Qiu Tian (1494- 1556), a native of Shuide Temple (now Sinan County), Sinan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, was a scholar of the Ming Dynasty and an official of Guangdong Province. Being an official for 20 years, dare to speak and do, and tell the truth. He is a saint who developed talents in Guizhou and set up schools in counties, with outstanding merits. From the 11th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (14 13) to Jiajing, there were provincial examinations in 12 provinces all over the country. Only Guizhou Scientific Research Institute is merged into Yunnan Province, and all students who want to take the exam have to take the exam in Kunming, Yunnan. The long road, rugged road and difficult journey have brought great disadvantages to the selection of talents in Guizhou. Yin Fu, a native of Guizhou, also told the court that he had set up his own examination room, but failed to do so. It is often dismissed by the court as "the old system is difficult to change" or "the old system cannot be lightly changed". In this way, the development of education in Guizhou is slow, and the education in remote counties is even more backward. In the ninth year of Jiajing reign of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1530), Qiu Tian presented the book "Opening a Scholar's Department with Macro Culture and Education" to the emperor, and invited him to set up an independent examination room in Guizhou. Fourteen years (AD 1535), approved by the court. In the sixteenth year (A.D. 1537), the first program was launched in Guizhou. Since then, talents from Guizhou have come forth in large numbers, catching up with the Central Plains.

all one's life
Qiu Tian (1494- 1556) was born in Shuidesi, Sinan Prefecture, Guizhou Province in the Ming Dynasty. According to Jiajing's Records of Sinan Mansion and Jiajing Mansion Map in Ming Dynasty, "Tian Zhai" is located at the foot of Dayanguan Mountain in the west of Sinan City (the west foot of Qiu Tian or its origin). There are "Yakui" and "Jinshi" archways in front of the house. Its "Jinshi Square" is "Li Wenmin, the magistrate in the first year of Jiajing (1522), and (15 14) was appointed as Jinshi Tian" (Annals of Sinan County in Jiajing, Ming Dynasty).
Qiu Tian was born into a family of officials and scholars. He studies hard and is very clever. At the age of thirteen, he was a scholar. In the fifth year of Zheng De (A.D. 15 10), at the age of seventeen, he worked as a juror in Yunnan. After nine years (A.D. 15 14), he entered the DPRK at the age of 20 and passed the examination as a scholar. In the first year of Jiajing (A.D. 1522), Ming Shizong was an official in Yanping Prefecture, Fujian Province. In the sixth year (A.D. 1527), he served as an official of Hejian Prefecture in Zhili; The following year, he was appointed as an official of the Ministry of Housing. In June of the ninth year (A.D. 1530) and the fifteenth year (A.D. 1530), he was shocked to learn that his two sons had successively lost their lives in Beijing after trying unsuccessfully. I was so sad and confused that I resigned and returned to China. After that, he taught in his hometown until he died at the age of 63 in 35 years (AD 1556). Tianjiaba buried in the east of Sinan City (behind Qiu Tian Primary School).
suggestion
Qiu Tian is an honest official, outspoken, upright and upright, and has made outstanding contributions. He abolished the imperial supervisor's excessive support for royal meals, cleaned up the waste of wealth in Guanglu Temple, cut down the excessive labor in Taichang Temple, cut down the redundant expenses of the imperial horse supervisor as appropriate, and advised the emperor not to waste people and money during sacrifice and burial. Yunnan town officials abused government, the imperial court was beyond their reach, officials in Beijing dared not ask questions, he played impeachment and so on. Qiu Tian's greatest achievement is that he cares about the cultural construction in his hometown. He first proposed to set up state and county schools in Guizhou to recruit students from the nobility. In the 11th year of Yongle (A.D. 14 13), Guizhou was established as a province. In the following 120 years, many scholars had to go to Yunnan thousands of miles away to take the exam because they had no hometown. Except for a few wealthy families, many poor people are powerless. So I buried a lot of talents. Qiu Tianli urged Guizhou to establish rural areas. In the 9th year of Jiajing of Sejong in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1530), he issued a letter to the emperor, set up an examination room in Guizhou, and had a provincial examination. Fourteen years (AD 1535), approved by the court. In the sixteenth year (A.D. 1537), the first program was opened in Guizhou, with an initial quota of 25 people. Open the province, save labor and expenses, increase the number of scholars, and from then on, Guizhou talents are everywhere, catching up with the Central Plains. In the tenth year of Jiajing (A.D. 153 1 year), he also participated in the "Please build Wuchuan, Anshun and Yinjiang to study sparse" and was also approved. Schools were set up in succession in the three places, which contributed to the development of education in Guizhou. Qiu Tian can write poetry, and he is good at calligraphy. There is a stone near Dejiang road, which is several feet high and has the words "pillar in Guizhou" on it. This was written by Qiu Tian in the third year of Jiajing (AD 1524).
