Life of the characters

Shashen's family is relatively poor. According to the literature, he was "less responsible for his talents, more diligent and self-motivated." In 1780, at the age of 21, Shachen became an official. He successively served as Huaiyuan, Huoqiu, Jiande county magistrate and Lu'an Prefecture magistrate in Anhui Province. Qing Jiaqing eight years (1803) transferred to Huaining County Magistrate, came to Anqing. At the beginning of Shachen's term of office, the people suffered from floods in Anqing. The gentry Wang Daben, Liu Chengxiang, Wang Wenzhi, Zhang maocai and others jointly petitioned for the construction of Jiangwei to alleviate the waterlogging in the depression along the river. Shachen quickly approved the request and decided to take charge of the construction project. On the one hand, he sent his county officials to raise funds everywhere, and on the other hand, he led people to survey the water regime and topography and make plans. After that, the army and the people were organized to build a dyke along the river about 70 Li long from Rendian to Xinhekou day and night. In the dyke, Yongfeng, Yuyuan and Yongding three culverts were built, which could not only discharge waterlogging, but also divert water from the river for irrigation. After the completion of the dyke, ten thousand mu of fertile land in the dyke will benefit. In order to appreciate Sha Chen's virtue, the scholars and the people called it "Sha Gong Wei". However, Sha Chen refused to accept it and named it "Guang Tai Wei", which means enjoying peace. Later, Sha Chen was involved in the Huoqiu case and was relegated. After hearing the news, scholars from Huaining, Huaiyuan, Jiande and Lu'an gathered at the governor's Yamen to plead for mercy, and spontaneously donated money to make atonement for Sha Chen. Seeing this, the governor of Anhui Province was shocked and immediately asked the imperial court to finally "grant him an exemption from the fine and make him return to custody". In 1809, Shashen returned to his hometown and ended his short official career.

Poetry achievement

Shachen is a talented poet. Some of his poems reflect sympathy for the working masses and dissatisfaction with the exploitation system. Li Ye, a famous poet in Yunnan, commented on Sha Shen's poems and said, "it's hard for a so-called poet to meet him once in decades or hundreds of years. Vermis in remote areas, such as my hometown? And I can see Mr. Taihe shaxianru. At the age of Jiaxu, I read all the poems such as a journey to the barren mountains. I was very angry and emotional, and I was far away from the masses. After that, there was an inscription. Ding Chou, at the end of the year, has several recent works. Reading it, his Qi is as strange as ever, his feelings are as good as ever, and so are his many outliers. A poet! The point of Cangshan, West Erhe Lingxiu Zhongshu, and the occasion of Zhengyuan meeting, Sheng Hu! My hometown is full of people. However, they were all offered as if they had been put to rest after 50 years of age. And its weekly tour of scenic spots, friends with the virtuous, exuberant, irrepressible, all so see. If you are a man of this kind, you will find more time to put yourself in a noisy and narrow place. How can you use your heart to be humble and despicable in the realm of returning to others? If I don't know him, but I read his poems, I will take it as the work of a famous general in his prime. And offering is as good as solid! " It can be seen that Sha Shen's views on human nature and poetic style are more important than those of his time.
