Yu Mingzhen (1860-1918) was born in Hunan Province in Doumen, Shanyin, Zhejiang Province. Wuzi of Guangxu (1888) was an official in Gansu Province. After entering the Republic of China, it was a history of Suzheng. Xie Bing retired to Hangzhou West Lake. In the Ming Dynasty, the poems were hard to chant. They said that they would become a poem, or they would not sleep until the end of the night, and they were very sick and dizzy, so they didn't write much. Gu'an Shicun was handed down to the world.

Life of the characters

Yu Mingzhen is the 38th grandson of the Yu family in Wufeng, Xinchang, Zhejiang Province. His 22nd ancestor, Yu Renyi, moved to Doumen, Shaoxing in the Ming Dynasty, and his ancestor, Yu Shanquan (Zhiren), moved to the capital to settle in Wanping, Shuntian (now Beijing). His father, Yu Wenbao, was a Juren of Xianfeng in the year of 1911. He was the magistrate of Xingning and Dong'an counties in Hunan Province, so he lived in Shanhua county (now Changsha City). Yu Mingzhen's youth can write poems. Guangxu 16 years (1890), the examination of Geng Yin Enke three Jinshi, in May of the same year, to Hanlin academy Shuji Shi. In May of the 18th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, he scattered the hall and wrote for the use of his subordinates. He was given the charge of the Ministry of punishment. After the outbreak of the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, Tang Jingsong, the governor of Taiwan, played the tune. In 1895, he succeeded Gu Zhaoxi as Taiwan's political envoy. Only a few days later, according to the Treaty of Shimonoseki, the Qing Dynasty ceded Taiwan to Japan. Yu Mingzhen, Tang Jingsong and Qiu Fengjia organized the Taiwan garrison to resist Japan, established the Taiwan Democratic state, and became the Minister of internal affairs. Soon after the defeat, they left Taiwan in a hurry and went to Xiamen.

During the reform movement of 1898, Yu Mingzhen actively supported Kang and Liang, and participated in the new policies implemented by Hunan Governor Chen Baozhen. After the failure of the reform, he was transferred to Nanjing Jiangnan Naval Academy and the general office of the affiliated mining and Railway Academy. Guangxu 33 years (1907), transferred to Jiangxi Ganning road. Xuantong two years (1910), as Gansu tixue Shi. In 1911, he acted as an envoy. In the early years of the Republic of China, he was appointed as the Prime Minister of the pingzhengyuan. Soon, I left for my hometown. In his later years, he lived in Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places. On November 22, 1918 (December 24, 1918), he died in Yuzhuang, Hangzhou and was buried in Hangzhou. There are four volumes of Gu'an Shicun.

Yu Mingzhen has many students, such as Wang BoChang, the great master of Chinese culture, Lu Xun and so on.

During the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, he helped Taiwan Governor Tang Jingsong to defend Taiwan. Yu Mingzhen also served as the director of the General Administration of tax collection, Xuetai and FanTai in Gansu Province. Yu Mingzhen once served as the supervisor of Nanjing Jiangnan Naval Academy, also known as the president.

In 1898, Zhou Shuren (Lu Xun), 18, entered the school and became a student of Yu Mingzhen. In Lu Xun's diary, Yu Mingzhen mentioned "Ke Shi Shi" many times. Lu Xun also described the "mentor" who sent him to study abroad later in his essay suoji.

Lu Xun recalled his study in the mining road school attached to Jiangnan Lu normal school in his essay "picking up flowers in the morning and evening. He said:" but the general office in the second year was a new party. When he was sitting in the carriage, he mostly looked at the current affairs newspaper and made his own problems in the examination of Chinese, which was very different from the teacher's. Once on Washington, the Chinese language teacher came to us and asked, "what is Washington?

Yu Mingzhen, the general office of the "new party" called by Lu Xun, is a scholar whose ancestral home is Doumen in Shanyin. In Lu Xun's diary, he is respected as "Mr. Keshi". Of course, at that time, Lu Xun probably did not know that the general manager of the four grades had the same hometown friendship with him. As early as Yu Shiqi, great grandfather of Yu Mingzhen, he had been sent to Wanping County, shuntianfu. In his father's generation, Yu Wenbao was the magistrate of Xinning and Dong'an counties in Hunan Province, and lived in Shanhua (now Changsha City). His family became Hunan people. Yu Mingyi, the third younger brother of Yu Mingzhen, married Zeng Guofan's family, which is the most famous family in Hunan, and Xu Zhucheng called it "Hunan family".

