Hong Liangji, a Qing Dynasty person, died at the age of 63, and his original name was Lian, also known as Li Ji. There are two words--Junzhi and Zhicun, the number Beijiang, when he was old, he was called a gengsheng resident. He is a Yanghu native, and his ancestors are from Anhui. This is the most basic part of Hong Liangji's profile.

The following is the biography of Hong Liangji in Hong Liangji's introduction. Hong Liangji's ancestor's hometown was in Anhui, and there was a son who entered Changzhou, so he settled in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. Hong Liangji fell to the ground in 1746, and grew up with only the company of his mother, who died early. However, Hong Liangji read very seriously, and he was particularly good at public opinion and was appreciated by many people. Unfortunately, Hong Liangji took the imperial examination several times in a row, but did not win once. Before and after, he went to Anhui, Shaanxi and other places to serve as an official, but still did not give up the imperial examination. It was not until 1790 that Hong Liangji was fortunate enough to win a jinshi at the age of 44, so the official position was different, and he was promoted to the Hanlin Academy, the Chongguo History Museum, and so on.

At the age of 46, Hong Liangji worked as a township examiner and later went to Guizhou to do things. At the age of 49, Hong Liangji returned to the capital and worked in the upper study. At the age of 52, Hong Liangji wrote a letter criticizing the government of the dynasty, and the imperial court tabooed him, and he also knew that he had returned to his hometown under the pretext of his brother's death. At the age of 53, he was favored by the university scholar Zhu Gui and hired to compile and revise the Records of Emperor Gaozong. It was also this year that he wrote to the imperial court again, and this time the imperial court was angry, and originally intended to cause the death penalty, but later relegated to 100 days in Ili, Xinjiang, and then returned to his hometown in Changzhou. At the age of 63, Hong Liangji died of illness.

Hong Liangji's profile also includes Hong Liangji's achievements in literature. The works written by Hong Liangji are, first, they have temperament, and second, they are good at writing scenery, and they are also very good at writing piao style texts. Among them, the more famous ones are "Beijiang Poetry", "Tianshan Song" and so on.

What kind of person Hong Liangji is

The historical Hong Liangji angered the Jiaqing Emperor because he bluntly said in front of the Jiaqing Emperor that the emperor's inadequacies were in the letter, and Jiaqing imprisoned him and convicted him of a capital crime, and when his life was hanging on the line, the Jiaqing Emperor pardoned him of the capital crime and exiled Ili instead, and was released to return home after a hundred days of exile.

Throughout Hong Liangji's life, it can be described as ups and downs. So what kind of person is Hong Liangji? Why did the Jiaqing Emperor put him to death and then forgive him for his sins?

The reason why the Jiaqing Emperor wanted to sentence Hong Liangji to death was to play a deterrent role in killing one hundred people. After he killed Hezhen and opened the way, more and more officials began to write letters accusing the emperor of various deficiencies, and the phenomenon of lax discipline was the evil result of the emperor's inaction, and the words implied criticism. Hong Liangji is just one of them. The Jiaqing Emperor saw that so many people were not inferior to him, so he used Hong Liangji as a precedent and convicted him, so that others did not dare to accuse him of excessive words.

From this history, we can see what kind of person Hong Liangji is. He was an ordinary official, but his luck was not good, and he was taken by the Jiaqing Emperor to kill him. After his pardon, Hong Liangji devoted himself to the study of literature and wrote many articles, some of which were about the dangers of rapid population growth, and was one of the first scholars to study demography. At this point, it is not difficult to see what kind of person Hong Liangji is, his optimistic and positive attitude towards life has made his original unfortunate life have extraordinary achievements, even if he is assigned to the frontier, he still does not give up creation, and eventually becomes a famous literary artist.

Hong Liangji's population thinking

Hong Liangji was a Qing Dynasty man, and the policy at that time was "prosperous to breed people, never add endowments", this policy promoted fertility to a certain extent, so the population at that time reached a new historical height. During the Yongzheng period, the policy of "spreading the pool into the temple" was implemented, so that the population and taxation were no longer linked, and a large number of people were levied into the household registration, since then, the population is as difficult to control as the wild horses that have lost their reins, and the proportion of population growth is rare in history, at this time Hong Liangji's population idea was put forward.

The main content of Hong Liangji's population ideology is that he put forward a set of theories of absolute overpopulation that were most in line with the feudal society at that time in the "Zhiping Chapter" and "Livelihood Chapter" in the book "Fables". He believes that the population is growing too fast, but if the corresponding land, housing and resources are not properly improved, it will be a huge disaster, and now it is also confirmed that the growth rate of resources is far from catching up with the growth rate of the population, and the people's living standards will inevitably decline. Hong Liangji's population thinking also proposes that population growth will lead to more social problems, because inflation, a hard-working person may also be unable to maintain a livelihood, and the large number of children of a family also brings more family conflicts.

Hong Liangji's population thinking also proposed how to control the population, he believes that it mainly starts from two aspects, one is the natural aspect, and the other is the man-made aspect. Natural natural disasters and man-made disasters will inevitably lead to a decline in population, but the declining population is very small, so it is necessary for the state to regulate, reclaim wasteland, transfer labor, reduce taxes, and reduce people's pressure as much as possible to achieve the effect of controlling the population.

Hong Liangji lived in a special period of the Qing Dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline, when he was able to gain a keen insight into the impact of population growth and analyze it from many aspects, and this theory is also guiding the development of today's society.

Hong Liangji's achievements

Hong Liangji was a Qing Dynasty writer and scribe. He studied hard and was diligent since he was a child, but his life was uneven. Although he was appreciated in his early years, he never passed the exam, and it was almost middle age that he finally got a good ranking and was able to contribute his ability. In his later years, he also taught the emperor's great-grandson. Hong Liangji's achievements are many, and the famous population theory is one of Hong Liangji's achievements.

Hong Liangji lived in a more awkward period, when the Qing Dynasty began to gradually decline. At this time, most of the officials did not care about the people's livelihood and did not have long-term thinking. During the Qianlong period, China's population grew very rapidly, a phenomenon that had not occurred in all generations. Some of the more astute scholars have noticed that such a phenomenon will affect the future social development, so there is Hong Liangji's population theory, Hong Liangji's proposition is to gradually control the population through a gentle way, rather than the forced and brutal use of violent means, Hong Liangji's population theory is still a warning effect on today's society.

As a literary scholar, Hong Liangji's achievements are also outstanding. Hong Liangji is proficient in vocal rhymes, good at writing poetry and writing piao style, and many of his works are catchy to read and very literary. In addition, Hong Liangji is also a person who loves to travel through mountains and rivers, he has traveled to many places in China, and most of his poems are also related to the great rivers and mountains. During the exile period, he wrote "Anxi Daozhong", "Tianshan Song", "Xingzhi Todai Xue Yishi", "Forty-two Poems of Yili Chronicle", etc., all of which described the scenery outside Saiwai, with unique styles and lyrical borrowings, and are still of great literary value to this day.
