Welcome to pay attention to "Fangzhi Sichuan"!
Li Ba: The banyan tree is a big tree, and the shade is ten acres
Li Ba (1713-1775), courtesy name Qingqiao, was a native of Yujin Town, Qianwei County, Sichuan Province, and at the age of 38, successively served as a member of the Chuzhong (present-day Hubei Province) Changyang, Zhongxiang, Yichang, Jiangxiazhi Counties, Hengzhou, Yongchuan, Yuezhou, and Hanyang Prefecture Tongzhi, all of whom had political achievements. In the spring of the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong (1759), he served as the prefect of Funing (present-day Xiapu, Fujian). In May of the 26th year of Qianlong, he was transferred to the prefect of Fuzhou and lihaiphong. He later served as the prefect of Changsha. In the thirty-fourth year of Qianlong (1769), he served as the Daotai of Jingyi in Hubei Province. Li Ba "regards the people as his family and regards civil affairs as his own affairs" and "the officials are too strict, and the people are suspicious of them, but there are many things they have," and the people have benefited from it. Because of his outstanding political achievements, he competed in various places, and was summoned by the Qianlong Emperor five times, and he was very comforted. To this day, the area around fujian and eastern Fujian is still known as Li Ba as a generation of officials, and Jiang Han is called Li Qingtian.
Li Ba was not only diligent in political affairs, but also wrote a lot of works, successively writing 9 volumes of "Reconstructing qianwei county chronicles", 4 volumes of "Hengzhou Continuing Art Literature", 44 volumes of "Funing Fu Zhi", and 8 volumes of "Changyang County Chronicles"; he wrote "Four Books Marginal Notes", "New Biography of Sleepy Learning", "Introduction to Historiography", "Records of East and West Travels", "Zhuangyou Insights", "Gangjian Compromise", "Interpretation of The Meaning of Leaving Troubles", "Introduction to Reading History", "Geographical Exploration Sources", "Exploration of Science Sources", "Dongxi Anthology", "Xingbu Jiluo", "Daoxiangyuan Poetry Collection", and family training and tutoring.
"Banyan trees are big trees, and there are ten acres of shade... (For officials) in a county is a shade, in a county is a county, in the world is a shade of the world. ”
This passage, which uses the analogy of the banyan tree to be an official, comes from the "Records of the Rong Yin Hall" composed by Li Ba when he was the prefect of Fuzhou. Li Bahe mentioned this passage many times during his work in Fujian.
In the spring of 1759, Li Ba was transferred to Guard Funing Province, and after investigation, he proposed that Xingjiaohua should not precede sufficient clothing and food, sufficient clothing and food should be greater than heavy peasant mulberry, and heavy peasant Sangmo should be yuxing water conservancy, writing "Silkworm Mulberry Theory" and "Planting Cotton Theory", urging the counties to "open river canals, govern Pi Tang, sow grain diligently, plant trees widely, be lazy, be frugal, forbid the bad habit of stopping coffins, and punish the decadence of gambling." The local "people know how to raise silkworms, but they started from Li Ba". He administered the Changxi River in Xiapu County, donated funds to build the city walls of fucheng, rebuilt the Fuxue Minglun Hall, built the Funing Xingwen Building, and organized the revision of the "Chronicle of Funing Province" and the chronicles of various counties. He was transferred away from Funing, and the gentry set up a "monument to think": "Read the people's labor and work hard, do their best to cultivate the land; protect the house and gather, and there is no alarm in the well; the wild old man is wandering, and the scholar is cross-passing." ”

During Li Ba's tenure at the Jingyi Shi Daotai in Hubei Province, he "removed dangerous stones, opened official troughs, removed rapid whirlpools, repaired fiber roads, gathered rain from group workers, and thundered with ten thousand axes", and led the crowd to repair the Yangtze River waterway. Every time a difficult river is rectified, a pair of stone carvings are left with inscriptions, and there are nearly 100 inscriptions and poetry tablets along the line, which is called the first person to be carved in the three gorges of the Yangtze River. These inscriptions not only add a luster to the Three Gorges Cultural Corridor, but also serve as a warning to passing ships. Before, he also left inscriptions such as "Sound Full of Heaven and Earth", "Yuncheng Faxuan", "Zhuoer", "Can't Stop", "No Breath Half Painted", "Climbing to the Peak" and so on, which have now become a landscape.