The Hu family began to transfer from agriculture to literature

Hu Sijing's grandson, Hu Wenliang, was the first scholar of Hu Fuhao's branch and studied at Yuelu Academy, where scholars called him Mr. Lushan. Starting from Hu Wenliang, this Hu family began to transfer from agriculture to literature.

In the 16th year of Chongzhen (1643), Zhang Xianzhong attacked Changsha, and Hu Guangbi, the 5th grandson of Hu Wenliang, was martyred in battle. Because Hu Guangbi had no heirs, Hu Qiru, the third son of his eldest brother Hu Guangdou, passed on to Hu Guangbi as an heir.

Hu Qiru's great-grandson Hu Mindian (胡民典), also known as Yingtang ( 字英塘), was a great filial piety who edited the "Filial Piety sutra shuyi" and held an important position in the Hu family.

Hu Mindian had two sons, Hu Duoji and Hu Duoheng, and Hu Duoji was Hu Linyi's great-grandfather.

Hu Duoheng, the word Chengzhai, read hard and work hard. Hu Duoheng's son Hu Xianzhang, Jiaqing 6 years (1801) became a tribute.

The bagong is a kind of student member in the imperial examination system who is paid by the local tribute to the state sub-prison. The Qing Dynasty initially took the exam every 6 years, and in the middle of the Qianlong Dynasty, it was changed to 12 years, and the number of places was scarce, with two students from each province and one from the prefecture and county. Therefore, it is very difficult, the competition is fierce, it is much more difficult than the examination of people, and the gold content is much higher.

After graduating from Guozijian, Hu Xianzhang served as the president of Longzhou Academy and trained a large number of talents, such as Hu Linyi's father, Hu Dayuan.

After reading Hu Dayuan's examination papers, Zhou Zhiying, the minister of reading the papers at the time, said with satisfaction: "The big science is a good thing. ”
