The ancestor of Minzhou, Yang Chang
Wen | Yang Haiyi
Min County is located in the south of Gansu, in the middle reaches of the Tao River, the people are brilliant, and there have been many historical celebrities. For example, the Ming Dynasty jinshi Wang Duo, Liu Shilun, Guo Chengwei, the Qing Dynasty people Chen Ruping, Wang Maode, etc., too many to mention. The ancients not only attached importance to learning, but also paid special attention to filial piety. Because filial piety and Taoism are closely related and inseparable. Humanity, heavenly path, tao law nature, all laws of the same origin. A sage who has read poetry and books, who has achieved fame and achievements, and who has made it his mission to create a party. However, by the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, Min County had produced several more sages.
Fan Jun of Meichuan, Chen Guangyu of Shili and Yang Chang of Qingshui were known as the Three Masters of Education in Min County by posterity! He is the founder of Minxian culture and education, which is admired by future generations. Among them, the deeds of Mr. Yang Chang are widely circulated.
Yang Chang, zi Shuming, a native of Qingshui Township, Min County, was born in Shuxiang's disciple, was gifted and studious, and could compose poetry at the age of nine. He graduated from the First Normal School of Gansu Province in 1928 and studied in the education administration class of Lanzhou Sun Yat-sen University. Since then, he has been engaged in local education for more than 40 years. He successively served as the principal of the Fourth Primary School in Qingshui District, the director of the Min County Education Bureau, the principal of the Suzheng Street Complete Primary School, and the teacher of the Min County Middle School. After liberation, he served as the principal of the provincial MinXian Middle School, the chief of the construction section of the Minxian People's Government, the chief of the cultural and educational section, the director of the Minxian Cultural Center, the editor of the "Minxian Chronicle", and the third and fourth people's representatives of Minxian County.
When he was in school, Yang Chang studied very hard and had great ambitions. After graduating from the local school in MinXian County, he did not want to be left behind and continued to study at Lanzhou Higher Education Institution. At that time, when I went out to study, no matter how far I went, I was walking. From Min County to Lanzhou for more than five hundred miles, people with good foot strength have to walk for seven days. Ordinary people have to walk for eight or nine days, or even ten days to get to Lanzhou. People who want to make a living usually have to carry things on their backs to Lanzhou on foot, sell sackcloth, sell yellow smoke, and earn money to support their families.
Min County has four major areas of east, south, west and north, and Daxi Road was called Heyang Township in ancient times. The Crow Crow Ditch in Qingshui Township climbs the mountain beams and goes to the North Road Zhongzhai, all the way north, which is the road to the provincial capital of Lanzhou. On the way to Lanzhou, it is said that you have to pass through a creepy place, which people call it a ghost place of "killing people's door kang and cooking people's pots", with rugged mountain roads and sparsely populated people.
As the saying goes: "is a soldier is not a soldier, with 40 pounds", for a reader, carrying dry food and the items needed for life, on the road is already sweaty, so far away according to the background of the times at that time, it is impossible to get off the feet, and it is necessary to go back and forth at least twice a year. Providing for a college student under those conditions is really not an easy task for ordinary farmers. "The sword blade comes out of the grinding, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold." It is this kind of tenacious experience that has made mr. Wang's fate change dramatically, and he has cultivated a unique perseverance, and has experienced extraordinary talent and a magnificent righteousness. At that time, it was not easy to support a college student, but Mr. Li did not live up to the expectations of his family. He was diligent and studious, studied hard, graduated from Lanzhou University with excellent results, realized his long-cherished wish, and repaid his parents' hard work and support.
In the past, there was a considerable shortage of cultural talents, not to mention a college student, who was supposedly assigned to work in other places, but in order to give back to his hometown, he applied to the organization, and with the consent of the organization, Yang Chang was assigned to engage in educational work in Min County according to his hometown. Later, due to his outstanding achievements, he served as the director of the Min County Education Bureau and the mayor of Xichuan District a few years later. For the sake of honesty and honesty of officials and a clean wind in both sleeves, Yang Chang thinks of the interests of the people everywhere, takes the benefit of one party as his responsibility, and is deeply supported and loved by the broad masses of the people.
In the past, there was no bridge on the bank of the Tao River in the minxian urban area, and people who went to relatives and entered the city all needed to cross the river with wooden rafts or sheepskin rafts. Although later British foreigners set up points to put foreign boats on the ferry, in that era, ordinary people had so much money, and foreigners charged very high. One autumn afternoon, at the ferry port set up by foreigners, because there were many pedestrians on the boat, the foreigners would charge a separate ticket for the things that the pedestrians on board the boat brought with them, which was very excessive. On that day, Yang Chang returned home because of the fortifications, and this happened on the way back. Because Yang Chang was dressed simply and asked the foreigners, they ignored them, Yang Chang was a little surprised, but how could he stand by and stand by, so he stepped forward in an aggravated tone and made a generous statement: Please answer a question, the foreign ships were brought by you foreigners, but the Tao River water is definitely not brought by you foreigners from Britain, please immediately pay all the fees such as water bills and land skin fees owed to the people of Min County, and then make a conclusion?
