Ming (AD 156 1 year) was born in Xinghua, Jiangsu. Date of birth and death is unknown. He lived about 40 years ago during the Jiajing period of Sejong in the Ming Dynasty, at the age of 75. In the 26th year of Jiajing (AD 1547), he became the first scholar. Awarded Hanlin a bachelor's degree by writing. Ministers tired of official etiquette. Participate in maintenance.

Li Chunfang (15 10-1584) was born in Xinghua, Yangzhou, South Zhili (now Xinghua, Jiangsu). Born in the fifth year of Zheng De in Ming Dynasty (15 10) and died in the twelfth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1584). The picture below shows the image of Li Chunfang.
In the 15th year of Jiajing (1536), 25-year-old Li Chunfang participated in a famous debate in the history of China thought with great interest. On the one hand, it is the "Yangming School" represented by OuYangDe, and on the other hand, it is the "Understanding Heaven" school represented by Zhan Ruoshui. The two sides are evenly matched. Wang Gen, a native of Taizhou, took a different approach and skillfully put forward a new argument that "righteousness leads to conscience everywhere", which calmed and unified the two sides and played the banner of Taizhou School. I was very excited to learn from Zhan Ruoshui and believe in the "six-character mantra". I personally went to Xu Dongyuan to visit Wang Gen and listen to the teachings. OuYangDe was convinced by the new theory he learned, and OuYangDe had to sit up and take notice of the young man. The picture below shows the Dongyue Temple in Xinghua.
Li Chunfang was a great scholar in Jiajing Decade (153 1). Zhongju Logistics made unremitting efforts, and successively learned from OuYangDe, Zhan Ruoshui and other great scholars in the world, and "benefited" from Wang Gen to learn from Ding Yanghui. In Xinghua, we left the "Li Reading Room" in the Outer Earth Temple in Dongcheng and the reading desk in Wuling West. The picture below shows the big stone Buddha in Xinghua Temple in Xuzhou.
It is said that Wu Cheng'en, the fifth son of Sheyang who was sitting in Huai 'an at that time, was lucky enough to know Li Chunfang, nicknamed "Huayang Cave Lord", and wrote an earth-shattering The Journey to the West with him. The picture below shows the four archways in Xinghua.
On 26th of Jiajing (1547), Li Chunfang won the championship in one fell swoop, and Ding Jia was the first in the top ten. After six promotions, in the forty-fourth year of Jiajing (1565), he entered the cabinet to pay homage to Shangshu of the Ritual Department, Prince Taibao and the University of Wuyingdian. In the second year of Qin Long (1568), 58-year-old Li Chunfang was promoted to the position of records after Xu Jie, and "Ji Shao Shi became a prince's surname, joined the official department and changed to Zhongji Temple". From the champion to the prime minister, a plaque of "the champion prime minister" was hung high on the newly completed Xinghua four archways.
Deeply infiltrated by Confucianism, Li Chunfang finally realized the ideal of "ruling the country and leveling the world". He formulated the "Zongfan Regulations" to standardize the etiquette of the imperial clan; Take charge of the imperial examination and recommend talents; Chongjian stopped building Xiangfeng Building; Stop the shortage of funds and ease domestic contradictions; Recruit foreign vassals, allow Mongolia's Anda Department to "pay for the seal", strengthen national unity, and make the border areas without war for decades. At the same time, be strict with yourself and be honest. He handled state affairs properly and quietly, and the Ming history commented that he was "flat in political affairs and careless in everything" and "as quiet as the emperor's will". The picture below shows Li Chunfang's handwriting.
Together, the brave Zhang and the supercilious high arch set their sights on the first building. In a chat, Li Chunfang lamented Xu Jie: "Xu Gong Shang Er, can I be calm?" Zhang coldly replied, "So, protect your name." Li Chunfang broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that Yan Song killed Xia Yan, Xu Jie trounced Yan Song, and high arch impeached Xu Jie. None of these records had a happy ending. So the intention was firm, and even seven official seals were stamped, which was finally approved. "Spring fragrance returns, parents are still innocent, drinking and having fun in the morning and evening, and the village is gorgeous." Also entrusted by Wang You, he wrote the inscription of the Temple of Confucianism. Li Chunfang's "Yi 'an Hall" and "Mingjun" are waiting to enter the history of the Ming Dynasty. The picture below shows Li Chunfang's book Shadow.
In the 13th year of Wanli (1585), 75-year-old Li Chunfang left the top scholar's pen and died peacefully. The cemetery given to Li Chunfang by Qin Shihuang is in the western hills of Yangzhou, and the cemetery is on the east side of Hong 'en Temple, close to Gouchengtang. Li Chunfang's former residence is in the north of Zhuangyuan Lane outside Xinghua East City, and now only a few pillars of Zhuangyuan Square at the head of the lane are left. In the forty-fourth year of Jiajing (1565), there was a magnificent old people's residence between Sipailou and Baziqiao in the city. It arrived at the East Street in the city before, and then faced the original Tashi Lane and Miaoting. The door was as deep as the sea and remained until the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Later, due to private renovation, only two rooms in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were built, which used to be the bedroom of Liu, the earliest female journalist in China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Liu is the born granddaughter and Liu Xizai's first granddaughter. She is studying in Japan. Xiangfu's gatehouse is also very famous, and Huoxiang is now a thoroughfare, named "Yuangufu Lane". The picture below shows the Senate.
