#Guangxi History #Wang Wensheng Original

Jiang Renheng regretted that he had not been able to achieve a higher reputation, and he pinned all his hopes on his children. In the eighth year of Guangxu (1882), when his eldest son, Jiang Jiyi, the protagonist of this article, was born in the old mansion of Qinglong Mountain in Neijian Township.

According to the rules of the countryside, after the child is born, the adults will take his eight characters to calculate the fortune teller, hoping to understand the blessings and sorrows of his life, avoid disasters and seek good fortune. The fortune teller in the county town saw many people who came to ask for signatures, and at first he did not put Jiang Renheng in his eyes, but when he took Jiang Jiyi's eight characters, closed his eyes slightly, and pinched his fingers to calculate, he suddenly came to the spirit, and his eyes glowed and he took his hand and said: "This child is not simple!" Jiang Renheng was overjoyed in his heart and quickly asked, "What do you say?" The fortune teller ZhenZhen said with words: "The noon year of the decoction of the moon, the day of the Czi, the time of the decoction, the day of the lord C fire, born in the yin moon, through the dry roots, all the way to the water and fire together, just the pattern of the double dragon play beads, the future will be rich and noble." And he galloped into the fate of marlus, must be a teenager. Good boys are determined to be in all directions, and most of them must develop outside in order to show their ambitions. It is just that the fate officers are mixed, and in the future fate, I am afraid that there will be many twists and turns, the fate of the stagecoach, the hard work and running will inevitably be inevitable, the fate of more water and fire, may have to experience more water and drought disasters. When Jiang Renheng heard that his son was destined to be rich and noble, he was naturally very happy, and from then on he had a little more love and concern for this son.

Jiang Jiyi did not appear to be very intelligent when he was a teenager, and in terms of talent, he was inferior to his two younger brothers, Jiang Jiyin and Jiang Jiyao. His second brother, Jiang Jiyao(江吉尧), a famous swimmer, was passed on to Yongquan's uncle at Qinglong Mountain since childhood. Yi Yin, the first virtuous Xiangguo in Chinese history, zuo shang tang destroyed xia, established the Shang dynasty, and ruled the people for more than 50 years, so Mencius said: "Yi Yin, the person who is the person who is the holy one." Historically, Yi Yinju's position as a Yuansheng was on a par with confucius's most holy. Jiang Renheng's third son, Ji Yin, was born in Qinglong Mountain in the fifteenth year of Qing Guangxu (1889), and was brilliant since childhood, and could write poetry at the age of five, and was famous in the township. In the twenty-eighth year of Guangxu (1902), Ji Yin took the hospital examination at the age of 13, and the article was titled "The Ring of Color", although Yin was young, he was able to play beyond the level, and wrote: "The hero of the mountain and the world, because of which he lost the country; The man with the embroidery mouth of the golden heart was discredited because of it. "Guangxi Xuetai Wang Yishu is an old Hanlin, seeing that a 13-year-old child can make such an old and spicy article, he has always been unconvinced, and at this time he was also deeply impressed by Ji Yin's writing, and Dian Ji Yin was the first in the list (Xiu Cai first). As a result, the article was recited for a while and became a good story in Tulin.

Jiang Jiyi is 7 years older than Jiang Jiyin, but Jiang Jiyi looked wooden when he was a child, making people look less precocious. In fact, all this is due to the fact that his father Jiang Renheng disciplined too strictly, erasing the playful nature of children. When he was very young, his mother doted on him, and he was also very naughty and did not listen to the teachings. But his father thought that coddling was a lot of spoilers, so the discipline was unusually harsh. Once, when he and his friends stole a neighbor's peach to eat, his father was very angry and beat him badly. The neighbor persuaded: "It's just a small child, why should it be too strict?" Jiang Renheng said: "The ancients said, don't act with kindness and smallness, don't act with evil and small, don't say, there is still one child, that is, only half a child, and the lesson must be taught." Jiang Renheng believes in good people under the stick.

When the author interviewed Jiang Jiyi's hometown, the local legend still spreads that Jiang Jiyi read the "rice pulp book". The local old man said that Jiang Renheng had too high expectations for his eldest son, and when Jiang Jiyi was two or three years old, Jiang Renheng began to teach him the "Three Character Classic" and "Augmenting the Xianwen", and when he was a little older, he asked him to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, and often checked his homework. What's more, when Jiang Jiyi was studying, his father asked his subordinates to paste Jiyi's left hand on the desk with paste and straw paper, and it was necessary to memorize all the homework he had learned and check it before he could remove the paper and take a break. If not, you can't even go to the toilet when you are in a hurry to urinate. Therefore, Jiang Jiyi has given people a feeling of youth and old age since he was a child. Under his father's nearly strict discipline, Jiang Jiyi can be said to have read poetry and books since he was a child, laying a very solid foundation for his old studies. But Jiang Renheng knew that it was more than enough to teach his children enlightenment, and some of the more profound knowledge was more than enough and insufficient.

In the eighteenth year of Guangxu (1892), when Jiang Jiyi was only 11 years old, he took the boy exam and was admitted to the government-run academy by the Guangxi Tixue envoy, where he was fortunate to receive the careful teaching of the famous Ru Liao Zao in the whole state.

At that time, the full-fledged scholars in the whole state were the most famous in the three schools of Zhao Binglin, Tang Shangguang, and Liao Zao. Zhao Binglin was the person who took the Xin WeiKe Township Examination in the seventeenth year of Guangxu (1891), the deputy list of the XinKouke Township Examination in LiaoZao, and the Tang Shangguang Zhongxin Wei Enke. Jiang Renheng had been with them for many years in Yi chu and was naturally extremely familiar with them.

