Literary family
Pu's family lived in Zichuan, moved to Yuan, and had no literature. His distant ancestors Pu Luhun and Pu served as the general manager of Banyang Fudao, famous for riding in the city, but neither of them served. This tomb is near Dianzi Village in the northwest of the city. Weng Zhong, an old Chinese watch, is commonly known as a "stone woman". Therefore, its ethnic composition has caused controversy in academic circles, and the coexistence of "Mongolia, Jurchen, Hui and Han" is still inconclusive.
According to Pu's genealogy, Pu's surname is Yuan Shixun, and Ning and Shun once suffered from foreigners. Xing was butchered, leaving only a "reserved orphan". When I was six or seven years old, I hid in the ancestral Yang family and changed my mother's surname. After Yuan's death, he took Pu as his surname and Zhang as his ancestor. Later, many descendants lived in Jingzhuang and changed their names to Pujiazhuang. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, among the eight students in the county, their family actually accounted for six. Later, the Ke family came one after another, claiming to be a noble family. From Zhang Pu to Pu Songling calendar 1 1 year, the lineage is:
Zhang Zizhong-Zheng Haizhen-Yongxiang-Shiguang-Ji Fang-Shengling-Pan Songling
Pu Songling's great-grandfather Shiguang was the first member of this family. Four sons were born at that time, one was an instructor and three were Yao Sheng's. Among the descendants of later generations, there were dozens of scholars who issued (3) county decrees and decrees in Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as Juren, Gong Sheng, Yi Sheng and Yao Sheng. His great-grandfather Ji Fang (Line 2) was born in a hurry, and all his five sons were born in Pan Pan. The ancestors died, and none of the five sons picked Qin; His father, Pan, was accompanied by Dong Shi and Li. Because he didn't have a mechanic and his family was poor, he left school to go to sea and was called Su Feng for several years. Laymen don't forget the classics, and Bo Cha is rampant, which is far behind Confucianism. But the eldest son died young, and he had no children for more than forty years (he had adopted a son). He gave money to do good deeds and help the village. Later, he gave birth to four sons (three of whom went to school). He was loyal to the monarch all his life, attached importance to the war, planned to defend the village and funded the repair of the city wall, so he was named "seclusion" in the county annals.
Inspiration learning
In the 13th year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, on the night of April 16th, Pu Songling was born in the north room of Pujiazhuang's hometown. At this time, while his father was dreaming, a sick and thin monk with a coat and a round ointment like copper coins stuck on his chest entered the room. However, Pu Songling was born as a "sickly and barren Gotama".
Pu Songling is the third (the second son of Dong Shi) among the four brothers (less dead, heir Zhao Xing Gui), two brothers (born by Li) and bai ling, and a younger brother He Ling. Due to the gradual decline of the family, the teacher could not postpone, and all four brothers learned from their father. Pu Songling is naturally intelligent and can read history, especially influenced by his father.
In the 14th year of Qing Shunzhi, Pu Songling, aged 65,438+08, married Liu, the second daughter of Daliu (now Daokou Village, Luocun Town).
The next day, newly-married Pu Songling, the son of the first exam, made up his doctoral disciples with county, government and Taoism, and borrowed students. Shandong scholar Shi praised his artistic creation, calling it "getting up early" and "as much as a spoonful". His comment on writing said: "The first art smells strange fragrance in the air, and when it comes to words, it is rich and ugly for a while, and it is enough to maintain the wind and change the customs. Second, reading like the moon, writing like the wind, losing the joy of marching. "
With the growth of age, Pu Songling, who is more and more ambitious, became a "Ying Zhongshe" together with his classmates and close friends Zhang (,) and Wang. Every time we get together, we will chant, sing and sing together, and the poems will be published in a book. The purpose is to learn from each other's strong points and complement each other's strong points to supplement the literary industry.
Since then, Pu Songling has been studying abroad. First go to the Shenjia in the west of the city to discuss "sharing lights" with Shen Run's son Ning Shaodao Shen Tianxiang (Yan He); In the spring of Kangxi's third year, at the invitation, he went to the Li family in the east of the city. During this period, Pu Songling did not change his study thought, although his brothers analyzed this change. In order to cherish time and study hard, he once accepted the advice of his nephew Zhao (now), who is also in the holiday museum, and wrote "Preface to Wake Up the World" as an incentive. Later, faced with the current situation of "living in three old houses on the farm without fences, small trees and chrysanthemum morifolium" after separation, especially the ailing wife, young son and embarrassed family, Pu Songling had to stop borrowing from the Li family against his will. In the fifth year of Kangxi, he attended classes in Wangcun Village in the west of the city and began his career as a teacher. This is his primary stage.