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Li Ba wrote a comprehensive family training family rule to teach his children and grandchildren how to behave and do things. His "After the Teaching of the Book of Genealogy" exhorted his descendants to "Ji Qiu fei Yi Shao, Er Cao should be self-reliant... Poor study of true righteousness and righteousness, wash away the common heart"; "Frugality" emphasizes "only honesty and morality, only thrift nourishes the heart"; "Chongde Zaiming" exhorts future generations to "float in the name of wealth and wealth, what to ask for in the world", and to be strict with oneself in doing things. Under the strict family training and family rules, Li Ba's son Li Yuanmo and two grandsons, Li Jinyuan and Li Lian, were admitted to the jinshi, "one door and four jinshi", known as "Qian for four Li", and the birth of "Eight Great Zhi County", which was passed down as a good story. However, his son Li Yuanmo had little interest in being an official, preferring to cultivate poetry and books, and after passing the entrance examination, he was "desperate to make a career, good yellow and old learning", and only served as the head of the Yinqing Academy. Hou Buzhu HuanShou Mountain House (present-day Jungle Village, Fulong Township, Qianwei County) lived in seclusion. He is the author of "HuanShou Shan Fang Anthology" and "SongfengGe Poetry". His poem "Longchi Spring Rise" is particularly famous for posterity: "A sill opens a hundred acres of ponds, and spring comes from Heaven." The floating green shadow of the far tower, the weeping willow dipped in beess. Proud of the fish leaping place, will be hearty when the wind and rain come. Long Wen is vast and mighty, but fortunately, the Iraqis have taken it upon themselves. His wife, Li Zhoushi, was from the Fuling Wang clan, the daughter of Zhou Huang, the Grand Master of Guanglu, who worked in poetry and wrote "AiLianXuan Poetry Grass".
During this period, the peace was long, the economy recovered, and the humanities of Leshan were also well developed, and like the previous dynasties, the first to show a family-style talent boom. For example, the Jingyan Lei family, "Nine Sons and Ten Hanlin", Lei Chang once served as a cabinet attendant, and Lei Lun once inspected the Imperial History of Taiwan. For example, the Jingyan Hu family, Hu Tishu's father died when he was young, relying on his mother to make a living from weaving, and after completing his studies, he set up an account to teach apprentices, taught scriptures, and later served as a yanyuan teacher. His sons Hu Yuanshan, Hu Shaoshan, Hu Shishan, and Hu Kaishan were proficient in learning, all of whom were known for their Confucianism, and Hu Yuanshan was an official in Zhizhou, Zhao Prefecture during the Qianlong dynasty. For example, in the Jiajiang Song family, in the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties, there was 1 jinshi (Song Gong), 7 juren (Song Zhixuan, Song Guangke, Song Zisi, Song Wei, Song Shiheng, Song Kai, and Song Tingzhen), and 1 Bagong (Song Kai) and 1 Gongsheng (Song Mo).
Li Ba two or three things
Li Batu was a eunuch, and now he gave two or three things to summarize his people. Qianlong was promoted to the prefect of Funing Province in the twenty-fourth year, only two years and three months, and his political achievements were singable. At the beginning of his disembarkation, he investigated the customs and people's conditions of the five counties and found that production was small and materials were expensive, and the people's livelihood was meager. He first advocated agriculture to enrich the people's livelihood. It is necessary to cure a government and advocate agriculture. Indoctrination is fundamental. To rejuvenate the religion, we must first have enough food and clothing. Agriculture is first developed, but water conservancy is the guarantee of agriculture. He conducted extensive investigations and wrote out the "Funing Five Counties Water Conservancy Examination", and forced all those in each county who had water conservancy and irrigation funds to benefit them. He personally supervised the construction of the Three Dam Reservoirs, so that the water would return to its valley and the farmers would enjoy their benefits. After the completion of the reservoir, he wrote a poem in inscription on the stone as a souvenir. He attached great importance to grain production at the same time, but also attached importance to the planting of cash crops, Funing Province did not plant cotton, planting mulberry silkworms, planting tree habits, he introduced cotton and mulberry seedlings from other places, in the province to demarcate land trial planting, and wrote an article to introduce the experience of bell breeding. A year later, everyone in the counties of the province planted mulberry silkworms and cotton, and they heard the sound of the machine all night. It is heard of Fujian cotton, starting from Li Ba.
