In May 1949, Huangchuan was liberated, and Ling Xingzheng, a 19-year-old huanggao student, with admiration for the People's Liberation Army, and his classmates and friends Bai Birch and Ye Nan volunteered to join the army with his family and went south with the army. Subsequently, he participated in the "Battle of Hengbao" in Hunan, and received the news of the founding of the People's Republic of China during the battle. Ling Lao is the pride of his hometown. He successively served as a creator of the propaganda team of the political department of a certain army, an editor of the editorial department of "One Day in the Volunteer Army", an assistant of the propaganda department of the political department of a certain army, a creator and section chief of the cultural section of the political department of the Chengdu Military Region, the leader and vice president of the novel and drama group of the Plaster People's Liberation Army Literary and Art Publishing House, the editor-in-chief of "Kunlun", the president and editor-in-chief of the PLA Literary and Art Society, and the editor-in-chief of "PLA Literature and Art".
When Ling Lao was a child, he lived in the southern city of Huangchuan. In an essay in May 1987, "Nancheng Beicheng", Ling Lao said: "We came to a T-shaped intersection, called Daxiangkou, which is also the center of Nancheng, and our 'home' is here":
My home is a product of the semi-feudal and semi-colonial old China -- the broken feudal landlord family. When I was a child, my great-grandfather was still alive, and I remember him telling me that his grandfather was a Qing Dynasty Taoist. This Daotai lord was originally from a poor background, when he was a child, there was no charcoal fire to warm up in winter, so he had to bury his feet in the cottonseed frame, because he "although his family was poor, he did not quit learning", and finally zhongju became a Daotai. The real estate in this big alley and the land in Nanxiang were all purchased when he was the daotai... My father was a hard-working man, and I remember when I was five or six years old, he taught me to write, plan plates, and didn't let me go until late at night, and if there was a slight mistake, he would give me "chestnuts" (beating my head with the joints of my index and middle fingers). However, in 1938, he "ran to Japan" to Nanxiang, and in the midst of the turmoil, his father died suddenly of cholera, when he was only twenty-eight years old, I was only eight years old, my sister Xingying was six years old, and my younger brother Xingzhi was one year old. Later, the great-grandfather also died, and the extended family of five generations disintegrated. After that, it was the widowed mother who took the three of us brothers and sisters to live by collecting rent from the little land property we received. After the victory of the War of Resistance, we returned to the city from Nanxiang and still lived in this big alley...
Now look at this big alley mouth residence, slightly changed. In the past, the street was a restaurant called "one floor", and now the "first floor" has been demolished and converted into a department store; in the past, from the "one floor" next to the main entrance, it was a one-story residence, what "car hall", "hall", "round door", "west wing" and so on, now, the gate is gone, along the courtyard deep open some small side doors. I led Hong'er to the hall house where my family used to live, and heard my mother say that when I was two years old, I took advantage of the adults' lack of attention to talk, and walked out of the hall house and went to the kitchen. There was a big water tank in this kitchen, half buried in the ground, full of a tank of water floating on top of a wooden water scoop, I went to grab the water scoop to play, suddenly fell into the water tank, and from then on fell into the winter coughing problem.
Ling Xingzheng remembered the home: some small side doors were opened deep along the house
The ancestor who made the "Daotai of the Qing Dynasty" and bought the real estate and the land of Nanxiang in Nancheng Daxiang was Ling Qingyun. According to the Ling family tree of Lingji Village, Huangchuan County:
Ling Qingyun (林卿云), a member of the Ling family in Gwangju Prefecture (present-day Huangchuan County), was a scientific expedition scholar during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. Notation name wenji, character Ruilan, number Qingxiao, number one Qintao, line three. Born on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the year of Daoguang Xin (1831) of the Qing Dynasty, Xianfeng Jiwei (1859) Enke Keren, Tongzhi 2nd Year (1863) Enke Jinshi Second Rank, official seal Daotai. He successively served as an official in Fujian, Shandong, Zhejiang, Hubei, Yunnan and other places, and the official zhi Erpin returned to his hometown in his old age and returned to his hometown to live in Lingjiaji. He was a philanthropist, loved by the local people and enjoyed a good prestige. He once built a school at his own expense, taught the children of peasant families the skills of literature and martial arts, and also taught himself, providing free accommodation for gifted poor children.
