Menke Xin (1326-1396) was a famous educator in Qinzhou in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, who was rewarded by Zhu Yuanzhang and died of illness during the tenure of Shangshu of the Rebbe. According to Neijiang's "Genealogy of the Men Clan", which records that Menke Xin Meng Kexin and Sun Zi Mentai were born in the two "Genealogical Orders" made after repairing the "Family Tree" on March 15, 1396 in the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu (1396) and on March 15, 1416, respectively, the ancestors of the Men Clan were born in Yaoguli, Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province (present-day Menjia Village, Longquan Township, Jingyang County), and settled in the "PailouChuan of The Lidian of Qinzhou, born in Si before the Tang Dynasty Renyu Gong, and manifested in the world with his meritorious name.". In the Ming Dynasty, the Qinzhou Lidian Monument Louchuan was the Beilou River in Changdao County (present-day Xihe and Changdao Town) in the late Tang Dynasty, and the village of Shiqiao Cholong in present-day Li county. This village is also the hometown of Wang Renyu, a famous poet of the late Tang Dynasty and a soldier shangshu. Choulong Village is located on the north bank of the West Han River, with beautiful landscapes and convenient transportation. Menke was born here. Chronicle of Lixian County, Republic of China. Yiwen records: "The hometown of Shang Shumen Gongli was originally under the West Mountain of Hanyang thirty miles south of the county, and there was a Qing River in front of it, and the natives are still known as the Men Gong River. "The Mengong River is located in the area of Zhongmo in the southeast of Yaoyu Village in present-day Li County. Yaoyu Village is two kilometers north of Cholong Village. According to this, it can be affirmed that Menke's new place of origin is Li County, and his hometown is Shiqiao Town, Cholong Village. Mentai's "Preface" mentions that his uncle Meng Keyi and grandfather MenKexin lived and studied in their hometown of Cholong Village in Jinli County, and later went to Sichuan with their father. It can be inferred that in order to take care of the ancestral tombs of Li County, Meng Kexin probably returned to his hometown of Qinzhou shortly after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and also moved the ancestral temple from Li County to the present-day Tianshui Qinzhou Soap Suburb Town Menjiahe (the ruins of the former residence still exist), and his son remained in Sichuan. In Menjiahe, he opened a private school, because of his generosity and ease (Ming Yu Ruji's "Libu Zhi Manuscript" volume 51 "Menke Xinlie Biography", Wen yuange's "Four Libraries Of The Whole Book"), profound knowledge, good teaching, "many students, to the most effective" (Qing Li Di "Gansu Tongzhi" volume 36 "People", Wenyuan Ge "Four Libraries of the Whole Book" book), the reputation spread far and wide, was rewarded by Qinzhou Zhizhou or Xuezheng, as a Confucian, as a Confucian as a state Confucian teaching.

Menkexin taught in Qinzhou Prefecture, and in November of the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu (1393), Rank Man entered the court and went to Nanjing to meet the emperor. With his solid knowledge, profound knowledge, and upright character, Menkexin was valued by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and promoted to Zuo Zanshan. According to Li Dongyang's "Records of the New Gate Shangshu Ancestral Hall" stored in the stele gallery of the Hydrological Temple today, during the period of Men Ren Zuo Zanshan, he should have created the "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" (The time when Menkexin was the "Map", which was the day of Gengyin in the winter of the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, that is, December 23, 1395), Zhu Yuanzhang read the "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River", wrote more than 300 inscriptions, depicting the magnificent scene of the Rivers and Mountains shown in the picture scroll, and sighed that "non-work is a day to become its map", and its "holy will" refers to "the benevolent, the body of the mountains and the towering, the wise, the wise, Flowing water to keep things in order". It is intended to admonish ministers to have the dual qualities of benevolent and wise, to be like a towering mountain as an example for hundreds of officials, to follow the rules like water, to go forward bravely, and not to violate the law and discipline and harm the country. The Door Gong was indeed intelligent, and this note was to the point of the holy meaning, which not only showed the author's benevolent feelings of loyalty to the emperor, but also successfully implemented Emperor Taizu's political intention of hoping for the unification of the world and the shunxuan of all surnames. After his death, Li Dongyang, a scholar of the Rebbe, a scholar and attendant of the Hanlin Academy, wrote the "Records of the New Gate Shangshu Ancestral Hall" (for this article, see: Ming. Hu Miaozong's compilation of the "Chronicle of Qinzhou") has "tasted the order to be the "Record of the Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River", which is specially appreciated." His pawns also, the emperor Yu Hanmo, sent the officials to sacrifice their families" such an account.

Ming Shi, vol. 11, "Chronology of the Seven Qings", Hongwu died in August of the twenty-ninth year (1396) at the age of 70.

After MengKexin died in the capital nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Yousi to escort Mengkexin's coffin back to Qinzhou for burial, and the second son, Mengxi Zeng, also stayed in Qinzhou to perform the ancestral temple sacrifice in Qinzhou, and the other three sons returned to Neijiang, Sichuan in their later years.
