Wang Yuhui's family is very poor. In addition to a wife, there is also a son and four daughters at home, which is a big family. But he didn't choose to teach in the library. Wang Yuhui said that he didn't have time to do this because he was busy writing a book, "Jiahui came to study".
Taking Zhu as a "spiritual mentor" not only learns his knowledge, but also follows Zhu's path in research methods.
Wang Yuhui s "Three Rites";
It refers to three books used by the ancients to record the ritual system: Zhou Li, Yi Li and Li Ji. Zhu thought of classics, biography and collation of books about ancient etiquette, but he was seriously ill before he finished it. On his deathbed, Zhu also told his students to work hard to compile the whole book. This book "Book of Rites" is just continuing Zhu's unfinished business, and even the learning methods are exactly the same as Zhu's.
Wang Yuhui's second book is a calligraphy book, The Seven-year Literacy Law. Of course, this is not an enlightenment book for children, but a "primary school" in China traditional culture, that is, China traditional literature. The contents of primary school study mainly include the philology of analyzing glyphs, the phonology of studying the sound of words, and the exegetics of explaining the meaning of words.
