Profile

Ye Shaoyuan was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Tianqi (1625). He was a professor of martial arts in Nanjing, and then moved to Guozi as a teaching assistant. He was an official in charge of the Ministry of industry. Because of his opposition to Wei Zhongxian's castration of the party, he returned to FenHu and lived in seclusion on the ground of his mother's old age. He enjoyed singing with his wife Shen Yixiu and other sons and daughters, and was determined not to become an official. His wife, Shen Yixiu, is the daughter of Shen Liu, the vice governor of the capital. They have eight sons and five daughters. After that, Ye's mother, daughter ye xiaoluan, ye wanwan and his wife Shen Yixiu died one after another, and Shaoyuan became increasingly worried and haggard. In the second year of Shunzhi of Qing Dynasty (1645), he admired Wu Yi's anti Qing feat, but did not have the courage to take part in it. He left Hangzhou with his three sons to escape. He was named Mufu and named Li'an. It was during this period that Jiaxing rizhu was written. It was recorded from 1645 to 1648 that Mr. Tianliao passed away. Jia Xing RI Zhu is also a detailed record of Ye Shaoyuan's last four years. The day's note was filled with hatred of national subjugation, depression and pain. Later, she moved to her grandmother's home in Pinghu, Zhejiang Province, and compiled a book about the dead ministers in the late Ming Dynasty. Before the book was finished, she died sentimentally.

Detailed introduction of works

Hu Yin Wai Shi

This book records what he saw and heard in FenHu area of his hometown, which is not accepted by official history, but it is not "unofficial history", so ye Shaoyuan called it "unofficial history". The book is divided into 38 chapters, which describes in detail the scenery, historic sites, temples, famous philosophers, works, local products, villages, garden villas, bridges, etc. in FenHu area. It is purely a matter of grass and fields, not involving the imperial court. There are also legends of the past dynasties, such as dragon and clam fighting, gold cable, colorful brocade quilt, etc. The content of each chapter is short and concise, and the description is delicate. It is like hearing its voice and seeing its shadow. For example, FenHu got its name from the spring and Autumn period, and became famous since Yang Tieya traveled to FenHu in the Yuan Dynasty and wrote the record of traveling to FenHu. It was only after that that that FenHu became known to the world. The book included Yang Tieya's poems and writings. For example, the chapter "battle merit" directly describes Wu Risheng's achievements in fighting against the Qing Dynasty, "the battle of March 26, 1898 (i.e. the battle of dividing the lake) Chasing north to Pangshan lake for 40 Li, killing 2000 people The water is red and the grass is not green. Yuan haofo, ye Shao, describes the famous eminent monks in FenHu area, such as Dayuan, the eminent monk of xiusizhou temple. In the chapter of local products, the famous products of FenHu water and land are introduced, such as FenHu rice, crab, silverfish, perch, etc. In Mingzhe and other articles, ye Shaoyuan strongly praised the ancient sages (including local officials) and contemporary celebrities who asked for help for the people, were upright and courageous, and made contributions to the local area. He also wrote down the deeds of the common people, such as the Lu's private school, which was set up to give more people a chance to study. There are many similar chapters in Hu Yin Wai Shi, which can be regarded as an important reference for the study of the local history of Hu Yin in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

