Huang Dongfa, a famous philosopher in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Huang Zhen, a famous scholar in the late Southern Song Dynasty. Huang Zhen was born in the East and is called Mr. Yu Yue. He is from Cixi. Now there is an old bed bridge in Huangjia Village, Zhang Qi Town, which is said to be the place where Huang Zhen studied in his childhood. Huang Zhen was born in Jiading, Southern Song Dynasty for six years (12 13), and entered the academy at the age of 43. He was honest and upright all his life, not afraid of powerful people. Despite repeated setbacks, they are firm and indomitable. For example, in the third year of Xian Chun (1267), when he was a local official, he was promoted to a history museum because of his political discourse power, and participated in the compilation of national history and local chronicles in Ningzong and Li Zong dynasties. In July of the following year, because he bluntly pointed out that the great disadvantages at that time were that the people were poor, the soldiers were poor, the money was not much, and the literati were shameless, he was still very serious after he joined the Guangde Army. There is a ancestral temple, where hundreds of thousands of people come every year to worship God and kill cows as sacrifices. There are frequent fights, which affect agricultural production and the unity among villagers. In sacrificial activities, there are also customs of wearing chains and copying to pray for the blessing of the gods. Seeing this, Huang Zhen ordered one of them to confess. The man said, "I didn't commit a crime." Huang Zhen sharply reprimanded: "You must have many sins, because you dare not tell others, in order to seek forgiveness from the gods!" " "It was he who ordered public punishment until the other party shouted" Spare my life ". Since then, obscenity and immorality have been eliminated immediately. Soon, Jia, the magistrate, went to court and was sued by Jia to his uncle Jia Sidao, who was in power at that time. As a result, he was accused of "contempt of politics" and was dismissed from his post. In the seventh year of Xianchun (127 1), Huang Zhen was appointed as Fuzhou well-known. At that time, Fuzhou was in famine, and the people were displaced and desolate. Rich rice merchants took the opportunity to hoard food, raise food prices and make a fortune. Huang Zhen's bicycle came at a gallop. Without entering the State Council first, he began to handle official business in the post office, and posted notices everywhere, which immediately suppressed the price of rice. Then, he personally cooked porridge to help the victims and rewarded those who contributed to the disaster relief, which quickly stabilized the situation. In Fuzhou, Huang Zhen also did two important things: First, there were a group of prisoners who had been imprisoned for 28 years for resisting arrest through customs clearance, and only half of them were alive, so it was related to Shangshu Province, and no one dared to decide to close the case. After investigation, Huang Zhen pointed out that customs clearance was not an insurrection, and after many amnesties, he boldly released them all. Second, Fuzhou originally had a "kindness bureau", which was originally set up for the adoption of abandoned babies. Over time, it will exist in name only. Huang Zhen suggested that it's better to save it for the last time than to abandon it and then adopt it. So the old law was improved, so that truly poor and fertile families could apply for official support; Abandoned babies are allowed to be adopted by others and receive official subsidies. In this way, many babies were saved. De? In March of the first year (1275), Huang Zhen was transferred from Jiangxi to eastern Zhejiang. At that time, He Ming and the salt people in Shiyan held a large-scale riot because they could not bear the exploitation of officials, and fled in large numbers after being suppressed. Huang Zhen was ordered to dispose of it. He went deep into the salt field and made repeated investigations, knowing that it was completely the official who forced the people to rebel. On the one hand, he truthfully reported the situation to the court, on the other hand, he began to recruit the fleeing salt people in many ways and returned the salt-drying expenses owed by the government over the years to 665,438+3,000 yuan, thus quelling a storm of "a thousand miles of shock". The Biography of Huang Zhen in the History of Song Dynasty said that he was "absolutely imprisoned in prison, and the lawsuit of the people was as impressive as that of God"; JuGuanHeng didn't see things clearly, and made a decision. If people are in trouble, they will be stingy. "It should be said that these statements and comments are very conclusive and fair. After the collapse of the Southern Song Dynasty, Huang Zhen lived in seclusion in Zeshan, and now in Tian Yang Township, he took the name of "Zeshan Hangguan" and the room as "Home" to concentrate on sorting out his works. Although Zhu is the originator of his philosophical thought, he did not stick to the rules, but developed a new way and systematically expounded it, forming the "Oriental School". He advocates that reason is the "natural reason" of "all things are born in four seasons"; Explaining "Tao" as a common way of daily life, denouncing Taoism for talking about the mystery of "human heart" and "Tao heart", his sons Huang Menggan, Huang Ruya and Huang Ruying, as well as his scholar Zhu Chen, all paid attention to the textual research of classics and spread the thoughts of the Eastern French School to Fujian and Zhejiang. Huang Zhen's "Dongfa Ri Chao" (one called Huangshi Ri Chao) is a reading note full of Swiss language philosophy and a representative work of Dongfa School. There are other books, such as Summaries of Ancient and Modern Times, Compilation of Summaries of Ancient and Modern Times, Biography of Chen Wuxiu, Reading and Learning, Collection of Rites, Collection of Explanations in the Spring and Autumn Period, etc. In the eighteenth year of Yuan Dynasty (128 1), he died in his hometown at the age of 69 (Song Case said that he starved to death in Yinxian Mountain), and his master married Mr. Wen Jie privately and built Hushan Academy to commemorate him. This bedridden bridge was originally a mud bridge, but later generations have changed it into a stone bridge, spanning the Kriber River. The East-West Bridge has the titles of "Guchuang Bridge" and "Hulong Bridge" respectively. The East Bridge Gate and the West Bridge Gate are engraved with couplets: "Weichuan is the hometown of celebrities, and there is a clear stream of ancient pu on the embankment." "Seeing the scenery of cooking smoke is different from the past, I want to linger today." It has become one of the three mountain monuments. There is also the site of Hushan Academy in Hushan Village, Tian Yang Township. Especially in 1975, Huang Zhen's epitaph was unearthed in Xibutou Village, Heming Town. It describes Huang Zhen's life story in detail, which can supplement the lack of official records. It is a very precious cultural relic and is now collected by the Municipal Cultural Management Committee. Ma, a martyr of the Revolution of 1911, was originally named posthumous title. Born on March 30th, 1884, he is now from Han Zong Village, Han Zong Town. His grandfather and father are both righteous men in Ren Xia, and they have a good reputation in the local area. When Ma was young, he was influenced by his family. His love and hate were clear, and he was brave and fearless. /kloc-at the age of 0/5, Ma entered Dashan School. With the broadening of his knowledge, he was saddened by the corruption of the government and the aggression of foreign powers at that time, and often sang Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong" to express his ambition to serve the country. In order to overthrow the Manchu dynasty, he not only insisted on reading, but also exercised and learned English every day, showing unusual ambitions since he was a child. 1902, Ma was admitted to Zhejiang universities and made many warm-blooded young people. 1904, he reluctantly obeyed the orders of his grandfather and father and was admitted to a scholar, but he was not interested in his official career because he was bent on revolution. After returning to China, I taught in Sanshan School for two years, during which I bought revolutionary books and periodicals many times and distributed them in my school and hometown. At that time, the revolutionary trend of opposing the Qing Dynasty and saving the nation had gradually taken shape. The revolutionary actions of Qiu Jin, Xu Xilin and others kept the horse awake at night. 1September, 905, he heard that Xu Xilin founded Datong School in Shaoxing, so he went to visit and was introduced by Xu to participate in the Guangfu Association. 1906 1, went to Japan to study military affairs with Xu Xilin and Chen Boping, but returned to China in May because of the obstruction of the Qing government embassy in Japan. After returning home, Ma wanted to study in Germany with Xu Xilin and Chen Boping, but his grandfather died and he couldn't go. Ma was in his hometown, and his heart turned to the revolution. He invited friends many times to make political propaganda by talking about the current situation. 1907 At the beginning of this year, Ma was very excited to learn that Xu Xilin had donated Anhui Taoist priests as planned and entered the Qing government. I wrote back two letters saying that I would go to Anhui in the first month of the lunar calendar. Later, due to illness, it was postponed to June 10, and Chen Boping and I went up the river from Shanghai. In Anqing, Xu Xilin was promoted to the governor's office and patrolled the school, and made an appointment with Qiu Jin to start an uprising in Anhui and Zhejiang at the same time on July 8. The arrival of the horse made Xu Xilin even more powerful, and everyone immediately split up to prepare for the uprising. On June 22nd, Ma was ordered to go to Shanghai for final consultation with Qiu Jin and buy weapons. Ma and Chen Boping returned to Anqing on July 5, and Xu Xilin informed them that the uprising was advanced, just tomorrow. Ma Hanzong knew that this change must be sudden, and he didn't ask too many reasons. He has just renegotiated all the preparations for the uprising. After Ma's sacrifice, Cai Yuanpei, Tao and other anti-Qing fighters wrote articles to express their condolences. After the Republic of China, Kedong Town, the hometown of martyrs, was renamed Han Zong Township, which expressed the people's deep memory of the martyrs. Nowadays, the former residence of martyrs has been listed as a cultural protection unit, and people pay tribute to the martyrs' achievements every festival. Wu Jintang, a patriotic overseas Chinese businessman in Wu Jintang, is a famous patriotic overseas Chinese businessman in modern times. 