Liuzi Temple Review

Liuzimiao is located in Shangliuzi Street on the West Bank of Xiaoshui, Yongzhou City. In 8114 AD, people built it in memory of Sima Liuzongyuan, a famous writer in Tang Dynasty. Outside the ancient city of Yongzhou, the Liuzi Temple at the foot of the West Hill is always so peaceful and comfortable. Blue bricks are shining with gold; red walls and green tiles are elegant and dignified; purple smoke is solemn and solemn; dragons are painted with Phoenix and extraordinary momentum. It's not like Mr. Zi Hou's character. He not only gives you a profound philosophical feeling, but also makes you respectable and lovable. This is Liu Zi Temple, no, this is Mr. Liu. Liu Hedong, a 20-year-old scholar named by Han Tui as "less sophisticated, no less accessible"; Liu Zihou, who was brave in "Yongzhen Innovation" advocating reform but not falling into the blue clouds; Liu Zongyuan, known as "Han Liu" who advocated the ancient prose movement because of "Wen carries Tao" and died in Liuzhou at the age of 47 in a foreign country; Liu Zongyuan, known as "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties" because of his articles. 。 Han Chong Confucianism, Liu Chong Reality; Han Chong Taoism, Liu Chong "Ming Dao"; One is to restore ancient times, one is to present. Both advocates of the ancient prose movement emphasized Tao, but they had different opinions. However, an epitaph of Liu Zihou made later generations know Liu's deeds and immortal achievements, and felt that Liu's life was frustrating and his talent was not met. As a thinker, the simplistic materialist atheism of the separation of heaven and man without superstition not only helps us understand the role of human historical evolution, but also makes us understand that his literary views are completely subordinate to his philosophical and political propositions. No one who has read such articles as Dao Shu of Anwei's neutral commentator will forget that his teachings - "Literature is based on Ming Dao" are for the purpose of writing; "Literature is not based on fame, and the facts intended to be given are based on transitivity," which is a good idea for the livelihood of the people. We are told that the function of the article is to distinguish right from wrong, to have allegory and to admonish. It is said that the value of his great thought lies in the "transitivity of complementary time", which is indeed appropriate. Read his fables and sketches, we will understand that no matter in the past or in the present, there is no lack of foxes and tigers, foreign powers and middle-class, spoiled and arrogant accomplices and villains. He warned us - "How long does it take to live in the world to distinguish right from wrong? His landscape travels, which melt poetry, painting and personal resentment into one furnace, have made future generations realize that the beauty and magnificence of the motherland's rivers and mountains are complementary to the kindness, resentment and injustice of the world, and that beauty and ugliness, good and evil are dialectical. Mr. Liu, you are in such a hurry that forty-seven years are numbered, but your thoughts are so great that your immortal masterpiece will last forever.
