brief introduction

In his early years, he studied with Feng Guifen. At the age of 20, he was hired by Feng Guifen to compile Suzhou Fu Zhi and collated the bibliography of Tieqin Tongjian Lou with Ye, Guan and Zhai. After passing through the book, he wrote several volumes of Zhou Li Yi Shu and Ming Shi Kao Zheng Yi, which together with ye Changchi and Yuan Baohuang were called "three talents of Suzhou". His wife is Xie Changyuan. In the sixth year of Qing Dynasty (1880), Gengchen became a Jinshi, and he was changed into a Shu Ji Shi to continue to study. He was changed into the head of the household department in a scattered library and made up for the military plane Zhangjing. Because of his admiration for Zhu Rongsheng, Liang Jiean and others, he often said: if I could be a speech officer of the imperial censor, I would be enough. Whenever Wang Songwei saw honest and loyal deeds as an official, he took notes by hand. He took the examination and won the first place. I can't imagine that the military aircraft department failed because of its excellent work and skillful operation. However, Geng Yan's ambition is still strong. Wang Songwei wrote the first draft of the case of impeaching Anhui governor akedachun for embezzlement and embezzlement and falsely claiming money when he bought a Beiyang navy warship. Wang Songwei is a clean and honest official. He was once appointed as a project supervisor. According to the usual practice, the manufacturer presented the bonus due to project saving, but he firmly refused to accept it. He said: although it is a common practice to raise the salary by one tenth, I can't go with the flow. Pan Zuyin and Weng Tonghe are both his teachers, and they are in high positions. However, unless they ask for knowledge, they never visit easily. Pan Gong was pure and upright, and he was strict with others, but he only highly praised Wang Songwei. Wang Songwei also advocated "opening up the virtuous and virtuous, and emphasizing practical learning", hoping that scholars "learn measurement, chemistry, optics,..." And "consulting manufacturing". In 1890, he recommended Cai Yuanpei's examination papers. When the Sino Japanese war broke out in 1894-1895, Weng was in charge of the military aircraft department. Wang actively said: "the military aircraft department is in charge of the war situation, and it should know the terrain of the war zone first. Today, the military aircraft department doesn't even have a map of Korea. Whenever the military situation is reported in front of it, it doesn't even know where the name of the place is. How can it plan strategies and win a thousand miles? "So the military aircraft department ordered Beiyang to enter the map of Korea. However, the figure is simple and easy to use. At that time, Wang Songwei had a friend who came back from Japan with a map of China printed by the Japanese newspaper. All the railways, ports, wires and so on were listed in great detail. Wang Shen sighed: "the enemy is not ready for a day, but we are eager to dig a well, how can we defeat the enemy! "Soon, China failed. He was deeply indignant and depressed. He died in Beijing in July of the 21st year of Guangxu at the age of 48. There is a son, Wang Jilie, and a queen, Ji Chang.
