Life of the characters

Yu Fu, Zi Shu. He was born in the fourth year of Qiandao (1168) of the Southern Song Dynasty in Sanyang, the capital of Gutian County. Yu PI, Yu Fu's grandfather, took his young son, Yu Konghui, with him when he was employed as a private school teacher in Ningde county. In the school hall, Kong Hui and he renjuan read at the same table. Renjuan, seeing that the Yu family was poor, often gave money to help her, and fell in love with Kong Hui. Later, he thought that although Kong Hui was poor and ambitious, he married Ren Juan to Yu Kong Hui. When he was pregnant, his brother went to Shanyang to visit his younger sister. He saw that his younger sister's family was short of money and returned to Ningde. He gave birth to a baby boy in his mother's family. This is Yu Fu. Therefore, although Yu Fu's ancestral home is Shanyang, he grew up in Ningde. Yu Fu went to school at the age of seven. At the age of 14, he was taught by Zhang Han, a famous scholar in Ningde (the second year of Qiandao's reign). He studied hard behind closed doors, often to the point that "the pen is dry, the hand is callous, the eyes are sparse, and the eyes are dizzy.". He gradually learned from ancient and modern learning, especially Zhou Li. Uncle Yu Fu, with his nephew's outstanding talent and love, strongly supported him. In 1189, my uncle raised money for Yu Fu and went to Beijing to take the exam. When Yu Fu left for Lin'an (today's Hangzhou), Yu Konghui saw his son off at the Ningde wharf and sang a poem for his son: "father and son follow each other, only learning Confucianism, and they often replace their pens and inkstones with plows and hoes. Now you hold your sword to the danque, and I am poor and conservative. Wine is not drunk, the road is not hesitant. In February of the next year, when the flowers will be in bloom, I'll send you an early letter of peace In the first year of Shaoxi's reign (1190), Yu Fu was a Jinshi of zhonggengxu. During the imperial examination, Zhao Dun, the emperor Guangzong, looked at what he was right about and had brilliant views on state affairs. He called him "straight but not critical" and promoted him to the first place. At the time of Zhuanlu's name singing, there were 587 Jinshi (557 from the history of Song Dynasty and general textual research of Literature). Yu Fu was called in by the emperor Guangzong and took measures against the imperial court. He was very satisfied with his forthright speech and did not attack others. He was promoted to the first place and wrote a poem on the spot: "linxuan counsellors are in vain. If you do not keep your foundation, you will be wise. I'll give you a good advice. Love the people and worry about the country. I'm looking forward to seeing the poem. " Yu Fu was very grateful. He wrote in his poem "he Yu Ci Deng Di Shi": "it's no accident that the wind, tiger, cloud and dragon are strong. I believe that there are many wise people in the prosperous times. Yu Xiang's education was deeply enriched and Han Palace's consultation was first extended. Shi Wu suddenly touched Qiong's feast, and gave poems to listen to Yu Yin Xuan. I love you and worry about your country's life. I dare to take the banquet of King Zhou. " When Yu returned to the palace, he would send his father's kind words to the emperor one by one. Guangzong ordered him to go back to Gutian to pay homage to his ancestors, and granted Hongzhou (today's Nanchang) the rank of military officer. Yu Fu returned home with a plaque and an imperial edict. The imperial edict contains Yu Fu's official titles and letters to his parents. Shanyang's clan wrote a congratulatory message for him: "the family of arbors has a long history of virtue; the flying dragon ranks first, and Gao Mingxuan spreads the legend of the world." "The wind is high on the wings of the ROC, which is strong and strong, and the waves are warm at the top, which is before the change of 500 people." In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jinshi were generally only granted the official positions below Jiupin, but they were only given the junior officials such as Jiancheng and tongduan (the deputy of Zhizhou) by Renzong of Song Dynasty. Yu Fu was first awarded as the magistrate of Hongzhou (now Nanchang, Jiangxi Province), and soon changed his official position and was awarded as the magistrate of the southern army of Xuanyi langqianshu town. Eight years later, Ning Zong called Yu Fu to the National History Museum as a record and review officer, and he went to the Secretary province to write. Yu Fu had been an official for 15 years. When he was in office, he sympathized with the people's situation, built irrigation and water conservancy, restored places of interest, and made outstanding achievements. However, his official position was not high. In November of the second year of Qing Yuan (1196), he was awarded the title of secretary Zuo Lang (zhengbapin) and the reviewer of the Academy of records. Finally tired of officialdom, he retired and returned to his hometown in 1205. When he passed xianxialing, the 18th capital of Ningde, Yu Fu wrote a poem (later generations engraved on the stone wall) saying: "twenty years ago, when I passed here, I was short-lived. When time comes, the mountain scenery is good for people, and I am as broad as the sea. The old story eliminates the dream behind, the new voice is ashamed of the roadside official. I'll take the bus and enjoy my leisure. I'll take the bamboo and silk to see. " Yu Fu built a "Ke Ming Ge" on the left side of Yu's ancestral hall in Shanyang, where he placed the wooden masters who wrote about the taboos of ancestors, Ke Di and officials. Later, a garden was set up in the south of Ningde county. About seven or eight years later, he died in Xiaoxuan building, the South Gate of Ningde county. He was buried in Jinzhang mountain (mingkeng Yujiashan) of jiudugui village, Ningde County, and was worshipped in Xiangxian temple. The original number one place in the county seat has been abolished. He has written 14 volumes of Li Jing Lei Shuo, Zuo Shi Zuan Lei, Ji Li, Feng Ji Zhu, Yu Zhuangyuan Ji and so on.