Jia Xing RI Zhu

Ye Shaoyuan has always had the habit of keeping a diary. His early diary was later compiled into a "chronology". On the way to exile, he still kept a diary. This is "Jia Xing RI Zhu". The diary began on August 25, 1645 (Jiachen). On that day, ye Shaoyuan decided to become a monk. He got his name from the sentence "Jia Zhi Chao Yi Xing" in Chuci. This diary is an actual record of Ye Shaoyuan's exile life. In the diary, the author's heavy feelings about Su Li and Mai Xiu can be seen everywhere. When he saw that "all the prosperous places in the past were rubble", he expressed his deep concern and sympathy for the great pain brought by the war to the people's life. Therefore, when explaining the book of songs to others, he chose three chapters in Du Ren and said: "this is the first chapter It can be imagined that King Ping moved eastward and FengHao Palace Museum was owned by Canrong. "However, compared with Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Canrong directly expressed his resentment against foreign invaders. Ye Shaoyuan, who was concerned about the fate of the nation, often worried that if the alien invaders were not expelled as soon as possible, the common people would get used to the alien rulers for a long time, and forget the humiliation of being invaded and ruled by the alien. In his diary, ye Shaoyuan repeatedly praised those intellectuals who became monks and did not take the imperial examination presided over by the Qing government; at the same time, he paid special attention to those traitors who lost their integrity With bitter criticism and sarcasm, ye Shaoyuan said by the mouth of the ghost, "this is still the Ming Dynasty, so I'm very kind. Don't you read it?" Ghosts still remember the Ming Dynasty. Those who sell their souls for fresh clothes and delicious food have lost their integrity. They are not as good as ghosts. What's more, in his diary, he also recorded his contacts with Wu Yi's anti Qing volunteers, and gave them suggestions. When the anti Qing volunteers won, he cheered for them, but when they failed, he was dejected. At the same time, the diary also records the activities of those who fought against the Qing Dynasty at that time, such as the arrest and sacrifice of Yang Tingshu, such as Gu Xianjian, ye Shaoyuan, who helped him escape the pursuit of Qing soldiers, and later praised him for his bravery in his diary, as well as Gu Xianzheng and other anti Qing volunteers. This diary can be said to record not only the national humiliation, but also the anti Qing of Jiangnan intellectuals in the early Qing Dynasty It is an important historical material of the struggle against the Qing Dynasty. in the diary, it also reflects the interweaving of material shortage and spiritual pain in seclusion life, and the resulting feelings make the readers feel very sorry. For example, the diary on the new year's eve of that year: "a lamp at dusk contains worries about the year of death There is no place to live in Xiao ran, a monk's house, has a bright lamp as a new year's candle Of course, there are many thoughts about his dead wife and children in his diary, as well as descriptions of the living conditions of his sons who became monks with him. There are hardships and joys in them. For example, when he visited Hongji monk, it was cold in winter and there was no firewood for heating. Hongji asked Ye Xie brothers to pick up pine cones instead of firewood. Ye Shaoyuan said with a smile that he didn't know who was the Lord and who was the guest. It was winter. At midnight one day, my nephew Yan zhongri sent a message saying that he had just beaten a wild duck and asked ye Shaoyuan to eat with them. Although he did not go, it was a pleasure. Sometimes, when he is in good health, he takes a walk with his son and talks about literature, Buddhism and other relaxing topics, especially the long praise letters and poems of poet Xu kuangqiu (see influence and research status quo). Ye Shaoyuan lived in Yunlu of his cousin Feng MaoYuan (Jianshan) for a long time after he was exiled to Pinghu. It was recorded in Jiaxing rizhu until September 25, 1648. Two days later, ye Shaoyuan died of poverty, illness and indignation. He was 60 years old.

Wu Meng Tang

In yejiadai (now yezhoucun), Beishe town. According to Yuandi, a genealogy of Ye family in Wuzhong, "Wu Meng Tang is located in fenhubeibin, where Zhong Shao, the head of the Ministry of industry, lives." According to ye Shaoyuan's Chronicles, there is a small building to the west of Wumeng hall, with four windows and plum blossoms around it. The rest is called Shuxiang Pavilion. The south is relatively called "Fang Xue", and the court is not mixed with trees. Besides the plum blossom, only the Wutong and banana plantain are counted. Qiong Zhang is a good house. She lives in the former Pavilion. She writes rhymes and notes. She keeps on singing. Her sisters are friends and teachers Fang xuexuan is ye wanwan's bedroom and study. Ye's house covers an area of more than 30 mu. After the death of Ming Dynasty, Ye's family "scattered and moved to urban and rural areas like clouds, so the old house became a pasture.". In Shengxi Zhuzhi CI written by Liu Shufang of the Qing Dynasty, it is said that "a hundred years of elegant style, several people survive, and there is still a village in the empty wumengtang. As soon as I look at the dusk and the autumn grass, who is the old king and grandson A note after the poem says that "yejiadai is the hometown of Ye's family, and this afternoon the dream hall still has half a wall." In the fifth year of Xianfeng (1855) of the Qing Dynasty, ye xiaoluan VI said in the miscellany of sun yenaiqin: "he went to his former residence to visit the Wumeng Shuxiang site. Although the peak stone is still there, the ancient plum has withered, and there is a sense of being far away from Shu. The place where you live today is the former site of Wumeng hall. The person who inherited Wang's name from your ancestors is the son-in-law of Tianliao Gongsun Jigong." At present, the pile of Chimonanthus praecox is decayed, one branch is clumped, and the branches are still very luxuriant. The two main poles are about 3 meters high, and the crown diameter is about 3 meters. It is a red pistil dog tooth shaped Chimonanthus praecox, which blooms year by year. The Chimonanthus praecox was planted by Ye xiaoluan himself. Shuxiang Pavilion is near the southeast, and its root is still surrounded by three Taihu stones.
