Brief introduction to Wen Tianxiang's story

When Wen Tianxiang was a child, he worshipped heroes, especially reading biographies of loyal ministers. One day, he came to Gong Xue, Jizhou, to pay tribute to the portraits of the sages. He saw Ouyang Xiu, Yang Bang Wa and Hu Quan's portraits displayed solemnly in Jizhou, which made him admire deeply. These brave people are all locals. What they can do, Wen Tianxiang thinks he will do it.

2, strict father mentor

Wen Tianxiang's father, Wen Yi, is a scholar and has never been an official. He loves books like a life. As long as there is a book in his hand, he forgets to eat and sleep, and often sits there alone with a lamp and studies hard all night. It was twilight, and I stood under the eaves reading the fine print. However, his knowledge is very profound, and he has thoroughly studied hundreds of classics and history, and even extensively dabbled in astronomy, geography, Chinese medicine and divination books.

He also has a hobby of buying books. Sometimes he has no money. Even if he pawned his clothes, he would buy books. He is full of sympathy for the industrious village and has the ambition to make up for the world by reading. He wrote 30 volumes of treasures and 20 volumes of random records. Wen Tianxiang's style of writing is outstanding, and his father's literary education really contributed.

3. Enlighten the nation and save the nation

Wen Tianxiang is a great national hero in the history of China. He was originally a civil servant, but in order to oppose foreign aggression and defend the country, he bravely went to the battlefield. At that time, Meng Yuan sent troops to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty. When Wen Tianxiang heard the news, he took out his own property, recruited 30,000 able-bodied men, formed a rebel army, fought against Yuan and saved the country. Someone said, "With so many Yuan soldiers, how can you resist?" ?

Don't tigers and sheep fight each other? "Wen Tianxiang said:" The country is in trouble and there is no one to rescue it, which is my greatest distress. Although my strength is thin, I will try my best for my country! "Later, the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty surrendered to the Yuan Army, and Wen Tianxiang still insisted on the war of resistance. He said to everyone, "saving the country is like saving your parents." Parents are sick, even if it is difficult to treat, the son should try his best to save them! "Later defeat captured, refused to surrender.

He also wrote a famous poem: "Since ancient times, no one has died in life, so care with your heart and shine on history." Show the determination to stick to national integrity until death. He refused the repeated persuasion of the Yuan Dynasty, and finally realized the ideal of sacrificing his life for righteousness and died generously. Over the years, Wen Tianxiang's patriotic spirit has been handed down from generation to generation and has become the spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation.

4. Get up and be diligent

In the tenth year of Xianchun (1274), he died of illness in July. Jia Sidao restrained the growth of his children and helped four-year-old Zhao Xian succeed to the throne, namely Song Gongdi. In September, Prime Minister Bo Yan led two hundred thousand Mongolian fighters to attack the Southern Song Dynasty in two ways. Huaixi made Xia Gui flee without fighting; However, Jiang Wanzai, who resigned for more than ten years, resolutely ignored the opposition of the imperial court and resolutely organized the rebel army to resist the Mongolian yuan. In December, Ezhou fell and Cheng Pengfei surrendered.

When the soldiers were besieged, Song Jun officials all over the country defected. Huangzhou, qi zhou (now south of Qichun, Hubei), Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi), De 'an (now Anlu, Hubei), Lu 'an and other places fell one after another, and the Southern Song Dynasty was defeated. After Song Gongdi acceded to the throne, Mongolia was trapped in Ezhou, and the capital was shaken. Xie Daoqing, Li Zong's wife, wrote a letter of condolence, telling the story of his young stepfather, his old age, the sufferings of people's livelihood and the country's peril.

I hope that the civil servants, military commanders and heroes all over the country are in urgent need of the royal family and share the same enemy, and the court will not hesitate to reward them with meritorious deeds and honors. I don't know why most officials have reservations. Only Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie responded to "a letter of mourning", called the military forces and soldiers, and set out for him. Song Ting was in danger, so he had to admit the legal status of Jiang Wanzai's rebel army and always resisted the Yuan Dynasty.

Step 5 condemn surrender

After the emperor surrendered, General Lu Shimeng sarcastically asked Wen Tianxiang, "The Prime Minister once wrote a letter asking Lu Shimeng to kill the apostate. Why don't you kill me? " ? Wen Tianxiang rudely reprimanded him: Your uncles and nephews all surrendered, but they didn't kill you. This is the punishment of this dynasty. You live a shameless life. What's your face? You took refuge in the enemy, it was easy to kill me, but it made me a loyal minister of DaSong. What am I afraid of?

Hearing this, Lv Shimeng admired Wen Tianxiang's spirit and said, "What a scolding!"
