The legendary life of Wu Yi, a famous scholar and epigrapher of Yanshi

Wu Yi (1745-1799), a Qing Dynasty scholar and scholar, was a clean and honest official. He wrote a great deal of books during his lifetime.

　　Wu Yi's parents died in his teens, and his family was in difficulty, but he studied hard. In the thirty-fifth year of Qianlong (1770), Wu Yizhong was raised, in the forty-fifth year (1780) Zhongjinshi, and in the fifty-sixth year (1791) he was awarded the title of ZhiXian of Boshan County. Boshan County has many thin mountains, he makes full use of local mineral deposits, actively leads the people to produce self-help, and he also opens Fanquan Academy in the county, selecting good scholars for training to promote the development of local culture. He is diligent in government affairs, handles cases in the county as he pleases, never delays, and can handle them impartially, severely reprimanding those who pay bribes. Therefore, he arrived shortly after his appointment, Boshan Dazhi.

　　Wu Yi is not only a clean and upright official, but also upright and not afraid of the powerful. In the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong (1792), the military chancellor and Yan Bingzheng, whose power was tilted toward the opposition, and his disciples secretly left Beijing from the Capital Division under the pretext of arresting important criminals. More than 10 people, led by Du Chengde, ran amok in Boshan. Wu Yi heard this and personally took them all in. Du Chengde was arrogant and was reprimanded by Wu Yijian. Inspector Jiqing, fearing that he would affect himself, dismissed Wu Yi on trumped-up charges of "abusing civilians." Because Wu Yi was a clean and impartial official, when he dismissed the official, thousands of people in Boshan spontaneously organized themselves and went to the patrol hall to ask for his life. Ji Qing was touched and personally went to Beijing to overturn the case for Wu Yi. The university scholar Ah Gui rebuked Ji Qing: "If you ban ban bans from Gyeonggi, why not blame the county for ordering the law according to the law, and impeach the strong officials in hiding the facts? Ji Qing was deeply remorseful. However, due to hezhen's suppression, the unjust case was never filed.

　　After succeeding to the throne, the Great-He-Yan was corrected. In October of the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799), the Jiaqing Emperor ordered his courtiers to recommend talented people to serve as magistrates, and Wu Yi was among the recommended. In November, the emperor sent someone to summon Wu Yi to Beijing to prepare for reuse, but Wu Yi died in October.

　　Wu Yi was included in the "Qing History Manuscript Ru Lin Biography", which is well-deserved. Indeed, he was a very accomplished scholar. On the one hand, he was familiar with the history of the Scriptures and taught apprentices; on the other hand, he also devoted himself to writing books and teachings. In his lifetime, he left more than 100 volumes of writings, including 7 volumes of "Qunjing Yizhi", 9 volumes of "Scripture Reading and Examination", 10 volumes of "Three Books of Jinshi", 14 volumes of "Continuation of Jinshi Texts", 4 volumes of "Records of Jinshi", 13 volumes of "Records of Jinshi", and "Records of Teachings" and "Collected Poems". His works are widely collected and carefully deliberated, and their academic value is extremely high. Wu Yi also edited the "Yanshi County Chronicle", "County Chronicle", "County Chronicle" and so on.
