Born in Shunzhi years, she (now Siling Village) of Chiling, Guanqiao Town, Anxi County, Fujian Province, said: "when preparing for the army in Hainan, the army and the people loved him both in favor and in favor of him"; "he was honest in nature and favored the government more than ever, such as imprisoning maidservants, forbidding investment and charging, forbidding connections, forbidding the people to borrow business debts, which was praised by the Cantonese people.". Geng Zhongming, who resisted extravagance, excessive labor service, and private creation of exorbitant taxes in order to reduce the taxes on people's labor, is still gratified, and has published tuntian Shu. In the 13th year of Shunzhi, he was falsely accused by the second vassal. At the time of arrest, the people were filled with grief. In the 17th year of Shunzhi (1660), Si Huan went to the West Cao prison of the Ministry of punishment, and the plan was fruitless. "The emperor was diligent for three years. Put it under the rule of Hangzhou for the time being. After the early reign of Kangxi (1662), Pingyuan was released after reexamination, and Guangxi Zuo was promoted to participate in politics. Sihuan experienced hardships and had no intention of official career, so he lived in Hangzhou and set sail on the West Lake to express his love for the scenery and sing to celebrities. Later, he died of poverty, and his wife died in the morning and night. Fortunately, in the same year, Tang Mengfu was buried in Xisha spring stone of Zhaoqing temple, and four volumes of his works were collected. "After 40 years, my nephew Biaoguang visited it and buried it at the foot of Yuping mountain" (now yudouniumian mountain, Jinbang village, Huqiu Town, Anxi County). The original stele is intact, and the text says: "the soldiers of xiandajin learned from the tombs of Duke Lin of Tieya, Wang of Shuren and Huating of men's literature. In September of the reign of Emperor Qianlong, Ding Chou was worshipped by his family. " The clan respected Sihuan very much, and they often paid a sincere visit with their children, hoping that they could learn from their nephew. In Sihuan's hometown, there are also popular stories such as "Huang Jing Zhu Tian" and "Hu Kong Geng Du". He is erudite and good at writing, and has written Tieya Wenji, Haiyu Bian, Lingnan Jilue, Lizhi dialect, Hufang collection, transitional poetry collection, huiyancao, oral skill, etc. among them, the abridged version of oral skill is still a junior high school Chinese text, and oral skill is collected in Yuchu Xinzhi.

He wrote many wonderful articles in his life, such as Hufang collection, Guoxia poem, Haiyu chapter, Lingnan chronicle, etc. His articles are bizarre and extraordinary. He is full of grievances and wants to make a thunderbolt. He and the people get together, so the article has a strong flavor of life, realistic and touching.

Related anecdotes

"Stand up!" With the shouts of the schoolmaster, the head of a six-year-old boy was slowly protruded out of the window. He was wearing an old suit that didn't fit and had a whip in his hand. The teachers and students went out of the private school one after another. "What's your name?" The teacher leaned down and asked with concern. "My name is Lin Sihuan. I live in Houshe, Chiling." The child pointed to the village not far away with a whip, and then made an introduction without asking himself: "father Lin's millet, brother Si Zhen. I like listening to your lecture very much. I've been eavesdropping on it for more than half a year! " "Then come and read!" "My family is so poor that I can't afford to study!" The teacher nodded his head and stroked his beard for a long time, but suddenly he had an idea: "Sihuan, would you please come into the school and sit for a while?" The teacher arranged for Sihuan and the students to sit down, spread out their pens and paper, and announced the beginning of the examination. Lin Sihuan, a cattle herder who had never been to school, was so eloquent and eloquent that the dandy of the gentry and the rich could not look back. Lin Zhisu's approval was won by the teacher, who had worn the skin of his mouth and the soles of his shoes. With the help of free bundle repair, subsidized pen and ink, and helped the family, he let Sihuan go to the private school to read beside his classmates. Si Huan worked hard for his father while studying. In 1615, when Sihuan was seven years old, Huang Jingfang, a bachelor, did not believe that he could "inspire himself to study" and "keep a diary full of words". He specially interviewed him. He was also impressed by his intelligence and talent, so he made an exception to accept him as "companion reader". Since then, Sihuan has been like a fish in water, like a tiger in the wings, and his studies have improved by leaps and bounds. for the first time in the rural examination, the examiner decided that the words were not written by poor children, and arbitrarily judged them as "plagiarism". The wronged heihuan was blinded. One morning, he went to Huangjing to draw water as usual, but the neighbors had colluded with each other and deliberately put all the buckets into the house the night before. Heihuan, who couldn't reach the water, stood by the well and swore to heaven: "a scholar can be humiliated and his ambition can't be taken away! I will work harder and harder... " All of a sudden, there was a roar at the bottom of the well, and the water overflowed the well. Up to now, the water level of the Yellow well in front of the former residence of Sihuan is still far higher than the water level of the pond on the side, which has become a major landscape of Houshe in Chiling, Anxi County, Fujian Province. Confucius said, "those who have gone can't be admonished, but those who have come can still be pursued." In the days after Huang Jing wished heaven, he put it into practice. In 1642 ad, the 34 year old Lin Sihuan was elected. After that, he successfully passed the examination and became a high school scholar. The anecdotes of Sihuan have been handed down from generation to generation in his hometown.