In the 16th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, Gengyin Enke became a Jinshi in the epicenter of the Yuming earthquake. Before the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, he went to Taiwan in the tune of Tang Jingsong, the governor of Taiwan, to take charge of the whole Taiwan's business affairs, and personally went to the front line to take part in the fight against the Japanese aggressors. This is the general experience of Yu Mingzhen before he became the general office of Jiangnan Lu Shi. Witnessing the corruption and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, Yu Ming Zhen was inclined to reform and advocated learning from foreign advanced experience, especially the various measures of Meiji Reform in Japan. During his tenure in the general office of Lu Normal University, he led Lu normal university students to study in Japan twice, including Lu Xun and his son Yu Dachun. He himself and his younger brother Yu Mingyi focused on the school education, adult education and military education in Japan. During this period, he received the Japanese ambassador kanaji Goro who came to China to investigate academic affairs in Nanjing. Yu Mingzhen's brother-in-law Chen Sanli attended the banquet. Mr. Lu Xun described the miasma of thunder and lightning school (i.e. Jiangnan Navy) in his article "suoji". The teaching contents were outdated, the school authorities were confused, and they engaged in feudal superstitious activities. Yu Mingzhen and Chen Sanli knew very well that they were only ashamed to face the Japanese envoys. Chen Sanli wrote a five character poem to record the process.

When Yu Mingzhen was appointed as the general office of Lu Shi, his brother-in-law Chen Sanli, who was banished in the 1898 coup, moved to Jiangning. A group of southeast celebrities, such as Li Ruiqing, fan Zengxiang, Xia Jingguan, Zhu zumou, Wang BoChang, Chen bochen, and so on, traveled among the six dynasties. The Qinhuai River was on the rise, the lake was on the lotus, and poetry and wine were lingering in Jiangning. Among them, Chen bochen wrote an anecdote about Yu Mingzhen in miscellaneous records

Xinchou is old, and I need to go to Jiangning, where I live in Wuyi lane. One day, when Yu Ke Shi couldn't observe him, he wrote a poem: "the cold wind blows, and the feet are as cold as ice. I'm afraid I have to go home to light up. The message is that there is no need to steam salted fish and bacon. There are two pairs of sedan bearers and four soldiers. They eat as much as cattle. If the sedan chair rice is folded, the Dragon Ocean Star Anise is too cheap. " In the capital, the sedan chair meal is only a dime for each person. However, at the banquet in Nanjing, there are five or seven guests on the platform. Besides the soldiers, there are also dingma and parachutists. The expenses are often more than 100, and the expenses are twice as high as those for each person. Even if there are those who need it, it's not easy for the honest members to treat.

Chen bochen, who wrote the above miscellany, was also a native of Hunan. In the 19th year of Guangxu, he was a magistrate, living in Wuyi Lane in front of the Confucius Temple and making friends with Yu Mingzhen in poetry and prose. He invited Yu Mingzhen to drink. The so-called "observation" is a good name for Daotai. At that time, Yu Mingzhen took Daotai as the general office of the Army division. Because of the nature of military academy, he had personal soldiers and top horses. Yu Mingzhen's euphemism in his doggerel can not be described as a bad effort. Huang Jun wrote about it in his collection of memories of huasuiren's holy nunnery. He also said that "Yu Yu should be zhijueying No.3". It can be seen in Mr. Xu Zhucheng's article that "zhijueying No. 6" is not known whether it is because of a mistake in memory or writing. Yu Mingzhen later bought his own land to build "Yu Garden" in Toutiao Lane in the north of the city. Zhijueying No. 3 was about his initial residence. He had to take a carriage to go to the school. There was a distance between him and the school, which needed further research.

He was famous for his collection for a time. There were many secret books, most of which were collected by the inner court, such as the single copy of the song and Yuan Dynasties, the inscription of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the calligraphy and painting, and the bamboo slips. Although Zhang Yuanji, Zhang Jian, and Zheng Wenzhuo were not as good as them. When I lived in Hangzhou, there were five couplets in the library. The library was named yunyushanfang. There were Qi's version of a dream of Red Mansions and Qi liaosheng's collection during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. Tongcheng open mold has a record book, which was obtained by Yu Mingzhen in Guangxu period. He has frequent contacts with Yuan Chang, Shen Zengzhi, Jin Rongjing and other book collectors, and the books are printed with "Yu Mingzhen's seal", "Yu's collection", "Yu Keshi's collection" and so on. He compiled the catalogue of Yu's Library and the collection chronicle book as the account book for his collection of books and gold and stone relics. He wrote Gu'an collection, Gu'an poetry collection, Gu'an essays and Taiwan eight diaries.
