Based on:
1, Chagong County Local Records, Yibin City Records, Xuyong Mansion Records (Yibin, Ancient Xuyong Mansion), and there is no "Xie" name among local historical celebrities.
2. In the 28th year of Daoguang, Gong Shengxie built a filial stone archway with four columns and three floors for his mother, which was magnificent and exquisite. According to records, it was built in the 28th year of Daoguang (A.D. 1848) and took three and a half years to complete. According to Yibin Evening News, Xie's stone memorial archway of filial piety on Mother's Day is the most famous of the 20 archways in Xuyong House. Inferred from this, Xie is unknown, but it should be a strong gentleman in Gongxian county at that time, with a huge family business and strong family wealth; Although he is qualified to be Gong Sheng, he has never been awarded an official position in his life.
3. The imperial examination system was still implemented in Qing Dynasty, and the system of selecting officials was complicated. There are many juries, tribute students and supervisors, and many old candidates have not been hired. I am afraid of the treatment he will enjoy, and he has no official position.
Based on two classics of Qing Dynasty, Qing Dynasty Rites, Gongju and Qing Dynasty Rites, this paper analyzes the ways to promote officials in Qing Dynasty.
I. Tribute students in Qing Dynasty:
In the imperial examination era, students (scholars) from states, prefectures and counties were selected to study in imperial academy, the capital, and imperial academy was called Gong Sheng. The Qing Dynasty was divided into tribute, bagong, auxiliary tribute, annual tribute, excellent tribute and example tribute. Gong Sheng in the Qing Dynasty, also known as "Ming Jing", was qualified as a candidate for the vice list.
Second, Gong Sheng's post
When I became Gong Sheng, I was qualified as an official in theory. As the main source of officials, the total number of Jinshi, Juren, Gong Sheng and Jiansheng is a variable, and all sentient beings take official positions as their first choice.
For example, Pu Songling, a famous writer, was a "year-old tribute" and later got a false name of "Confucianism".
Third, the way of appointment.
In the Qing Dynasty, there were a large number of juren, tribute students and supervisor students, and the court set up many systems for them to enter the official career, including selection, interception, general election, taking office, grading examination and so on.
Take picking as an example. Juren is selected by the official department. Those who are in their prime register with the magistrate, and those who are in decline register with the teaching staff. After that, you still have to wait for a long time for the official position. Many people have to wait for more than ten years or even twenty or thirty years. Many juren wait until they get official positions, and their strength has declined.
This is the biggest drawback of choice.
Interception, big pick, etc. They are all rigorous choices, and there is no need to repeat them.
Fourth, the ranking of Gong Sheng.
Duke En, Duke Sui, Duke You, Duke Ba, Duke Zi (who studied in imperial academy, and was called "Tribute Vice List") and Example Gong point to the official "aid donation" to obtain the qualification of Gong Sheng, and are divided into Gong, Zeng Gong and Gong. As for whether Xie is a "tribute"? It's still difficult to check.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) archway in Qing Dynasty
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, chastity archway, as a form of education, was valued by all levels. In the middle of Qing Dynasty, the worship of memorial archways reached its peak. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Qing Dynasty issued regulations to shape the architectural form of the archway, and all the costs of building the archway were borne by the builders and clans themselves, and the funds from the state treasury were absolutely not allowed.
The Book of Rites of Daoguang stipulates that scholars and students who undertake the task of cultural education should visit the people to see if there are any women who have lost their husbands in their early twenties and have been unfilial for more than 30 years. Then report the list to the county government level, and then report it to the court step by step, and the court will approve it after review.
Vertical stone workshops need to be reported by officials at all levels and approved by the emperor before they can be built. Therefore, the word imperial edict is usually engraved on the memorial archway to show your majesty's kindness.
Sixth, thank the filial piety archway on Mother's Day
Xie is famous in modern times, built by his mother's archway.
The stone archway at the entrance of Gongxian County, 35 kilometers south of the city, was a filial piety square built by Xie, a local tribute worker in the Qing Dynasty, for his mother He Cihui. This workshop is known as "the first workshop in southern Sichuan".
There is a 2.7-meter-high stone tablet in the northwest of Shifang, engraved with seven laws and four chapters, which records the origin and process of Li Fang. Due to severe weathering, handwriting is difficult to identify and test.
After 150 years, the stone archway still stands tall, and its rich cultural connotation, unique style structure and exquisite calligraphy and painting are amazing.
In 2006, People's Republic of China (PRC) and the State Council announced "Tongshifang" as the national key cultural relics protection unit.
