author:Native Henan

Wang He (it should be three points of water + He, but can not be typed), the word Shaohai, the number of double Yong. A native of Guanyinzhuang, Fangcheng County, Henan Province.

Born on April 11, 1849, the 29th year of The Qing Dynasty. Late Qing Dynasty Pengshuke (1898) Jinshi.

Because he twice asked the public bus to write to the imperial court, impeached Li Hongzhang for misleading the country, offended the imperial court, and returned to the class with "giving the same jinshi candidate Zhi County". After having no intention of pursuing a career, he vowed to live his life in education. He once served as a mountain chief and engaged in charity at Chongshi Academy in Tanghe County, Danjiang Academy and Fangcheng Academy in Tanghe County, Henan Province, and wrote books to educate people, and never hesitated.

He is the author of 50 volumes, including "GuiGong Ladder", "Eight Character Fortune Transfer Record", "Dark Room Lamp", "Meritorious Qualification", "Xiangxin Chapter", "Shuangyongzhai Diary", "Shuangyongzhai Anthology", "Sea Crane Poetry Copy", "Family Ride" and so on.

The "Biography of the Ancestors of Zhongzhou" praises: "When you are at home, you have the heart to help." Whatever is conducive to the people's livelihood and daily use, everything is known and said is endless. Wherever there is a matter of weathering the people's religion, there is nothing to do, there is no end to everything, and there is no mercy for hard work and resentment. His heart is bright, and his thoughts are kind. Regard wealth as soil, regard karma as learning as teaching tirelessly, and be old and tired. In the autumn of the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), due to overwork, he died of illness at the age of 72.

Mr. Wang He was born early and wise. As a teenager, he became famous for his poetry in the county. Participated in the Nanyang Provincial Examination and ranked first in the thirteen counties. He entered the school as the head of the government and was received by the prefect Liu Mou. The following year, he entered the state and made up for it at the age of twenty-three. After Mr. Wang He became a talented man, he became famous for a while, and there were many scholars from near and far who asked for friends.

In order to study knowledge, we set up the "Lize Wenhui" with scholars, wrote regularly, interacted with each other, and thought about it day by day. It was at the end of the Qing Dynasty and political corruption. Especially after the defeat of the Opium War, the bottom society has caused the people to lose their lives. Mr. Wang He was deeply worried, but he was powerless to return to heaven. I can only write articles to express my anger and satirize current politics. At that time, he wrote essays and poems such as "Single Stick Fu", "Rat Fighting", "Yulang Poem", "Guan Chengzi Biography", "Lian Zhu" and so on, which were widely circulated in the academic circles.

But the weather is unpredictable. After Mr. Wang He made up for his death, he suffered the funerals of his grandmother, birth mother, stepmother and father. According to feudal etiquette, in the event of the death of grandparents and parents, they must observe the system for three years, and they are not allowed to take the exam during the period of observance. Therefore, it was not until the twentieth year of Guangxu (1894) that he participated in the provincial examination, and the fifth place was raised.

The Jia Wu Nian cited by Mr. Wang He is the famous Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War in modern history. Empress Dowager Xi embezzled naval funds to build the Summer Palace, and Li Hongzhang welcomed Empress Dowager Xi and wanted to preserve the power of the Huai army, blindly surrendering to Japan and not daring to fight. In this situation, the Chinese Navy was defeated.

Under the presidency of Li Hongzhang, the "Maguan Treaty" was signed with Japan for those who lost their rights and humiliated the country. One of the most important was the cession of Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Japan. This has aroused great anger among the people of the whole country, especially the people of Taiwan.

Mr. Wang He has just taken the initiative at this time, and he is extremely concerned about the rise and fall of the motherland and the safety of the nation. In the first year, he went to Beijing on the bus to write a letter and forcefully discuss and discuss the wrong country. Although it did not work, after the Guangxu Emperor read it, yubi personally criticized the word "loyalty and indignation". However, Mr. Wang He was sad and indignant, and wrote poems to express the heart of patriotism and concern for the people.

Among them, there is a poem "Cutting Taiwan", which reads:

Cut Taiwan, the people flocked, like a loss of shame!

What a crime the Taiwan people are committing, once the Jackals and Tigers are not merciful.

Before the king wants to kill the enemy and the people, the king wants to raise money and the people are willing to donate.

Destroying the family and sacrificing one's life has not been repaid.

Looking west to the motherland, separated by heavy passes, the next love Moda Xi, tears in the air!

The sky is blue, why indifferent?

sigh! ay! Not to forgive, but to fear full authority.

In the autumn of the twentieth year of Guangxu, he was recommended by Mr. Feng Shuhou of Tanghe County (the father of the famous modern philosopher Feng Youlan) to be the head of Chongshi Academy in Tanghe County.