Character evaluation

Lin Sihuan is not only a well-known litterateur who is erudite and good at writing, but also a upright and upright official who is honest and upright, diligent in administration and loving the people. In the corrupt feudal officialdom, he was a bit lonely. At that time, the prince's palace sent two people to Lin Sihuan to talk about things. They rode straight to the court. Lin Sihuan pulled them down and beat them 30 boards each. The vassal king was so angry that Lin Sihuan was spared by the local Fujun's persuasion. Lin Sihuan is good at writing, but not good at being an official. His upright character made him depressed in officialdom. In the 13th year of Shunzhi, he wrote "tuntian Shu" in order to reduce the burden of the masses, and was falsely accused of dereliction of duty by Geng Shanger fan. However, it was his "not good at being an official" and his unwillingness to go along with others that made him popular and famous. If Lin Sihuan had made great progress in the officialdom, then we can almost conclude that he just added a mediocre feudal bureaucrat to the officialdom, and Lin Sihuan would not be a famous writer. He can be literate at the age of seven. He went to the examination for a long time. Because the article was so extraordinary that the examiner suspected that it was written by someone else, so it could not be sold. Sihuan was not discouraged when he met with setbacks, and he was even more angry to study. In the 15th year of Chongzhen (1642) of Ming Dynasty, he was elected in Renwu section, and then in the 6th year of Shunzhi (1649) of Qing Dynasty, he became a scholar. It's convenient to teach the doctor of Dazhong and take the simple form. Later transferred to Guangdong Qiongzhou Fu Xian Xian and governor to learn politics. When Lin Sihuan took office, he was in the early Qing Dynasty. The country had been unified and the economy had been restored. Therefore, many foreign businessmen came to China to trade. However, some local officials acted recklessly for their own interests. A foreign businessman transported goods to zhuya. Local officers wanted to kill and rob the goods because they were greedy for the goods on board. When Lin Sihuan knew about it, he resolutely stopped it. He said: "although I am a scholar, at least I am sent by the imperial court. I have the right to take charge of this matter. If you kill people for personal interests, it will cause discord between the country and foreign countries. Even if I die, I will not let you do it!" The local officers had no choice but to send the foreign businessmen home. At that time, the two local forces of "San Francisco", Shang Kexi, king of Pingnan, and Geng Jingzhong, king of Jingnan, were both in Guangdong. They indulged their subordinates and oppressed the common people. Lin Sihuan hated this kind of thing most. Once he caught and whipped the soldiers who oppressed the people, and let go the innocent people. Governor Li Duanwu led the soldiers to rush into the official office to catch Lin Sihuan. Lin Sihuan stretched his neck and said, "if you want to kill me, kill me! Don't say more! If I were afraid of death, I would not flog the criminal soldiers! " Li Duanwu knew he was wrong, so he had to leave bitterly. When Lin Sihuan was an official, he took a series of measures beneficial to the people, such as prohibiting the employment of slaves, forbidding the capture of people and confiscating troops, forbidding one person to commit a crime and implicating the whole family, etc. He also suggested that the army should open up wasteland to reduce the burden of the people. These measures proposed by Lin Sihuan won the support of the people, and also violated some officials. They put some unnecessary charges on Lin Sihuan's head, and Lin Sihuan was arrested and questioned by the imperial court. In front of his boss, Lin Sihuan angrily accused Geng Shang of the crimes of two local forces. As a result, Geng Jingzhong was transferred to Fujian, and Lin Sihuan was also dismissed as a civilian and exiled to the frontier. Later, he was granted amnesty. Since then, Lin Sihuan has been living on the Bank of Hangzhou lake.
