Deng Yuanxi studied hard from Xiaominying, with great ambitions, and rarely studied in Lingshan Jingshe and authentic academies in the county. During thirteen years of studying in Sichuan, Huang was keen on observing classics and history. Some people think this is bad for his career development. In Sichuan, he said, "If you like dragons, will they be brilliant?" At the age of seventeen, he was able to use the method of social storage to save grain and help the poor, and won the admiration of the villagers. I listened to Jinxi Luo's speech, so I went. Later, I studied in Ji 'an, and then in Zhu Xianda, where I learned from prestigious scholars all over the country. In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing (1555), Xie Dumen was evil and devoted himself to writing. He thought that "floating fame" ran counter to learning and learned from Zou Shouyi, Liu Bangcai and Liu Yang. He called himself "Hidden Valley" and experienced 30 years of hot and cold weather. Because of his profound knowledge and insight, he eventually became a well-known scholar at that time and was called "Mr. Hidden Valley".

Throughout his life, he likes to learn from the past, hiding virtue and avoiding obsidian. Fan Lai, a native of Xiuning, was appointed as the magistrate of Jianchang, and paid special attention to Deng Yuanxi. Later, he served as the magistrate of Nanchang. In the 16th year of Wanli (1588), he went to the DPRK to report on his work and recommended Deng Yuanxi. Zhao Yongxian, Nanjing Jiuji, Wang Daoxian, Yushi, Qin Dakui and Han Zhen all recommended him to North Korea, but he refused. In Begging to Return to the Land, the speech is sincere and the determination is sincere. Finally, because the court granted him an exemption from the test, he was hired by the "Hanlin History", and the official department held a letter to urge him to leave, and he was obliged to go to work within a time limit. Before I left, I went to my mother's grave to pay my respects. Unfortunately, I died in my grave at the age of 66. The villagers privately called him "Mr. Wen Tong". The world called him, Wu Yubi, Liu Yuanqing and Huang Zhang "Four Gentlemen of Jiangyou".

Deng Yuanxi's academic achievement thought originated from Wang Shouren, but it is not detailed. At that time, he opposed the theory that "learning without feeling, feeling without ceasing, nine abilities, Jiu Si, four religions and six arts are all fettered" and thought: "Nine abilities have no cultivation and no body; Jiu Si's carelessness was unintentional. " Calm down and rest assured. Although he reads a lot, he belongs to the Six Classics. Every morning, scholars can rest assured that when they eat, they will ask about their body and mind for the second time, and then they will realize what they have done. Mr. Wang distinguishes between Confucianism and Buddhism and Taoism, thinking that what Confucianism did not do was nothing more than saying that this is the same but different at the end. Confucianism said: "What teachers know is true and upright, but not true." He said: "Zen is only at the end, and it is useless." Then he added, "Stone's talk is inconsistent. Considering its practicality, I will make two parts. " Sir, you can't say that, but Confucianism is simple first, and Sir is clean.

Huang Zongxi, a famous Confucian scholar in the Qing Dynasty, pointed out in his case of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty that "Deng's essays were popular in modern times, and he returned to Zen at large", which pointed out the ideological origin of Deng Yuanxi. And his theory is included in the ninth volume (24 volumes) of Jiangyou Wangmen Case, and some quotations and articles are extracted. Yuan said: "Take this day as the Sect, take nuance as the epiphany, take precautions as the merit, and reach the heavens from the micro to the extreme." Another point is that you know the quality and can use it. "He advocates that the Tao is based on heaven, and the task of human beings is to do it in strict accordance with the teachings of ancient sages by means of' nuance' and' beware of danger', understand the truth of nature clearly, and act in good faith, so as to reach the highest state of harmony between man and nature and guide life practice. In the era of Deng Yuanxi, Neo-Confucianism was unprecedentedly prosperous, and various ideological trends were extremely active, among which "Xue Xin" headed by Wang Yangming was the most popular. There are also many schools in Wangmen, and there are different opinions. Zou Shouyi, Liu Bangcai and others, as descendants of the mantle, vigorously promoted Yangming's authentic theory. At that time, there was a saying in the Heart Sutra: "Learning is only meaningless, and there is no righteousness. Jiu Si, Jiurong, Four Religions and Six Arts are all fetters. "I think that' heart' is the origin of the world. Deng Yuanxi, a student of Wangmen Zhengpai, strongly opposed this statement and retorted: "If you don't cultivate nine capacities, there will be no body; "Jiu Si's carelessness was unintentional." He praised the Confucian classics of ancient sages and opposed to confusing "mind" with "Tao" and "knowledge" with "action". This is no different from the theory of "mind is reason" and "unity of knowledge and action" at that time. Therefore, it should be said that Deng Yuanxi's academic thought originated from "the study of mind", but its purpose belongs to the Six Classics. He paid homage to the classic Six Classics and sincerely praised: "Great! The former teacher's "Six Classics" is almost magnificent, and the love between heaven and earth is well prepared. It's no use deleting the training. Modern scholars are slow to hear and see, and are confused with the original works. His teacher's heart is for his own use, his mouth is fixed on the footnotes of the Six Classics, and he ignores learning without doing business. I am very ill. " He was extremely disgusted with the deviant attitude of some scholars at that time. This deviant attitude was limited to the annotation of Confucian classics without requiring a very good understanding, which reflected his rigorous academic attitude and profound knowledge.

