original text

In the spring of one year, the western teacher hid things, because he got his long-cherished wish. As a result, the ground of the south gate of the city tilted to the left. When Ganquan gushed out, Panqiao was built, potholes were filled, foundation sites were built, and more than 50 pavilions were built, containing historical sites. In addition, in order to buy 60 hectares of land, I left the interest of 1520 yuan, as well as more than 4 10 mu of Luchao Lake land inside and outside the city, and paid the teachers and students with the rental interest. ..... Spring is ugly, so the local gentleman takes a break to cheer up. He also donated 76 rooms to buy houses in this city and rented them to help with painting. This is inspiring and perfect. ..... The ointment fire has not been strong, and now it will go away. Some people are not worried about this, because the story is written on a stone. In addition, the real estate industry and permanent regulations as appropriate are engraved on the monument, so that the new Yin can be expanded and gradually become extremely prepared.

To annotate ...

1, Ganquan Academy, with three sites: (1) Ganquan Academy in Hengshan, Nanyue (with a picture of mind tablet); (2) Jiuhuashan Ganquan Academy; (3) Gansu Ganquan Academy. The inscription was left by Ganquan Academy in Zhangye City, Gansu Province. In the 24th year of Qingganlong (1759), Feng Zuyue, the magistrate of Qingganzhou, was born. In the Qing Dynasty, the chronicles of Shanxi Province (I) and the magistrate of Zhangye County, Wang Tingzan, were founded in the east of Nanmennei Street, hence the name Ganquan. It is more than 90 feet long from east to west and 8 feet wide from north to south. Build a gate, 2 lecture halls, 34 rooms, a pan pool, a wooden bridge, etc. Feng wrote it for himself. Later, 1 tile house and two archways were built; There are three pavilions on the left and nine verandahs on the right. Three revitalization warehouses in the south; More than 400 willows have been planted in Linchi. In the thirty-second year (1767), Wuyun Building, Shuguan Garden, Chujing Hall and Xuanmen Gate were added. In thirty-five years (1770), six theaters were built to collect books; Sunway Lake has five pavilions and five wings. Magistrate Wang Tingzan donated silver 1500 taels, and the gentry donated silver 1000 taels one after another, all to earn money and interest to finance the fire. In addition, 6,000 mu of school land was allocated. In addition, 246 willows and Elaeagnus angustifolia planted on the east side of the park and the official land outside the city also belong to the academy. There is a "College Public Service Examination", which contains a breakdown of the income and expenditure of the college industry. Dean Zhuang will teach the students a thousand words of filial piety as a handout.

Supplement: During Zheng De's reign of Emperor Chengzu in Ming Dynasty, Zhang Ye founded Ganquan Academy, which is the earliest academy in Zhang Ye's historical records. Since the policy of opening academies was relaxed during Yongzheng period, Zhang Ye's academy education has gradually developed. In the Qing Dynasty, there were Nanhua Academy, Lude Academy (county name of Han Dynasty, northwest of Zhangye City, Gansu Province) and Ganzhou Ganquan Academy. Dongle has Yangzhi Academy (Tianshan Academy) and Jinshan Academy; Shandan has Xiandi Academy; Fuyitang has Liaoquan Academy; Gao Tai has Jiankang College. Among them, Ganquan Academy is the largest. In the second year of Qing Qianlong (1737), the governor of Ganzhou, Feng Zuyue, reopened Ganquan Academy, but the scale was small at that time. According to the inscription of Zhangye Ganquan Academy, when Wang Tingzan was appointed as the magistrate of Zhangye, he "had the idea of creation, changed to Wuwei and failed to go". Since then, Wang Tingzan has been re-appointed as Zhang Ye, "because his long-cherished wish is to get paid." So, "the ground is on the left of the south gate. When Ganquan gushes out, it will build Panqiao, fill potholes, build foundations, and build more than 50 temples with pigeons. " In addition, Ganquan Academy has built three pavilions, a refreshing pavilion and a backyard pavilion, "which are added every time." After the reconstruction, Ganquan Academy has pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and the greenery is dim, and the literati are bright. "Wang Jimei of Yan Taicang became his teacher this spring, and all the dropouts were eager to try." Students from all over Zhangye gather here. (see: /p-78433 19485024.html)

