"With the garden fairy collectors play romantic, write about the old tour. He Zhong, the cashier, and Gu Teng packed two jiaozi. " This is a poem written by Wu Shaocha, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, in Shuyang County, facing the wisteria tree planted by the great poet Yuan Mei. This vine planted by Yuan Mei himself has a history of nearly 300 years, and still stands vigorously in the compound of Shuyang county government.
Brawly's roots are about five feet thick, and he climbs the ancient pagoda tree. The vines are like dragons around the beam, which is very spectacular. Whenever spring returns to the earth and Yan Zi cuts willow, the whole wisteria is covered with tender leaves and flowers, and the green rattan is swaying in the breeze, just like a purple cloud and a big green umbrella, giving people a feeling of prosperity and elegance.
Yuan Mei is one of the county magistrates who left a good reputation in the history of Shuyang. He was born in Qiantang, Zhejiang (now Hangzhou) and is a talented person. He was the magistrate of Shuyang for eight years (1743).
Yuan Mei has made great achievements in Shuyang. As soon as he took office, he paid attention to investigation and study, and made a detailed investigation from local customs, geographical environment, mountains and rivers to officials, people, politics and production. When serious problems are found, most of them are recorded in detail, and poems are often written to testify. Some things that have been dealt with and solved are also written in poetry. If he found that the water conservancy facilities in the county were extremely poor, he wrote in his poem: "Zhu Di's thousand hectares of land are as few as gold water and several bays." Judy is another name for money. The poem means that the rich only buy land and don't repair water conservancy, which leads to both floods and droughts. In the face of floods, droughts and locusts, he chanted in his poems that "floating in the sky loses the east and west roads, and locusts enter the country like a tide sooner or later" and "ten years of flowers have fallen, and Liutang River has no complaints". Based on this situation, Yuan Mei mobilized people to build canals to control water and strive to eradicate disasters.
During his tenure in Shuyang, Yuan Mei paid attention to production, culture, education, training and selection of talents, and personally compiled teaching materials for students to use, which made people's lives stable. He wrote in the poem "slay ShuBaXing":
I want to go to Luochi Bicao to see it.
Books and books are all cut by hand.
Buy mulberry seeds to be silkworm girls,
Self-made article teacher.
Yuan Mei has been in power for just a few years, and has indeed trained and recommended a number of talents. Among the bachelor of arts, one is a scholar, and four are recommended. Lu, a native of Shuyang, lost his father and came from a poor family. However, he is diligent and eager to learn, and he is brave and kind. Yuan Mei attaches great importance to him. Under his strong recommendation, he was appointed as a Tongzhi of Cao Taishou.
In daily self-care affairs, regardless of the amount of ordinary affairs, whether it is disputes or cases between the government and the people, Yuan Mei personally asked, visited and made a decisive decision, never delaying or omitting.
Yuan Mei is a man whose life is full of poetry. In his spare time, he likes traveling, enjoying flowers and scenery and making friends with writers. There is a legend that he planted wisteria in the county yard: once, Yuan Mei finished his official business and went to Xintiaohe River in Xixiang, Shuyang with his entourage. There are ancestral halls and pine forests of Hu Jianjing's family compiled by the Hanlin Academy. There are many flowers and plants in the garden. Yuan Mei went to Hu's home to enjoy flowers and became interested in planting flowers and trees. He personally brought wisteria and Sophora japonica back and planted them in the county yard. After careful training and care, he grew up. He looked very happy and left a poem:
Who made a speech to make something redundant,
The land is really comparable to the board.
Lotus bell, the official of four seasons flower planting,
Six rooms are like money books for collectors.
After Yuan Mei was transferred from Shuyang, people protected this wisteria tree for a long time with deep feelings. Over the years, it has attracted countless scholars and tourists, and been praised by later generations together with Yuan Mei's poems.
