Qi Junzao (1793— 1866), whose real name is Chunpu and Chunfu, is the fifth son of Qi Yun's poems. 18 14 was a scholar, 182 1 was a scholar in the south study room, and later became an official in the Ministry of Commerce, minister of military aircraft and university teaching assistant. 1849 as a master of upper learning. After Xianfeng acceded to the throne, he became a college student in Tijen Pavilion, awarded the title of Prince Taibao and served as a lecturer. After emperor Tongzhi 186 1 ascended the throne, he was appointed as one of the four great masters of the young emperor. It can be said that Dao Xian was a senior minister in the same three dynasties. After he died, he died. Qi Jun was praised by people at that time for being a man, being an official and being pragmatic. "Essays on Song Selections" records: "Shouyang's national character is pure as jade, and its heart is more harmonious than spring. He learned to be knowledgeable but not arrogant, and he was rich but not exposed. He will praise people's kindness. The rest is tolerant and covered with the wind of ancient ministers. " During the Opium War, Qi Junzao supported Lin Zexu's main battle to ban smoking, and visited Fujian coastal defense to ban smoking with Huang Juezi. He disagreed with Zhang Mu, the powerful minister, and later disagreed with Su Shun, opposing Su Shun's "casting big money". He resigned many times because of frustration, and was also the leader of poetry and the backbone of calligraphy. At that time, he was quite popular among scholars.
Academically, although Qi Junzao did not abolish textual research, he paid more attention to adhering to his father's purpose of "running the world". He has many government affairs and has no time to study and specialize in the history and geography of northwest China. However, he is still in close contact with the famous scholars of frontier history and geography, and has widely published works on frontier history, which has effectively promoted the development of this new academic trend of thought. His father, Qi Yunshi's representative works, such as Fan Bu Lue, A Picture of the Western Regions and A Lue of the Western Regions, were published after he specially asked Zhang Mu and others to revise them one by one, and they were widely circulated internationally. Before collating Qi Yunshi's works, Zhang Mu did some research on the history and geography of northwest China, but he did not make outstanding achievements. He later became one of the most outstanding frontier historians in Daoxian period, which was inseparable from Qi Junzao's inspiration and encouragement. His masterpiece "Mongolian Nomads" is the most detailed Mongolian geography work in Qing Dynasty. But the original creative idea of this book was born in the process of sorting out the book Francisco. Because he found that Francisco was more detailed than Chronicle and shorter than Local Records, he decided to make up for its shortcomings. After the completion of Tales of Mongolian Nomads, Qi Junzao made an important contribution to the spread of this masterpiece with his eye for fine works. In the preface, he praised the book as "detailed and well-organized, cited without pollution, carefully revised without floating, well-founded", and especially appreciated its academic spirit of combining practical experience with textual research, current affairs with ancient meanings. He wrote: "There are many knowledgeable and talented people at home. But his immortal works have two endings: Chen Guyi's book is more expensive than seeking truth from facts; A book about current events is more expensive than practical. You can't have it both ways. Zhang Zishi's Mongolian Nomads is unique. " It is not difficult for modern people to see qi from here. Zhao's academic purport at that time and the realistic transformation of Jia Dao's style of study during the transformation period.
After the Opium War, scholars paid more attention to the study of world historical geography, especially the study of western and Russian historical geography, which was directly related to the invasion of China by western powers and Russia, and was also a natural continuation of the previous study of historical geography in northwest China. For the academic development of these two aspects, Qi? Algae gave support. 1858, after the completion of He's masterpiece "North Ring Compilation", Xianfeng gave him the title of "North House and North City", which was prefaced by Qi Junzao and greatly appreciated. He praised him for describing letters with evidence, seeking knowledge but not miscellaneous, and distinguishing right from wrong. It can be called a masterpiece of history and geography, which is practical and realistic, and can be studied to the end to understand the past and the present. He even thinks that the book is "just a corner of the north, but its evaluation is better than that of Wei (source) Xu (following her) and no less than that of the latter". This statement may inevitably be arrogant, but it is in a pivotal position and advocates the positive modality of frontier history and geography research.
