The most touching thing about "The Legend of Zheng Qiao" is that it breaks out of the novelty-seeking framework of "legend" and uses plain narrative to outline the spiritual background of a scholar. The author did not deliberately beautify Zheng Qiao's life, but faced his dilemma head-on: lack of resources when he was studying, displacement during his travels, loneliness and poverty when he was writing. These details make the character more real. And when we see Zheng Qiao refusing to be called by the imperial court and sticking to the mountains and forests to complete "Tongzhi", people can truly feel the purity of "born for academics". This book is not just about telling a person's story, but more like a mirror that reflects the power of concentration and love. After reading it, people have a deeper understanding of "persistence". Mad Confucian in troubled times! He used his pen as a shield to keep the soul of Chinese history alive - strongly recommending "The Legend of Zheng Qiao" War was raging in the Southern Song Dynasty, and some people actually lived in seclusion in the mountains to "write history against heaven"! Zheng Qiao refused to escape from the world and built a monastery, and the craftsmen helped him for free. The black ape "Mo Mo" who understood human nature used his body to protect him from the manuscript in the heavy rain. The star map tripod in the Minyue ruins of the pre-Qin Dynasty even hides the historical code. Qin Hui's gang members falsely accused him of searching for manuscripts, so he retired from government service with the help of "Song Xingtong". In his later years, he lost his sight and still created the three realms of "viewing history with the heart". He piled up the manuscripts of "Tongzhi" in the cabinet while his disciples recited them. There is no boring textual research, only perseverance in desperate situations, cross-species warmth and literati character! It turns out that "study" can really become "defending the city", guarding the historical truth, and protecting the soul of the nation. This light in troubled times still touches people's hearts. Who can not love such a passionate legend? Open it quickly and unlock the shock of thousands of years of cultural heritage!
"The Legend of Zheng Qiao" breaks out of the boring biography framework and outlines the historical legend of scholars in the Southern Song Dynasty with vivid writing. In the troubled times, Zheng Qiao lived in seclusion in Jiajiao Mountain, using bamboo slips as armor and historical pens as blades. After experiencing false accusations, blindness and other hardships, he still adhered to his original intention of "writing straight records based on facts". The warmth of the white monkey guarding the manuscript and the help of the craftsmen add warmth to the hard-core historical story; the plot of solving puzzles on the ancient Fujian and Yue bamboo slips and outsmarting the traitor further demonstrates the scholar's character. The book not only contains the rigor of scholarship, but also contains the power of passing on Chinese culture from generation to generation. Zheng Qiao has practiced "reading is to defend the city" throughout his life, letting the glimmer of troubled times penetrate through thousands of years. It is both shocking and moving to read. It is an excellent work that pays tribute to persistence and inheritance.
"The Legend of Zheng Qiao" outlines the legendary life of the great historian of the Song Dynasty in a delicate way. The book not only shows Zheng Qiao's insistence on "writing books for thirty years and searching for books for ten years" when he lived in seclusion in Jiajiao Mountain, but also shows his courage to defy all opinions and innovate the style of history. The author interweaves his academic hardships with his feelings about his family and country, making the image of this scholar who advocates "understanding all schools of thought" vivid and vivid. The text is concise but full of respect, which not only shows the difficulties of writing "Tongzhi", but also conveys the sincerity of the scholars to "use history to benefit the people". Covering the book and meditating, Zheng Qiao's academic spirit has traveled through thousands of years and still illuminates the path of exploration for future generations of scholars. It is an excellent work with both historical value and humanistic warmth.
