Due to the recommendation of Zheng Xiang, a bachelor of my uncle Longtuge, I made Fenning County Master Book. There is a case that has been delayed for a long time and has not been decided. After Zhou Dunyi took office, he was immediately clarified after only one trial. People in the county were surprised and said, "The old jailer can't compare with you!" " The minister recommended him and transferred him to Nan 'an to be the general manager of the army, Cao Shenjun.
There is a prisoner who should not be sentenced to death according to the law, and the transshipment makes Wang Kui want to give him a heavy sentence.
Wang Kui is a cruel and fierce bureaucrat. No one dares to argue with him. Dunyi argued with him alone. Wang Kui didn't listen, so Dunyi threw the boat home and planned to resign, saying, "How can you still be an official like this? I won't kill to please my superiors. " Wang Kui understood that the prisoner was saved. Dunyi was appointed as the county magistrate of Guiyang County, Chenzhou, and his political achievements were particularly remarkable.
Li Chuping, the county magistrate, respected him very much and said to him, "I want to read more books. How about it? " Dunyi said, "You are too old. Please let me tell you something. " Two years later, Li Rang ChuPing really got something.
When Zhou Dunyi was transferred to Nanchang County, Nanchang people all said, "This is the person who can figure out the mystery of Fenning County, and we have the opportunity to appeal." Those rich families, cunning government officials and villains are all in fear, not only afraid of being convicted by the county magistrate, but also ashamed of tarnishing clean politics.
When he was a judge in Hezhou, the people below dared not make a decision without his hand. Even if he handed it over, the people wouldn't. Zhao Bian, the envoy of the Ministry, was confused by some slanders and was very strict with him. Zhou Dunyi took it calmly.
Later (Dunyi) became the chief judge of Qianzhou, and Zhao Bian was the magistrate of Qianzhou. After carefully observing what he did, he suddenly realized, held his hand and said, "I almost lost a talent like you, so I got to know you from now on." Xi Ningchu is the year of Chenzhou.
Thanks to Zhao Bianhe's recommendation, he became a transferred judge in Guangdong and upgraded some prisons. He takes revenge and benefit the people as his duty. It is not afraid of hard work to inspect the area under its jurisdiction. Even if there are miasma and steep and distant places, there is no hurry to inspect.
Because of illness, he asked to be transferred to the Nankang Army Knowledge Army, so he settled down at the foot of Lotus Peak in Lushan Mountain. There is a stream in front of the house, and its downstream passes through the Minjiang River, so he named it after Lianxi, where his hometown is located in Yingdao County.
When Zhao Bian was appointed as the magistrate of Chengdu for the second time, he planned to ask the emperor to reuse him. He died before Dunyi at the age of 57.

original text
Zhou Dunyi, Mao Shu, named Lianxi, is a Taoist priest in Daozhou camp. Formerly known as Dunshi, he avoided the British Sect and changed to the Sect.
Zheng, my uncle, a bachelor of Tuge, is the master book of Fenning. If you stay in prison for a long time, you will make up your mind. He said in surprise, "The old official is not as good as you." The Ministry recommended that Nan 'an Army Manager join the army.
If a prisoner dies unjustly, transshipment makes Wang Kui want to treat him deeply.
Wei Xiao is a fierce official and dare not argue. Dunyi argued with him alone, but refused to listen. Instead, I entrusted the handwritten version, abandoned the official and said, "That's too decent! I won't kill people to flatter others. " If you are enlightened, you will be free from jail.
In particular, the order from Guiyang to Chen was very successful. Li Chuping, the county magistrate, said, "I want to study, so what?" Dunyi said, "Gong Lao Gong, please speak for Gong." Two years pays off.
When I moved to Nanchang, everyone in Nanchang said, "I can tell the difference between a prison and a prison, and I deserve to be sued." Rich families are the most popular, and officials are the least evil. They are not only worried about offending order, but also ashamed of polluting good governance.
Judge Li Hezhou, if you don't handle things, officials dare not decide. Although people refuse to follow. Zhao Bian, the envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was puzzled by slanderers, very arrogant and detached.
After being sentenced to Ganzhou, he became devout, and only when he became familiar with his behavior did he know that he was enlightened. He held his hand and said, "I almost lost my monarch. Now I know Uncle Zhou Mao." At the beginning of Xining, I knew Chenzhou.
On the recommendation of Jane He, he transferred judges to Guangdong, set up some prisons, and took revenge as his responsibility. People in punishments are not afraid of hard work. Although they are far away, they also look down on Xu.
Seeking knowledge from illness, Nankangjun was named after the Lianxi where Ying Lu lived, because there was a small stream in front, which joined the river.
If you take Shu town again, you will use it, and you will die before you arrive, at the age of 57.
Extended data others assessment
Zhu believes that Zhou Dunyi's "Taiji" theory is "pushing the separation and integration of one principle, two qi and five elements, focusing on the subtlety of Taoism"
Although Zhu's evaluation has a profound understanding of Zhou, it somewhat summarizes some characteristics of Zhou Dunyi's philosophical thought. The relationship between reason and qi, static and dynamic, and reason and desire, which were debated by later Taoists, can be found in Zhou Dunyi's philosophical thought. In the philosophical development after the Song Dynasty, Zhou Dunyi's "pioneering" role can not be ignored.
Hu Hong's "Preface to the General Book": "Today, the Cheng brothers don't tell wonders, and the eternal light is like a sunny day, which is beneficial to Yu Yongsheng, like a land of water. Its merits are covered between Confucius and Mencius. "
Huang Zongxi's case of Confucianism in Song Dynasty: "After Confucius, Confucianism in Han Dynasty only learned to pass on classics, and it has been exposed to nature for a long time." The rise of Yuan Gong, Cheng Cheng's successor ... If we discuss the subtleties of mind, nature and justice, we will break the darkness of several Yuan Gong. "
In the sixth year (116), Wei Song was awarded the title of Dr. Feng Xuan, and in the thirteenth year of Jiading (1220), so he was called Yuan Gong (a student with integrity and honesty). In the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Zong was created as Runanbo in the first year of Chunyou (124 1), and Renzong in the Yuan Dynasty was created as a Taoist priest in the sixth year of Yanyou (13 19), and entered the Confucius Temple in successive dynasties. ?
In the seventh year of Jingtai, Ming Daizong (1456), his descendant Sun Zhoumian was awarded the hereditary doctor of the Five Classics, and in the last 400 years of the late Qing Dynasty, thirteen doctors of the Five Classics were awarded. This is the family that has won the Doctor of Five Classics for the longest time since Emperor Wu respected Confucianism.