Running schools revitalizes literature and education comes first. The rise of indoctrination is based on the school. In terms of teaching, he emphasized that character and behavior are first, words are secondary, advocating practical learning, attaching importance to cultivating talents, and writing "Persuasion to Learn" is engraved in the corner of the seat to warn students. Secondly, the city walls were repaired, the embankments were restored, and the sanatoriums were built to accommodate the widows and the elderly. He served in Funing Province for only two years and three months, but did many things that were beneficial to the local area. Thus when he was transferred to the prefect of Fuzhou. The gentry of Funing erected a "Monument to Thinking" for him.
In the thirty-fifth year of Qianlong (1770), Li Ba served in Yichang, Jingzhou, Enshi and other places (Jing, Yi, Shidao), in charge of the water conservancy of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. When the Three Gorges Gezhou Dam was built, in order to protect the Huangling Temple from flooding, when the embankment was repaired to block the water, the Li Bashi stele was found when excavating soil. This stele was carved in the 35th year of Qianlong (1770), the stele is 1.85 meters long and 0.89 meters wide, and it is engraved with four poems written by Li Ba (the poem is attached). The inscription reads: "Shi Jinshi was born in The Hubei Branch of the Zhongxian Dafu to patrol the southern province of Jingzhou, to rule Over Jingyishi and other places, and to be in charge of water conservancy affairs, and to record the three levels with him four times." Jiannan Li Ba Efeng clan wrote and wrote a book. ”
1. Huangniu Mountain
The cliffs are strangely peaked in the sky, and the sensen sword is even in the clouds;
The boat often went up and down in the twilight, looking forward to the cattle dripping green smoke.
2. Huangling Temple
Dong Gong enlightened the legend, painted like Yamagata that can be known;
Only Ping Chengde Deyuan, the millennium temple looks like a pillow Jiangmei.
3. Zhuge Ancestral Hall
Shu Xiangxun's name is Irohito, and he is also a hero of The Distant Han Dynasty;
There is still a trace of the stone lotus, and the female Confucian lamentations surround the green moss.
Four or three stone
There are three plants everywhere in Chu Tian, and the chaotic rocks are not to be plotted;
Cast qin whip to drive the bottom of the sea, Mei Chuan is good is no shadow.
Li Ba's group of poems has a unique path and a unique new meaning, and the literati and porters of the past generations have passed through Huangniuyan, and most of them have lamented their difficulties and dangers with poetry and marvelousness. Li Bai, Du Fu, Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi, Lu You, etc., all wrote poems, lamenting the majesty of Huangniu Rock and the thrill of Huangling Beach. But Li Ba's poem tells the superstitious legend that the poet did not believe that the Huangniu Gorge really had a sacred cow "depicting the image", and blessed people to cross the gorge. He believes that only when human beings fight with nature and smooth out the dangerous beaches, bad waters, and reefs one by one, is it a merit worthy of praise through the ages, and it is a grand event worthy of eternal commemoration. In the poem "Three Stones", he sang that in the struggle between human beings and nature, they will finally cast a "Qin whip" to drive the mountains and the sea, and drive the reefs in the Three Gorges into the seabed, when the bright Sichuan River and the beautiful Three Dragons will surely show a magnificent picture. More than two hundred years ago, he sent poetry to express his beautiful long-cherished wishes, and his thoughts were precious. Only today, under the leadership of the great Communist Party of China, "the high gorge out of the Ping Lake" has li pu's long-cherished wish finally become an infinitely beautiful reality. Just forty miles under the Huangniu Rock, the Gezhouba Reservoir was built, and since then, the water level in the gorge area of xiling gorge for more than 100 miles has increased sharply by more than 20 meters, and the reefs in Huangniu Gorge and other places have all been submerged into the "seabed". All the shoals were also sunk into deep water. Reciting Li Ba's poems today, we feel even more the greatness of the socialist motherland and the greatness of the Communist Party of China!
