Tan Tai Ming worshiped Confucius as a teacher, but Confucius saw his ugliness and thought that he had few talents. When Ziyou was a butcher in Wucheng, Confucius asked, "Did you get any talents there?" Zi lobbied: "There was a man named Tan Tai Miming, who never took shortcuts or took chances, and never came to my house for nothing." "The Analects of Confucius, Yongye" says, "Zi's martial city, I heard the sound of string songs." Confucius asked Ziyou to recommend talents, and Ziyou recommended Wucheng people to him. Later, Tantai Miming became a famous disciple of Confucius. Later, Tantai destroyed the Ming Dynasty and marched to Wu (that is, Chu State, where he died of old age). There were more than 300 people who followed him. He had a set of teaching management system and had great influence. He was an influential Confucian school in the south at that time. His talent and moral character spread all over the vassal States. When Confucius heard the news, he said with emotion: "I judged by language that I misread the massacre;" "Judge a book by its cover. They are wrong about Yu Zi."
Tantai Mieming was born in Wucheng, Lu (now Feixian, Shandong). Confucius is forty-two years younger (it is inconsistent to say that Confucius is thirty-nine years younger). The appearance is very poor, and Confucius thinks the material is thin. Now that I have been trained, I have retired to practice, and I don't know what to do. I don't see Dr. Qing unless I'm on a business trip. When I conquered Wu, I learned from 300 disciples that I would take this as a promise and become a vassal. Confucius listened and said, "I judge people by their words and lose my way;" Judge a book by its cover. "Yan Yan was killed for Luwucheng, and Confucius asked," What kind of person are you? " Yan said, "if you have a bad life, you can't take the right path." If it's not official business, it's not room for suppression. Not to my house. "
Today, there is Dan Tai Lake in the south of Suzhou, which is said to be a lake formed by its residence, and there is baodai bridge at the mouth of the lake. In the 18th year of the Republic of China (1928), the plan to build a park failed. And the Dan Tai Lake Bridge across the canal.
Seeking knowledge and giving lectures, Emperor Yongping of the Eastern Han Dynasty sacrificed Confucius and seventy-two sages in the fifteenth year (AD 72), and he was one of them. In the twenty-seventh year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (739), it was named "Jiangbo". In the second year of Song Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu (1009), he was promoted to "Hou of Jinxiang" and worshipped Confucius.
After Tan Tai's death, Nanchang people built a memorial hall and a mausoleum for him, and built the Dan Tai Gate to commemorate him. Jinxian County is also named after its southern tour.
"Dadai Wudili" recorded Tan Tai's knowledge-seeking lectures. Tan Taiming joined Confucius, who saw that he was ugly and didn't want to accept him as an apprentice. Because it hindered my idea of "teaching without class", I reluctantly accepted as a disciple. Later, I found out that Tantai had a noble moral character and a correct style of study, so I said with emotion, "Judge a person by his appearance, and lose a hair." Tan Tai-Ming listened to the teachings of Confucius, studied hard and strengthened his self-cultivation. Finally, he learned something and became one of the famous scholars at that time. When he went to Wu to give lectures, his disciples reached 300 and became a generation of famous teachers.
Tantai's death values righteousness over wealth. According to "Broad Records", on one occasion, Tantai Miming crossed the river with a priceless treasure jade, and the boat reached the middle of the river. Suddenly, two dumplings jumped out of the waves and attacked the ferry, trying to seize Baoyu. Tan Taiming said angrily, "I can get justice, but Tan Taiming can't rob." So he chopped two jiaozi with his sword in Hanoi and threw Baoyu into the water to show his generosity. His noble character has influenced generations of Lu people. The legacy of Lu, which has prevailed in Qilu for thousands of years, can be found in "Tantai Destroys the Ghost".
After the death of Tan Taiming, his disciples buried him in his hometown in Wucheng (now 300 meters west of Xiangtuqiao Village, Weizhuang, Pingyi County). Later generations of Confucianism listed him in the West Hall in front of Dacheng Hall of Confucius Temple in Qufu to worship Confucius. In the fourth year (1624) tomorrow, an Erxian Temple will be built in Guanyang Temple in Feixian County to honor Zeng Shen and Zi You. In the third year of the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1766), Hu Shizhuo, the governor of Guanyang Department, changed the temple to the first level from the second level, and renamed Erxian Temple to Sanxian Temple. In the 13th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1808), Sun Xingyan, a grain merchant, erected a tombstone inscribed by Qian Yong in front of the tomb of Miming in Tantai.