The gentleman's well-founded question made the foreigner suddenly choke. When foreigners see that the other party is not idle, they no longer dare to sit on the ground and charge fees arbitrarily. From now on, the carry-on items are free, and the price of the ferry ticket is appropriately reduced, and mutual respect is convenient for passers-by. Such exciting news became a sensation within a few days. At that time, a few pieces of money, equivalent to more than a few tens of yuan now, according to the price, was a hard-won ration for the people of MinXian County. He stood up for the people of Min County, saluted first and then soldiered, and it is said that after the foreigners personally visited and admired him. Everything is precious, this is a manifestation of wisdom, Mr. is a man who is full of learning, treating people with sincerity, convincing people with reason, and serving people with virtue, which is a kind of great wisdom.
In the middle page of the Republic of China, the warlord Lu Dachang stationed in Min, as the commander of the local armed forces, was worried in the face of problems such as people's livelihood, and consulted with several colleagues to expose Lu Dachang in the province. Fortunately, the governor was no one else, but the famous Deng Baoshan. Due to the special situation and the importance of the matter, Deng Baoshan called back: the quick solution must not be wrong! Lu Wen exclaimed: Whoever dares to break the sky and this commander can't get over, he really doesn't know that the sky is high and the ground is thick and eats the bear's heart and leopard bile! After knowing it, it was ..... That is, Zhi Han, because of the many collisions in business, a certain day in a certain month, the cold house, a little thin wine, apologize to the gentlemen! As everyone knows, at a critical juncture, several colleagues were timid and panicked, afraid that Lu Dachang would not give up and give up, so they put down a feast at the Hongmen Gate to vent their revenge. Even if you go, it is a moth that throws itself into the net. However, Yang Chang was calm and fearless, in short, he asked for the people's lives, so he went alone with his head held high. After the scriptures, Lu Wen only came to one person, the other..... There was a big question mark in my heart, and I secretly admired it, and said to myself: Commander Ben has been fighting horses all his life, what kind of characters have not been seen. I never thought that there was such a person who sacrificed himself for people who were not afraid of death in the land of Min County, which shocked him.
Worthy of being the hero of RongMa's life, Lu Dachang personally went out to greet him. After attending the banquet, the gentleman not only remained unscathed, but also made Lu Dachang feel convinced and thrown to the ground. During the banquet, you pushed me to call me a brother and a brother, and the words and deeds made Lu ashamed, claiming that my generation was thin and thin, looking forward to Jun Haihan, the past was written off, everything was important to the overall situation, and shook hands and made peace. Yang Chang got up to resign because of the public works, and Lu personally sent the door of the palace, looking at the distant figure, and admired Mr. In his heart.
He put his personal life and death aside and solved many problems with courage and determination. He is not afraid of danger again and again, and always stands up at a critical moment to ask for the people's lives. An educator can impress a warlord commander who is in the ascendant. In his and the hearts of the ancients, filial piety to parents is a small filial piety, and filial piety for the country and the people is a great filial piety.
As the national hero Lin Zexu said: "If a country lives and dies by profit, it is better to avoid it because of misfortune." Mr. Worries about the country and the people, which coincides with the spiritual will of the ancients. Many people have commented on Mr. Ru that if Mr. Ru was born in ancient times, he was undoubtedly a national hero who planned well.
"If the wise are not prepared, they are not enough to cure them." He served as the principal of Minxian No. 1 Middle School and cultivated many outstanding talents. His contribution to the cultural and educational cause of Min County is indispensable, and he is highly respected, so he is called a sage. He is not only knowledgeable, but also good at calligraphy. In his later years he wrote several sutras, some of which were collected by the authorities.
In 1968, sir completed his glorious life. Deeds are strong, and Defan is always there. A poem is still widely praised. "The hustle and bustle of the city was not home, and the storm was chaotic. Personnel affairs have been thin with autumn, who is still talking about the all-rounder. The whole poem only uses twenty-eight words, and the profound meaning is exhausted by the vicissitudes of the world. Many deeds about Mr. Min county have been recorded in the literature and history of Min County, adding a heavy page to the cultural history of ancient Min Prefecture!
The noble spirit of the sages and philosophers is an immortal monument! Inspires and inspires generations of people. To this day, on many occasions people still talk about many touching stories of Mr. Wang, his soul and spirit are like a tall pine tree, eternal and eternal!
