One door two jinshi, Gongsun Shangshu, the first Shangshulang among the officials born in Hainan in history!
Xue Village, located 5 kilometers south of Haikou City, north of Haikou East Railway Station, south of the Ring Expressway, the geographical position is superior, located in the Yangshan area of Qiongbei, the natural ecology is unique.
Xue Village, founded in the village history of more than 800 years, for the birthplace of the Qiong Qiong Xue clan, named after the Xue surname; during the Ming Dynasty, the village produced hainan's first Shangshu - Xue Yuan, and let Xue Village be named Qiongzhou.
Entering Xue Village, a striking door number building stands on the side of the road, with four pillars and three openings, and the square is written: Xue Yuan's hometown. The two pillars in the middle are inlaid with a pair of yanglian: the Xue family of the Hubu Bingbu has left a style in the past, and the Zemin Fumin is good at describing it in the present-day Dun Datong. It shows that Xue Yuanguan served as two Shangshu, honest and honest in politics, and was a model for future generations.
The literary style of Xue Village flourished in the early Ming Dynasty, when Xue Yuan was 4 years old, Xue Yuan, a middle school student in the village, pioneered the name of Xue's subject, becoming the first person in Xue Village to try to ascend the subject, yongle sixteen years (1418) in the middle of the jinshi, and later appointed to Zhi County, Nanjing County, Fujian.
24 years later, Xue Cun continued the reading atmosphere, the imperial examination event continued, and in the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty (1442), the 28-year-old Xue Yuandeng Kejinshi. Xue Cun's "one door and two soldiers" can be regarded as a good story.
Xue Yuan was born in 1414 in Qiongshan, Hainan, and after zhongjinshi, he was appointed as the head of the household department, and later served as the right attendant of the household department, the waiter of the ministry of works, and the shangshu of the bingbu, and later changed to the shangshu of the bingbu. He was the first Shangshulang among qiong officials in history.
It is commendable that Xue Yuan's grandfather Xue Xiang (薛祥), also spelled 彥祥, joined the army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and later returned to Zhu Yuanzhang, conquered the world, and repeatedly made military achievements, and in the ninth year of Hongwu (1376), Xue Xiang was specially awarded to Xue Xiang in the north of the imperial court, and later zhao was made the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works.
Xue Xiang and Xue Yuan were the same imperial official Zhi Shangshu, and were called "Gongsun Shangshu" by posterity.
The next year, Xue Xiang was burdened by the crimes of his relatives and died tragically by the court staff, which was also the first high-ranking official martyred under the cane of the Ming Dynasty, and the officials of the same dynasty all felt sad.
Xue Xiang's son, Xue Neng, also known as Xue Yuan's father, was charged with the Hainan Wei army because of the false accusation of Lian's father, and was placed in the Thousand Households of Wei Qian, and settled in Xue Village, Qiongshan.
Xue Yuan was born in Fucheng, when he was a child, his father was stationed in Danzhou to study with his father in Danzhou, and when he studied in Danzhou, he was far away from Danzhou Yilun to learn the Chinese-style township examination, and then returned to Qiongshan to continue to study in the examination, ranking tenth in the Ming Dynasty in Qiongshan County. Danzhou Qiongyi Xue clan congratulated and erected a memorial arch to commend.
As the first high-ranking Shangshu official in Hainan during the Ming Dynasty, Xue Yuan was nowhere unpopular.
In the history of Hainan, the Qing officials, with Hai Rui at the head, today Hai Rui's hometown opened the "Hainan Top Ten Honest Officials" exhibition hall, Xue Yuan's portrait is listed as the first, which shows the influence of the first Shang Shulang on Hainan scholars.
During the Ming Dynasty, the deputy envoy Tu Rong built the "Table Xian Pavilion" outside the west gate of the county, commending xue yuan, Xing You, Qiu Mao, and Lin Jie, and later generations praised Xue Yuan and other four people as the "four sages of Hainan".
The Xue Ancestral Hall is undoubtedly the cultural center of Xue Village, which was built in the 42nd year of the Qianlong Dynasty (1777), sitting north and facing south, and consisting of a courtyard layout composed of mountain gates, main halls, and corridors on both sides.
The mountain façade is three bays wide, and the lintel is inlaid with a plaque "Xue Clan Ancestral Hall".
In front of the main hall, on the atrium, there are five majestic and benevolent granite stone statues, namely the ancestor of Xue's Duqiong, as well as Xue Xiang, Xue Yuan, and Xue Qian.
In the eighth year of Hongzhi (1495), Xue Yuan died in xuecun's family, at the age of 82, and was posthumously awarded the crown prince Shaobao by the court.
Xue Ancient Tomb, located in LongtanDi, southwest of the village, sits west to east, the tomb is well preserved, piled up with black rock, shaped like a floating fairy turtle, with a simple and elegant statue in front.
There is an ancient stone incense case in front of the tomb, and the tombstone was rebuilt in 2020 by the grandson of xue in Qiongzhou.
In front of the cemetery, a tall and mighty statue of Xue Yuan was placed.
The "Tomb of the Five Dukes of Xue of the Song Dynasty", which was renovated in the eleventh year of the Ming Dynasty, is the earliest song dynasty tomb preserved in the village.
Xue Yuan Cemetery was listed as a key cultural relics protection unit in Haikou City in March 2012.
Originally, this quiet and elegant cemetery was the unique "XueYuan Cultural Park" of Xue Village, but now it has been surrounded by real estate developers, and the ancient culture has become a "thorn in the eye" in the eyes of these developers, and it is also hoped that Xue Yuan's cemetery culture can be better protected.
