Idea And Behavior

the Scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty especially Daoist represented the style of the era that combined knowledge-action and Applied what they learned into the practice and advocated academic and government affairs simultaneously. Huang Gan was the typical representative of the zhu's successors in the Song Dynasty. The living of the scholar-officials was one part of his liveing. his chosing Taoism as a lifelong pursuiting was many reasons, but the main was his background and fate decisions, the Neo-Confucianist was flourished in the Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi was located in Fujian where become the important place where the Neo-Confucianist was spreaded. In this atmosphere Huang Gan naturally began to accept the Neo-Confucianist,, and became the most loyal disciples of Zhu Xi.The pursuit of moral in Southern Song Dynasty had affected the pursuit of value. Huan Gan was one of the main disciples and inheritors of Zhu-xi, his thoughts and growth was influenced by Zhu-xi. he had good relationship with Zhu-xi. Zhu Xi selected Huang Gan inherited his theory and taked care of his children, while Huang Gan spreaded and practiceed Zhu-xi's thought loyally. Huang Gan wrote a large number of writings. He established the status of Zhu Xi's Confucian orthodoxy by Total Narrative on Sage Orthodoxy Teaching,and wrote Zhu xi's life and practice, which described Zhu xi's knowledge and the experience of life in politics, and compiled General Solution on Ritual Confucian canon, which Zhu Xi had leaved with the high expectations.the Neo-Confucianist ideal life of Huang Gan is represented by the inscription and brief biographical sketch intensively.Huang Gan paied the compliments to the people who engaged in the Neo-Confucianism and aimed at study of Xing Li and treated their parents and friends with filial respect and observed the rules of Confucianism and seeked the path to sages and men of virtue. As the local officials and Daoist the court verdict and the letter to his superior to which Huang Gan wrote presented the application of Zhuzi-School(朱子学),which could be better know the phsical world of Huang Gan. Watching "the judgment reason" of Huan Gan, we would find he according to " moral reasoning " firstly, then to laws, and he often did a lot of" doctrine "(义理) to sermon in written judgment. Huang Gan devoted himself to change custom. On the one hand, he persuaded people to lessen lawsuit, and advocated filial piety and regarded the ethics of Confucian on the other hand. He wanted to change unreasonable and unfilial behaviour, and Put forward tougher requirements to the Scholar-officials than ordinary people. Although as a magistrate, out of the central government operation system, Gan Huang wasn't indifferent to the country's political situation and its trend. In the letter to his acquaintance, he often criticized current politics and situation and expressed his own political views. He hoped that through "understand the doctrine (明义理), try to make the man's heart more nice(正人心)" could change their State of Flux situation.He regarded "strong state and get away" as to "make main aspects see, the Chinese nation's sense of honor, get rid of private thinking, to receive talents". He didn't fear hostilities and transported feed for their army when working under Lie Wu. He was committed to building the city wall and developing the economy and ensuring supply when he become the chief magistrate of Anqing State. His dual identity of a moralist and a local official decided that Gan Huang's philosophy of the government-funded is "for the people". In the actual, Gan Huang always obeyed public opinion and questioned the authority of the most powerful during his official career.We can find that Gan Huang has more outstanding performance in cause and contribution when we make a comprehensive survey of his official career. He was loyal to their duties in Shimen Adega. He dealt with litigation and relief and hold down the rice prices in Linchuan county. He dealt with litigation and transportation in Xingan county. He devoted himslef to social relief against drought and would rather plead on people's behalf to his official position in Hanyang county. He organized people as militia and keep the border town in Anqing state. He propagandized neo-confucianism in the local county school and the army school, built Confucian temples, paid attention to the academy lecture, and spread the "Jie moment" path of Shecang, and so on.As the most loyal student of Zhu Zi, Gan Huang regards promulgating Zhuzi-School as his responsibility and obligation all the time. No matter as an official or scholar-bureaucrat,he devotes himself to promulgating Zhuzi-School and extending its influence. Going to the different places being an official offers much advantage to promulgate Zhuzi-School in many places. Gan Huang promulgates Zhuzi-School in many places by going to be an official of these places. Differ from the ordinary scholar-bureaucrat, the scholar-bureaucrat of the theory Dao pay much attention to the relationship of inheriting the unfulfilled of their teachers and regarding Zhu Zi as their model to learn forever, They come into being a common technicality group, based on the relationship of teachers and students, linking together because of the same theory. They recommend and help each other, and talk to each other and correct the theory to the idea of Zhu Zi.the recognition to Zhuzi-School was out of inner identity of Huang gan, which came into his conflict between the scholar and the official. Buring his government service,He applied Zhuzi-school to practice, concerned for the country and his people.With the cynical outlook, let us see the positive significance of Zhuzi-School at that time. The relationship between Huang gan and Zhu Xi let us see that the spread of an idea not only benefit from their official support and the idea of charm, but also from a number of the students who willing to spread this idea.