2. The full name of the inscription is "Inscription of Zhangye Ganquan Academy". The author is Wang Tingzan, and there is an inscription by Zhang Ye and Gong Yuan. Wang Tingzan (1714-1781), whose real name is Gong Yi, is from Huludao, Liaoning. He was a political envoy in Gansu. Wang Tingzan's father, Wang, is a scholar and served as the magistrate of Gaiping County. Wang Tingzan was born as an official. Because of his diligence and talent, he was highly valued by his superiors before he was introduced as an official. During more than 30 years in Gansu, he rose from an obscure member to the chief of counties, prefectures and provinces, and finally became a government official like Gansu. Because of my humble background and better understanding of the situation, I am more cautious about officials most of the time, able to abide by the law and do my duty. He served as an official in Gansu for more than 30 years, and made great achievements in rehabilitating unjust imprisonment, revitalizing culture and education, building water system, fighting bandits and protecting the people, and collecting military salaries, but he was finally executed for corruption. In the 12th year of Qianlong (1747), Wang Tingzan was introduced as an official in Lanzhou, which was the beginning of his official career. Experience is a small clerk in charge of cashiers and paperwork, and sometimes assists the boss in hearing cases. He was ordered to handle cases, and many unjust cases were rehabilitated because of fair law enforcement. At that time, there was a saying in Lanzhou that "go to court and find the king to make a decision". Since the 19th year of Qianlong (1754), Wang Tingzan has represented Zhangye, Wuwei, Zhenyuan and other counties. His outstanding achievement as Zhangye county magistrate is to revitalize education. At that time, there was no Hiram's hospital in Zhangye, which was inconvenient for scholars to try. He established Hiram's Hospital in Zhangye. In order to provide a place for scholars to study, he rebuilt Ganquan Academy on the basis of abandoning the academy, and later gradually added three pavilions, a refreshing pavilion, a reading room and a hall for hoeing scriptures, making the scale of the academy more magnificent. At the same time, we enrich the library in many ways and hire famous teachers to teach. At that time, culture and education became popular. Huang Tinggui, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, appreciated Wang Tingzan's talent very much, and Wang Tingzan was promoted to be the magistrate of Zhangye. In the twenty-second year of Qianlong (1757), Huang Tinggui ordered Wang Tingzan to join the army as an assistant quartermaster, which enabled him to further display his talents. During this period, the news of Wang Tingzan's mother's death came. He put military affairs first, didn't ask his boss for funeral, endured grief and handled his official duties normally, and didn't return to his mother's memorial service until the war ended and the accounts were settled. In the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong (1763), Wang Tingzan served as a colleague in the Salt Tea Hall of Pingliang Prefecture, in charge of local public security. According to his epitaph, during this period, he led the troops to attack at night and wiped out 100 bandits who endangered the village. Forty years (1775) to forty-two years (1777). Wang Tingzan has served as the magistrate of Ningxia, Ganliangdao and Daodaotai in Ningxia. The Yellow River alluvial into Ningxia Plain, with flat terrain, is the main agricultural area. The old irrigation channels for benefiting farmers have played a great role in developing agricultural production, but due to years of disrepair, the channels are seriously blocked. At the beginning of getting off the bus, Wang Tingzan took the development of production as the primary task and invited the imperial court to dredge the canal. His suggestion was adopted, and the court approved the allocation of treasury and entrusted him with the responsibility of the whole project. Wang Tingzan devoted himself to his work from the day he was appointed. He works tirelessly and does everything himself. From hydrogeological exploration to drainage, sand cleaning, dredging and stone transportation, I personally give advice everywhere. After more than two years of hard work, the canal project was completed in April of 42 years in Qianlong. On the day of completion, his colleagues wrote poems to congratulate him. In one of the poems, there is a phrase "three years of water control silk", which can be regarded as a portrayal of his official achievements during this period. The barren soil and saline-alkali land in Ningxia plain have turned into fertile fields, and Wang Tingzan has devoted a lot of efforts. In May this year, Wang Tingzan was promoted to ministerial level in Gansu Province due to his outstanding achievements. At the beginning of forty-five years of Qianlong (1780), Wang Tingzan worked in Gansu for many years and was praised, so Emperor Qianlong named his great-grandfather, grandfather and father as doctors and his great-grandmother, grandmother and mother as wives. At this time, Wang Tingzan is a 66-year-old man. Seeing that there are many evils in the officialdom, and suffering from continuing to rush about in the infighting officialdom, I came up with the idea of retiring after success. He invited him to resign and return to his hometown, but because the emperor's "superior purpose is to comfort and stay", he failed to do so. Salars live in Gansu and Qinghai and believe in Islam. Ma Mingxin, an Islamic in Xunhuatang, Gansu Province, founded a new sect of Islam and avenged and killed more than 0/00 people with the old sect. However, the governor of Shaanxi but Gansu, Le, wanted to spend money to run the old school, suppress the new school, arrest Ma Mingxin, the leader of the new school, and put him in the provincial capital prison. So it aroused strong dissatisfaction from the new sects, and an uprising of the new sects of Salar Islam led by Su Forty-three broke out. The uprising shook the Qing dynasty, and Emperor Qianlong ordered the mobilization of troops to pursue it. It took more than three months from mid-March to early July, and the new Sect finally failed. Wang Tingzan was awarded a high hat and a flower feather by Emperor Qianlong for his meritorious service in guarding Lanzhou for five days and five nights. For example, his great-grandfather, grandfather and father were Dr. Rong Lu, and his great-grandmother, grandmother and mother were Mrs. Yipin. It is a great honor for Wang. In the course of Emperor Qianlong's sending troops to suppress the Soviet Forty-three Uprising, a major corruption case involving more than 200 officials in Gansu Province was exposed, and Wang Ting agreed with the principal of this major case. Gansu has always had the old practice of donating money to build prisons. The so-called "donation to prison" means that businessmen and civilians donate a certain amount of food to the government, gain the identity of Guo Jianzi, and obtain the qualification to take the exam and be an official. Due to the harsh natural conditions in Gansu, disasters often occur. If