耶律楚材

During the time visiting When I visited the Summer Palace, there was a place called "Shrine of Yeluchuchai" (耶律楚材祠) which interesteds me. From the information plaque guide machine, I knew realized that Yeluchuchai 耶律楚材 was an important minister in the period of the during the Mongol empire.  the Qing dynasty, When Emperor, Qianlong emperor was prepared of the Ch'ing1 Dynasty preparing to build this his imperial garden, the coffin of  and found 耶律楚材's coffin in the vicinity here. He The Emperor made a decision that built to build an ancestral hall in the same place for him at the same spot. So I had a question wondered why in the imperial garden can have a person's coffin from other period would someone's coffin be housed in the imperial gardens? This person must have a graet  made great achievements which worthy in the eyes of the Emperor. Qinglong done this.


So I searched researched on this person him on the Internet. I read many materials about him.  Sure enough, he was a great person. As a kid, he read many many books from his young time and he was good became great at astronomy, geography, calendar, mathematics, medicine and almost everything else. Although he was a important and powerful minister, that was not his purpose. he just wanted to use his power to save his country and more people. He was never afraid of what consequences that may be fall on him in telling the truth.  always told the truths which was good for his country and people, never afraiding of putting into prison or beheading for his truths. About him, there are many things can be say. I just wrote a few about him because I also need to use time to read him. There are many more things about him that I want to say but I needed more time to verify and digest his accomplishments.


One sentence of his one poem which give me many feeling,There is a line from one of his poems made me so heart felt - "Know not what may limit dreams of man... Too many! That I seek refuge in my wine to imagine." (不知何限人间梦，并触沉思到酒边).

Thanks for alerting me to this person...  I too shall research on him.  Also you need to provide a translation of in that language you are writing for all Chinese characters you wrote.
