The new branch of "clear and distinct"
Chen Wenlong's original name was Chen Zilong, and his father hoped that he would grow up to be like Zhao Zilong of the Three Kingdoms.
In September of the fourth year of Xianchun (1268), when Emperor Duzong of Song was reading the examination papers, he was fascinated by Chen Zilong's works and blurted out: "True splendid articles also!" "The extremely excited Song Duzong not only hand-picked Chen Zilong as a champion, but also renamed Zilong Zilong as Wenlong on the spot and gave him the character Junben." Ben", the meaning of the VIP's arrival, that is, Chen Wenlong, who has outstanding literary talent, is regarded as a long-awaited distinguished guest.

When Chen Wenlong's gold list was inscribed, the chancellor Jia Xiangdao discovered that Emperor Duzong appreciated Chen Wenlong, so he tried his best to win him over and promote him, hoping that he would "know the reward of grace". However, Chen Wenlong did not appreciate it, and publicly stated that he was an official and "could not do it for personal gain."
Because of Chen Wenlong's outstanding literary talent, he made an exception and added officials, and was awarded the title of Judge of Xuanyi Lang and Zhendong Army Festival, stationed in Jieyue Prefecture. Yuezhou was a place where imperial relatives and relatives lived, and it was often difficult for local officials to achieve success. After Chen Wenlong took office, he vigorously carried out the work of eliminating political malpractice, enforcing the law impartially, being jealous and hateful, caring for the people, and making outstanding political voices.
Outspoken "Sunrise Mingfeng"
Soon, Chen Wenlong was promoted to inspector of imperial history, and he officially "just" became Jia Xiangdao. At that time, the transfer of western Zhejiang made Hong Qiwei, under the instruction of Jia Xiangdao, play the "field-like law" that was not implemented during the time of Emperor Lizong, resulting in "the people of the six counties in western Zhejiang, and many people who broke their homes", and the people's resentment boiled over.
Chen Wenlong urged Chen to gain and lose, and demanded that Hong Qiwei be severely punished, forcing Jia Rudao to abolish this law, which was able to quell the uproar. The people clapped their hands and applauded, "Celebrating the Gentry School" and praising Chen Wenlong for "being the ming phoenix of the rising sun".
In the ninth year of Xianchun (1273), because Ofa's son-in-law Fan Wenhu fled, the towns of Xiang and Fan, which had been besieged for six years, fell one after another. For a moment, the government and the opposition were shaken, and public opinion was in an uproar. In order to cover up his guilt, Jia Rudao only demoted Fan Wenhu to the first rank and served as the prefect of Anqing.
Chen Wenlong was extremely indignant when he learned of this, and Shangshu accused Jia Xiangdao of improperly employing people and impeached Fan Wenhu and others. Chen Wenlong, who was outspoken and outspoken, angered Jia Xiangdao and was demoted to Fuzhou.
During his tenure in Fuzhou, Chen Wenlong still did not change his original intention and won the hearts of the people. Jia Rudao could not find an excuse for a while, so he dismissed him on the false charge of "urging Ke Jun" to be an official.
A national hero with iron blood and courage
In the eleventh year of Xianchun (1275), Chen Wenlong, in the case of the Yuan army marching south and the Southern Song Dynasty in a precarious situation, as a member of the governor's political affairs, was also an envoy of Fujian Guangxuan, zhixinghua army, scattered his family wealth, recruited thousands of troops, and was determined to die.
After the fall of Fuzhou and Quanzhou, Xinghua City became a lone fortress. Chen Wenlong used his strange troops to set up an ambush at NangShan and destroyed thousands of Yuan soldiers. He raised the banner of "Born as a Song Minister, Died as a Song Ghost" on the walls of Xinghua Province, and refused to accept the persuasion to surrender.
Finally, due to the betrayal of the rebels, the Yuan soldiers broke the city. The scarred Chen Wenlong was captured as much as possible, and when he saw the Yuan soldiers indiscriminately killing innocents, he shouted, "Kill me quickly, don't harm the people!" ”

Because of his refusal to surrender, Chen Wenlong was escorted to Fuzhou. In prison, he wrote to his son the poem "Sending Zhongzi":
The fortress is lonely and dangerous, and the students are determined to be difficult to move.
Since the passage of the ditch is not my business, the death of the subject is at this time.
The prisoners were overwhelmed with fear, and they did not hear the flag of the martyr tree.
A hundred fingers have been exhausted, but only the heavens and the earth know.
On April 25 of the second year of Jing Yan (1277) (lunar calendar), Chen Wenlong, who was escorted by the Yuan army to Hangzhou, went on hunger strike all the way, and died after visiting Yue Fei Temple that night, at the age of 45, and was buried next to the Zhiguo Temple in Hangzhou's West Lake. His mother, who was also imprisoned in Fuzhou, died of hunger strike after learning of it. Earlier, Chen Wenlong's brother and wife Zhu Shi also preferred to die unyieldingly and hanged themselves. His uncle Chen Zhan continued the struggle against the Yuan, and for a time he regained the city of Fuhua, but was later captured because he was outnumbered and was torn apart by car for refusing to surrender.
Chen Wenlong is full of loyal and fierce, strong mountains and rivers, and biao bing's history.

Since the Ming Dynasty, Chen Wenlong has been enfeoffed as the Fuzhou Fucheng Emperor, the Shuibu Shangshu, and the Zhenhai King, and there is still a saying in Fujian and Taiwan that "official ships worship Shangshu, and civilian ships worship Mazu".
In the 30th year of Qing Daoguang (1850), Lin Zexu went to the "Wanshou Shangshu Temple" in Taijiang, Fuzhou, to worship Chen Wenlong, and inscribed a couplet: "Jiezhen Shouxiangbang, Zhongjingyan is difficult to support, a generation of loyal and loyal history; Yingling Zhaohai, and The name of Xinguolong, and the Ten Continents Qingyan Battle God." Chen Wenlong and Wen Tianxiang were likened to "stand by their names and stand together" and fully affirmed Chen Wenlong's patriotic spirit.

In 1919, when Yan Fu returned to his hometown in his later years, out of admiration for the national hero Chen Wenlong and in view of the loyalty of Chen Wenlong's family and martyrdom for the country, he was determined to rebuild the "Shangshu Ancestral Temple" in Yangqi and personally wrote the "Notice of Rebuilding the Shangshu Ancestral Temple".
