Hu Zuanzong: (AD 1480-1560), with the courtesy name Shifu and Kequan. He was named Niaoshushanren, a native of Qin'an County, and was a Jinshi in the third year of Zhengde of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty (1508). He was appointed to the Hanlin Academy for review. After 1510 AD, he served as the judge of Jiading Prefecture, the prefect of Anqing and Suzhou, and the governor of Shandong and Henan, and traveled all over the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains. Hu Zuanzong was an official who cared about the people and was a courteous man. He was responsible for Fusui'an and his integrity. He was famous throughout the country. In 1534 AD, he resigned from office and returned home, and then opened a pavilion to write books. There are 14 books handed down to the world, including "Collection of Birds and Rats Mountain People", "Anqing Prefecture Chronicles", "Suzhou Prefecture Chronicles" and "Qinzhou Chronicles". Hu Zuanzong was also a calligrapher. Now there are "Sea Calm Waves" in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, "Golden Sound and Jade Vibration" in Qufu Confucius Temple, and "According to Heaven and Earth" in Fuxi Temple in Tianshui. These are Hu Zuanzong's powerful and vigorous calligraphy.
Based on what he had seen with his own eyes for three years as an official, Hu Zuanzong made a self-examination of most of his life on his way back to his hometown of Qin'an, Gansu Province in the winter of this year, so as to gain a sense of the changeable fate. With helplessness, the dangers and coldness of his official career, he positioned his remaining years on the inward-oriented life coordinate of "opening a pavilion and writing books". The loess of Longshan gave him the uprightness, courage and perseverance in the first half of his life, and the Wei River and blue sky of Longyou also gave him the grace and abundance in the second half of his life. Before the age of sixty, the gentle breeze of Dadiwan accompanied him on the bumpy and capricious journey of life; after the age of sixty, the people of Nvwo used their generous and honest smiles to treat their frost-covered manes and dusty travels. He took it back. The unity of the two is reflected in his journey in the spiritual world (poetry, calligraphy, historical chronicles, etc.) that he began at the beginning of this year, using his indifferent mood, rich experience, and wisdom and keen insight as pillars. , forming a passionate, tragic and concerned about people's livelihood. A unique style that is painful and passionate but never flattering. The third day of September in the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing (1560) was the day Hu Zuanzong passed away. That year, he was eighty-one years old. During these twenty-one years under the reflection of the mountains and rivers of his hometown, he enjoyed the beauty of family relationships and drank the nectar of thought and spirit. This moment should be the happiest. The 18 volumes of "Niao Shu Shan Ren Ji" left behind him, and more than 4 volumes of "Niao Ya Weng Yue Fu" and "Nuo Han Yue Fu" were included in ("History of the Ming Dynasty, Zhi Zhi"), "Jin Qi Lu" , "Yuanxuebian", "Anqing Prefecture Chronicles", "Suzhou Prefecture Chronicles", "Qin'an Chronicles", "Gongchang Prefecture Chronicles", "Qin and Han Dynasties", "Yongyin", "Ritual Collection Annotations", "Spring and Autumn Collection" "Biography", "Du Zi Lu" and other books are enough to fill a lifetime. It is precisely these works, mostly created in his later years, that made him a well-known writer in Gansu during the Ming Dynasty. It is the greatest reward that fate can give to a person with an outstanding mind. When he was overjoyed, he should be proud and relieved that he had made such a decisive choice at this critical moment in his life.
