Tan Tao Gong Xuan's calligraphy, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Six Dynasties, learned everything. Every time you come to a monument, you need to work thousands of times. His diligence in the pool has never stopped since he was a child, and he is still hot and cold for the next year. The brushwork is vigorous and magnificent, and people who ask for books are in an endless stream. Weng Tonghe was deeply moved by his calligraphy and sent someone to invite him with a calligraphy. The letter said: "There is no need for formal ceremony. We will meet each other in light clothes and hats." Liang Qichao attached great importance to his Shu Wei. Suzhou Hanshan Temple's inscription "Hanshan Picked Up" is its handwriting, which is still appreciated by tourists. The word "Bai Wan" written on the cliff at Yichang Mouth in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is as big as a desktop and vigorous in brushwork. The calligraphy and paintings hanging in the Forbidden City in Shenyang also have calligraphy inscriptions. He wrote the lettering of silver, bronze and copper coins in Guangxu Bao Tong in Qing Dynasty. When I was in Guangdong, I met many overseas Chinese and revolutionaries and sympathized with the revolution all my life. Wen was filled with indignation when he saw that he was killed. He wrote a thousand words to plead for Qiu Jin, and the manuscript is now in Zhejiang Library. In the 22nd year of Guangxu (1896), Tao Junxuan took a fancy to the residual water in the half of Ruoshan Mountain with his unique eyes. He took out the salary of being an official for several years and the money earned by Tao Zaikuan, Tao Zaiming and others, and * * * raised 8000 yuan for the family of Yin and Yang to build a dike along the ancient canal at the northern foot of Ruoshan Mountain. On the basis of retaining the unique scenic spots such as Taogong Cave and Xiantao Cave left by predecessors, he also skillfully constructed pavilions such as Jishou Tower, sailing boat, listening pavilion, drinking pavilion and Jixiang Pavilion, as well as beams with different shapes such as Xia Chuan Bridge, Qinqiao Bridge and Wanliu Bridge, and just built architectural sketches such as rockeries. There is a Lingshi Pavilion in the south of Qinqiao, and the column of the pavilion is engraved with the couplet of Tao Junxuan's Taibai Poems: "Jiang Kong wants to listen to narcissus, and the wall stands straight on Penglai Peak." Reminiscent of Lujitang's "Eight States Yan Shize, Five Liuzhen Family Sounds", Dongmen's "He sometimes plants willows around his thatched cottage, and the mountains are secluded", and Taoyuan Gate's "steep cliff" is a big axe painting at this time; Like many couplets and stone carvings in East Lake, a fishing boat is like a picture of a small peach blossom garden, revealing Tao Junxuan's aversion to official life and secular things, deliberately turning East Lake into a paradise and continuing the seclusion of his predecessor Tao Yuanming.
In fact, Tao Junxuan, a reformer in the cave, did not live in East Lake as a hermit or hermit. While building the East Lake, he organized a new school. In the 25th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1899), Tao Jun announced that the Donghu School, where his nephew Tao taught in his early years, would be changed into Donghu School, with four subjects (departments and majors) of history, mathematics, calculation and translation, and invited Sun, Chen Wei, Shou, Chen Xieshu and Zhou Zuoren to feast their eyes. Zhu Kezhen, Liu Dabai, Chen Yi and Chen Pengnian all studied here in their early years, and later they all became outstanding people in our country.
Later, Donghu Law School and Donghu Hospital were established, and a pottery memorial hall, the pottery house, was built for future generations to pay tribute to.
