Former residence of Wang Yun
The former residence of Wang Yun's former residence is called Xiangqi Building. The earliest Xiangqi Building had no buildings, only a few bungalows. In the 14th year of Guangxu, Wang Yun returned from Zunxue in Chengdu and bought 50 mu of land with his accumulated annual salary and salary. Two years later, he built a house here and lived by himself. Later, in 190 1 year, because Wang Yun was deeply loved by his students, the successful students raised funds together to rebuild the famous "Mountain Building" Xiangqi Building for his master Wang Yun. Xiangqi Mansion was designed by Wang Yun himself and built under his supervision. Wang Yun's hard work has been condensed.
Xiangqi Building, Wang Yun's former residence, is a group building, facing south, with a superior geographical position. It is 70 meters long from north to south and 20 meters wide, covering an area of about 1.700 square meters. There are many small gardens in Xiangqi Building, all of which are exquisite and beautiful. In front of the township enterprise building, there is a pond called lotus pond. There are many lotus flowers and turtles in the lotus pond, which are full of vitality.
Xiangqi building is divided into three rooms, with many guest rooms, study rooms and so on. It is very spectacular. But after Wang Yun's death, his descendants went out one by one, leaving the house unattended. Later it was sold to Zhou and turned into a farm. Later, it gradually damaged. At 1958, the whole building became flat and vegetable fields, leaving only the last old wall.
Wang Yun's life and achievements Wang Yun's life and achievements: Wang Yun's ancestors moved from Jiangxi to Xixiang, Hengyang, Hunan Province in the Ming Dynasty. After living for several generations, they moved outside Xiangtan. Wang Yun was born in the 13th year of Daoguang. He became an orphan in his teens and was raised by his uncle. Wang Yun was a dull boy, but he was very studious.

Wang Yun came to Chengdu at the invitation of Sichuan Governor Ding Baozhen. He is the head of Zunjing Academy. He always cares about students and is strict with them. Wang Yun keeps a diary every day and has some class papers every month. Liao Ping, Dai Guang and other outstanding talents come from other families. Wang Yun traveled to and from Hunan and successively presided over the Sixian Lecture Hall in Changsha and the Chuanshan Academy in Hengzhou. In the twenty-eighth year of Guangxu, Wang Yun presided over a college in Nanchang, but was dismissed soon after, and returned to Hunan to give lectures as an apprentice in Xiangqi Building. His achievement is that there are thousands of disciples before and after, and he has the reputation of being the first disciple in the world, which makes people admire.
Wang Yun's achievement in Confucian classics is to make future generations understand and feel more gratified. His works and words are like Wang Yang's, which is quite similar to Zhuangzi's prose style. Wang Yun's research method had a certain influence on establishing a correct style of study at that time.
Among Wang Yun's historical achievements, the most proud historical works were written at the request of the time, reflecting the complete history of the Xiang Army. The name of the work is called it. In order to write this book, in addition to his personal experience and visiting word of mouth, he also managed to borrow a lot of military archives and asked someone to make a map, which took seven years to complete.
Wang Yun and Zeng Guofan are both from Hunan. As early as Zeng Guofan returned to his hometown to do Yong ying, the two had contacts. In the autumn of Xianfeng eight years, Zeng Guofan was stationed in Jianchang, Jiangxi. Soon, Xiang was defeated in sanhe town. In December, Wang Yun arrived at Jianchang and stayed for five days. Zeng Guofan also "talked all night". At that time, the negotiation situation was very bleak, so Wang Yun and Zeng Guofan were a pair of friends in need.

