Profile

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the yuan army went down to the south in a large scale, and the small court soon disintegrated. The emperor Zhao Xian and Empress Dowager Xie were captured and went north. In May 1276, Zhao Shi was hailed as emperor by Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu in Fuzhou. He was named Jingyan. At that time, Chen Gongrong (Zihua), a student from Jiangtian village of Changle, broke up his family and raised soldiers. He resolutely organized his hometown's children under the surname of Chen, determined to fight the yuan army to the end. Wen Tianxiang, who was also the prime minister, recommended Chen Gongrong as magistrate of Fuqing, regardless of his family's righteous deeds for the country when the country was in danger.

In November 1276, the yuan army approached Fuzhou, and Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu escorted Zhao Shidi back to Quanzhou from the sea. Pu shougeng, the governor of Quanzhou, was demoted to the Yuan Dynasty, and the small court fled to Chaozhou. Only Xinghua City was still guarded by Chen Wenlong under the banner of "born as a minister of the Song Dynasty and died as a ghost of the Song Dynasty". Chen Wenlong was born in Putian and grew up in Changle. He was the number one scholar in wuchenke (1268). At this time, Chen Wenlong's soldiers were slightly isolated. In a very embarrassing situation, he wrote a letter to Chen Gongrong, magistrate of Fuqing county and commander of the marching army Chen Wenlong of zhixinghua army paid homage to Zihua and wrote to Zihua: Wenlong was ordered to supervise Pu, and the fortress was initially established. Wang Gang, a thief minister, had a strange ambition and was agitated by emotion. After a few days, Wenlong's righteousness did not coexist. Yingcheng had been firmly guarded for 20 days, and all the stones were gone. Zihua encouraged him. Breathing is vital! Zihua encouraged it!

In the letter, Chen Wenlong explained the urgency of the situation. Chen Gongrong knew that the small court had become a difficult situation, but he resolutely led the Chen's children from Changle Jiangtian to Quanzhou to help Zhang Shijie and Yuan soldiers fight at the foot of Fenghuang mountain. In the fierce battle, Chen Gongrong and his family soldiers were separated. His son Zongfu and nephew Laocheng charged for help and died one after another. In this battle, 173 people died in Jiangtian. Only Chen Gongrong survived and returned home.

After the yuan army broke all the resistance of the Southern Song Dynasty, Chen Wenlong was captured, escorted northward, and killed himself in Yuemiao temple in Hangzhou, which left a good reputation as a national hero for thousands of years. Staying at home in Jiangtian village, Chen Gongrong wrote a poem about his nephew Lao Cheng and other Martyrs: the stars will fall in the border city, the vast smoke and dust will be yellow. I'm also on the March. I'm not sure whether I'll live or die. Tears Pang feeling yongjue, fierce destroy the liver and intestines, Xier battle male sword, Zhifeng Qing eight wasteland. He is a good shepherd and has a good plan. If you meet a thief, you can fight him. The number of Qi by personnel, even to the edge of the knife stiff. Loyal soul thin sun and moon, eternal light. Although the cloud is dead, the national humiliation is not forgotten. Death should be a fierce ghost, and chieftains should be killed.

The poem describes the heroic spirit of the volunteers who bravely go to the battlefield. Under the situation of "life and death are beyond measure", they resolutely fight against aggression, showing the noble integrity of national heroes who love their country and hometown. After these heroes died in the battlefield, Chen Gongrong wrote: "the loyal soul is thin, the sun and the moon are strong, the light is eternal", which fully expressed his high praise of the heroic sacrifice of the people, and eulogized the national spirit of the Chinese people who have been fighting and never compromising for thousands of years. Finally, it is Chen Gongrong's wish from his heart: "death should be a fierce ghost, and the chieftains should be killed as much as possible", and he will never forget the national humiliation and family feuds in his heart.

In his later years, Chen Gongrong warned his people not to be an official in the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, in the Yuan Dynasty, none of the Chen family in Jiangtian was an official. It was only after the Ming Dynasty that there were many talented people.

After his death, Chen Gongrong was buried at the foot of the mountain in front of Jiangtian village. Only "I Suo" was engraved on the tombstone without any record. Today, a stone tablet has been erected beside the tomb to record the deeds of Chen Gongrong.