each prison donor hands in dozens of stones of grain and the province raises millions of stones of grain, it can be used to help the victims in disaster years, saving the trouble of the central government in allocating relief grain and benefiting the country and the people. This measure was once cancelled because it was prone to disadvantages. In the thirty-ninth year of Qianlong, Governor Le of Shaanxi and Gansu requested to reopen the prison donation in Gansu, which was approved by the emperor. In this imperial edict, Emperor Qianlong pointed out that in view of the fact that "the storage in Gansu Province is not enough at the moment", it is stipulated that all donations should use grain and beans, and cashiers should not fold them. At the same time, an "capable" official, Wang Danwang, was appointed as the special envoy of Gansu Province to handle this matter. It is strictly required that Lel is willing to "investigate and deal with all the drawbacks in a down-to-earth manner". In May of the 42nd year of Qianlong, Wang Danwang was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang, and 63-year-old Wang Tingzan of Ningxia Daotai was appointed as the deployment envoy of Gansu. Less than three years after Wang Danwang took office, he received more than 6 million grains of grain from the grain supervisor, and about 6.5438+0.5 million businessmen accepted grain and became students in Guo Jian. How great is it to have so much grain in storage in three years in Gansu Province, where food is in short supply? However, Emperor Qianlong never imagined that the "Nengfan" Wang Danwang wrote all the food in prison on paper, but there was no particle in his report. It turned out that Wang Danwang did not receive grain according to the emperor's request, but received money, which was not used to buy food for the victims, but was sold by officials at all levels in the name of relief, and finally fell into private pockets. After Wang Tingzan became a political envoy, he not only did not get rid of the accumulated abuses, but also added five taels of silver to each prisoner, which eventually led to a fatal disaster. Forty-three people in Su revolted, and Emperor Qianlong sent Khun and Agui to supervise. In April, He Kun reported that it was going to rain in Gansu. A Gui reported the situation and repeatedly mentioned that fighting was delayed because of too much rain. Emperor Qianlong recalled that Gansu had been reporting drought for the past few years, and he began to doubt it. He ordered Aguihe, acting as the governor of Shaanxi but Gansu, to inspect carefully and report truthfully. Pell soon discovered that the supervisor didn't accept food, but only took money. When Emperor Qianlong heard about this, on the one hand, he ordered Chen Huizu, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, to inquire about Wang Danwang, and on the other hand, he ordered Wang Yanzan, Wang Danwang's successor in Gansu, to report the truth about grain inspection and private income. At the beginning of June, Wang Tingzan confessed that after he took office, he was not allowed to fold the cashier's two copies, because no one reported the donation, so he had to do so. I am also afraid that there will be short-term hoarding of grain and stones in various counties, so I set up a prison donation, and the amount paid is 55 Liang. The grain price in Gansu is relatively low, which is enough to apply for quota. Because the donations were mostly in the provincial capital, the matter was handled by the Lanzhou magistrate. By collecting donations, the raised silver hair will still buy grain for the counties, and the money will be returned to the warehouse, declared once a quarter and added to the government. Wang Tingzan's confession was that it was a last resort to fold the cashier, which not only facilitated the donor, but also improved the procedures. However, Emperor Qianlong saw at a glance that the confession concealed the truth. /kloc-in June of 0/0, he wrote a letter to refute it, and the conclusion was: "The officials of the Ming Dynasty folded in the front and then sold it at the back, and both sides got cheap, and the people still suffered. This matter is very harmful and must be thoroughly investigated. " After that, Emperor Qianlong issued two orders in June 12 and June 17 respectively, and analyzed that the case was corruption, which was a group corruption. Said resolutely pursue, will not give up because the punishment is not as strong as the public, involving too much. He ordered Gui and the Ministry of Justice to interrogate Zhang Wenxiang and Wang Tingzan, the former commanders of Shaanxi and Gansu Provinces, and ordered them to confess truthfully. He asked A Gui to declare to Wang Tingzan that he "made great contributions to the preservation of the provincial capital". If you can tell the truth about the fraud over the years, you can be lenient and make amends. Otherwise, you will commit a felony. Later facts show that Wang Tingzan failed to "tell the truth" and thus failed to get the maximum forgiveness from Emperor Qianlong. Due to the emperor Qianlong's resolute attitude, A Gui and Li Shiyao dare not neglect, and the whole case was soon found out. This case * * * exposed1more than 200 Gansu provincial, prefectural and county officials * * * 102, which is really "all provincial and ministerial officials are guilty of getting their hands on". This case not only involves a large number of people and a large amount of stolen money, but also has bad means. Corrupt officials not only devour food in prison, but also steal money from the state treasury. For example, more than 6 million sets of "grain supervisors" have been discounted, but they have also added land under the pretext of building houses on their own initiative; The "grain supervisor" turned into silver and pocketed it. They also received money in the name of paying for transportation. Wang Tingzan alone collected more than 28,690 taels of transportation fees in two years. Gandhi, the most important criminal in this case, will pay the price. On July 30 and August 18, he twice ordered the decision to deal with key criminals. Wang Danwang was ordered to enforce the law immediately, while Lel tried to commit suicide, while Wang Tingzan was trapped in prison. By 10, 56 corrupt officials had been punished one after another, and 46 people were sent away without death. Emperor Qianlong pointed out Wang Tingzan's guilt in the imperial edict on July 30th, and made a punishment decision. He pointed out that Wang Tingzan was transferred to San Francisco as a humble member. After he took over, he didn't take part in Wang Danwang's illegal activities truthfully, but cheated, and kept hiding the case and telling the truth. But mindful of the small merits of guarding the city and avoiding making decisions, Gunn was hanged instead and executed in the autumn. Originally, Wang Tingzan was a loyal and honest official. He should have lived a clean and honest life, but he failed to get rid of the greed of feudal officialdom, and therefore failed to escape the trap of the legal system. Wang Tingzan was finally hanged at noon 178 12 (genealogy: 1 12) in the forty-sixth year of Qianlong, at the age of 67.

