Huang Shuyu

Huang Shuyu

Huang Shuli (1680-1758), named Yupu and Duzhai, was a native of Jindun (Jindun wanjuan tower, Sun Park in Beijing) in tiandaxing, Qingshun. Sun park is located in the west of the glass factory outside today's Heping gate. It is the private garden of sun Chengze, a famous scholar in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties and author of Tianfu Guangji. The garden covers an area of several mu. It ends in the west of Xinhua Street in the East (Li Tieguai street is just to the east of the road). There are 14 "wanjuan Lou" in the garden, which stores sun Chengze's private collection of books. In the courtyard opposite the wanjuan tower, there is "Yanshan hall", a Jinshi in 1709 (48 years of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty), who became the first censor of Taiwan in 1722. Huang Shuli was born in Beijing and died in Beijing. He experienced the ups and downs of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties.

personal information

Born in wanjuan building, Jindun, Daxing, Beijing, he was a senior high school scholar in 1709. Later, he was appointed to the posts of huguangdao censor and zhejiangdao censor. In 1709 (the 48th year of Kangxi reign of Qing Dynasty), Huang Shulin and his brother Huang Shuwan (zixiangpu) were awarded the title of Jinshi of Yichou family, ranking the 12th and 27th respectively. In addition, Huang Shulin (zikunpu) was awarded the title of Jinshi of xinweike as the third (Tanhua) when he was 20 years old (1691). They are known as the Huang family of Jindun in Daxing "Three Jinshi in one discipline".

Personal experience

It is said that there were as many as 500 scholars in Daxing County in Ming and Qing Dynasties. In addition, his brothers Huang Shuqi and Huang Shuyu were elected in 1705 and 1713 respectively, and the Huang family in Jindun, Daxing, was also known as the "Wuzi Dengke". In 1715 (the 54th year of Kangxi reign in Qing Dynasty), Huang Shuli was promoted to the imperial censor. He once served as the censor of city patrol, and was full-time in the east of the capital. The post of censor has been in existence since the Qin Dynasty. It belongs to the nature of supervision and has a low position but heavy power. In the early Qing Dynasty, the duty of supervising the censor was defined as "checking and rectifying the evil officials and the emperor's ear, eye and discipline". The position was set at grade three. In the 16th year of Shunzhi, it was changed to grade seven. In the 6th year of Kangxi, it was upgraded to grade four. In the 9th year of Kangxi, it was reduced to grade seven again. In the 7th year of Yongzheng, it was set as grade five or grade six according to the qualifications. In the 17th year of Qianlong, it was set to grade five again. In 1721, after the end of Zhu Yigui's popular uprising, the Qing government appointed him and Wu Dali as the censor of Taiwan inspection. After arriving in Taiwan in June of the next year, he not only devoted himself to fighting against the remnants of Zhu Yigui, but also toured all over the country to investigate the dangerous passes and sea routes. He wrote eight volumes of "Taiwan envoys' Cha Lu", which is divided into three parts: Chi Jian Bi Tan, fan Su Liu Kao and fan Su Za Ji. Among them, there are six examinations of Tibetan customs, which record in detail Taiwan's mountains, topography, customs and folk customs. This book is the foundation of modern research on the history of Pingpu People. A few days ago, the official document of the Qing Dynasty, the record of envoys from the Taiwan Strait, which proves that Diaoyu Islands belong to China's inherent territory, was exhibited in the Poly Art Museum in Beijing. Scholars have found that "Taiwan envoys Cha Lu" was written by Huang Shuli, the first imperial censor to patrol Taiwan in the Qing Dynasty. It states that officials of the Qing Dynasty arrived at the Diaoyu Islands by sea patrol boat 290 years ago.

Personal events

During his inspection tour of Taiwan before 1722, Huang Shuzhen once recorded that "there is an ocean behind the mountains, and there is a mountain named Diaoyutai in the north, which can berth more than ten large boats, and Xue Polan, who worships Huang, can enter the sampan." According to experts, "Xue Polan" refers to the South Island and North Island of Diaoyu Island. The book "Taiwan envoys' record" also records in detail the cruising situation of the Chinese navy camp in the waters of Diaoyu Islands in the Qing Dynasty. It says that the patrol ship is difficult to drive because of the island's "hidden sand and dangerous reefs" and needs to wait for the tide level to enter the port, otherwise it will run aground or encounter a storm and have no place to berth. It's easier to patrol and park anywhere by taking a few light, flat bottomed sampans to float with the waves.
