I found the inscription "Bao" on the genealogy "Lotus Handroll" compiled by Shen Li, nephew of Shen Kuo, a scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty, for Bao Zheng, a great official in the Northern Song Dynasty, on a set of genealogy "Bao Zheng Genealogy" in the fourth year of Qing Dynasty (1833), which is very precious. This genealogy includes not only Bao Zheng's personal instructions, but also famous artists such as Fan Zhongyan, Shen Li, Han Xizai, Hu Quan, Zhao Ruyu, Fang, Qian Xiangzu, Zhang Jiucheng, Li Zongmian, Wang Jue and Zhang Huan. , have left a rare Mo Bao, which is extremely rare.
Shen Kuo, a famous scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty, is well known to all women and children. Shen Kuo's nephew Shen Li is almost unknown, but he is not an ordinary person. He is a well-read man and an honest official. He was the first in the trial, because he was tried as an official, so he ranked second and only got the second place. He is honest and clean, benefiting one party, self-denial, loyalty and filial piety, and is praised.
Shen Li, a native of Qiantang County, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province (now Hangzhou), was born in Tiansheng, Song Renzong for three years (1025) and died in Zhiping, Song Yingzong for four years (1067). He is 43 years old. They are also called "Three Gods" with their younger brother Shen Liao and uncle Shen Kuo. In the first year of you (1049), the year of weak crown, the champion in the middle, ranking second. As the judge of jiangning house, he recited this rule 10, which was appreciated by Injong. In addition to Ji Xian's school management, he soon gave up his family for his daily life, made residence notes and added imperial edicts. Because of his father's crime, he was dismissed from office and learned about Yuezhou. In the seventh year of Jiayou (1062), he was a doctor of Shangshu Ritual Department and moved to Hangzhou. When Yingzong moved to Longtuge, he was called Kaifeng House.
Shen Li is talented and well versed in official management. He has served as the magistrate of Yuezhou, Hangzhou and Kaifeng. Wherever he went, he forbade his behavior with kindness and prestige, and made many achievements. The people all praised him: "This Hangzhou is also Shen Gong." People unable to funeral, give relief; For orphans, there are hundreds who marry themselves; Those who have a good daughter as a prostitute will be asked to take it back from their parents. He also presided over the drilling of wells in Hangzhou to draw water from the West Lake into the city for the convenience of the people, and called it "Shen Gongjing". Every scribe will choose his sage and be praised for it. Being honest with others, subordinates are willing to work hard for it, so more backward people joined at that time. It only takes half a day to deal with government affairs, and you can also talk and laugh with the guests' old friends. "You have free time", my friend said yes.
God was jealous of his talent and died young. He lived a short life of forty-three years without regrets and died in sorrow. The people of Sri Lanka have passed away and their spirit will live on forever. Xixi Collection (volume 10) and the general examination of literature are handed down to future generations. Wonderful life, although short, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, honest and clean, serving the officials and the people, loving the people as relatives, and living a long life after death!
Shen Li searched by Baidu is rare in Mo Bao and passed down from generation to generation. He can only be found in China's Rare Records of Running Books (Tianjin People's Fine Arts Publishing House), which contains Shen Li's letters and feet. Shen Li's handwriting, written in big letters, is vigorous and powerful, and his heart is correct. As can be seen from the Bachelor, Mo Bao should be written in the posts of Bachelor of Longtuge and Bachelor of Hanlin. Genealogy is a family heirloom, and Shen Li's inscription "Bao" fully illustrates this point. Shen Li and Bao Zheng successively served as Kaifeng magistrate. They are noble and congenial. It is natural to appreciate each other. Bao Zheng compiled a genealogy and Shen Li wrote an inscription to support it. Mo Bao's discovery has important reference value for studying Shen Li's life and calligraphy art.