During Ling Qingyun's more than 20 years as an official, he left his descendants in Fujian, Shandong, Zhejiang, Hubei, Yunnan and other places. Nowadays, lingjiaji has outstanding descendants such as Ling Xingzheng, Ling Xingyan, Ling Bo (Duan Zi Generation), Ling Tao (Duan Zi Generation) and other outstanding descendants distributed throughout the country, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
In 1992, the 26th volume of "Qing Dynasty Radical Volume Integration" published by Taiwan Chengwen Publishing House contains Ling Qingyun's volume. The scroll is a historical document that records the examination of the imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, in order to prevent the private fraud of the examiner's title, in the township examination and the examination field, the original volume (that is, the ink scroll) of the test taker must be sealed and pasted, and the transcription person transcribes it with a Zhu pen and sends it to the examiner for approval, which is called the Zhu Scroll. After the examination, the articles I made in the field were printed and given to others, also known as the scroll. This kind of scroll first contains the name and resume; follows the ancestors and the following honorific subordinates, as well as brothers, uncles, nephews, wives and children; attaches the work and knowledge of the teacher; and finally selects several articles.
With the abolition of the imperial examination system at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the information in this regard was seriously lost. In order to preserve cultural classics, Zhang Yuanji, Ye Jingkui and others established the United Public Library in Shanghai. He purchased 2,000 volumes of the scrolls from haiyan Zhu's Shouxin Zhai, and later donated more than 1,000 volumes from the Pan's Yanlou in Wuxian County. In the 1950s, the United Library was transformed into the Shanghai Municipal Library of Historical Documents, which was later merged with the Shanghai Library. Since then, it has continued to collect more than 8,000 copies by the early 1990s. In 1992, Gu Tinglong compiled these and published them by the Taipei Chengwen Publishing House, and the book was "Qing Dynasty Scroll Integration", a total of 420 volumes. It includes 8235 zhu scrolls of the Qing Dynasty from the Kangxi to the Guangxu years, such as the township examination, the hui examination, and the five tributes. Among them, there are 1635 examination papers, 4 Wuhui examination papers, 5186 township examination papers, 34 Wuxiang examination papers, and 1576 Wugong papers. More than 8,000 Qing Dynasty civil and military officials' resumes, biographies, genealogies, writings, and friendships are all collected in this book.
Ling Qingyun's scroll records that he was "Ling Xingji, Sixty Miles South of shiju City", with the results: "Thirty-fourth place in the Chinese style of the township examination in this province; 190th in the Chinese style of the hui examination; 60th place in the second class of the re-examination; seventy-seventh place in the second class of the temple examination; and fifty-seventh place in the third class of the imperial examination." "and his ancestors, his teachers, and so on."
Ling Qingyun's old residence of "Ling Xingji, Sixty Miles South of the World Residence City" is still preserved. In 2014, the eighth series of "Xinyang Literature and History Materials" edited and published by the Xinyang Municipal Cppcc Committee, "Xinyang Traditional Houses", included a section on "Renhe Town Ling's Old House":
Lingjia Old Mansion (locally known as Daotaifu), located on the west side of Lingji Village Street in Renhe Town, Huangchuan County, is a Qing Dynasty building. East of the Bailu River, west of the scenic spot eighteen miles of Changgang, north of the hilly ridge, south of the Dabie Mountain, surrounded by green mountains and water, the scenery is very beautiful. The courtyard sits north and faces south, the main body is three houses and six courtyards, there are front hall building, middle hall building, back hall building, east and west up to 21 rooms. The back hall building and the middle hall building are two floors, a total of 84 rooms, the front hall building is flanked by bungalows, and each side door is set up, the three rooms in the middle are two floors, which is also the main gate of the house, called LuMen in the Qing Dynasty, for the roll grid floating eaves style, the upper two ends of the ridge are equipped with flower arranger beasts, and there are five swallows on the back of the flower arrangement beasts. There are 24 houses in the front hall building.
There are side houses on both the east and west sides of the house, and there are also two rows of side houses in the middle, totaling 48 rooms, of which the middle two rows are in the style of old dragon heads. There is an alley between the houses, and the round gate is connected. There is also a front yard in front of the house, the wall and the front gate are in the south, the east is the flower hole wall, and there are 15 side houses in the west, called the Xihua Hall, and there is also a pavilion next to it, with stone tables and stone benches. A lotus pond was built in the east and west of the courtyard, named "Dragon and Phoenix Lotus Pond". The entire courtyard building structure is a brick and tile wooden frame structure, which belongs to the Ming and Qing dynasty architectural styles, and its scale and luxury of the knot body are very rare in the whole of Gwangju.