Xianfeng ten years in April, when the battlefield situation changed subtly, Zeng Guofan hoped to win the war. As soon as Wang Yun saw that Zeng Guofan was in power, he wanted to find Zeng Guofan and give him advice as a promotion.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan's shogunate was full of talents, and it was said that there were outstanding talents such as "three saints and seven sages". At that time, Zeng Guofan tried to recruit talents from all walks of life in order to defeat the Taiping Army. But for Wang Yun, who is outstanding in literary talent, he stayed in Zeng Guofan's camp for several months, but he did not see Zeng Guofan give him some power to appoint him. In the end, Wang Yun had to be disgruntled.
In fact, Zeng Guofan's final refusal to appoint Wang Yun, who pleaded with him many times, may have profound reasons. Later, it was discovered that Wang Yun, who was conceited of his talents, liked to talk big and persuaded Zeng Guofan, the governor of Liangjiang at that time, to rise up and rebel. Of course, this kind of private talk is definitely not recorded in the official history, but it often appears in the narrative of the Republic of China.
Du, a native of Yunyang, was originally named Cheng Jun, and later renamed Du, nicknamed Tiger Gong and Tiger Zen. Yang Du was one of the many figures who opposed Confucianism in the late Qing Dynasty. Yang Du is a native of Jiangshe Shitang Village, Xiangtan County, Hunan Province. During the Reform Movement of 1898, he accepted the reform ideas of Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao and opposed imperialism. Yang Du pointed out at that time that China must legally eliminate all kinds of privileges existing in the family. There is a direct relationship of rights and obligations between the state and the people. The state has attached "the law of teaching" and "the law of education". For the people, the state should give our people "freedom of business, residence and speech", and at the same time, the people should bear their own responsibilities for the country.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Yang Du began to oppose * * * and revolution, so he took part in the restoration activities presided over by Yuan Shikai. However, his theory of saving the nation by constitutional monarchy ran into a wall everywhere in practice and eventually went bankrupt completely. After the May 4th Movement, the revolutionary movement of workers and peasants made him see the hope of China's future. So he has been in contact with these producers of Li Dazhao for a long time, and his world outlook has also undergone fundamental changes. Later, he applied to join the China Production Party and did a lot of useful work for it.
Wang Yun is his mentor, and Yang is also Yun's teacher and friend. In Wang Yun's view, Yang Du, a master, is obsessed with books, and sometimes he doesn't know the time when he reads. Yang Du became a scholar at the age of thirteen. He was brilliant and admired Wang Yun for a long time, so he learned from him at that time. It was Wang Yun's childhood that laid the foundation for his later revolutionary road and advanced thought.
Yang Du and Wang Yun both made their own contributions to China's revolutionary road, which is worthy of respect from future generations. The teacher-student relationship between Yang Du and Wang Yun is talked about by later generations.
Wang Yunqi Baishi Wang Yun, whose name is Renqiu, Renfu and Xiangqi, is honored as Xiangqi's old man. He is from Tangwan, Qiao Shan, Zhongyun Lake, Xiangtan County, Hunan Province. Xianfeng juren in the second year. He was once employed by Su Shun, Minister of Xianfeng, and was very honored. His protege has many celebrities. Among them, Qi Baishi is one of Wang Yun's more accomplished disciples.

Qi Baishi, a native of Changsha, Hunan, is also a native of Xiangtan. Qi Baishi's original name is Chunzhi, and his name is Lanting. Later, it was renamed Huang, and the word was imminent. It was named Baishi and Baishishan Weng. He is a famous modern painting master in China and a world cultural celebrity.
Qi Baishi first met Wang Yun in the 25th year of Guangxu, that is, 1899. In the first month of that year, recommended by Zhang Dengshou, a friend of Longshan Poetry Club, he was able to visit Mr. Wang in Xiangtan County. Later, because they hit it off, and Qi Baishi really admired Wang Yun's level of poetry and painting, Qi Baishi often studied poetry under Wang Yun's door and got Wang Yun's guidance, which was a great progress in his study. Wang Yun also introduced Qi Baishi to Tan, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and visited his home to observe epigraphy and calligraphy. Besides, Qi Baishi often travels to many different places with Wang Yun, so he meets some other powerful celebrities and broadens his life and artistic horizons.
Wang Yun cherishes his apprentice Qi Baishi and often takes him to study and improve him. Qi Baishi's fame at that time was actually not great. Wang Yun invited Qi Baishi to dinner many times. The real purpose is to let Qi Baishi paint, let his apprentice's paintings be appreciated by more people, and improve his apprentice's popularity. They are also teachers and friends, and they communicate and discuss with each other and get along well.
Wang Yun and Imperial Examination Wang Yun and Imperial Examination are actually "the politicization of Confucian classics", which contains many factors that can be connected with modern values. Most importantly, Wang Yun's study of emperors jumped out of "all pedagogy" in Neo-Confucianism of Song and Ming Dynasties and broke through the old framework. His imperial studies hope that hundreds of millions of people will raise their awareness and make them understand that it is very dangerous to be Yao and Shun, and Yao and Shun are just a kind of political science that some politicians need to learn.

According to Wang Yun's Imperial Learning, although Western learning was the mainstream of the world at that time, it could not solve the problem of China if it could not be combined with our traditional politics and wisdom in China. A wise man appeared in which generation, who was able to deeply study our traditional political wisdom in China, and then combined with the international trend at that time, and then summed up a set of valuable theories to solve the problem of China.
The "monarchy" may be a bit mysterious. Generally speaking, it is not to find an "extraordinary person" in troubled times to help him achieve the emperor's hegemony. Wang Yun has experienced Su Shun, Zeng Guofan, Yuan Shikai and other so-called "strange people" in his life, and has certain support on them. Is this what he thinks of as "the study of emperors"?
In fact, the study of emperors expressed by Wang Yun mainly hopes to transform the study of Confucian classics with the idea of "applying the world to practice" and then apply it to current politics. Specifically, Wang Yun's theory of emperors was to bring order out of chaos in troubled times at that time, to seek prosperity in troubled times, and to turn the society at that time into "ruling the world" with kingly way.
