What kind of person is Teng in history?

Teng is his autonomous prefecture, in Jingzhou, northwest Gansu Province. This is a desolate place, with border barriers and turmoil. "It is to gather thousands of peasants to take the city" and "welcome Fan Zhongyan to lead some Han soldiers to help". After that, he used public funds to reward the border soldiers, pay homage to the heroes and support the survivors. After a year, someone impeached Teng Zijing for abusing public funds, and "tens of thousands of pieces disappeared", so the "Jingzhou embezzlement case" was raging. Due to the explanations of Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan, Fang was not sentenced, but was demoted. So there was a saying that "in the spring of the fourth year of Li Qing, Teng guarded Baling County".

After Teng arrived in Baling, regardless of personal gains and losses, he put state affairs first, worked diligently for the people, and did several good things, such as expanding schools, building long levees for flood control, and rebuilding Yueyang Tower. These things have been praised by the people. As a result, within two years, the government is harmonious and prosperous, "ruling the world best." After the Yueyang Tower was rebuilt, he wrote to his friend Fan Zhongyan and asked him to take notes to help this "temporary event".

Extended data Teng Zongliang (990-1047) was born in Luoyang, Henan Province in the Northern Song Dynasty. He is known to the world for Fan Zhongyan's The Story of Yueyang Tower. There are statues of Fan Zhongyan and Teng in the Shuangmiao of Yueyang Tower (right).

Teng, Fan Zhongyan and Liu Yueju are the same group of scholars. Fan Zhongyan was appointed as the salt official of Xixi (now Dongtai, Jiangsu Province) when he was first awarded the judge of Taizhou Army. He suggested that Taizhou well-known Zhang Lun build a seawall weir, and recommended Teng as his assistant. Teng has shown extraordinary talent in building seawalls and weirs, and has been highly praised. Later, they moved to Dangtu (now dangtu county, Anhui) and Shaowu (now Shaowu, Fujian). After Fan Zhongyan was promoted to Beijing as an official, he was rewarded for his talent and was called to the examination institute. Tian Shengzhong was also appointed as Dali Temple Cheng, responsible for reviewing prison cases.
