If the law is true

FA ruozhen (1613-1691), a Han Confucian, is named Huangshan and Huangshi. His ancestral home is Jinan. His ancestors worked in Jiaozhou during the reign of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, so his descendants settled in Jiaozhou City as their hometown. FA ruozhen's father, FA Huan, was very knowledgeable, especially interested in the study of classics and history. He had a lot of opinions on the four books and the spring and Autumn Annals. He quit his official post and returned home. He set up a school in yiyunling in the south of the city. He took teaching as a career and created a large number of useful talents in Jiaozhou.

Profile

Farozhen (1613-1691) was born in Jiaozhou, Shandong Province. Good at painting and calligraphy. Calligraphy and painting in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the strokes are flying. Elegant landscape painting, occasionally involved in the pen, then natural and unrestrained out of the vulgar, self-contained.

Influenced by his family, farozhen was eager to learn when he was a child. He had received early education from a good scholar family. He once lived in seclusion in Shimen temple, a thousand year old temple at the foot of Dazhu mountain, studying hard. Now there is a statue of farozhen reading in the temple. In the third year of Shunzhi (1646), he and his elder brother ruozhen became Jinshi in the same middle school and were awarded the Imperial Academy editor.

Later, farozhen worked in Fujian, Zhejiang and Anhui successively. He sympathized with his subordinates, promoted the advantages and eliminated the disadvantages, and made the government clean and honest. Once, five counties in Anhui Province, such as Lingbi, suffered a poor harvest, and the people were in dire need of livelihood. He went to Shangshu to ask for tax relief in five counties. After being refused by the Ministry of rites, he was willing to break up his family to pay rent and tax on behalf of the victims, which was praised by people. In the eighteen years of Kangxi (1679), several ministers jointly recommended FA Ruo, who was really knowledgeable in the subject of macro CI. From then on, faruozhen abandoned his official position and lived in Huangshan for 30 years. Shangzhuang village, Baoshan Town, Huangdao District (Jiaonan), had his descendants. Later, he returned to Jiaozhou and died a year later. He was buried in the northeast of Lanxi village, Yinzhu sub district office, Huangdao District (Jiaonan). As we all know, it is called the tomb of the Legalists. The cemetery is spectacular, and there were stone horses. Shiyang and other landmark buildings were stolen in 1948 and destroyed during the cultural revolution.

official career

In 1645, he took part in the examination. At that time, the Ministry of rites had asked the emperor to approve the abolition of the five classics proposition examination, but if FA Ruo really didn't know about it, he still used the five classics proposition for 20 articles. The examiner regarded his article as extraordinary, so he sealed his examination paper and recommended it to the emperor as a "genius". After the imperial examination, he was appointed neihanlin, and was awarded zhongshushe by the examination of the National Academy of history. In the next year, he became a Jinshi, a good scholar, and was the editor of Hanlin Academy. In 1648, he served as the chief examiner of the Wuzi branch in Fujian Province. After returning to Beijing, he was promoted to the Secretary's college. He mastered six chapters and was responsible for drafting and writing articles. During this period, he was also ordered to compile the record of emperor taizongwen. After that, he was released to work in Zhejiang Province. Because of his father's death, he left his post to serve filial piety. After the period of filial piety expired, he took up the post of the Department of cloth politics and history of Fujian Province to participate in politics. In 1662, the first year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, faruozhen returned to Beijing to meet Emperor Kangxi and was promoted to the post of inspector general of Zhejiang Province. After taking office, he carried out the law impartially, discriminated between the right and the wrong, and concluded the 10-year accumulated cases in Quzhou prefecture (now Quxian County, Zhejiang Province). Soon after, governor Zhu Dingzuo consulted him about the advantages and disadvantages of Zhejiang's government affairs, and FA ruozhen put forward seven strategies: "the tax books should be controlled by the grain chief to eliminate the disadvantages of petty officials exploiting the common people by collecting local money and grain; he was responsible for the supplement of military salaries; he was responsible for wentaining road to choose the key points of the navy to guard against the invasion of the pirates; he strictly implemented the Baojia system to fight against the pirates; he was responsible for reclaiming wasteland to appease the new immigrants, and he was responsible for defending In order to carry forward the clean and honest style of government, it is necessary to eliminate the boundary disputes among civilians, prohibit heavy servitude, and remove corrupt officials. " Zhu Dingzuo adopted and implemented all of them.

During the period when farozhen was promoted to the post of Jiangnan Anhui minister, he paid special attention to the national economy and the people's livelihood in dealing with government affairs, and did not disturb the people for minor matters. According to the Convention, the land taxes collected by the state officials were not enough, and the political envoys had to send officials to the States and counties to urge the collection. However, faruozhen thought that this method would cause more trouble to local governments and farmers, so he created three methods of official document collection, namely "wind, fire and thunder", and no longer sent officials to supervise the collection. This law is supported by the state and county, and imitated by all provinces. One year, five counties in Anhui Province, such as Lingbi and Xuyi, suffered from poor harvests, and the people were in dire need of livelihood. The governor did not dare to give permission, so he handed it over to the Chief Secretary for re investigation. According to his verification, the governor agreed to exempt the five counties from tax, but was obstructed by the Ministry of household. Faruozhen sympathized with the common people and paid taxes on behalf of the victims in five counties.

achievement

poems

Farouzhen has a political voice. Although his knowledge is extraordinary, his poetry, calligraphy and painting are really famous in the world, and his literary talent is valued by people. His poems are "immortal" (Ji Yun), detached from vulgarity, expressing his own temperament and unique style. He is highly praised by the poets of "Xingling school". He called his poems "to express Qi because of emotion, to express voice because of Qi, and to draw CI because of sound". FA ruozhen's articles are also unusual, "either Zhuangzi or banter, singing and weeping", "all kinds of styles come out, and changes are endless", which were praised by the literary colleagues in the early Qing Dynasty as "the most respected home in the world of Ci Poetry" and "the great master in the literary world".

Painting and Calligraphy

FA ruozhen also made great achievements in painting and calligraphy. He is good at landscape painting. His large-scale works are unrestrained, changeable and magical. The small fan paintings are vigorous, elegant and interesting. Occasionally he would paint flowers and birds, with a distinctive style.

Calligraphy

If FA Ruo was really good at calligraphy, he learned the charm of "Zhong Wang" in Wei and Jin Dynasties, but failed to follow the yuan and Ming Dynasties. He was good at Xing, Zhuan, Cao and Kai, and showed his unique style. Running script "has the tendency of Luan stopping and crane standing", cursive script "is huge, powerful and soul".

FA ruozhen was one of the few literati who had made great achievements in poetry, calligraphy and painting in Shandong Province in the Qing Dynasty. Under his influence, his children and grandchildren inherited family studies and made great achievements, and produced a number of influential intellectuals. The farozhen family in Jiaozhou and Shandong are worthy of attention.
