Yan Ne, whose real name is Min Qing, was born in Tang Wuqiushan, Changshu City, Ming Dynasty. Strict and talented. When I was a child, I studied in Dongxi's home, and my uncle was in Xinjing. I often took a bath in the river and hung my clothes among the trees. Things are very angry when they see this. He occasionally said that "a big tree is a clothes hanger", and Yan Ne casually said that "a long river is a bathtub." Things are quite satisfactory after listening to them, and it is not surprising to know that he has extraordinary ambitions. Yan Ne is a little longer, lives in Hokkeji, Cheng Lang, and studies tirelessly. He wrote the ancient music poem "Reading at Autumn Night in Cheng Lang": "The night is quiet, the moon is shining high, the sound can't reach the countryside, and the wind is whistling in the shade. The smell of duck stove is fragrant and green. String refers to the outflow mountain, crane dream tree. At the end of the song, I was worried and complained that the green light from the White House flooded my youth. Jin Ma Yu Tang, Lin Wen Hu Bao is difficult to enter. After all, it is to cultivate teeth and claws. It's still early, let's discuss it. " This poem tells the scene and mood of his reading at night at that time, which is passed down to later generations and regarded as a much-told story by scholars. In Cheng Lang Temple written by Xu in Qing Dynasty, "There is a bay in the west of the small town, and Qiu Qiu is beautiful with two flowers. In the previous dynasties, this was a place where people lived in love, allowing poetry to spread widely. " The former power here refers to Yan Ne's reading in Autumn Night in Cheng Lang.

Zhu Houzong, Emperor Jiajing of Shizong in the Ming Dynasty, was a fatuous king. He was obsessed with immortals and loved the art of immortality. He fasted in the palace, and raised a group of Taoist priests who specialized in shaking money, and often set up altars to seek immortality in an attempt to become an immortal emperor. So he didn't care about state affairs for more than twenty years in forty-five years. Yan Song and his son have been playing politics for a long time, manipulating state affairs, embezzling military salaries and being politically corrupt. The Tatar nobles in the north often attack south, and pirates in the southeast constantly invade, so the situation is more serious and the society is in turmoil. In view of this, after Yan Na came to power, she proposed to Xu Jie, the records, that we should eliminate all kinds of disadvantages caused by Yan Song's authoritarian power, reform state affairs, and get the support of Xu Jie.

For example, ordinary small officials, such as Lu Guangzu, were promoted to left assistant minister, responsible for the assessment and selection of talents, and achieved remarkable results. Another example is the promotion of Harry from Nanping to the Minister of Housing. It was this Hai Rui who visited Emperor Jiajing in the forty-fifth year of Jiajing and accused him of long-term neglect of state affairs, superstition of Taoism, specializing in fasting, plundering people's wealth, building palaces and killing Zhongliang. Emperor Jiajing was furious and put Harry in prison for execution. Although Yan Ne had left the imperial court at this time, he admired Harry's loyalty, honesty, courage, fortitude and the spirit of daring to tell the truth. When he got the news that Harry was imprisoned and died, he immediately contacted Xu Jie's records and actively rescued him. It happened that Emperor Jiajing died of Dan poisoning, and his son took the throne for Ming Muzong. With Xu Jie's testamentary edict, the minister who was about to commit a crime was released, and the Taoist priest was convicted, so Harry was released from prison and saved from death.

During Yan Ne's tenure as an official in the DPRK, the Sanwu area suffered from pirates and famine, and the people were displaced and lost their lives, while local officials still stepped up their efforts to collect food and donate money. Yan Ne pleaded for the people many times, saying that the people were suffering, and that "the emperor was moved by it and reported what he asked", which exempted the people in Sanwu area. The people are grateful for Yan Ne's respect and call him "Yan Lao Buddha".

In the forty-fourth year of Jiajing (1565), in March, Yan Na was promoted to a bachelor's degree in Wuyingdian and participated in aircraft maintenance. However, Emperor Jiajing was headstrong and stubborn, and the bad habits of officialdom were dark and hard to change. The wind of official corruption is getting stronger and stronger.

Clean the food every morning and evening, show filial piety, repay the kindness of parents, and be filial. Sometimes I amuse myself by reading at home, and sometimes I travel alone, never causing trouble to the local area. Cheng Lang, where he studied on autumn nights, is the place where he often goes and writes poems to commemorate this fact. "Autumn Process Lang": "The boat is not shallow, floating in Tang Fang at dusk, caressing the scenery and thinking, hitting the song list; Autumn waters meet the sky, the breeze spreads to Gui Xiang, seagulls are leisurely, and I am soaring. " Thus, Yan Ne admires and misses Cheng Lang, the place where he studied as a teenager.

In her spare time, Yanne often fishes by the river. Today, Miaobang Village in Tang City has the place name "Yuxianmen", and jiyan often fishes here, hence the name.
