approached Shangshu Mansion
□fangcun
In the 43rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, a major natural disaster occurred in Ninghaizhou , starving many people to death, and local officials reported good news but not bad news. Li Yongshao was ordered to inspect the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. On the way back to Beijing, he went back to his hometown to check it out, and saw the tragic situation of starvation everywhere. He was extremely sad, abandoning the doctrine of the mean, not afraid of offending local officials, and wrote "Jiashen Lament - Kangxi Jiashen Recommends Hunger for the Year" to request an order to relieve disasters. The sad lament, sadness, and deep affection between the lines deeply moved Emperor Kangxi, who agreed with embarrassment.
"Who would like the rain to pass the plow? The rain rises and the South River has no land." "Don't say that the emperor is warm all the time, and there are still kids and clothes in the world." " drought disasters are in full swing, and the people are looking forward to the sky high"... Looking through his "Draft of the Poems of Yueshan Pavilion", I couldn't help but sigh that no matter whether I retired in office, Li Shangshu always cared about people's livelihood. It's really "the wind is worried about rain is worried."
I heard that there is a Shangshu Mansion in Jiejiazhuang, Laishan. I, who advocates Shangshu culture, can't wait to go and see it.
"Shang" has multiple meanings. "The Records of the Grand Historian Suoyin" says: "Shang is the best, and the words are long and far away." There is an explanation in " Ciyuan ": "Shun still meets the emperor." Shang is the best, and the meaning of upward is to be upright, with a meaning of superiority, "Yao is high above, and Shun is humble at the bottom." "Xu Song Pian" says: "I asked "Shang Shu", and said: Shang is the best; what the superior does is the best," which is written by the emperor." It means that "Shang Shu" is the "Book of the superior", which is the emperor's book. "Shang" should also include the meaning of admiration. The Confucian people represented by Confucian selected the words of kings such as Yao and Shun that conform to the Confucian Taoist tradition, and built them into their own ethical idols, embodying, promoting and inheriting Confucian moral concepts and moral governance ideas.
"Shangshu" is the first reliable history in China since history. It is a symbol of the formation of ancient Chinese prose. Its "virtue governance" proposition profoundly influences later generations. The Secretary of State is still an official position. At first, he was just a clerk who sent and received documents and was "only in charge of the memorials". Later, his power expanded rapidly, from "communication" to "reading the memorials" to "reprinting" and "judgment", gradually seizing some of the powers of the prime minister and the censor, and gradually gaining control of personnel power, and even supervising the impeachment of senior officials. During the Han Dynasty, Shangshutai became the highest administrative agency in the country, and Sanfu was demoted to the executive agency that received the order. "The election and reward were issued by the Shangshu. The Shangshu was appointed as the three ministers." During the Three Kingdoms Cao Wei period, Cao began to be divided into the Shangshutai, from four Caos to five Caos and six Caos (the predecessor of the Six Ministry), and the Chinese bureaucracy began to transform from the " Three Dukes and Nine Ministers" system to the "three provinces and six ministers" system. Sui Dynasty Fashion Book has become a ministerial officer of the central government. He obeyed the emperor directly during the Ming Dynasty and rose to the peak during the Qing Dynasty.
Why did the Shangshu develop from a small minor official in during the Warring States Period to a first-rank official in the Qing Dynasty? Directly listening to the upper class, reflecting public opinion, quickly conveying the upper class, and achieving people's livelihood should be the core essence of Shangshu culture.
Li Yongshao is such a minister who uploaded and paid attention to people's livelihood. He was an official in the Kangxi and Yong Dynasty. He had outstanding political achievements and a good official reputation.
February, dragon raises its head , the emperor plows the land and drives the cattle. That year, the Emperor Kangxi led all officials to worship the ancestors and pray for a good harvest. He stood in the ground with a plow, looking around the ministers watching, and asked who could lead the cow. Li Yongshao answered and steadily held the bull's nose. Kangxi was very happy and rewarded the cow for him. He sent the cow back to his hometown. Everyone in his hometown knew that the cow was given by the emperor, so he did not dare to put it on a rope, nor did he dare to enclose it in a fence, nor did he dare to let it pull the plow. Without reins, the cow is free and free, traveling south and north every day, many crops are affected. The people dare not complain and complain. Later, when Li Yongshao heard that he had someone kill the cow, he told Emperor Kangxi that the cow would not be able to accept the local conditions and live a life of life. This not only relieved the suffering of the people but also saved the family's disaster.

