As a scholar living in an era, he correctly understood and responded to the world history of the present day, thereby striving to improve the reality properly. In the first half of the nineteenth century, when 梅山 lived, the situation of the time was not the same as any other age. So he thought it was a pressing and urgent task to prepare a remedy to heal a degenerate age. He thought at this time that informing 忠孝 and 貞烈 could be a way to heal the end times. Therefore, He actively introduced the people who practiced 忠孝 and 貞烈 to make the world known. Even if they are low-ranking people, He was always happy to write these 傳狀 and 碑誌.
