Feng Menglong of Shouningzhi County in the Ming Dynasty

In the third year of Chongzhen (1630), the 57-year-old Feng Menglong was forced to choose to pay tribute due to many years of failure in scientific examinations (referring to the selection of some people from among those who failed the township examination to be academic officials in prefectures and counties, and could not participate in the imperial examination from then on), first to Dantu County, Jiangsu Province, and four years later as Zhi County, Shouning County, Fujian Province. At this time, in the face of him, not only did he have the harsh natural conditions of Shouning County, such as the barren mountains, difficulties in farming, and shallow vegetation, but also faced with the common social bad habits such as heavy servitude, the poverty of the people, and the drowning of wives and daughters. All these show that a good county with "official small ambitions is not small", and I think it has also made the following reference for future generations: The land has the following references: The land has the difference between size, danger, and barrenness, and people have no ambitions to be lofty, for the official side, when the development of one side is the most important, can not think that the snail lives in one place, it will go with nature, rule by nothing, and the political achievements are large or small, and the historical records and commentaries have been recorded that it must be remembered that it is in the twilight years that we must look back, and we can talk about some things, and we can talk about some things, and we can be ashamed in our hearts and be at peace for a hundred years.