"Who would like the rain to pass the plow? The rain rises and the Nanhe River has no land." "Don't say that the emperor is warm all the time, and there are still kids and clothes in the world." "The drought and bait are in full swing, and the disasters are so prosperous, and the people are looking forward to the sky high"... Looking through his "Draft of the Poems of Yueshan Pavilion", I couldn't help but sigh that no matter whether I retired in office, Li Shangshu always cared about people's livelihood. It was really "the wind is worried about rain is worried."
Li Yongshao is not only a good official who has the people in his heart and is dedicated to the country, but also a good son, grandchildren and good parent. He inherited and greatly promoted the Li family style. According to Li Yuping, the 18th generation descendant (Li Yongshao is the seventh generation), Li Donglu, the fourth generation ancestor of the Li family, established the ancestral teachings of "farming and reading and passing on the family", and later generations always remembered and followed them in parallel; Li Chuyan, the fifth generation ancestor, was Li Yongshao's grandfather, and often supported poor families. The name "Yongshao" was given by him, hoping to uphold the ancestral teachings; Li Yongshao did not disappoint his grandfather's expectations, not only did he achieve "farming and reading and passing on the family", but also set the rule of "establishing a family innocence", warning his descendants to "just be the official who is chewed off the roots of the vegetable, but he is not only at ease to serve the country." "You are innocent officials in Jiangnan, and adults are like continuing to maintain the reputation of the family." Before his death, he also specifically instructed that no coffin should be buried in a heavy coffin or occupy more land, except for court beads and and poem manuscripts, no other burial objects should be allowed.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai wanted to edit " Qing History Draft " and sent someone to find Li Zibin (the descendant of Li Yongshao) to donate 50,000 "Yuan Datou". Without any speculation, Li Zibin said, "My Shangshu has left behind when he died, and future generations are not allowed to use money to buy false reputation!" He flatly refused. The person who came was very annoyed and angrily disqualified Li Yongshao's qualification to write a biography.
History review is a good thing that benefits the country, the people and the future. In theory, the Li family, who have always served the country and cared about the people's livelihood, should not refuse, but instead donate generously. The reason why the negotiations were not reached is probably because of the different historical views. The descendants of the Li family adhered to the teachings of ancestors and believed that the writing of historical books should not be related to money and power. For example, "Donate money will be included in history, and if you donate money, you will not be included in history; if you donate more money, you will be higher in writing, and if you donate less, you will be lower in writing." Perhaps in their opinion, no matter whether they donate money or not, those that should be recorded in history should not be excluded, and those that should not be recorded in history should not be left behind even if they donate money. What the descendants of Li family rejected was not the history writing itself, but the biased historical view of the history writers at that time.
The Li family has been around for hundreds of years. There are more than 200 officials in the clan, but none of them are corrupt officials. The reason should be because of this good family tradition.
In the fifth year of Yongzheng, Li Yongshao retired and returned home. Yongzheng The emperor was grateful for his lifelong achievements and issued an edict, and the imperial court allocated funds to build the Shangshu Mansion in his hometown. It covers an area of 20 acres and has more than 100 houses. It is located in the center of Hebei, Xin'an, Weizi Mountain, and Xijiejiazhuang Village. Four magnificent five-bedroom houses stand in sequence, lined up one after another, arranged in an orderly manner. Local officials passed by, civil servants got off the sedan chair and military officers got off the horse. After a hundred years of ups and downs, the size of the Shangshu Mansion has long disappeared, but it still stands tall. Relevant departments listed it as a key integrity cultural project in the city, increased protection efforts, and repaired several times.
The red painted wooden door is closed tightly, and the copper door ring is shining. There is an sycamore tree in front of the door, with lush branches and leaves. The wind blew by, the leaves rustled, and the sound of the sages of ancestors seemed to be lingering in my ears. The house may eventually be dilapidated and disappear, and the voices and appearances of ancestors will eventually be annihilated with history, but their legacy will last forever!