After the Opium War, the Westerners put forward the idea of "self-improvement" and vigorously set up industries and schools to learn advanced foreign science and technology. In 1888, Zhang Zhidong, one of the representative figures of the Western affairs faction, was promoted to the governor of Liangguang by the Inspector of Shanxi. He asked The Guangxu Emperor to create the Guangya Academy. Guangya Academy, one of the most influential of the many academies founded by the late Qing Dynasty, was one of the most famous academies in the country at that time. Liao Zao studied hard at Guangya College for three years and had a deep understanding of the essence of "middle school as the body, Western learning as the use". Jiang Jiyi was also blessed to be under his disciples.

During Jiang Jiyi's study at the State School, a sensational incident occurred in the State School, guangxu Nineteen years, jeonju Zhizhou Liu Qi was in office, he was originally a person who did not learn and had no skills, and he was able to become an official in Jeonju by bribing his superiors. So at the beginning of his term of office, he thought about how to get the money back as soon as possible. His subordinates, the masters and grandfathers, were violent and violent to the common people, so the people of the six townships of the whole prefecture were miserable and complained. A group of readers from all over the prefecture were entrusted by the people of the six townships to jointly file a complaint with the Guilin Government and the Inspector Yamen. However, at that time, Zhang Liangui, the governor of Guangxi, and Li Hanzhang, the governor of Liangguang, not only did not investigate the matter, but instead removed several Xiucai who took the lead in filing a complaint against the officials.

Suddenly, quan yi shizi was indignant, but there was nothing they could do. Early one morning, on the wall of the yamen of the state capital, a couplet with undried ink appeared, which attracted the crowd of the city to watch, and it was a great pleasure for a while. The couplet reads: "Where the wooden cow is found, it is not merged with the six townships; When the bamboo horses are taken away, the people are exempted from donating money. ”

This couplet beheads Liu's name and cuts off his head, depicting the face of a corrupt official. When the messenger reported that Liu Qi had sent someone to tear off the couplet, the couplet had already been passed down ten or ten times, and soon spread throughout the six townships of Quanyi. Liu Qi knew that this couplet must have been the work of a reader in the city of Zhou, and he sent his troops to take a good look at the State Academy, but found nothing. Because Liu Qi's reputation in Jeonju was so bad, Zhang Liangui and Li Hanzhang had to report to the imperial court and transfer him away to the people in anger.

According to folklore, on the day that Liu Yong left Jeonju City, because there were many people he offended in his daily life, few people were willing to send him, and he sat in a sedan car, and his heart was very depressed. When I was about to march to the Xiangshan Temple, I suddenly heard the noise of gongs and drums outside, and the firecrackers were fired in unison, which was very lively. A servant hurriedly came to report: "Congratulations To the Grand Master, there is a group of people outside the door, and they have come to give you a commendation plaque!" Liu Feng heard the great joy: "Hurry up, there is please!" It was too late, it was fast, only to see a group of people carrying an eight-foot plaque covered with red silk cloth. For the first person dressed as a talent, he lifted the red silk cloth and revealed four large gilded characters that shone with gold: "The sky is three feet high." For the first show, he bowed to Liu Qi and said, "Grand Master Qingtian, this is the heart of the people of the whole state, please laugh at it!" Liu Feng originally did not learn any techniques, he looked at the four big characters on the plaque and asked incomprehensibly: "The sky is three feet high, what does this mean?" Xiucai replied, "That is to say, the people of the people ask for your life and benefit the township, and the county people love you and say that you are a big person who stands tall in the sky." Listening to Xiucai's answer, Liu Qi was overjoyed and busied himself with ordering people to accept the plaque.

Liu Qi was an official in a different place, and he admired this plaque very much, so he took off the original plaque above the lobby that was "mirror hanging high" and replaced it with this plaque with "three feet high in the sky". One day, Liu's boss came to check the work, and as soon as he entered the lobby, he saw the plaque that read, "The sky is three feet high." This boss is a two-ranked scholar and a Hanlin scholar, who is very literate and hyphenated. He said, stuff, how do you hang such a plaque above the lobby? Liu Feng said with a confused look on his face, "This was sent by the people." What, isn't it good?" The old boss was so angry that his white beard trembled: "This is what they are cursing you!" Willow asked, "How can it be scolding me?" The old Hanlin said indignantly, "I scolded you for scraping the ground so hard that it made the sky three feet taller!"

Jiang Jiyi, under the careful teaching of Liao Zao, made rapid progress. Liao Zao often encouraged him to pay more attention to the major affairs of the country and to "read the scriptures and practice his talents." Influenced by his teacher's thought on restoration, Jiang Jiyi during this period not only systematically studied the Four Books and Five Classics, "University Yanyi", "Zizhi Tongjian Compendium", "Famous Ministers of the Past Dynasties" and other subjects, as well as the Eight Strands of Fan Wen and Examination Poems to cope with the imperial examination, and also read a lot of progressive books at that time, such as "Heavenly Speech" and "Chart of the Sea Country", etc., and his horizons were greatly expanded. In 1903, when Jiang Jiyixiang tried to raise people in high school, Liao Zao, as a teacher, wrote a poem congratulating him: "There are three paths in the Gongdao junjia family, and I am deeply ashamed of the false mantle; Gui Gong probed the incense hand twice, and the blue was better than the blue. "Because Liao Zao's highest meritorious name only won the deputy list of people (some say that zengzhong lifted people, but the county records do not record), and Jiang Jiyi has participated in the township examination twice and achieved good results.
