Text/Cui Jinshan
Lingshou people all know the Fu Clan Arch in Beiguan, and they also know that Fu Chengxun, Fu Chengwen, Fu Chengwen, Fu Hao, and Fu Yongchun, the "third center" of the Fu family in the Ming Dynasty, may also know fu Weilin, the Qing Dynasty Shangshu who wrote the Book of Ming, and may also know that the Fu family has a total of 15 jinshi and more than 20 imperial court officials. But you may not know that the Fu figure who really had a huge impact on the history of Lingshou was not the above-mentioned dignitaries, but a hermit of the Fu family, Fu Weixu.
Fu Weixu (1643-1722), also known as Peiwu (培吾), nicknamed Xiaoying (霄影), self-titled "Weibin Jushi", the fourth son of Fu Yongchun of the Ming Dynasty, and the third brother of Fu Weilin of the Qing Gongbu Shangshu, can be said to have been born after the famous gate and grew up at the top of the Wang clan. But in fact, Fu Weixu was in a turbulent period in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in his childhood, and his childhood trajectory was not smooth sailing, but fluctuated with social changes. His father, Fu Yongchun, was the fourth jinshi in the second year of the Heavenly Apocalypse (1622), and was first appointed to Zhi County of Huguangfang County (present-day Shiyan South), and in the fourth year of Chongzhen (1631), he was the superintendent of Henan Province. From the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635) to the eleventh year of Chongzhen (1638), he was promoted to Gyeonggi Province, Taibu Temple Shaoqing (正四品) Zuo Tongzheng, and Taichang Temple Secretary (正三品). In the twelfth year of Chongzhen (1639), he was promoted to the rank of Left Capital Imperial History (正二品), and in October he was appointed as the Left Attendant of the Army. In May of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen (1640), he was transferred to the post of Shangshu of the Bureaucracy. The Ming Dynasty did not have the position of prime minister, and the official Shangshu was the head of the six secretaries, equivalent to the prime minister. At that time, Fu Yongchun was under one person and above ten thousand people, and the Chongzhen Emperor built a stone archway for him, and his life entered the peak of power. However, it was also at this time that Li Zicheng and other rebel armies rose up, and the continuous failure of the suppression led to a great disturbance in the Chongzhen Emperor, and soon Fu Yongchun resigned his official post and returned home because of false accusations. Fifteen years after his resignation from the government, In 1643, Fu Weixuan was born. Saion lost his horse and knew the misfortune. In the second year of Fu Weixu's birth, the Chongzhen Emperor was hanged on coal mountain, and the Ming Dynasty collapsed. Fu Yongchun, who was deposed at home, thus escaped this catastrophe and became a blessing in misfortune. After weeping to the north to pay homage to Emperor Zhen, Fu Yongchun led his family to flee to an island and did not return to his hometown until the Qing Dynasty had pacified the world.
Fu Weixuan was intelligent since childhood, and when he was 12 years old, he passed the exam to make up for the county school and became a county-run school talent. At the age of 14, he took the Beijing examination, although he did not pass the examination, but the famous officials and nobles in the county all thought that Fu Weixu would definitely become a great instrument in the future. Fate sometimes plays tricks on people. In the 16th year of Shunzhi (1659), Fu Weixu, who was only 16 years old, suddenly fell ill with a head wind. This is a difficult disease in ancient times, and in modern medicine, it should be a problem with the cerebral blood vessels. The main symptom of this disease is headache. If it is not cured for a long time, it will often mutilate the eyes and ears. Fu Weishu was injured in his left eye because of the head wind. In ancient times, when taking the imperial examination, there was not only a written examination, but also an interview. There is a disease in the left eye, writing difficulties are on the one hand, the biggest problem is to affect the interview, in fact, it is equivalent to ruining the future of the examination. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to a young man who is full of ambition and has a bright future.
Fu Weihuan was lucky again. Although the old man retired at home, the official authority is still there, and the family is still relatively rich compared to ordinary people. In particular, the eldest brother Fu Weilin, who was 35 years older than Fu Weiyi, was admitted as early as the Ming Chongzhen period, and in the third year of Shunzhi (1646), when Fu Weixu was 3 years old, he was admitted to the first batch of jinshi in the Qing Dynasty and became the editor of the Hanlin National History Academy. By the 16th year of Shunzhi (1659), when Fu Weixu was 16 years old, Fu Weifeng had been promoted to the position of Right Attendant of the Household Department and Prince Shaobao, more powerful than the old master. The prosperity of the family and the glory of the eldest brother also influenced Fu Weixu. Although he had no choice but to give up his imperial examination studies, he did not sink because of it, and spent his energy on academics.
The Ming Dynasty stipulated that there was a fixed number of itchy students (students) who participated in the imperial examination, with 40 students in the government, 30 in the state school, and 20 people in the county school, and each person was given six buckets a month. Fu Weiqi was hopeless and had to give up the itchy quota to others. Because his family was rich and he did not want to lose his studies, Fu Weixu became an augmented student with approval, only participated in study and research, did not enjoy the treatment of six buckets of rice, devoted himself to studying the history of the classics, took the writing and teaching as his duty, and realized his life value from the study and learning.