In the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu (1898), during the period of the examination, Mr. Wang He entered the Beijing examination. Before the examination, Mr. Wang He, together with Feng Shuhou and several other people who had entered Beijing to participate in the examination, wrote to the Guangxu Emperor, pointing out Chen Shiyi and impeaching Li Hongzhang for the twelve major crimes of plenipotentiation of the country.

At this time, Li Hongzhang was a heavy minister of the Western Empress Dowager, and it was very hot. In this move, Mr. Wang He and Mr. Feng Shuhou really risked death to enter the counsel, disregarding their own safety. However, because it was a letter on the bus, Li Hongzhang did not publicly discuss his guilt, but after the list was made, Wang He and Mr. Feng Shuhou both returned to work as "giving tongjinshi birth and candidate Zhi County".

After Mr. Wang He returned to work, although he had the title of "Candidate Zhi County", he never served as an official in his lifetime. His family was poor, and he refused to take the road of buying officials, nor did he want to join the big officials.

According to his diary, after he returned to work, Li Bingheng, the governor of Shandong, wrote a handwritten letter inviting him to shandong to become an official, but he politely refused. Because it was the period when the Boxers fought against the Eight-Power Alliance, and Li Hongzhang was an accomplice in the suppression of the Boxers, Mr. Li disdained to be with them.

Since then, Mr. Wang He has stopped seeking official positions and is determined to engage in education to save the country. He returned to Chongshi Academy in Tanghe County for about four years. From the 25th to the 27th year of Guangxu (1899-1901), he served as the chief of Danjiang Academy in Huaichuan County.

From the 28th year of Guangxu to the second year of Xuanun (1902-1910), he served as the head of Fangcheng Academy. In the third year of Xuanun (1911), he was reinstated as the head of Danjiang Academy in Zhejiang County.

In the spring of the second year of the Republic of China (1913), he returned to Fangcheng and sat in the Zhao He Guo Lou and the Garden in the northwest corner of the Zhao Qidian, teaching and writing, and doing charity. Among them, nearly fifty volumes of works such as "Gui Gong Ti" and "ShuangyongZhai Anthology" were completed during this period.

In the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), he died of illness at the age of seventy-two at the School Hall of Credit Banner Town.

Mr. Wang He is morally highly moral and intellectually natural. Integrity, heavy discipline. Every time he lectures or talks with friends, he talks about the historical figures who are loyal and righteous, such as Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Yu Qian, Lin Zexu, and other things that can be sung and wept. This makes the listener unconsciously moved and shed tears.

Although Mr. Wang He's family was poor, he sympathized with the poor all his life, was kind and charitable, anxious for others, and often gave his salary to the poor. Therefore, the incorruptible money obtained from teaching can be spent at any time, and the two sleeves are clean. He was proficient in medicine, often using folk secret recipes to make pills and send people for treatment free of charge. Winter winter for the poor; In the summer, Chinese herbal medicines are collected to make tea, and family members are taught to cook tea every day to facilitate passers-by. Even after his death, his family persevered.

In the autumn of 1920, when Mr. Wang He died, he heard about it from near and far, and they all wept, and they did not expect to wait for the county to accept his teachings, and successively came to Fangcheng to offer sacrifices, and the scene was extremely touching.

Lu Jingyan, a man from Fangcheng, once wrote an inscription for him, saying: "Mr. Wang's family property is meager, and he is self-serving and thrifty. And the mountains are also righteous, and the soil is also spending money, don't you resolutely husband!" A few simple words highly summarize the noble qualities of Mr. Wang He.

Mr. Wang He wrote a lot in his lifetime, and since the age of nineteen, his diary has been uninterrupted, counting more than thirty volumes. In addition to the books mentioned above, there are countless scattered poems and essays that are usually composed. During the Cultural Revolution, mr. Wang He's precious relics were unfortunately burned as "four olds" by the Red Guards when they raided his home, and none of them survived.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the whole country put an end to the chaos. Mr. Wang He's sons Wang Yansheng and Wang Yanjun wanted to sort out their father's posthumous works, but they could only look at the house and sigh, and there was no word left.

Since 1980, they have mobilized their juniors to visit and explore among their father's disciples and their juniors in their relatives and friends in this county and in huaichuan, Tanghe, Sheqi and other counties, and after ten cold and hot summers, they finally found some of the original works that were lost.

Some of the short poems were memorized orally by his father's disciples and re-disciples, so they are very precious. These scattered works are seventeen essays and thirty-six poems.

Wang Yansheng, Mr. Wang Yanjun mimeographed it into a book, named "Embers Yu Collection". Mr. Yan Sheng explained: "After giving the embers and names of the letters, after this collection is the ember fire of the request, it is not completely complete, and it is not forgotten with the merits of the care and sponsorship of the elderly relatives and friends."

In the "Embers collection", many poems are memorized by word of mouth, which shows the great influence of his art.
