Jiang Rouzhi appreciated him very much and said, "this child will certainly revitalize my family." Jiang GE's father died when he was nine years old. He and his younger brother Jiang Guan lived together in poverty. They had no teachers or friends to accompany them. The two brothers encouraged each other, and their energy of reading never showed fatigue. When his mother died at the age of 16, he was famous for his filial piety. After mourning, Jiang Ge went to Taixue with his younger brother Jiang Guan. He was added as a national student and was rated excellent in the examination.

Experience as an official

Wang Rong, zhongshulang, and Xie Tiao, the official of the Ministry of official, highly praised him. Xie Tiao, once a royal night guard, visited Jiang Ge on his way home. When it was snowing heavily, (Xie Tiao) saw that Jiang Ge was covered with a broken quilt and a thin mat, but he was indulging in his study and was indefatigable (cold). After sighing for a long time, he took off his cotton padded clothes and cut off half of the felt for Jiang Ge as bedding. Because of Jiang GE's ability to govern the country, he was entrusted with the post of prefect of Guangling. At that time, Jiang Ge guarded Pengcheng. After the fall of Pengcheng, Jiang Ge never learned equestrian skills, so he went back by boat and was captured by the Wei people. Yuan Yanming, the governor of Xuzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, heard of Jiang GE's talent and gave him a warm reception. Jiang GE has something wrong with his foot and doesn't pay homage to him. Yanming wanted to kill him, so he asked Jiang Ge to write a memorial to Pengzu. Jiang Ge refused because he had been arrested for a long time and had no mind. Yanming forced him again and again. He said harshly, "Jiang Ge is sixty years old. He can't kill himself to report to the master. Today, he is lucky to die and vows not to write for others." Yanming knew that this would not make him yield, so he cancelled the punishment and only gave three liters of brown rice a day, which could only save his life. It happened that the Wei emperor asked the Liang Dynasty to let yuan Lue, king of Zhongshan, return to the north, so he released Jiang Ge to return to the dynasty. The emperor issued an imperial edict and said, "jiangge, the prefect of Guangling, can be promoted to the rank of Taiwei if he is not afraid in the face of danger."

Moral integrity

Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling, was very arrogant in Dongzhou. Emperor Wu of Liang called Jiang Ge to tell him: "the king of Wuling is young, but Zang Dun is weak. He can't rectify (assist) the king of Wuling. You have to do something like this. Please don't refuse." Most of Jiang GE's disciples were in Dongzhou. When they heard that Jiang Ge was coming, they all met along the road. When he arrived in Dongzhou, Jiang Ge did not accept anything from anyone. He only depended on his official salary, and his food was very simple. Kuaiji county has a large area and a large population, with hundreds of lawsuits every day. Jiang Ge judged and discriminated one by one, and never left unsolved cases. Jiang Ge was rewarded for his meritorious deeds and punished for his mistakes. His actions made the people stable, the officials awed and shocked the whole city. Emperor Wu said, "Jiang Ge is really competent." So he was appointed Minister of the capital. When they were going back to Kyoto, the people were reluctant to give up their gifts. Jiang Ge would not accept any of them. He only took a boat. The cabin of the ship was slanted and could not lie down inside. Someone said to him, "the cabin is not balanced. Crossing the river is very dangerous. We should fill the cabin with heavy objects to make it stable." Jiang Ge had nothing, so he took more than ten stones from the Bank of Xiling and put them in the cabin. This shows that he is so poor.

Soon after, the governor of Wujun was supervised. At that time, there was a shortage of crops in the desert, and the thieves were in business. When Jiang Ge took office in the county, the people were worried that he could not eliminate the bandits. Jiang geguang showed his kindness, ordered his behavior and made laws, and the thieves were finally appeased.

Unfortunate death

At that time, the minister ordered he Jingrong to take charge of the official election, and appointed many non officials. Jiang GE has a strong and upright disposition. He is always praised and criticized, so he is hated by the powerful. So he refused to return to his hometown when he was ill, and was appointed as a doctor of Guanglu. He entertained himself by writing and drinking. He died in February of the first year of Datong. Pang Wuji's maid had no family, so people respected him very much.