Fu Weixu liked to explore ancient events from childhood, but whenever he borrowed the county chronicle from his teachers and elders, everyone told him that Lingshou was a small county and a poor county, and there was no special historical record in the Yuan Dynasty before, and there was no original "Lingshou County Chronicle" until the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, which was rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty's Wanli Calendar, but when the "Difficulty of Pengyin" was burned by the Later Jin Army in the eleventh year of Chongzhen (1638), the county chronicle engravings and the county books were all destroyed, resulting in no one in the county having seen the county chronicle for more than thirty years. In the second year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1663), Hu Gong, a native of Jixi, Jiangxi, wrote zhixian and heard a relative of his who had served as a fujun in Zhengding say that zhending province had lingshou county records, so he borrowed lingshou for people to borrow. When Fu Weiqiu borrowed this book, he was both surprised and disappointed, and the surprise was that he finally saw the Lingshou County Chronicle, and the disappointment was that this county chronicle was also too bad, not only the outline was very chaotic, but also complicated and inappropriate, there were very few chapters on the orthodox scriptures and humanities, worship and etiquette, and there were many superstitions and trivial matters that recorded the temples and temples in the city, and it was difficult to call it a county chronicle, so I had the idea of rebuilding the county chronicle.
In the eleventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1672), the imperial court called on all localities to revise the county chronicles, and Wei Qinlong of Zhixian established a 9-member compilation committee. In addition to being the director himself, there were also ji Hongji and Fu Weiying of Guangshun Zhizhou, and the other 6 were all students of Traditional Chinese Studies. In fact, as in today's society, the top three are basically pseudonyms, and the real work is done by 6 national students. Fu Weixuan, who has reached the age of establishment, is also listed among them as a supervising student. Since the other 5 had the task of taking the imperial examination, this burden mainly fell on Fu Weixu's shoulders. When I first started collecting information, I was afraid that the collection was incomplete, and I was afraid of not strictly checking it up, and then the printing fee was cut in half, which could only compress the length, resulting in the discarding of a lot of information. After everyone's efforts, the compilation was basically completed, and Zhixian also wrote a preface, but the county chronicle was aborted and not printed in the end. Extremely disappointed, Fu Weixu did not give up, on this basis began to compile his own county chronicle, through consulting the collection of books, reciting historical texts, supplemented a lot of materials that were not in the previous zhi, after three years of accumulation, finally compiled a Lingshou County Chronicle that he was more satisfied with.
The Lingshou County Chronicle compiled by Fu Weixu only uses part of the information of the Wanli County Chronicle, which is basically equivalent to overturning and starting over. This county chronicle, infused with Fu Wei's soul, is divided into twelve volumes. The first volume is the Chronicle of Fengyu, which includes the Chronicle of Jiange, The Territory, the Mountains, the Ancient Sites, the Eight Scenic Spots, the Sheli, the Customs, and the Bazaar; the second volume is the Chronicle of Jianzhi, which includes the Records of The City, the County Bureau, the Xuegong, the Altar Temple, the Pavilion, the Guanliang, the Fang Table, and the Tomb of the Hills; the third volume is the Chronicle of Rituals; the fourth volume is the Chronicle of Tribute, including the Mu, Hukou, and Property; the fifth volume is the Chronicle of Astronomy, including Hoshino, and the Detailed Difference; The Sixth Volume is the Chronicle of Officials and Teachers, including Xunfeng, Shouling, Shiru, and Subordinates; The Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Volumes are Chronicles of Characters, including Mingchen, Shiye, Kegong, Fengyin, And Xiaoyi, Hermits, Martyrs; Volumes 10 to 12 are art and literature, including shushu, preface, inscription, poems, songs, and chronicles, presenting many ancient lingshou histories and a comprehensive early Qing dynasty society to future generations in clear chapters and contexts, building a rich historical treasure house for lingshou descendants.
In the twenty-second year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1683), the famous RuLu Longqi (1630-1692) went to Lingshou to serve as Zhi County. He especially respected the knowledge and conduct of Fu Weiyi, who was 13 years younger, and personally presided over the coming-of-age ceremony for his son Fu Xieyi, and became the best friend with Fu Weiyi. In the twenty-fourth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1685), according to the requirements of the imperial court, Lu Longqi collected county records, and Fu Weiqi presented to Lu Longqi the self-written county chronicles that were treasured at home. After Lu Longqi saw it, he was like a treasure, and exclaimed: "The pen is meticulous and strategic, not chiseled or indiscriminate, has the degree of law, and the true history is also cut." Then, Lu Longqi personally revised it directly on the basis of the original book, changing the twelve volumes of the original book to ten volumes. Volumes one to four were basically untouched, the fifth volume was changed to Tian Fuzhi in the original astronomical volume, the sixth volume was untouched, the seventh volume merged the seven and nine volumes of the original book into the Character Chronicle, the eighth volume was only changed to the Electoral Chronicle, and the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth volumes of the original book were compressed into the ninth and tenth volumes. The most different from the past is that this county chronicle did not have a compilation committee composed of many people like the previous dynastic Xiuzhi, while the quanzhi was only marked with Lu Longqi and Fu Weixuan. After this county chronicle was printed, in the words of Liu Gengnian of the later Lingshouzhi County: "Dedicated to the Tianfu, spread to the four directions, luoyang paper is expensive for a while." "This chronicle is still the most preserved famous book in major libraries, archives and universities in the country, and is a model of national history.
