Feng Menglong was born in the second year of Wanli in the late Ming Dynasty (1574) and died in 1646. When he was born, he was born in the western part of the world during the Renaissance, echoing it from afar. In our big eastern country with thousands of years of civilization, there are also many deviant thinkers and artists. Li Zhuowu, Tang Xianzu, Yuan Hongdao and many other literati wrote brilliant chapters in the history of China's thought and literature with their shocking opinions, distinctive personality characteristics and outstanding artistic achievements. Wang Longwu of the Tang Dynasty in the Southern Ming Dynasty was two years old, that is, Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty was three years old, at the age of 73. Around this year, many successful writers appeared, such as Ling Mengchu (1644), Hou Tongzeng, Huang Daozhou, Wu, Xia, Qi Biaojia, Liu (1645), Ruan Dalong and Wang Siren (1646). A Chinese Renaissance in the embryonic stage of capitalism died under the iron hoof of foreign invasion.
Feng Menglong was born in Changzhou (now Suzhou), Wuxian County, Suzhou Prefecture, South Zhili. Born in 1574 (the second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty), he was born in a noble family. His elder brother (Feng Menggui) and his elder brother (Feng Mengxiong) are called "Wu Xia San Shi". My brother Meng Gui is a painter and my brother Meng Xiong is a student. His works have been passed down to this day. In addition to writing poems, Feng Menglong mainly writes historical novels and romantic novels. His own poetry collection no longer exists, but fortunately, 30 works compiled by him have been handed down from generation to generation, leaving a group of immortal treasures for China's cultural treasure house. In addition to the well-known Sanyan, there are New Biography, Supplementary Biography of Three Demons in Suiping, Romance of Ancient and Modern Martyrs, Guangxiaofu, Ancient and Modern Tan Gui, Think Tank, Ancient and Modern Tan Gui, Taiping Guangji Chao, Love History and Legend of Mo Hanzhai.
There are so many works in his life, which are closely related to his own interests and talents as well as his life experiences.
Feng Menglong has been a good scholar since he was a child. His childhood and youth, like many literati in feudal society, focused on reading Confucian classics and preparing for imperial examinations. He once recalled in "Fa Fan" in the book "The Covenant of Lin Jing": "I was educated in my childhood, and everyone asked me, and the secrets of the four sides were sparse; After 20 years of painstaking efforts, I have learned more. " Wang Ting, a long-lost friend, said: "For thousands of years, the history of 2 1 century has been turned over." However, his road to the imperial examination was very bumpy, and he repeatedly failed. Later, he wrote a book at home. He fell madly in love with a geisha named Hou Huiqing and frequently contacted the life of Suzhou teahouse and restaurant, which provided first-hand information for him to be familiar with folk literature. His collection of folk songs "Guizhi Er" and "Folk Songs" was created at that time.
It was not until the third year of Chongzhen (1630) that Feng Menglong was introduced. At the age of 57, he was compiled as a tribute student. The following year, an exception was made, and Dantu was granted. In seven years (1634), it was promoted to Shouning County, Fujian Province. I returned to my hometown four years later.
When the world situation was turbulent and the Qing soldiers went south, he not only actively promoted the anti-Qing, but also published a book "Zhongxing Lulve", and personally ran the anti-Qing cause at the age of 70. Feng Menglong is a patriot. When Chongzhen was appointed as the magistrate of Shouning County in 1999, he stated the reasons for the decline of the country. In the third year of Qing Shunzhi (1646), Chun died of grief and was killed by Qing soldiers.