According to local people's legends, the place of Lingji was originally called Wang Ji, because of the large power of Ling Daotai and the large population of Ling surname, so they changed their intention to LingJi, and the people of the Mingfu family set up a steamed bun stall at the north end of the Bridge in Jizhen, and all the pedestrians who passed by called Lingji took one, and over time, there were more people called Lingji, and since then Lingji has also continued, and now it is also rumored in the local area as anecdotal and beautiful talk.
During Ling Qingyun's tenure in Yunnan, the local tea had a long history of cultivation and a wide variety of varieties, which could be both drinkable and medicinal. Ling Daotai wondered why he did not bring Yunnan tea over, he entrusted people to bring the seeds back from Yunnan to his hometown for planting, and now Lingji Tea Farm still has more than a hundred years of tea trees, Lingji tea leaves with its leaf tip, soup color, good taste and sell well in Beijing, Zhengzhou and other places. As part of Xinyang tea, Lingji tea has contributed to the cultivation and development of Xinyang tea. (Ling Duanfu)
Ling Qingyun Tongzhi 2nd Year (1863) Temple Examination Second Rank Seventy-seventh Place, Official Seal Daotai. Ling Qingyun's lineup of classmates is strong. The famous Zhang Zhidong was the third place in the first division, and another Gwangju fellow among the Tongke Jinshi was Li Jiale, one of the four frugal officials of the Qing Dynasty.
Li Jiale rolls
Zhang Zhidong (September 2, 1837 – October 4, 1909), whose ancestral home was directly subordinate to Nanpi, was a famous minister of the late Qing Dynasty and a representative of the Qing Dynasty's Western affairs school, and together with Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and Zuo Zongtang, he was known as the "Four Famous Ministers of Late Qing Dynasty Zhongxing". He is the main representative figure of the Western-style faction, and politically advocates that "middle school is the body, and Western learning is used", and a large number of military and civilian industries are founded. He also founded schools such as ziqiang xuetang (the predecessor of today's Wuhan University) and Sanjiang Normal School (the predecessor of today's Nanjing University). In the Enke Temple Examination of Yan hai (1863), Zhang Zhidong ranked third.
Li Jiale, born in Gwangju in 1833, "lived in Gwangju Namseong". Tongzhi 癸海 (1863) Jinshi. According to Li Jiale's scrolls, he ranked 70th in the township examination, 76th in the hui examination, 13th in the second class of the re-examination, 49th in the second class of the temple examination, and 28th in the first class of the imperial examination. The Qing "Yidu County Tuzhi Eunuch Traces" says: "Li Jiale, a native of Gwangju, Henan, a jinshi, Guangxu five years zhiqing prefecture capital." Dedicated to frugality, the royal subordinates are seriously powerful, and the arrogance is screened. "Later, he was sent to Jiangxi as a political envoy and an inspector of Jiangxi. He is the author of "Song Shu", "Imitation of Hidden Poetry Copy", "Poetry Dream Bell Record" and so on. The Draft History of the Qing Dynasty is said to be one of the four frugal officials of the Qing Dynasty.
The relationship between Zhang Zhidong and Ling Qingyun should not be limited to the same family. Zhang Zhidong's greatest achievement was in Hubei, in Wuhan. From 1889 to 1907, Zhang Zhidong served as the governor of Huguang for 19 years, and it can be said that a history of Zhang Zhidong is half of the history of the governor of Huguang. Zhang Zhidong's political proposition of "mastering yi and changing skills to control Yi" was basically completed in Wuhan, including Hanyang Iron Works, Hanyang Arsenal, Luhan Railway, Hubei Weaving Layout, Hubei Spinning Bureau, and so on. In terms of education, Zhang Zhidong spares no effort and does not care about costs. In Wuhan today, there are 5 universities with a history of more than 100 years, and Zhang Zhidong founded 4 of them.
Now we can find some historical materials related to Ling Qingyun, which he left behind during his tenure in Wuhan. In the auction of "Hongsheng 2017 Spring Auction - Past Events Style Special Field" that began on July 30, 2017, there is a piece of "Guangxu Nian Erpin Ding Wearing Hubei Salt Law Road Wuchang Road Ling Qingyun Respectfully Presents a Piece of Folding." Size:99.5×19.9cm"
In a small auction in October 2018, a volume also appeared: "December 14, 2018 of Guangxu" Ling Qingyun played. The fold has 10 sides in a volume, and the text is "Erpin Ding Dai Hubei Salt Law Wuchang Road Presents Reward Feng Yi Zun Shou Shou Zheng Miscellaneous Items of Domestic Sales and Export Revenue and Expenditure (Paper, Size About 23 * 17 cm)".
