He opposed the so-called "valuing righteousness over profit" and thought, "What's the harm of benevolence?" (The Original Collection of Li Gou) became the promoter of the "non-Mencius" trend of thought in Song studies. Academically, Confucianism was regarded as the Sect and opposed to Buddhism and Taoism, which was one of the representatives of rejecting Buddhism and Taoism during the Liqing period. Li Gou's works include Collected Works of Xu Jiang, and now there is a collated edition of Collected Works of Li Gou. Among them, Li Lun, On Li Zhou Zhiping and Yan Min in Qing Li are his representative works of thought and scholarship.

7. Li Gou is a knowledgeable general, especially good at etiquette. He did not stick to the old theory of Confucianism in Han and Tang Dynasties, but dared to express his opinions and truth through righteousness and became a "pro-Confucianism school". When students from all directions arrived, the number of scholars was 100, and Ceng Gong and Deng Runfu were his students. Later, it was recommended by Fan Zhongyan and Yu Jing. , and was granted Emperor You for two years (1050), in order to give him a position as a general and assistant of imperial academy. The second year of Jiayou (1057) was played by imperial academy, known as imperial academy storyteller. Jiayou's four years gave him the right to take charge of imperial academy. Because of my grandmother's relocation and burial, I asked for leave to return to China. Died at home in August.