The Five Classics of Yi compiled by Yuan Dynasty includes the Six Classics, Yi, Yi, Chunqiu Tong and Yi, which are included in the Classic Department of Siku. He said: "Books, poems, rituals, music and spring and autumn are all lucky." Yi "holds the word Austria, and its yuan life is also." Isn't it great that heaven is restored? The gods are silent. On the text, he annotated the text of the original book, interpreted the meaning of the text, and attached a large number of comments and articles to the scripture with his own feelings as the center. When he interpreted the Book of History, he "paid attention to the heart of man and the heart of Tao, and was dangerous but refined", from which he saw the philosophy about the heart of man and the heart of Tao. Therefore, he regards this book as the highest model of learning, and he often follows the instructions in the book and benefits a lot. When commenting on the Book of Songs, he thought that "the wind is the main emotion, which is enough to prosper the country;" The subjectivity of' elegance' is positive enough; When' Ode' arrives at the immortal, it will be extremely fatal. " Sanli refers to the ancient Quli, Yili and Zhouli. When compiling, he adjusted part of the order of the original book and came to the conclusion: "Quli system is humane and reasonable, but it is humane or almost silent when it dies." And "righteousness" is the first king, so Xun Qi is the world and the end of benevolence and righteousness; Death leads to national immorality. " Zhou Li "system, the heaven is clear, and you die without an official. As for Chunqiu, you can't take notes at will because of writing reasons, so you compiled Chunqiutong. The Book of Changes was Deng Yuanxi's best, and he liked it even more in his later years. He annotated all the hexagrams in it, and based on the Book of Changes, he created several chapters, such as the original picture of nature, the original picture of the day after tomorrow, the preface to the book of changes, the ten wings, and the theory of idols. Yi Yi was not finished before his death. He said: "Yi Yi is refined and profound, and it is hard to say anything about it, so as not to make mistakes in the future." Later, his disciples published it on his behalf. Han Shi and Huang Mingshu are both historical books, both of which are listed in the History Department of Sikuquanshu. The history of faith is divided into two parts. The first part is from the Honghuang era to the Yuan Dynasty, based on the classics of past dynasties and adhering to the purpose of the Six Classics. Its purpose is to "examine the unity of sex and festival, examine the changes of ancient and modern clutch, the reason why Wang Dao is corrupt and the reason why Taoism is fickle." Its contents include "speech, discipline, ink, training, narration, biography, ambition" and so on. The second part is compiled according to the three major parts of "Heaven, Earth and Man". From ancient times to the Ming Dynasty, the content is divided into 2 1 categories, such as "heavenly officials, local officials and human officials", which is closely structured and well organized. The Record of Ming Taizu records the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, and the end of Jiajing period. He recorded the figures and events in various periods of the Ming Dynasty, and also focused on the history of the cultural development of the Ming Dynasty, making innovations in style. Xue Xin was included in the category of Neo-Confucianism for the first time, which is a pioneering work and reflects his view of Neo-Confucianism to some extent. Xue Qian Manuscript was included in the Collection Department of Siku, published for his disciple Zuo Jingxian, and collected the poems and quotations of Deng Yuanxi's life. His quotations tried their best to get rid of the influence of psychology and turn to classics, which was very true and particularly valuable at that time. Other books not published in Sikuquanshu include Zhouyi, Zi Yue, Ji Dacheng and Shi Yue, all of which are collections of classics and history.

Deng Yuanxi's life works are extremely rich. According to the statistics of his works in the Summary of Sikuquanshu, only five books and 200 volumes are included. Among them, the Five Classics 15, Sanli 26, Xinshi 8 1, Xinshi 2 1, Ming Di Book 45, and Hidden Learning Draft 12. Others have been found elsewhere. His works are "full of sages, gathering ancient and modern". To sum up, its contents include comments on the ancient Six Classics and works of various schools, comments on historical compilation of various times, records of Ming History and its cultural theory, as well as his own life's poems and quotations. Siku is full of criticism and criticism of his works. However, Tao Wangling of Huiji gave a high evaluation. In the preface of Xue Qian Draft, he said: "Mr. Qian Gu, according to Tao, the same is true, and then it is deduced by Jing; It is also easy to leave the classics and then believe in history; History is also negotiated, and then the text. His literary significance is to blame and obey the law, stand firm, keep the state, elegant and elegant, and full of emotion. For example, there is silk in cocoon silk, painting in cloth and silk, warmth in cocoon silk, and luster in pearls and jade. Starting from the cover star, Mr. Wang is the author of Six Classics. "Although it is exaggerated, it fully affirms the success of the book.

