Those family members who change their old ways less often come from Lu You's family motto "Xu Xun". Lu You was born in Yinshan, Yuezhou (now Shaoxing), a writer, historian and patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Lu You was born at the time of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty and grew up at the time of local peace in the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, he faced the pain of national destruction since he was a child, and advocated the northern expedition to the Central Plains all his life, even if it affected his official career. Lu Yousheng has seven sons. In order to educate future generations, Lu You specially wrote "Xu Xun" to teach children how to stand on the world with his own personal experience. Later generations also called "Xu Xun" Weng Fang Jia Xun.
Lu You's Xu Xun has two parts. The first part was written by Lu You in his middle age, and the second part was written by Lu You in his later years. In the family training, Lu You did not ask his children to study and be an official, but even if they work in agriculture, they should not learn badly, and even if they have no talent, they should study. And special reminder, smart children are often the easiest to learn bad, so smart children should pay more attention to education and can't relax at all.
Lu Yousheng was deeply influenced by family patriotism when he was a teenager. When I was in Song Gaozong, I took the does exam, but my career didn't go well because I was rejected by the traitor Qin Gui. Song Xiaozong was born a scholar after he acceded to the throne. He used to be the master book of Ningde County, Fuzhou, the official of deleting government decrees, and the judge of Longxing House. Because he insisted on resisting gold, he was repeatedly rejected by the Lord and factions. In the seventh year (1 17 1), he joined the army and worked in Nanzheng shogunate at the invitation of Sichuan ambassador Wang Yan.
The following year, the shogunate was dissolved, and Lu You entered Shu, making friends with Fan Chengda, the envoy of Sichuan. After Song Guangzong succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to Doctor of Rites and Reviser of History Museum. Soon after, he was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown for "mocking romantics". In the second year of Jiatai (1202), Song Ningzong sent an imperial edict to Lu You to Beijing, and presided over the compilation of Xiao Zong and Guang Zong's Records of the Two Dynasties and History of the Three Dynasties. His official position was to be determined. After the book was written, Lu You lived in seclusion in Yin Shan for a long time, and died in Jiading for two years (12 10), leaving the last book, Shizi.
