Mu Zeng is not only familiar with classics and history books, but also has a good literary accomplishment. He also attached great importance to and advocated China culture among Naxi families. He tried his best to hire mainland scholars to teach China culture to his children in Lijiang, or to send their children out to study and receive China culture education systematically, so that advanced China culture could be spread in the Naxi area of Lijiang. At the same time, the "Song Yu Academy" and "Wanjuan Building" were established in Lijiang, and various books were widely collected free of charge. According to Ganlong's "Lijiang Fu Zhi", "It is easy to read and recite, and it is very popular. There are thousands of buildings at home. I sang a lot with Yang Shen and Zhang Han. " In order to learn China culture better, Mu Zeng spent a lot of money to build a three-story earth building on the left side of his residence, and at the expense of his work, he bought a large number of books from the mainland and put them in the three-story building.
"There are tens of thousands of rare books of ancient books in Song and Ming Dynasties in the building, and group books can also be prepared." Becoming a veritable "Wanjuan Building", Mu once wrote the poem "Searching Books"; "Wanjuan is as muddy as a shelf, and the quinoa kiosk is full of clouds", which vividly depicts the richness of the collection of books in Wanjuan Building.
And this leafy scroll building is also the main place and cultural enjoyment for the Mu family to inherit classics, teach subjects, make friends with songs and learn from each other's strengths. Although the present buildings have been destroyed and books have been lost, there are still sporadic books scattered among the people, with the words "Ten Thousand Volumes of Lou Ji" printed on them. Mu Zeng not only built his own library to collect books, but also built special Buddhist scriptures pavilions in many temples. According to historical records, there were many temples in Lijiang in the Qing Dynasty. These temples and Taoist temples all have Tibetan Classrooms, which contain a considerable number of scriptures. For example, Huayan Temple in Jizu Mountain, at the request of Mu Zeng, Ming Xizong hid Buddhist scriptures here and named this temple "Zhuguositan Temple". Yongsheng Lingyuan Temple Kannongji Tibetan Scripture Building also has a considerable collection of ancient books. During his retreat from Censhan Jiefang Temple to concentrate on reading and writing, Mu Zeng also reprinted a volume of "Compassionate Emperor Liang Zibai" and stored it in the temple. Some of these scriptures are still hidden in Lijiang County Library. These scrolls have been preserved to this day, which is inseparable from Mu Zeng's lifelong love of books and his dedication to Buddhism. While advocating learning Chinese culture, in order to preserve and spread books and classics, he hired Tibetan monks to compile and print the Tibetan Buddhist Classic Tripitaka in Lijiang in the 42nd year of Wanli (16 14), which lasted nine years and was carved into 65438+ in the third year of the apocalypse (1623). This is the first official Ganjul engraving in Tibetan area, and it is one of the precious cultural relics of Jokhang Temple.