Main achievements

The first champion in East Fujian

When Yu Fu was appointed as the first judge of Hongzhou, he said in the farewell banquet for Lantian people: "although yunheling is very strange, it is true that Lantian jade is planted. Isn't the galaxy faction passive?" Yu Fu's great grandfather Bang Xian's tomb is in an Dun at the east end of Shanyang village. Shanyang people are commonly known as the tomb of the number one scholar. After he became an official, Yu Fu went back to Gutian to offer sacrifices to his ancestors, built three buildings called "Shi Si Lou" and wrote "Xi'an Shi Si Lou Ji". When he was young, Yu Fu followed his father, who was a student in the library. He followed the road that Zhu Xi had left behind, and came to Changxi, which is now Ningde. The government of the Southern Song Dynasty adopted the national policy of valuing culture over martial arts. "Schools are set up all over the world." poor students also have the opportunity to go to school. The school children "feed the officials every day" and can study in peace of mind. When Yu Fu became an adult, he studied under Zhang Han, a famous Confucian, Neo Confucianist and Ningde liankeng in central Fujian. At that time, the imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty was in a corner, and the political center moved to Hangzhou. It was convenient for Fujian students to go to Hangzhou to take the imperial examination. Therefore, in Fujian Province, there are 7144 Jinshi (recorded in the history of the imperial examination) in the "Song Dynasty". in the past, there was another argument that the Yiling of Ningde county and Gutian County argued about this number one scholar. In fact, it can't stand scrutiny. Gutian County annals can't find any records about the number one scholar. Gutian Shanyang, known as "Lantian" in ancient times, is a village with a long history and rich culture. Lantian river flows slowly from the village and is the source of Aojiang River. According to historical records, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi and other famous people in Tang and Song dynasties had intimate relations with famous scholars in Lantian. Zhu Xi once lived here and set up academies to give lectures. At the foot of Shiyan mountain, 3km northwest of Shanyang Town, there is a magnificent and majestic Yu's cicada forest temple. It was built in the fourth year of Jingde of Song Dynasty (1007 AD). The temple is built in the north and south, with wooden structure, covering an area of 1321.8 square meters. On the central axis are the gate, Huabiao gate Pavilion, lower corridor, front patio, middle hall, back patio and ancestral hall. The main hall has a width of 5 rooms and a depth of 3 rooms. It has a mixed wooden frame with a bucket and a beam. It has a double slope top and a wind fire wall. The couplet on both sides of the ancestral hall door is: "Shizhang, Zhongling, Zhihou, cicada forest, Liuze, Kongchang.". There is a Huabiao gate Pavilion inside the gate, and a ruyi Dougong on the gate, which stands out layer by layer to support the eaves. In the middle of the gate, there is a vertical plaque "zhuangyuanji". In the Square Pavilion, the plaque is "cicada Forest Temple Museum". The museum has a total collection of more than 300 cultural relics. In the main hall of the ancestral hall, there is a six character plaque with regular script: "tanyue master Shangshu hall". There are more than 20 ancient plaques, such as zhuangyuanji, Wenkui, Wukui and Jinshi, hanging on the beams of the ancestral hall. There are 24 pairs of ancient couplets on the columns in the hall, and the whole building is well preserved. In front of the temple, more than 100 square meters of flagpoles stand dozens of flagpoles and stone tablets, which are the witness of the rise of talented people. Entering the vermilion gate, the huadai plaque of "Number One Scholar" is hung on the second entrance of the imperial palace. It is the first plaque of honor of the ninth sun Yufu of Chanlin temple, who was the number one scholar in the first year of song Chunxi and the number one scholar in the whole country. Yu's genealogy collected in the ancestral hall records the deeds of the number one scholar. Yu Fu said in "Xi'an Shi Si Lou Ji" that "my family ascended from the book of history, and all the ancestors of successive generations descended, and all the grandchildren of the 12th generation descended. Each family has its own seal and knowledge, and it has its own glory of a hundred generations.". In addition to Yu Fu, the number one scholar, Yu Jing, Prime Minister of the Ministry of industry, Yu Shen, and Yu Xiang, the Minister of rites, were born among the descendants of Yu's cicada temple. More than 50 Jinshi were also born. why does a family only live in a small village, and there are so many talented people in history. In 968 A.D, Yu Renchun, the sixth generation of the Yu family of Shanyang, told the old man to return to his hometown from Yongzhen (now Luoyuan) county magistrate. Although he chanted "I'm happy to return to my hometown, my family is poor and my body is safe, I have three or five acres of land, and I plant bamboo as fishing rod", he devoted all his life's savings and made every effort to "create a school in a suitable place" in the north of the village The beauty of mountains and rivers, the amount of Lantian. Lantian academy founded by Yu Renchun started as a family school. After many times of reconstruction, it became the highest school in Shanyang. The children of Luoji village went to study in pan. After the completion of Lantian academy, Yu Renchun felt that with a school, he had to provide students with material conditions to go to school. "Ren Chun Gong left more than 70 mu of farmland and 80 stones in the valley at the age of 20" is specially used for reading and tasting by his descendants. These fields are the best paddy fields in pingchou fertile field. The family named them "youdeng fields", which means to add lights to the children who are studying. They can only be cultivated by turns, not sold. They can only be increased, not reduced. After the annual harvest, in addition to the necessary percentage of the cultivator, the rest, except for the annual sacrifice to the ancestors, are all the descendants of the family
