Wu Youqing is a native of Chongren County, Fuzhou. His great-grandfather Wu Ye began to live in Xiankou. At the age of nine, when other children in Wu Chenghe took exams in rural schools together, their scores were often among the best. Be proficient in classics when you grow up. In the 13th year of Yuan Dynasty (1276), the people had just returned to Mongolia, and thieves were everywhere. Zheng Song, a native of Le 'an, invited Wu Cheng to take refuge in Bushui Valley, so Wu Cheng wrote chapters and sentences in the Book of Filial Piety there, and revised The Book of Changes, Shangshu, The Book of Songs, Spring and Autumn Annals, Yili, Daiji and Xiaoji.
In the early years of Yuan Zhen (1295), Wu Cheng studied in Longxing. According to Hao Wen's experience, he welcomed him to school in the county. He listens to his history of Confucian classics every day and records thousands of words of his questions and answers. Zuo Cheng and Dong invited Wu Cheng to his home to cook for dinner, saying, "Mr. Wu is a rare scholar in the world." After he entered the DPRK as an official, he recommended Wu Cheng as a visionary, and the court promoted him to Hanlin calligraphy. In the first year (1308), the court named him imperial academy Cheng.
After Wu Cheng took office, he lit candles in class every morning, and imperial academy accepted his study in order, but there was an endless stream of people holding scriptures to ask him questions. Wu Cheng explained and coaxed the students repeatedly according to their talents, often until midnight. Whether it is cold or hot, it will not change. When Yingzong ascended the throne, there was an imperial edict to recruit people who were good at calligraphy and write Buddhist "Tibetan Scriptures" with gold powder. In Shangdu, the emperor sent Zuo Cheng to preach the imperial edict Wu as a preface.
Wu Cheng said, "Write an essay and don't show it to future generations. Please wait until the emperor returns to Beijing. " It coincides with the death of the emperor, and this is nothing more than that. Just after the banquet in the first year of Taiding, Wu Cheng, Ping Zhang, Zhang Jue and imperial academy Deng were appointed as lecturers. At the end of the emperor's reign, the ancestral temple was ordered to be built, and the negotiators often lived in one room, so thirteen sacrificial rooms were built. However, before moving the capital, and the country changed greatly, the relevant officials had doubts about the arrangement order of the emperors, and the court ordered a joint trial on this matter.
Wu Cheng put forward: "The ancestors unified the world and all of them were tested and implemented. In ancient times, the Emperor of Heaven had seven halls, each of which was a palace, and each hall was promoted in turn. The palace of this temple is very similar to the six temples in Zhongshu Province. The establishment of provincial offices is also modeled after the official system of Jin and Song Dynasties. How can it not be archaeological because of the sorting of ancestral halls? " The officials in charge were anxious to finish it, and finally they did it in the original order. At that time, Wu Cheng had the idea of resigning and left the city by boat.
Wu Cheng usually writes a book in his spare time and will not stop writing until the end of his life. He has his own descriptions of the Book of Changes, the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Book of Rites, and can explain the profound truth in the book without some far-fetched explanations in the past, and analyze it in detail, making his views concise, insightful and unified. At first, there were several thatched cottages where Wu Cheng lived. Cheng Jufu named them "Caotang", so the students called Wu Cheng "Mr. Caotang". Wu Cheng died four years ago at the age of 85.

In the 13th year of Yuan Dynasty, when the people attached to it, thieves were in the hive, and Zheng Song of Le 'an recruited them to live in Bushui Valley. He wrote chapters and sentences in the Book of Filial Piety, and revised Yi, Shu, History, Chunqiu, Yili and Dai Ji.
At the beginning of Yuan Zhen, You Longxing, according to the inspector's experience, Hao went to the county school to attend classes every day and recorded his own questions and answers, with thousands of words. Zuo Cheng chose to stay at home and support himself, saying, "Mr. Wu is also a scholar in the world." As soon as he entered the DPRK, he recommended him as a Taoist and destroyed the words of Hanlin. To the first year, called imperial academy cheng. As soon as I made it clear, candles were lit in the hall, and all the students were assigned secondary jobs, followed by those who asked classic questions. Because of its material, Cheng Ge is repeatedly trained and lured every night. Although it is not easy to be hot and cold.
Yingzong acceded to the throne, first for the purpose of collecting good books, writing Buddhist scriptures in stupas. The emperor was in the capital and asked Zuo Cheng to write a letter to Cheng as a preface. Cheng said, "It was written as a language and cannot be shown to future generations. Please let it go as soon as you drive. " The emperor will collapse and stop. In the first year of Taiding, a banquet was held at the beginning, and Chengping, Pingzhang politicians Zhang Jue and imperial academy Deng were appointed as lecturers. At the end of Zhi Zhi, it was called the Ancestral Temple, and the discussants used to see the system of different rooms in the same room, which was thirteen rooms. It has not been moved to serve, but it is a national event. Some teachers suspected Zhao Mu for the second time and ordered him to discuss it.
Cheng Yi said: "The ancestors lived all over the world and understood the archaeological system. In ancient times, there were seven temples, each of which was a palace, and each temple was moved to another place. There are quite six books in the temple palace. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also like the Jin and Song Dynasties, and the ancestral temple is not archaeological! " Some companies are in a hurry to act, but Cheng is still waiting for the boat in the city as usual.
I wrote a book in my spare time and didn't do anything until the end. In the Book of Changes, the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Book of Rites, each has his own words and tries his best to convey his own meaning. The article is a narrative, smart and concise, and stands out as a family statement. At first, there were several thatched cottages where Cheng lived. Cheng Jufu called it Caotang, so scholars called it Mr. Caotang. Chengzu, eighty-five years, four years, June.

Extended data
Wu Cheng studied classics all his life and worked tirelessly. He began to revise the Five Classics in his youth, and picked up various viewpoints in his middle age, judged them according to his own ideas, and then described them with articles. He worked hard to discover the "unfinished meaning" of Zhu's study of the Five Classics, and did not start compiling the Five Classics until his later years.
In addition to Shi Zhuan Yan, Sikuquanshu also includes four works: Yi Zhuan Yan, Shu Zhuan Yan, Li Ji Zhuan Yan, Chun Qiu Zhuan Yan, Yi Zhuan Yan Zhuan, Yi Li Yijing Zhuan, Xiaoben and Moral Note.
Zhu's theory has a great influence on Wu Cheng. While editing The Collection of Five Classics, Wu Cheng sorted out the classics, especially from the perspective of justice and principle, made a deep discussion on the minor words and the great meaning, and founded the theory of Zhang Dazhu and Xi.
He got rid of the method of Confucian classics that was limited to literal exegesis in Han and Tang Dynasties, and completed the development process from Han and Tang exegesis to Yi annotation in Song and Yuan Dynasties. Undoubtedly, this is indeed the achievement of Confucian classics that "Zhu Xi's disciples are far behind". Even in the Yuan Dynasty, although many people studied the Five Classics, Wu Cheng made the most remarkable achievement.
