Since ancient times, Sanming has been a place of beautiful mountains and rivers and outstanding spirits. There have been many celebrities in all the dynasties. The "Four Sages of Minxue", who are well-known in ancient and modern academic circles, among them Yang Shi, Luo Congyan, Zhu Xi, etc., are all well-known figures from Sanming, and there is no need to repeat them.
In addition, there are six important figures in Sanming who are also famous in ancient and modern times:
Zou Yinglong of Taining, Yuanyuan. In the second year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1196), he held important positions in the local and imperial courts. In the first year of Baoqing (1226), he was appointed as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, and then the Shangshu of the Publication Department. In the first year of Jiading (1208), he served as an important post such as Hubu Shangshu and Rebbe Shilang.
Pei Yingzhang of Qingliu, a jinshi in the second year of Ming Longqing (1568), was appointed as an official Shangshu in the thirty-fourth year of the Ming Wanli calendar.

He successively served as a supervisor of the State ZiJian Bachelor, a waiter in the Ministry of Works, a political envoy of jiaotong cloth and other important positions, and wrote books such as "Rules of Li Taixue" and "The Masters of the Various Divisions".
Will be happy with the soup of the dove. In the twenty-first year (1151) of the Southern Song Dynasty, Shaoxing was admitted to the first place in Wuju Zhuangyuan.
As the saying goes, "one side of the water and soil to support the other side of the people", this feng shui treasure land of Sanming has nurtured many celebrities and bachelors for each dynasty, and I will not elaborate on them here.
Not only that, but in history, there were also emperors and scholars visiting Sanming.
In September 1276, Zhao Yan, the Emperor Duanzong of the Southern Song Dynasty, also passed through Xiayang in Mingxi County, Sanming, and in a small village, dropped a curtain, leaving a good story for thousands of years.
In the first year of Ming Chongzhen (1628), the famous geographer and traveler Mr. Xu Xiake, after an in-depth visit and detailed investigation in sanming's famous mountains and rivers, praised the Jade Void Cave in Mingxi, the Yuhua Cave in Jiangle, and the Taoyuan Cave in Yong'an as the "Three Absolutes of Wuyi".
The ancients said: "The mountain is not high, but the immortal is named." The water is not deep, but the dragon is the spirit." If it were not for the unique beauty of Sanming's landscape, how could the emperor leave a footprint on the country lanes? How could he be so loved and greatly appreciated by Xu Xiake and his old man?
