During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhai Jinguan of Bijie, Guizhou Province was made an academician by the court. At first, he was the editor of the Hanlin Academy, responsible for drafting and compiling history books. Later, he was promoted to be a lecturer, specializing in teaching classics and reading history for emperors and generals. At the age of 4/kloc-0, he became a local official, and successively served as the garrison commander of Youjiang in Guangxi, the salt ambassador of Guangdong, the provincial judge of Fujian and the provincial judge of Yunnan, with remarkable achievements in his life. Zhai Jinguan can grow into a pillar of talent, not only thanks to the guidance of many good teachers, but also inseparable from the careful education of his uncle Zhai Xiang.
Zhai (1754-1810) Zishen 'an Yueshan Mountain. His ancestor was a Tuntou Tunren in Xiongzhong Town and was buried in Shuikou Society of Qingshan Village on the other side of Tuntou River. Zhai Xiang was born in Zhajiawan, Wang Guan, Bijie, Guizhou, and then moved to Yunjinzhuang, Guiyang (now Wudang District, Guiyang). Zhai Shixiang was a famous educator in Guizhou during the Ganjia period in the Qing Dynasty. Yang Dianbang's Biography of Mr. Zhai Yueshan, Song Shaogu's Biography of Mr. Yue Shan, and Zhai Rongguan's Notes on Yueshan House, etc., are highly appraised in articles such as Zhai Xianchang's Zhai Jinguan and Bijie Sanzhai in Bijie and local chronicles such as Guiyang, Bijie and Dading.
According to the Records of Guizhou Dading Prefecture, Mr. Yueshan is honest, sincere in words and deeds, and smart in mind. He can write at the age of seven. Older, well-read, especially good at classic works such as Shangshu and Zuoshi Chunqiu, enjoying a high reputation. In the forty-second year of Qing Qianlong (1777), Ding Youke was promoted in Bijie, in the fifty-fourth year (1789), he worked as an instructor in Guiyang, and in the fifty-sixth year (179 1), he was released from Guishan Academy (equivalent to the vice president of Guizhou University today). Zhai Jinguan 12 years old studied with his uncle. Under the careful education of his uncle, he was good at poetry, and he wrote poems and articles at a young age, with superior wisdom.
Mr. Yue Shan is a teacher by example, often encouraging Zhai Jinguan to cultivate his self-cultivation, taking the ancient sages as an example and determined to serve the public; I still guide my students seriously. Zhai Jinguan knows his uncle and admires him. Other students mistakenly think that Teacher Yueshan is pedantic. Later, everyone saw that Mr. Wang was knowledgeable, eloquent and tireless, and it was easy to stand up and talk, so he changed his mind and respected and trusted him more. Even He Bi, the former president of Guishan College in Guiyang, transferred her son Yingjie to Mr. De for further study. Some people are even more proud of Mr. De's teaching.
List of Bijie ancient and modern figures published in April 2007? In the article Zhai Shixiang, there is a historical cloud: in the early days, people in Guiyang knew little about the phonological diseases of poetry (referring to errors in meter, antithesis, rhyme, etc.), while Shi Xiang pointed to the teaching method, and poetry began to be polyphonic; Today (during the Tongzhi period), many people who can write poems say that they benefited from Mr. Yue Shan's teaching and became famous in the village. Everyone has always been grateful to him.
In the first year of Jiaqing (1796), Mr. Yueshan was appointed as Zheng Xue of Pu 'an Prefecture, and still supervised Guishan Academy. In the second year of Jiaqing (1797), the governor of Guiyang, out of concern for Mr. Le's personality and knowledge, asked Zi Yinglin to learn from him. In the 11th year of Jiaqing (1806), Mr. Yueshan was promoted to Professor Guiyang, but he did not take office because of his mother's death. Sun Yuting, then governor of Guizhou, valued Mr. Virtue and appointed him as the dean of Guishan Academy. During this period, Zhai Jinguan benefited from his uncle's teaching and enlightenment, successfully passed the Jinshi examination and was named an academician by the court. In the 13th year of Jiaqing (1808), Mr. Yue Shan became the president of Guishan College (equivalent to the president of Guizhou University today). After Manchukuo, Eyunbu succeeded as the governor of Guizhou, and it was said that "Mr. Yue Shan is the first choice for teachers", so he visited Mr. Yue's home three times and continued to invite him to be the host of Guishan Academy. Mr. Sang Zi Yueshan, Deze, said in Bijie County Records of Qing Dynasty: Shi Xiang is good at teaching, and is good at promoting and recommending talents, which is highly praised by southern Guiyang. Scholars, whether they know it or not, call themselves Mr. Yue Shan's disciples and call him "Mr. Yue Shan".
What is the function of education? Is education a means to help students improve their social status? Not exactly. The real function of education is to teach students the ability of self-discovery, analysis and problem-solving, to promote their all-round development, to improve their cultural level and civilization, to make them not only have culture, but also have self-cultivation, self-consciousness, freedom based on constraints and kindness to others, and to cultivate talents who are beneficial to society and ordinary people and have a correct life path, go far and go long-Mr. Yue Shan should be here.
Mr. Yue Shan has been teaching for nearly 20 years, and there are more than 100 people with both ability and political integrity, such as his nephew Zhai Jinguan. There are 6 foreign officials (provincial officials in Qing Dynasty) and Korean War (collectively referred to as Hanlin and Zhan Shi in Qing Dynasty), 9 people live in the Imperial Examination Department, and more than 30 people are close to the people. Three sons and two candidates, the eldest son Zhai Guanyu was appointed as Liping, and the second son Zhai Rongguan was appointed as magistrate of a county by Weng 'an. Although Zhai Guanjun, the third son, was not promoted, he was an excellent student in Guiyang official school and stayed in Guishan College to teach. According to relevant local records, none of Mr. Yue Shan's favorite students has outstanding achievements, and none of them does not have the noble quality of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later". Zhai Jinguan, a judge in Yunnan Province, is one of the representatives of many outstanding people. Mr. Wang has made extraordinary achievements in teaching and educating people. It can be said that peaches and plums are everywhere, and good teachers make good apprentices!
Mr. Yue Shan devoted himself to education all his life, devoted himself to his duties and respected himself. He has won the trust and attention of several senior officials in Guizhou, and his political achievements have reached their peak and achieved fruitful results. This kind of situation is rare in China in ancient and modern times!
In the 15th year of Qing Jiaqing (18 10), Mr. Yue Shan died at home at the age of 56. After his death, disciples and later scholars missed him infinitely and enshrined him in Yangming Temple in Guiyang.
The value of life is different, but all valuable lives have one thing in common: to contribute to society through their own labor creation and to promote the progress of themselves, others, the collective or society from different aspects. As a great educator with outstanding reputation in the history of Wumeng Mountain, Mr. Zhai Yueshan's life is very valuable!
