In history, although the Jiaodong Peninsula (east of the Jiaolai River) has produced many jinshi, the number of Yuanyuan (all of which refer to the above refers to the wen test) is not much. From the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, for more than a thousand years, there were only two real Wen Zhuangyuan.
Both of these titles appeared during the Northern Song Dynasty, one was Cai Qi during the Reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song (the eighth year of the Reign of Emperor Dazhongxiang) and the other was Wang Junmin of the Reign of Emperor Renzong of Song (the sixth year of Jiayou).
According to the division at that time, Cai Qi and Wang Junmin were both from Laizhou (not exactly equivalent to the current Laizhou City), the former being from Laizhou Jiaoshui County (present-day Pingdu) and the latter from Luofeng Town (present-day Zhaoyuan) in Ye County, Laizhou.

Some sources also include Lü Mengzheng of the Northern Song Dynasty in jiaodong yuan, on the grounds that Lü Mengzheng was from the Eastern Lai lü clan, and his ancestral home was Ye County, which was under the jurisdiction of Laizhou at that time. But in fact, Cai Qi's ancestral home is in Luoyang, but he is still regarded as the leader of Pingdu. Compared with the ancestral home, the "place where you really live and study" should be more used as a criterion for dividing the ownership of the elements.
Although they are both champions, the later life directions of Cai Qi and Wang Junmin are very different.
According to the Records of Pingdu Historical Records, "(Cai Qi) ascended to the throne, he successively served as a supervisor, a general judge of Yanzhou and Weizhou, a right counselor, a member of the ceremonial department, a foreign lang and a servant of the imperial history, a minister of the ministry, a scholar of the imperial family, a scholar of hanlin, a bachelor of attendants, and a counselor of the imperial court, and became a major minister of the imperial court." ”
He died at the age of 52, a normal lifespan in that era. After his death, the imperial court gave him the title of "Wen Zhong", Ouyang Xiu wrote his book, and Fan Zhongyan wrote a tomb table for him, which was extremely mournful.
Wang Junmin was only 27 years old when he died, only two years from the title of the gold list, and there was no outstanding eunuch achievement in his career, and the cause of death was also "mad disease", in short, there was no good death, which was emotional.
Although he died young, Wang Junmin was also a figure after all, and after his burial, his hometown also built a larger tomb for him to choose Jilang. According to the Records of Zhaoyuan County in the Qing Dynasty, this tomb is in the east of Julingling Ridge, thirty miles southwest of the county. Compared with the current map, it is roughly near the village of Zhuangyuantou in Qishan Town.
Regarding this history, it is also mentioned in the "Chronicle of Geographical Names of Zhaoyuan County": the original name of Zhuangyuantou was "Zhuang Wangtou" (it is said that zhuang and wang were named after the village built in Julinglingtou). During the Northern Song Dynasty, after the death of King Junmin of Zhuangyuan, the coffin was buried under the Juling Ridge, and the name of the village was changed to Zhuangyuantou.
Due to historical changes, Wang Junmin's tomb site no longer exists, but there were tomb bricks in the Qing Dynasty. The Zhaoyuan County Chronicle also records a strange story related to it.
According to legend, Wang Junmin's tomb had fallen into disrepair at that time, and many bricks and stones had fallen off. People who cultivate and graze nearby, if they move the location of these bricks and stones, will inexplicably suffer from heart disease. Put the masonry back in place, and the heart disease will be cured.
The ancients were superstitious and amazed by this phenomenon, and thought that it might be the manifestation of the Yuanyuan (Wang Junmin died of a mad disease, and the so-called madness may be close to "losing the heart"). And the people who moved the bricks and stones are also sick in their hearts).) This matter was passed down ten times, ten times a hundred, so that when the county chronicle was revised, it was included.
The idea of "apparition" is not well understood, but the respect of the Zhaoyuan people for Wang Junmin is obvious. In ancient Zhaoyuan County, there were buildings such as Zhuangyuanfang and Kuixing Pavilion (all of which have now been restored), all of which were erected in honor of Wang Junmin.