In addition, Wang Tingzan (1847- 1927), whose real name was Xiangzi, became a Taoist in his later years. Yuyuan Street, Chengguan District, surabaya county. 16 years old "determined to learn". Tongzhi went to Yanzhou Chu for probation for five years (1866) and made up for students for eight years (1869). Twelve years of Tongzhi (1873) was selected as tribute, ranking first. In the second year of Guangxu (1876), he was promoted. After that, he took the exam in Beijing with 1877, and missed Sun Shan for six consecutive games. He was "still the next person" until he was 46 years old in the seventh exam. After being an official, he served as a magistrate in Pingwu, Changning, Nanjun and other counties in Sichuan, and was later promoted to an alternate magistrate as a local official 15 years. In the thirty-third year of Guangxu (1907), he retired to Li and stayed in Jining the following year. Wang Tingzan wrote many poems in his life. He once included most of his poems in Pai Yun Cao Shi. Later, it was further collected and sorted out by the descendants of the master, and the poem "Pai Yun" was integrated and published in lithography in April 1937. In front of the book are inscriptions by Wu, Liang Shuming and others, and the preface made by their descendants. * * * Income 1500.

Appendix 2:

Inscription on the Picture of Heart and Nature of Hengshan Ganquan Academy

Sex, the integration of heaven and earth. Like the universe, its gas is the same. People who have a heart are those who embody everything in the world, rather than leaving it behind. People who are also sexual are also physical minds, and their minds are different. For example, the valley is invisible because it has business, but it has not been made. With its development, sadness, shame and resignation are all unlovable, and benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom are separated from each other, so it is called four tails. The end is also the beginning, and the beginning of conscience is also the beginning. It is a respect for the past and a cautious and cautious support. Neutrality and development, everything has changed since then, and reaching out for the important position is nothing more than carrying on. Therefore, position education is not only a supplement, but also an echo. He who stays at a respectful distance from others will never stop. Yue: "Why is it small?" Said, "The heart is everywhere." "Why is it a big circle?" Yue: "The heart is all-encompassing." Packaging and penetration are not the same thing. Therefore, those who care about the heart include all things in the world and those who care about all things in the world. China and foreign countries are not two. Heaven and earth have no inside and outside, the heart has no inside and outside, and it is extremely ear-catching. So the heart is based on the inside, and those who think that everything outside is the heart are also very small.