Deng Yuanxi is a philosopher, historian and a writer worthy of the name. In addition to compiling great books on classics and history, he has also made great achievements in writing papers and poems, and his literary talent is extraordinary. In life, he does not easily take articles as entertainment, but occasionally does them, mostly explaining classics for comrades and conducting academic exchanges. His works are profound and meticulous. The article has clear thinking and strong logic; Quote classics and be thorough in reasoning. Writing style such as Zhou Han, vigorous and changeable, solemn and elegant, reasonable. The two prefaces in the History of Faith can better reflect his writing style. You Jiang's "Selected Ancient Documents" commented on these two sequences: "Summarize the remains, generalize and explain. If you draw your eyebrows, there are things that don't mix. Take the outline and dig deep. " In terms of poetry creation, it reflects social reality and records historical events to a certain extent. Such as "Miscellaneous Poems on the Way": "Why did the county push to the edge when the river leveled the soil? Wenjiang defense, Jiang defense is not the best policy. " The reality of preventing rivers caused by the authorities' "no best policy to prevent rivers" is completely exposed. Another example is "Climbing the Peak in Early Summer": "It rained all night in Jiangcheng, and it was climbing alone. The dragon's breath stays on the pale wall, and the warbler sounds like a blue bay. . The dangerous peak has a sloping profile and a winding path. Many Lindong prospered, but they didn't put up with it. " "Lindong" here refers to the "Lindong Party" at that time. There are also many poems that reflect his seclusion and life sentiment. Such as "antique". "Everyone is willing to prolong life, but prolonging life will be laughed at? Day after day, suddenly it was the centenary. Who can tie the hibiscus branches in the western hills? Is it better to recover when people flow to huge valleys? Liu An will chicken dog, eight male ACTS your times. Qin Huang and Hanwu were sneered at by the alchemists. " Most of his poems are ancient and modern, gloomy and gorgeous, and gradually elegant and unique.

Moral Cultivation Deng Yuanxi's studies are undoubtedly successful, and his moral conduct is equally admirable. He is kind, affectionate and upright. 15 years old, his father died, and he was heartbroken, so sad that "water slurry is not allowed". As the eldest son, he has since shouldered the burden of family life. He served his second mother diligently, and his family was cautious; Raising siblings is full of love. 16 years old, Rizo was an orphan, went to him and was fostered 14 years. Later, Zhi Zhu, a good friend of his classmates, and his tutor both died young. Neither of them had children, and both families supported him. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, the "social warehouse method" was introduced to help the poor. First of all, they set up positions in their own ethnic groups and carried them out in a colorful way. Later, more and more people joined, and they joined the community of villages and towns, doing very well. It has persisted for 40 years and helped countless poor people. Filial piety to his mother, living in the tomb for three years, known as "Confucius in my city." He is dignified, generous and polite. After his success in high school, his reputation spread far and wide, and he was invited by dignitaries in an endless stream, but he never visited easily. Others asked for gifts, but they all refused. He is familiar with his friends, never seeking profit, and truly makes a friendship between gentlemen as light as water. But for those scholars who came to ask questions one after another, he took pains to teach. In his later years, he didn't like being a teacher, and only a few people with deep feelings like Deng Cheng followed him as a teacher and became friends.

Historical evaluation praised the Millennium virtues, and China's chapters were handed down from generation to generation. After Deng Yuanxi's death, people addressed him as a man and privately married "Mr. Wen Tong". In order to commemorate his great achievements, his disciples built a temple for him in the county town, and saluted and gave lectures in the temple on the first and fifteenth day of each month. Later, he was incorporated into the county government and the Xiangxian Temple, and was invited to the Zhang Yu Neo-Confucianism Temple as a celebrity in Jiangxi. His deeds are recorded in Ming History, Jiangxi Tongzhi, China Personal Names Dictionary, China Writers Dictionary and County Records. His works are not only included in Sikuquanshu, but also collected by major libraries at home and abroad. Among them, The History of Faith and The Collection of Three Rites are still collected by the Library of Congress.

Deng Yuanxi's Neo-Confucianism needs people to study and explore, and his noble character deserves to be carried forward by modern people.
