Chen Wenshu (1771-1843) was a native of Qiantang, a student of Ruan Yuan, who served as the governor of Jiangdu County and Huainan in the early years of The Qing Dynasty, and Ruan Yuan wrote the preface to Chen Wenshu's Yidaotang Collection. In the fifty-three volumes of the book, there is such a record: Luo Jingfu and his wife Zhang of Zhixian County, Wucheng County, were buried together in the "Ancient Collection of Xishanding in Jiangdu".
The joint tomb of Luo Jingfu and his wife can no longer be found today, and since there is such a record in the history books, let's dig it up and see what stories the owner of the tomb has.
The tomb owner, Luo Jingfu's father, Luo Jingyu, had five sons and lived in the city of Yangzhou in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
The eldest son was the tomb owner Luo Renmei, zi Jingfu (died at the age of eighty-three);
The second son was named Luo Renyu (羅仁裕), the character Hongfu (宏甫), and Wuhou (無後);
The third son was named Luo Renyuan (羅仁元), the character Chunfu (淳甫), who served as the capital of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and when the Qing army went south, Luo Renyuan left his post and returned to his hometown in Yangzhou;
The fourth son was named Luo Renrong (羅仁荣), courtesy name Yuanzhi (元祉), and Wassei of Jiangdu County;
The fifth son was named Luo Rengui, and when he was seventeen years old, the city of Yangzhou was breached, and Luo Rengui did not know the end.
The tomb owner, Luo Jingfu, had four sons:
Luo Du (born to Lady Gao), also known as Wei Shi, had two sons. The eldest son is called Luo Mugong, the character qi has; the second son is called Luo Muxun, the word Yaodian;
Luo Guoshu (born to Lady Zhang), the character Weican, had a son, named Luo Muchen, character talent;

Luo Zhengyi (born to Lady Zhang), zihanyuan.
The owner of the tomb, Luo Jingfu, did not serve as a Zhi County of Wucheng County, he was the light of his grandson Luo Yu (Zhi County, Wucheng County), and after his death, he was named Zhi County of Wucheng County, and was buried with Lady Zhang in the "Ancient Collection of Xishan Ding gu ji in Jiangdu".
The owner of the tomb, Luo Jingfu, had a grandson named Luo Zhi (Zi Yuxi), and Luo Zhisheng had five sons.
Luo Kejun, the word Xian Wan;
Luo Kepei, Trumpet Ploughing;
Luo Kemei, Xiu Feng;
Luo Ping, dùn fu, character two peaks;
Luo Yingju, wei qian.
Here we talk about the famous Luo Ping (Luo Weifu, Luo Liangfeng), a famous painter who was the great-grandson of the tomb owner Luo Jingfu.
Luo Ping (羅遯夫, Luo Liangfeng) had two sons, the eldest son was named Luo Yunshao ,Zi Jieren (字介人), and the second son was named Luo Yunzan (羅允zan) and Xiao Feng (小峰).
Luo Ping (Luo Weifu, Luo Liangfeng) is a good painter of poems, a disciple of Qiantang Jinshoumen, who made a ghostly picture, inscribed a chant that spread overseas, and wrote "The Poetry of The Fragrant Leaf Herb", known as Mr. Liangfeng.

Chen Wenshu tirelessly listed Luo Ping's father, ancestor, Zeng, and Gao Yiyi, and wrote this article, which is not the epitaph of the tomb owner Luo Jingfu, but the "Afterword of the Twelve Martyrs' Shrine of Guangling", in which Chen Wenshu tells about a tragic family lineage of Luo Ping's ancestors.
Chen Wenshu said that the month after the completion of the Martyrs' Shrine, someone came to pay homage to me and thank me, and the person who came was luo jieren, and he also brought the tomb table written by Fang Bao, written by Wang Shu, and the biography of the martyr woman written by Jiang Heng. He was the eldest son of the famous painter and great-grandson of the martyr Luo Ping. The next day he brought with him the epitaph and roche family tree written by Wang Shu. As a result, I learned about Luo Ping's family lineage.
The twelve martyrs of the "Guangling Twelve Martyrs' Shrine" are the twelve women who set themselves on fire after the Qing army invaded Yangzhou in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. They are:
There were seventeen people in total, including the tomb master Luo Jingfu's sister-in-law Liu Shi, Liu Jingfu's Congmu Li clan, Luo Jingfu's continuing string Lady Li, concubine Li Shi, Mei Shi, daughter eunuch, and maid Chrysanthemum, and so on, and was known as a full-fledged martyr.
Chen Wen recounted that in the year of Jiaqing Bingshen, Luo Xiaofeng, the younger son of Luo Ping, was in Yuan Pu (Hangzhou) and took the album of "Falling Plums" by his father Luo Ping to me and asked me to write poems. Eighteen years later, when the "Guangling Twelve Martyrs' Ancestral Hall" in Yangzhou was built, I was asked to write a note, and at this time I learned that Madame Zhang of the Twelve Martyrs' Wives was Luo Ping's great-grandmother.
Chen Wenshu said that Luo Jieren, another son of Luo Ping, when thanking me, talked about his family lineage, which made me know the relationship between the martyrs and Luo Ping, which was the beginning of their chaste spirit for a long time! There were twelve people recorded in the ancestral hall, and jiang Heng's article said that there were thirteen people, and I saw the Luo family tree today, which recorded seventeen people, but in the rush of that year, there were several names that could not be recorded.
Chen Wenshu sighed: Although these martyrs have this ancestral record and the articles of Fang Bao, Jiang Heng and others have been circulated, there are countless famous people!
From Chen Wenshu's ancestral record, it can be seen that:
Luo Ping's ancestor was Luo Jingyu;
Luo Ping's great-grandfather was Luo Jingfu, great-grandmother Lady Zhang (buried in Xishan Dingguji);
Luo Ping's grandfather was Luo Guoheng;
Luo Ping's father was Luo Zhi (Yu Xi);
Luo Ping had two sons: Luo Jie and Luo Xiaofeng.
