Tao Zongyi, 90% is from Huangyan. Father Yu is in charge of hospitals in Fujian. Zong Yi is young and old, and his sprinkling is extraordinary. Give less to Jinshi, and if you miss it, you will be abandoned. Work articles, especially deliberate calligraphy. To the right, Zhejiang Shuaitai Buhua, Nantai Shi Yu Ugly Princess holds the school official, which is neither right nor wrong. In the first area of the Art Garden, after ploughing, follow me with pen and ink, and tuck my knees and sigh when returning farmland under the shade of trees. Every time I think of something, I need to pick up Ye Shu, store a broken angel, and bury it in the roots, which is unpredictable. If so, it will take ten years, and then decades. One day, I extracted all my books and recorded them, with a total of 30 volumes, entitled "South Village Dropped Out of Farming". There are one hundred volumes of Wan Shuo, nine volumes of Shu Shi Yao and two volumes of Four Books Yi Bei. Those who didn't write the manuscript were absent-minded
Translation:
Tao was born in Huangyan (now Taizhou, Zhejiang). His father Tao Yu used to be an official in Fujian. Tao likes antiques since he was a child, and he is free and easy. When I was young, I took the Jinshi exam, but I gave up the first time I didn't pass it. Good at writing articles, especially concentrating on calligraphy. During (), Marshal Zhejiang (official name) Taibuhua (official name) and ugly girl Lu (official name) of Nantai hired him as the school official (official name), but they didn't accept him. I opened a nursery. When I have time to farm my own land, I take pen and ink with me. I often stop farming, crouch in the shade and sigh with my knees. Every time I record something, I pick the leaves and write them on it, put them in a broken jar and bury them in the roots when I leave. Nobody knows what to write. After ten years, dozens of cans have been accumulated. One day, all of them were dug up, collected and catalogued into a set with a title of * * * 30 volumes, which was called "Nancun Tuition". He also wrote 100 volume of Wan Shuo, 9 volumes of Shu and 2 volumes of Four Books. Those who haven't finished writing don't count.
Huang Daopo had a great influence on the development of cotton textile industry after Yuan Dynasty, which is discussed in Chapter 4 of Part C of this volume. Huang Daopo's "skills" are not recorded in all kinds of official history books, but are slightly mentioned in private notes and miscellaneous poems after Yuan Dynasty, and the contents are mostly the same. Although these records are not very accurate, they are important materials for us to understand Huang Daopo's life.
Huang Daopo's date of birth and death is unknown, and the word "Daopo" is undoubtedly the honorific title of future generations. About Huang Daopo, the earliest one is Tao's Record of Dropping out of Farming at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty.
There are many kinds of kapok in Fujian and Guangxi, and its spinning performance is cloth, which is called "Jibei". Songjiang prefecture is five miles to the east, and it is called Wunijing. The land is barren and the people don't give food. Because they seek tree art and make a living with their capital, they seek to plant trees there. At the beginning, there was no system of stepping on the vertebral arch. It was very difficult to cut off the child by hand and put the string and bamboo arc in the middle to shake off the agent. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a man from Huang Daopo came from Yazhou to teach him how to make textiles for bulletproof vests. As for the color matching of the wrong yarn, healds have their own methods. So I woven a quilt belt with the words "Phoenix Chess" stacked on it, which was very embarrassing. People are taught and strive for action; When the goods are transferred to other counties, the home is cloudy. A few days later, he died and was buried with gratitude and tears; He also set up a shrine and enjoyed it at the age of 30. Thirty years later, the shrine was destroyed and villager Zhao Yuxuan was re-established. Today's words were destroyed and no one created them. The name Daopo is gradually disappearing into obscurity.

In Guangdong and Fujian, kapok is planted and spun into cloth, which is called "Jibei". Songjiang Prefecture (now Shanghai) is about 50 miles east, which is called Wunijing. The land here is barren, and people don't have enough to eat, so they learn to grow kapok to make a living, so they go to Fujian and Guangdong to ask for books. At first, there were no treadmills, tricycles and other equipment. All cottonseed is peeled by hand, with strings as strings and bamboo as bows, placed between hands and fingered into lint, which takes a lot of effort. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty (generally speaking, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty), an old woman named Huang Daopo came to Songjiang from Yazhou (now Hainan) to teach people to make convenient tools for cotton beating and spinning. As for spinning different cotton yarns, there are ways to arrange colors and arrange yarns to form patterns. Therefore, the woven bedding, clothes belt and handkerchief are as clear as the words "broken branches, phoenix, chess game" written on it. After being taught by her, people rushed to operate; If it is resold to other places, the family will be rich. It wasn't long before Huang Daopo died, and no one appreciated it, and no one cried. * * * buried her with Ann; She also got a shrine, and she was sacrificed on holidays. Thirty years later, the shrine was destroyed and the local Zhao Yuxuan rebuilt it for her. Now the ancestral temple is broken again, and no one has built it for her. Huang Daopo's name, gradually disappear.