Youmu Baoying
In the autumn of the ninth year of Kangxi, Pu Songling was hired by Jinshi and Sun Hui (Bai Shu), the magistrate of Baoying County, Jiangsu Province, as a guest of Nanbaoying County Magistrate's Office to help with official documents. He rode south, entered Laiwu County from Qingshi in the southwest of Shen Yan Town (now Boshan District) in Yidu County, entered northern Jiangsu via Yizhou, crossed the Yellow River (from northern Jiangsu to the sea in the early Qing Dynasty), and finally reached Baoying.
Baoying is an ancient city in northern Jiangsu, which belongs to Yangzhou Municipal Government. Because it is located in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River and faces the Grand Canal, it is a waterway rush, so the official post station is heavily replenished; In the case of years of floods, land and villages were flooded, people were hungry and cold, and they were displaced. Sun Hui has been in this disaster city since the eighth year of Kangxi, and is in a difficult situation. Pu Songling's arrival really helped him a lot. The following spring, Sun Hui was transferred to Gaoyou state capital.
On behalf of Sun Hui, Matsuura drafted more than 90 manuscripts, such as "Opening Book" and "Proclamation", which mostly reflected the hardships of state and county officials, the difficult situation of being outstanding, the suffering of disaster areas and the sufferings of the people, and won a certain political discourse right for Sun Hui.
During the southern tour, the beautiful scenery along the way and the water towns in northern Jiangsu stimulated Pu Songling's enthusiasm for literary creation. He witnessed the sinister official career, the darkness of society and the tragic situation of the victims, which provided a deeper and broader life experience for his literary creation.
However, a person's dream of imperial examination is difficult to realize after all. He decided to resign and returned to the north in the early autumn of the tenth year of Kangxi.
Eight years of embarrassment
The seven or eight years after Pu Songling returned from his southern tour was the most difficult stage in his life. He thought that with his own intelligence, he could successfully pass the imperial examination and make great achievements, but he was deeply moved by the contrary. His poems include "Who can help the poor in the world", "Crying for Ruan Sizong's long journey" and "Who can play the leading role alone? It expresses his difficulties that his ambition is hard to be rewarded and not understood by the world, and reveals his lofty feelings of disdaining common customs and mediocrity and comparing himself with Yang Xiong, who has no talent.
During this period, he visited Qilu landscape with Zichuan literati leader and Tang, going to Laoshan in the east and Taitai in the south. However, he still makes a living by opening an account in a noble family such as the Wangs in Quanfeng Town.
The imperial examination is hopeless, and the ambition of Qingyun is difficult to achieve. However, disaster years are frequent and there is a lack of food to satisfy hunger. Pu Songling, a middle-aged man with a heavy burden, struggled on the steep slope of life.
Shezhangxipu
In the eighteenth year of Kangxi, Pu Songling, who had been "puzzled", was hired by Yi Bi's family to open a shop in the west of the city. Bi is a "noble family" of Zichuan IV Yipin. Bi (Bai Yang), the father of Guandong Bi (slaughtering chickens), was the minister of the Ministry of Finance in Chongzhen period of Ming Dynasty. Brigitte was known in Tongzhou, the former south of the Yangtze River. In the second year of Kangxi's reign, she went home, traveled all over the mountains and entertained herself with poetry and wine. He had many contacts and marriages with many famous families, such as Wang Shizhen and others, and also took part in climbing the knot when he was re-elected. Bi family is rich in financial resources, ranking first. In addition to Shangshufu, there are Chuo Ran Hall, Yizhen Pavilion, Fan Xiaotang and Wanjuan Building. After that, Yin Shi Garden 10 mu is square, with pavilions, bamboo and stone flowers and trees, and the scenery is pleasant.
Pu Songling is one of the eight disciples of Professor Gaby. I also work part-time as a large number of entertainment writers and attend cocktail parties, so I won trust. He has lived in harmony with employers of all ages for 30 years, and has also created a stable living environment for himself to study, take exams and write books.
