Life of the characters

Born in the ninth year of Zhengde of Ming Dynasty (1514). When I was young, I studied in the Qingxia valley of Luofu Mountain and called myself qingxiazi. Since childhood, he had a lot of talent. When he was young, he took part in the scientific examination and made up for the students in the county. Inspector Tian Rucheng is a famous scholar in China. He interviewed Li Shixing on the topic of "Prince Li's identification of Jiang Chong traitors". He was surprised by Li Shixing's response and asserted that he would win the world's literary champion. In the 19th year of Jiajing (1540), Li Shixing won the mid-term examination, and became a scholar in the second year. Jiajing 21 years (1542), Zhejiang Jiaxing county magistrate. Only 28 years old. Jiaxing is a big city, where famous families and great families gather. It often interferes with political affairs, and is rebellious and intractable. Li Shixing dealt with the cases impartially and treated all the offenders mercilessly. Li Shixing verified the case and dealt with it according to law, which greatly pleased the people of the county. It is convincing to make a reasonable judgment on disputes over family property. Therefore, Li Shixing was recommended to the imperial court by the censor of the Ministry of Commerce, and was promoted to the head of the vehicle driving Department of the Ministry of arms in Nanjing in 1545. At that time, there were personnel disputes and political corruption in the Ming Dynasty. When Li Shixing came to office, he was taboo by his colleagues and slandered by rumors. He could not be self-evident, so he had to brush his sleeve and quit being an official.

From then on, he wandered around and made friends with people from other places. Visit the West Lake of Hangzhou, explore the Yuling Mausoleum of Shaoxing, climb the Tianmu Mountain, face Huqiu mountain in the East, experience Mount Tai in the East, and go to kuanglu in the West. Write poems about the scenery, express the seclusion in the chest, disperse the anger of loneliness, and there are many words of nostalgia for the country. There is a sentence in the poem Deng Wuxing city tower, which can express this kind of mood very well: "it's pleasant to reminisce of the past, but it's hard to feel when you feel it. Fire in the northwest, pay in the southeast. Sorrow produces hidden worries, but the deep cup is exhausted. It's hard to plant when you're away from home. " After his tiresome tour, Li Shixing returned to Guangdong and built a thatched cottage in the western suburb of Guangzhou. In the western city, he built a villa called "xiaoyunlin" with a plaque of "Qingxia cave" as a place for reading and meeting friends. If you buy calligraphy and famous paintings for collection, when you have time, you can show them and chant them for entertainment. When Zengcheng Zhan Ruoshui and Xiangshan Huang Zuo advocated learning from the southeast, Li Shixing successively gave lectures from the tour, and then reunited with Ou Daren, Liang Youyu, Li minbiao, Wu Dan and others to form the Nanyuan poetry club, known as the "five sons of Nanyuan", which contributed to the revitalization of Lingnan poetry style.

Li Shixing studies behind closed doors. It seems that he is isolated from the world. In fact, he does not forget to care about current affairs. In 1564, the garrison of Zhelin mutinied and the city gate of Guangzhou was closed even in the daytime. Li Shixing and his friend Huo Zhongxi took the initiative to propose to the authorities that they would lead troops to attack, but they were not approved. The next year, Li Shixing's second son, Li Qihe, was recommended to be a student of Taitai. Li Shixing went north with him by boat and traveled around again. Not only to revisit Wuyue, but also to experience the Yan, Zhao, Qi and Liang dynasties, to visit Confucius forest, to climb Taibai tower, to stop and watch the famous mountains and rivers, to linger for days, to climb and chant. The beautiful scenery of rivers and mountains endows Li Shixing's poems with boiling blood and vigorous strength. Wen Zhengming commented: "articles were written in the Han and Wei dynasties, ancient poems were written by Yan Xie, songs were written by Li Du, and Jue Lu was written by the king of Shen and Song Dynasties, Meng Zhu. He was highly accomplished and believed in the help of rivers and mountains.

In 1569, Li Shixing died at his residence in Guangzhou. He was 55 years old.