/kloc-in the autumn of 0/933, Tao, a student of Donghu School, went to Beijing to visit his teacher Zhou Zuoren. During the dinner, Zhou offered an impromptu flag and said, "There is a mountain ten miles outside Dongguo Gate, which is the former site of Shidang. Water and rocks are strange and steep, like roaring mountains. Mr. Tao cultivated it, called it East Lake, and established a general art school. In the first eight years of the Republic of China, he undertook the task of teaching English, and spent two months reading the moon as a sojourner, so he won all the victories. He wrote a few short poems and recorded them. This manuscript is gone, but he recorded the following words:' The rock pigeon turns over the night wind and the fish jumps into the pool', and he also said:' It will rain in Bai Furong in a few days'. Thirty years later, I miss the past and have a dream. I wrote these lines as a gift to my brother Ji Min and wanted to feel the past and the present together. " The highlight of Tao Junxuan's life is what he did after the "Autumn Case" in the summer of 1907. Under the situation that the Qing court was preparing for constitutionalism, Zhejiang Governor Zhang Zengyi and Shaoxing magistrate Gui Fu "enforced the law on the spot" against Qiu Jin, a female revolutionary who had not accepted the case, which caused an uproar in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Civil public opinion insists on taking the spirit of constitutionalism as the ideological weapon, attacking the actions of Zhejiang and Shaoxing officials in handling the "autumn case", which makes them unable to cope with it, so that people like Gui Fu are ruined. And its initiator and powerful promoter is Tao Junxuan. Shortly after the "Autumn Case", Tao Jun published about 5,000 articles "Refuting Zhejiang Fu Zhijun's Ministry Electricity" in the name and manner of "Shaoxing Hejun County gentry, businessmen and scholars". According to the eight main contents of the telegram sent by Zhang Zengyi, the governor of Zhejiang Province, to the military department, that is, "the bandit leader in Wuyi County of Jinhua Prefecture has been obtained, and the confession is caused by the collusion of Datong students"; "According to your task in Shaoxing, Datong Xuetong Department is run by Xu Xilin, an anti-bandit, and consulted with Du Jiang and Wan Fu to copy Xu Fei's confession. The plot is slightly the same. Come to Hangzhou on a starry night to discuss everything and send two standing armies to Shao to investigate with you "; "According to the secret report of few gentlemen, female teachers of Datong Sports Association, such as Qiu Jin, Lv Hongmao, Zhu Shaokang, etc. , is planning to launch an uprising around June 10 "; "Zhu Shi, the leader of the Party, heard that more than 10,000 people from Shengxian County had gathered in the county to take the opportunity to start an uprising"; "Gui Shou led the army on the evening of the fourth day and went to Datong School and Shengxian Public Security Bureau to search"; "The bandits dared to shoot and resist arrest, and the soldiers immediately shot back, killing several bandits and winning Qiu Jin and other bandits 10 people"; "Thirty rifles and thousands of bullets were fired"; "According to Qiu Jin's confession, there is evidence of personal disobedience, and the bandit party Cheng Yi also confessed that Qiu Jin was the head and the rest were coerced", and so on, thus publicly declaring: "None of the proofs can be established, that is, no one is guilty. Guns of the Futong Sect, which have been officially recorded, shall not be used for arms possession; Students can't be bandits unless they shoot and resist arrest. Those who were shot by two students were killed by mistake, and those who were injured and detained by more than ten people were wrongly sentenced to jail. Qiu Jin didn't shoot, and there was no evidence or confession. In order to advocate women's education, he was ruined and miserable. " Tao Junxuan was originally a member of the same camp of the Qing government. He dared to bluntly criticize Zhang Zengqi and Gui Fu for "ignoring human life" and "undermining constitutionalism" in the Qing court massacre. This is very commendable, which fully reflects his sympathy and support for Qiu Jin and other revolutionaries and even the Revolution of 1911 led by Sun Yat-sen (Mr. Tao Yongming, the eldest son of Tao, said that he was also a member of the Guangfu Association), and fully shows his courage and support. Similarly, Tao Junsheng declared that "it was a martyr of Tao" before he was born, and Tao was very grateful to him for "cultivating the grace of asylum". In his letter, he said, "When students make a little progress in the future, they will come to work again." After Tao was assassinated, Shaoxing people thought that he "died for the revolution" and "was glorious enough to last forever", so they built the "Taogong Temple" (Taoshe) in the East Lake built in Zi Xuan. From Tao Junxuan's attitude towards Qiu Jin, Tao and other revolutionaries, it can be clearly seen that he had left the camp of the Qing government in the middle and old age, and he was a national sage who kept pace with the times.
