After the Song Dynasty, "Zheng Wen" was the highest posthumous title of ministers. Some celebrities, such as Sima Guang and Fan Zhongyan, praised Zheng Wen after their death.
Zheng Wen was the highest in posthumous title in Qing Dynasty, followed by Wen Zhong and Wen Gong, followed by Wen Cheng, Wen Duan, Ke Wen and Wen Xiang. The core authority of the Qing Dynasty was the Ministry of War, but when the Ministry of War sent Minister posthumous title, it could only be "Wen Zhong". Under normal circumstances, only those who are ministers have outstanding moral achievements, and after being drafted by the cabinet, the emperor personally gave this infinite grief and honor. So it was not until the minister went to posthumous title after his death that the emperor's final view of the minister was evident. Celebrities such as Li Hongzhang, Zan Wenzhong, Zuo and Zhang Zhidong, the reds of the late Qing Dynasty, all praised them, but none of them won the highest posthumous title. The highest goal pursued by millions of courtiers in Ming and Qing dynasties is "Jin is a teacher, and writing is correct when he dies".
In the Qing Dynasty, there were eight people: Tang Bin, Liu Tongxun, Zhu Gui, Cao Zhenyong, Du Shoutian, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzao and Sun Jianai. Tang Bin was a famous Neo-Confucianist in Kangxi period. He was famous for his daring to fight in Korea, and was named "Zheng Wen" in the first year of Qianlong. Zhu Gui, Du Shoutian, Li Hongzao and Sun Jianai were all praised as "Zheng Wen" by their emperors. Zeng Guofan led the Xiang army to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising when the Qing Dynasty was in turmoil, and turned the tide, ranking first among the famous Tongzhi ministers, and deservedly praising "Zheng Wen". Liu Tongxun, a famous minister in Qianlong Dynasty, was a minister of military affairs. He is upright and upright, and he has achieved extraordinary things. He was loved by the people and finally praised as "integrity". Only Cao Zhenyong is a mediocre man, and his criticism of "Zheng Wen" has been criticized by later generations.
The funeral ceremony in Ming Dynasty was slightly different from that in Qing Dynasty. Posthumous title, a military commander, begins with "Wu", such as Xu Da's "Wu Ning" funeral. Liu Ji, Wang Shouren and other civil servants praised Wencheng. As far as I know, Li Dongyang and Ni are "honest" in the next generation, but they are far from comprehensive. Welcome friends to add.