Lu Longqi and Fu Weiqi jointly repaired the county chronicle, which deepened the friendship between the two. Lu Longqi personally wrote the preface to Fu's "Family Ride", praising Fu Weiqi for "filial piety Dun Pang was able to go through the origins and ends of the Ancestors of the Dao, knowing that his weight was not in Lu, and thought that he was a sage to Fan Xuanzi, and he was a great sage.". Lu Longqi and Fu Weixu had a large number of correspondence exchanges, which were recorded in the Lingshou County Chronicle and the Zhizhai Anthology. In 1691, Lu Longqi was promoted to the post of Inspector of Sichuan Province, and the Lingshou people specially erected a "Luyi Hou To Si Monument" for him, and Fu Weixu personally wrote the "Lu Yi Hou Go Si Monument" to commemorate his friend and the good official of Lingshou.
If it is said that giving up the imperial examination at the age of 16 was forced by helplessness, then after years of studying history books and social tempering, Fu Weixu later really looked down on the world and realized his indifference to fame and fortune. In the thirty-fifth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1696), the imperial court asked all localities to recommend talented and learned mountain forests to come out as officials. At that time, Li Yingxian of Lingshouzhi County was ready to recommend Fu Weixu, and personally went to Fu's house to repeatedly ask for it. Fu Weixu, who was only 53 years old at the time, insisted on resigning and wrote a poem to express his words gently: "The words are difficult to read, and if you are late and want to help, if you drive the wheel, you should know that you are halfway through." Later, Fu Weixu and Li Xianling also became good friends, and often befriended with poetry and wine, but Fu Weihuan never said personal affairs, which made Li Xianling respect him even more. In the sixty-first year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1722), Huang Bingquan of Liyang, Jiangsu Province, was appointed to Lingshouzhi County, and after hearing that Fu Weiyi had been no longer entertained for a long time, he wanted to see Fu Weixuan's style, so he condescended to a winery with the township drinking ceremony and pleaded with Fu Weixuan to participate, and he also stressed that he could not open the table, but in the end he still failed to do so. With Fu Weixu is the Lingshou famous teaching Ji Keting, who has forgotten his friendship, introducing Fu Weixuan's "Hairpin HuaXuan, gushi called the Pinnacle Jia Gongzi also, and Mr. Cloth Wei Belt, no alien hansu." "But the poems and ancient words he wrote, Chong and Tang" "With noble ambitions, he is not easy to communicate with, and he is valued by those who have the Tao." Fu's "Genealogy" records that Fu Weixuan "was sympathetic to the poverty of the clan, treated the slaves with generosity, and the township party, the ci and the lowly, and never spoke ill, so he did not obey the public virtue." Qing Tongzhi's "Lingshou County Chronicle" records the six talents in the history of Lingshou who were perfectly hidden, including Le Feng and Le Chen of the Zhou Dynasty, Dong Jue of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Zhongfu of the Ming Dynasty, and Fu Weixu and Mal Gong of the Qing Dynasty.
Fu Weixu wrote many works in his lifetime, in addition to the "Lingshou County Chronicle", his works "Zhizhai Anthology" and "Yanchuan Fishing Singing Poems" were collected into the Siku Quanshu. In the forty-eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1709), Fu Weiqiu, who was a rare man, led the Fu clan to create the family temple "Jingmu Ancestral Hall", and titled "The Ancestral Ancestral Hall Has Become a Poetry to Persuade the Clan Members", educating future generations "not to be humble and respectable, not to be arrogant, not to be tired of poverty, not to be jealous of the rich, not to be arrogant, to be fearful, not to take advantage of the stupidity of others, to be mechanical and wise, not to be self-lenient, not to be responsible for goodness, not to be ignorant of future plans, not to rush forward to do evil", and called on the clan to "respect the ancestors and the ancestors, how dare they kill the same kind." Xi Xi came and went, Yong Yong Zhao Zhen Rui", standardized the family style and family rules for the descendants of the Fu family. The "Fu Family Ride" edited by him and the "Jingmu Ancestral Hall" he founded have become the most precious cultural heritage left to Fu's descendants and even the entire Lingshou. Fu Died on October 28, 1722, the 61st year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1722), at the age of 80. Most of the sixth villager group of Lingshou Beiguan are descendants of Fu Weixu.
Lost in the east, harvested in mulberry elm. In Fu Wei's life, there were misfortunes and fortunate ones. His misfortune may have caused Lingshou to lose a scholar or eunuch, but his luck in turn enabled Lingshou to obtain a famous record of history. There are only a few famous eunuchs, and the Lingshou famous zhi is the only one. With only one Lingshou County Chronicle, Fu Weiyi will also be recorded in the annals of Lingshou history forever!
