1. The Tomb of Zhang Wenzheng
"Feng Junzi, why are you staring at a tombstone? This is not a historical site!"
"This tombstone is very special. Lin Zhenzhen, come and take a look. You see, there is a couplet engraved on the tombstone."
The girl named Lin Zhenzhen came over curiously after hearing Feng Junzi say this, looking at the tombstone and said, "The pine wind was open during his lifetime, and the bright moon blocked the river behind him, and Zhang Wenzheng's tomb."
Feng Junzi: "How is it? It's interesting."
Lin Zhenzhen said a little disapprovingly: "People are dead, and of course everyone is willing to say a few good things. This is also the long-term love of human beings. However, the two sentences of 'The pine wind is open and the bright moon blocks the river' seem to be a bit over. Only a real gentleman can be worthy of this evaluation. I think Zhang Wenzheng simply learns from you and change his name to Zhang Junzi."
Feng Junzi shook his hand at Lin Zhenzhen and said, "Don't speak like this in the cemetery, you should respect the dead."
Lin Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "I don't disrespect anyone. Look at this couplet, it means that after a person dies, then Zhang Wenzheng is better than Zhang Junzi."
Feng Junzi: "You are wrong again. The word 'Wenzheng' is not simple for Chinese people, especially for dead people. It is a very beautiful title. Zhang Wenzheng is much better than Zhang Junzi."
Lin Zhenzhen: "I seem to know this. After Zeng Guofan's death, he was posthumously named Wen Zheng. It is said that the one Chiang Kai-shek admired the most was this Zeng Wen Zheng Gong."
Feng Junzi gave Lin Zhenzhen a blank look: "You know this, it's better to see from the movie. Wen Zheng's posthumous title was not given casually. There were only eight ministers in the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, including Zeng Guofan and Zhu Gui."
Lin Zhenzhen: "I know Zhu Gui, too."
Feng Junzi: "It's also seen from the TV series that I have had many dramas with Shen recently, and Zhu Gui is famous for being famous. Do you know what Wen Zheng means?"
Lin Zhenzhen: "Wen should be an example of civil officials, and should be honest, right?"
Feng Junzi: "You are still graduating from Peking University's Chinese Department. I don't know if the students are not doing their jobs or the teachers are misleading their children. After studying for so many years, I have learned the meaning of "Wenwen"."
Lin Zhenzhen was a little unhappy when Feng Junzi said it, and asked back: "What do you mean?"
Feng Junzi: "Writing refers to the world of heaven and earth, morality is well-known, and it refers to the internal and external guest service. Since ancient times, only virtuous and famous officials will receive this posthumous title after their death."
Lin Zhenzhen: "Who are there?"
Feng Junzi: "I just said you know, Fan Zhongyan and Sima Guang were there in the Song Dynasty."
Lin Zhenzhen: "Then Zhang Wenzheng's parents must be very interesting. They actually named their son Wenzheng. Maybe he changed it himself. Feng Junzi, you can learn it from others and change it to Feng Wenzheng."
Feng Junzi glared at Lin Zhenzhen again: "This time I advised me to change my name again. Is the name change casually? Besides, I can't afford to say the word Wen Zheng."
Lin Zhenzhen: "You are also humble, so start to be a good person from now on. After you die, I will mobilize everyone to give you a posthumous title of Wen Zheng."
Feng Junzi: "Thank you so much. Not everyone has a posthumous title. Only officials of third rank or above in the Tang Dynasty had posthumous titles. According to current levels, they are at least officials at the ministerial level or above. It seems that I have to become an official first."
Lin Zhenzhen was unwilling to get further and further with him, pointing to the tombstone and said, "This man called himself Wen Zheng before his lifetime. If he didn't seek fame, then he would be as open as the pine wind and bright moon as mentioned on the tombstone."