From the time of the "Twenty-eight Years of Guangxu", it can be deduced that Ling Qingyun served in Wuhan as "Hubei Yanfa Wuchang Dao" around 1902. This time period coincides with Zhang Zhidong's time in Wuhan. With the same branch of the soldiers, the same city as the officials, the exchanges between them are worth our excavation. This is not only Ling Qingyun's personal history, but also the memory of Gwangju.
The Ming Dynasty created the Salt Law Road to supervise local salt affairs. The Salt Law Road is in charge of supervising the production of salt works, estimating the price of salt, managing the affairs of land and water transportation, or concurrently serving as a sub-patrol. Check Baidu Encyclopedia can see that Wuchang Province is located in present-day Wuhan City, Hubei Province. Before the Republic of China, there were originally two Wuchang cities: Wuchang Fucheng, the capital of present-day Hubei Province, and Jiangxia County; and Wuchang County, now the urban area of Ezhou City, was the capital of Wu in the Three Kingdoms. The "Qing History Manuscript and Geographical Chronicle" records: (Wuchang Province) to be, rush, difficult. It is attached to the Salt Law Wuchang Road. Ling Qingyun served in the Yanfa Wuchang Dao, and could be said to be an important member of the side of the town, not to mention this prosperous place of commerce and trade and the thoroughfare of the nine provinces.
In the "Guangxu Dynasty Provinces Painted < And Presented in the Provinces of the Guangxu Dynasty and The Historical Materials of the Public Opinion Map>" (Selected by Xie Xiaohua), which is summarized in the First Historical Archive of China, there is a record of the "Hubei Inspector Tan Jixun For the Completion of the Surveying and Mapping of the Hubei Public Opinion Circle" on the first day of August of the twenty-first year of Guangxu (1895), which compromises:
When zhang zhidong, the current governor, met with the minister Za Rao, set up a general bureau of public opinion in the city of Hubei Province, entrusted Hubei alternate Dao Xizhang, Cai Xiyong, and the Hubei Aftermath Bureau Jianghan GuansiDao and other prime ministers. Si Yin Xizhang transferred the affairs of the Yichang Chuan Salt Bureau, and changed the Hubei Alternate Dao Ling Qingyun To do so... On February 13, 1818, Zhu Approved... According to the Hubei Envoy Long Xiqing, the Hubei Envoy, the Hubei Envoy, the Yanfa Wuchang Dao Qu Tingshao, the Hubei Governor Cen Chungong, the Hubei Yanfa Wuchang Dao, the An Xiang JingDao Zhu Qixuan, the Hubei Han Huangde Dao Yun Fengyi, the Hubei Alternate Dao Zhao Bin, Yan Gongzhao, Cai Xiyong, and Ling Qing Yunxiang said: Feng Tan opened a public opinion map, when the examination was recruited, more than ten people were recruited to study the budget, more than forty students were re-elected, and the three methods of measuring, measuring, and drawing were taught...
This is the seventeenth to eighteenth year of Guangxu. From this, it can be seen that from 1891 to 1892, Ling Qingyun had already arrived in Wuhan, Hubei Province, but at that time it was still "Hubei Alternate Road". Before that, in October 1889, the 52-year-old Zhang Zhidong left Guangzhou and took a boat north from the Pearl River into Wuhan, the seat of the Governor of Huguang.
Regarding Ling Qingyun's early appointment, not much is known at present.
In the Qing Dynasty", the section "Rebuilding the Tomb of Jiashan County" records that at the end of the sixth year of Tongzhi (1867), Jiashan County Ling Qingyun's "Monument to Strictly Prohibiting sticks from obstructing burials" was erected at the entrance of the county court. There was an evil custom of "obstructing burials" in the south of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Ling Qingyun erected this monument at the entrance of the county gate with the intention of strictly visiting and investigating the obstructionists and their protectors.
In the 5th year of the Republic of China, the "Dongqian Lake Chronicle Volume I" included the section "Guangxu Zhi on Lake Affairs", which recorded: "Ling Qingyun of Zhenhai County, Ningbo Province, is a detailed request for the matter". Dongqian Lake, also known as Qian Lake and Wanjin Lake, is a famous scenic spot in Zhejiang Province, 15 kilometers east of Ningbo City. This is the record of Ling Qingyun's early years in Ningbo.
