19 years old Jinshi Ji, once served as an Anfu ambassador of Jinghu South Road, and served as an official in Baowenge. During his administration, he applied for decrees to punish traitor officials and achieved outstanding achievements. Zhu Yisheng devoted himself to establishing Neo-Confucianism and making it the ruling thought. However, because Neo-Confucianism is a fledgling school, its influence is not deep. At the same time, Zhu offended powerful people because of his honest and clean official character, which led to a tragic ending in his later years. Zhu has made great achievements in philosophy. The main philosophical works include Notes to Four Books and Sentences, Four Books or Titles, Illustration of Taiji, Interpretation of Tongshu, Interpretation of Mingxi, Original Meaning of Zhouyi, Enlightenment of Yijing, etc.
Zhu is also a writer, who has created many poems in his life, such as Random Thoughts on Reading, Bodhisattva Man, Nanxiangzi, Shuidiao Getou, Xijiang Moon, Nian Nujiao, Jade Case, Manjianghong, Gutian and so on.
Zhu left many inspiring life quotes for later generations:
1, honesty is the foundation of self-cultivation, and goodness is the foundation of honesty.
2. Maintain integrity and respect justice.
Those who have no doubt about reading must teach those who have doubts and doubts, but there is no doubt that they will make progress here.
4. It is difficult for young people to learn when they are old, and an inch of time is not light.
5. How clear is the canal? Because there is inexhaustible living water for it.
6. For the way of learning, don't precede poverty. The key to poverty must be reading, the method of reading, not expensive in order and refinement, and the essence of exquisiteness lies in respect and ambition.
7. If you are honest and loyal, you can attack me and become a good friend. His flattery is frivolous, arrogant and rude, leading people to evil and harming others to friends.
8. Save yourself in Japan. Change it if you have it. If not, plus encouragement.