Beijing Library Publishing House published a book "Talking about Wu Cheng'en —— Revealing the Author Problem of The Journey to the West", suggesting that The Journey to the West was not written by Wu Cheng'en, but by Li Chunfang, the "Prime Minister of Qing Dynasty" of Ming Jiajing.
Li Chunfang (? ——? ) Ming, Jingxing, Xiping. From the age of Gong, he was appointed as the magistrate of Qixian County, and was later promoted to the magistrate of Baode County. The state is known as the harassment of the Mongolian upper ruling group, and the state capital is restless. After Chunfang took office, she focused on rectifying the Yugoslav capital. All the enemy's crossbows, arrows and fire appliances have been carefully renovated. She personally tutored the methods of guarding the city and taught the strategies of defending the enemy. She is organized and serious. The following year, the enemy came to the gate and saw that the city was heavily guarded and patrolled, and fled without fighting. Later, he was ordered to build river banks and three fortresses in dangerous places to further strengthen defense facilities, so that the enemy did not dare to harass again and built border defense fortifications many times. At that time, Shizhou under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan was attacked by the enemy. On the recommendation of Fu, Chunfang was awarded Taiyuan Tongzhi to manage Shizhou affairs. When the enemy retreated, he called the exiled people, rebuilt the city, strengthened the garrison, supported the people, developed production, restored state governance, and changed its name to Yongning, so that the enemy did not dare to commit any more crimes and the people could recuperate. Quanzhou people felt Xie Chunfang's morality and built a shrine for him. The emperor praised his contribution and promoted him to be a soldier of Ningwu Road.
People think that The Journey to the West is an inference of Li Chunfang. In recent years, he caused a sensation in the literary world.
However, it is hard to argue after speculation. For example, The Journey to the West was written by Wu Cheng'en's friend Li Chunfang. One of the evidences is that Shide Tang Ben in Jinling, The Journey to the West signed his name as "Lord of Huayang Cave", while Li Chunfang's ancestors lived in Jurong, Jiangsu five generations ago. There is a big Maofeng in the southeast of Jurong, and Huayang Cave is under it ... In addition, when Li Chunfang won the top prize, Wu Cheng'en's congratulatory message "To the foothills of Sok Li" wrote such an important sentence: "Moving to Huayang Cave". ...
I suspect that Huayang Cave is located in Huayan Cave and Chaoyang Cave on the east side of water curtain cave in Yuntai Mountain, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, and the "owner of Huayang Cave" is Wu Cheng'en.
Huayan Cave and Chaoyang Cave, as scenic spots in Yuntai Mountain, appeared together in the inscription of Sanyuan Temple in Yuntai Mountain written by Zhang Chaorui, a native of Haizhou in Ming Dynasty. The well-written court official counted the famous caves in Yuntai Mountain-
"Two immortals in the cave, water curtain, huayan, sunrise."
Almost all local chronicles and mountain records have detailed descriptions of water curtain, Huayang and Chaoyang Cave.
Zhang Chaorui, who first recorded scenic spots such as "Water Curtain", "Huayan" and "Chaoyang", and Wu Cheng'en's cousins, Hu Yingying and Hu Yingjia, were all candidates for the imperial examination during Jiajing period in Haizhou. It can be seen that Wu Cheng'en is very familiar with the cave remains in Yuntai Mountain, and the signature of "Lord Huayang Cave" is the evidence that Wu Cheng'en lives in seclusion in Yuntai Mountain.
If the "Lord of Huayang Cave" was not Wu Cheng'en, there would be no description of punishing and killing the dragon king frequently in The Journey to the West, because Wu Cheng'en had a long experience of flooding; There will be no rendering of the host repeatedly interrupting the door, because Wu Cheng'en's family background has the same experience; There won't be too many Huaijun dialects, because Wu Cheng'en lived in Huai 'an for more than 70 years ... and Li Chunfang's ancestral home Jurong belongs to Old Xinghua. If he is the author, there should be many towns and proverbs in the book.
Wu Cheng'en often writes articles for Li Chunfang: Li Chunfang won the first prize and he wrote a congratulatory poem; Li's wife died early and he wrote a eulogy; On the eightieth birthday of Li's parents, he wrote Ode to De Shou. ...
The reason why Guo Huashan moved from the distant western regions to Yuntai Mountain, which is overseas from the East, is that the author knows the story and customs of Yuntai Mountain and Dahai like the back of his hand. Wuyuan Garden in Yuntai Mountain has a close relationship with the author, which makes the author feel attached to the landscape, aiming at the fairy mountain, pointing to "dragon (mountain) tiger (mountain)" and fantasizing about "proudly coming" ... How did Li Canchunfang and others know about this?
As for saying that Li Chunfang once provided information or collated it for The Journey to the West in Wu Cheng'en, that's another matter. Just as there is correspondence between the Xu brothers and Li Ruzhen, the signature of Jinghuayuan cannot be changed.
I added some information that Baidu didn't have, hoping to help you.