1855165438+1October 14 was born in Xifang Village, Jinguan Town. I have been farming for generations and my family is very poor. When I was a child, I went to a private school for two years, and then I studied with my uncle who was a teacher after ploughing, so that I could read a little. 1882 went to Shanghai hongmiao cuifeng oil candle shop to do housekeeping, taught himself arithmetic and management methods, and won the appreciation of the owner. Three years later, with the support of my friends, I went to Japan and settled in Nagasaki. After four years of steady development, I have gained a firm foothold in the fierce business competition in Japan. Finally, Kobe, a famous commercial port, was chosen as its commercial center. At the same time, Yisheng foreign firm and Yusheng foreign firm were also established in Shanghai, and their business became more and more prosperous. In just a few years, they have accumulated hundreds of thousands of capital, and they are proficient in business relations, business experience and capital strength, so they began to set up industries and engage in financial activities. He organized East Asia Cement Co., Ltd., Onota Company and Osaka Knitting Company. In Japan, he became a famous businessman in Kobe and Osaka and a big shot in Kansai financial circles. So that the news media reports about his whereabouts often affect the fluctuation of the stock market. According to his own personal experience and personal experience in Japan, Wu Jintang believes that "Japan's prosperity depends entirely on education". 1905 invested in the construction of Jintang school. The school is located near the former residence of Mr. Jintang. The main building is a two-story mouth-shaped villa, with red walls and white mortar caulking, which stands tall and stands out in the wilderness. Between the building in the north and the hill, an artificial pool was dug, and a new river was built on the east, west and south sides. On a large piece of land, high-rise mulberry fields set each other off, and the playground is surrounded by rivers, which looks lush and beautiful. The school was completed in 1908, and it officially enrolled students in 1909 1 month. In order to ensure the regular education funds of the school, Wu Jintang bought 1.200 mu of farmland and donated 40,000 yuan of shares of Hanyeping Company and Zhejiang Railway Bureau to the school. It also stipulates that all the property of the school will always belong to the school, and Wu's descendants shall not interfere with it for an excuse. On April 8, 1909, the school held its inaugural meeting, and Wu Jintang personally spoke at the meeting, representing more than 1,000 people. The number of students at that time was 360, and its scale was obvious. Mr. Cai Yuanpei, a famous educator in China, and Wu Jintang, Chen Jiageng and Nie Yuntai are also called "the three saints of running a school". In order to establish a school, Wu Jintang has invested more than 200,000 silver dollars, which is three times of the total investment in water conservancy. He also focused on the needs of social industry and focused on cultivating talents in agriculture. 19 1 1 year, Jintang School was renamed Jintang Agricultural Middle School, offering undergraduate courses in agriculture and sericulture. Scholars with expertise have also been hired as teachers, and the lineup is neat, which has trained many outstanding agricultural professionals for the country. Although Wu Jintang is a businessman, he is very concerned about the fate of the motherland. 1905 In August, the Tokyo Alliance of Japan was established, and there were alliance activities in Kobe soon. In order to support Sun Yat-sen's revolution, Wu Jintang lent his private house to the League many times to support Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary activities. 1913 March 14, Wu Jintang warmly welcomed Sun Yat-sen as the minister of Kobe branch of China Kuomintang in Biezhuang, and took photos with Sun Yat-sen and Song Jiashu (the father of Soong Ching Ling). After zhang xun restoration, Wu Jintang expressed his opposition to feudal monarchy for the first time at the meeting, which was unanimously supported by the participants. During the Revolution of 1911, Wu Jintang donated 2,654,380 yuan and more than 5,000 yuan of silver to the military governments in Shanghai and Ningbo. At the moment when warlords were fighting and the country was ruined, Wu Jintang repeatedly took out huge sums of money to help refugees, reaching Beijing and Tianjin in the north and Guangxi in Fujian in the south, and was called "lucky star" and "living Buddha" by the masses. 19 10, Wu Jintang sent people to choose a cemetery near Baiyangdian, and Zhang Jian wrote an inscription and Zhang Taiyan wrote a tomb table. In order to express his love for agriculture and patriotism, he wrote a pair of couplets: "Love the lake and love the mountain, you can bury your bones, regardless of Feng Shui. "1926 14 10/4, Wu Jintang died of acute pneumonia in Yanghe villa in Kobe, Japan, at the age of 72. On his deathbed, he repeatedly urged that his body should be transported back to the motherland and buried in his hometown.