People's influence on Nanchang. During the Warring States Period, the whole territory of Jiangxi belonged to the State of Chu. At that time, countries in the Central Plains called places that were disrespectful and heartless "barbarians". In order to integrate with the Central Plains countries and gain their recognition, Chu adopted etiquette system and thought as the code of conduct for governing the country and diplomacy. After leaving Confucius, Mrs. Tan went south to Chu. "There are 300 disciples, so he is a famous vassal." Thus, the disciple of Tantai Miming was famous at that time. Later, these went deep into the hinterland of southern Chu and had a very extensive influence on Chu. It is precisely because of this that Nanchang was far away from the Central Plains at that time, but this land was never called "barbarians".
It is precisely because of this that the reputation of Tantai's extinction has been improved again and again in the achievements of later generations. At the beginning, the memorial tablet of Tan Taiming was dedicated to Confucius in the West Hall in front of Dacheng Hall of Confucius Temple in Qufu. By the fourth year of tomorrow 1624, it belongs to the "Erxian Temple" in Guanyang Town. 1766, in the thirty-first year of Qianlong, Hu Shizhuo, the governor of Guanyang, became the main shrine from worshipping Ceng Zi and Ziyou, and was promoted to Tantai Miming, thus the "Erxian Temple" was renamed as "Sanxian Temple".
It is impossible to verify the time when Tan Taiming died in three cemeteries. But after his death, later generations rushed to set up a tomb to worship. At present, there are three tombs that can be verified, namely Nanwucheng (now Pingyi County, Shandong Province), Xianping (now Tongxu County, Henan Province) and Zhang Yu (now Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province). However, according to historians' research, the destruction of the Ming Dynasty in Tantai should be buried in Emperor Wu (the ancient State of Chu, now a sage)
According to the Records of Nanchang County in the fifty-ninth year of Qing Qianlong, the tomb of Tantai Miming was located in Nanchang. When Cao Gao, the famous Song Dynasty, passed Nanchang, he wrote a monument: "The Tomb of Jade Son of Lv Liantai." The damage of stone tablets in Ming Dynasty is very serious. At that time, Fan Lai, the magistrate, was rebuilt. In the Qing Dynasty, scholars ordered Wang Sixun to set up the stone tablet of "The Son of a Sage in the Tomb", which was rebuilt many times. According to Mr. Wang Jiongyao, who was studying in Nanchang No.2 United Middle School at that time, 1949 After the liberation of Nanchang, there was a deserted tomb of Dan Tai in front of the student canteen behind the campus playground. It was a mound with a stone tablet, and the handwriting of "the tomb of a worker from Taiwan" was faintly visible.
The tomb is located in the living area of Nanchang No.2 Middle School on the shore of East Lake in Nanchang. A platform was built at the tomb site, two trees were transplanted on the platform, and two stones were placed as markers.
Dan Tai Temple's yu zhang Yi Yun recorded a folklore. During the Shaoxing period of the Song Dynasty, a local official named Zhong You first entered Hongzhou and began to tear down the wall to build the city. Because he disturbed the place where he shouldn't have disturbed, Zhong Fu had a strange dream at night, dreaming that an ugly man found him, crying and telling: Why did the general bury my bones outside the grave? After sighing, people reported the next day that a great man's grave had been dug in the southeast corner of the city. After inspection, it was found to be a bone of a Taiwan feather, so the construction was stopped immediately, and the tomb was repaired with bricks and the pavilion was built. Later generations built a Dan Tai Temple not far from the tomb. Because there were piles of bricks around Dan Tai Temple at that time, it was called Wazijiao locally.
Whether Wazijiao originated from this can only be heard, but Dan Tai Temple was built in Nanchang. According to Ming History, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian monopolized the power of the imperial court and claimed to be nine years old. At one time, officials and people rushed to flatter Wei Zhongxian, and ancestral temples and statues were built for Wei Zhongxian all over the country. If there is something to do or finish, he can kneel before the statue and pray. What's more, Lu Wanling, a imperial academy diploma, suggested that The Spring and Autumn Annals was written by Confucius and Yaodian was written by Wei Zhongxian. Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao, and Wei Zhongxian destroyed Lindong Party. Only then can Wei Zhongxian unite with Confucius and build an ancestral temple in the west of Chinese studies.
As a result, the whole country set off a frenzy of building ancestral temples for Wei Zhongxian, and the ancestral temples dedicated to Confucianism were either destroyed or sold. Tantai Miming Shrine was smashed by then Governor Yang Bangxian, and the statue was destroyed. The shrine in Wei Zhongxian was built, but Wei Zhongxian was soon punished, and the shrine was destroyed before it was built. However, it is an eternal regret that the shrine of Tantai Miming has not been repaired.
