Li Dianlin’s biography

Li Dianlin (1842~1916) was a minister in the late Qing Dynasty. The word is Yinchi. A native of Dawang Village, Datong County. He studied Song Confucianism when he was young, and later studied at Jinyang Academy in the provincial capital. In the third year of Tongzhi (1864), he was a candidate for the Jiazi imperial examination. In the tenth year of Tongzhi (1871), Xin Weike became a Jinshi. Later he was promoted to bachelor of ministers, bachelor of ministers and bachelor of cabinet. In the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu (1900), he was appointed as the examiner of the Guangdong Provincial Examination with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War.

The Eight-Power Allied Forces broke into Beijing and presented the "Strategy for Protecting the Southeast" to Cixi and Guangxu. Soon after, he was promoted to the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and allowed Jiangsu to study politics. During his term of office, he petitioned to "abolish the martial arts examination, abolish stereotyped writing, use policy theory, reform academies, and establish schools." The purpose of changing the academic system was first advocated in Jiangsu. After returning to the Ministry of Personnel, he felt painfully that in the last days, "official careers were complicated, and many subordinate officials were seeking personal gain", so he petitioned to stop collecting donations, cut off the official staff, and start from the Ministry of Personnel. Later, it was sent to the Minister of the Ministry of Education. The ministry had abundant income but had many abuses. After Li took office, he severely punished the chief culprits and put the ministry in order. At that time, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was just completed, and the cargo volume was small. The imperial court proposed to stop the westward expansion, and he advocated continuing the westward expansion. Seeing that Shanxi's guild halls in Beijing and Yunshan Villa were destroyed by the Gengzi Rebellion, he called on Shanxi officials and businessmen in Beijing to raise funds for repairs, and set up Jin School in Jindong Hall to facilitate the education of young people from the same town. The governor of Shanxi sold the mining rights to the British, Li Peiren, a student studying in Japan, crossed the sea, and Li Dianlin gathered his fellow villagers in Beijing to argue, forcing the Qing government to prepare funds to redeem the mines. In Wenshui, Jiaocheng and other counties in Shanxi, innocent people were killed during the ban on smoking, causing public unrest. Li Dianlin sent personnel to investigate and stopped the indiscriminate killings. At the beginning of Xuantong, he was promoted to the associate bachelor's degree and the master's degree of the ceremony academy, and was given special gifts by the regent. After the Revolution of 1911, he resigned and returned home, and later died at home. In the 20th year of the Republic of China (1931), he entered Sanli Pavilion in Shanxi Province to worship. His posthumous works include "Farewell to the Book of Changes", "Compilation of Historical Records", "Miscellaneous Notes of Che Guixuan", "Opinions on Quan Zheng Guan", "Collection of Poems and Essays of Yunzhong Thatched Cottage", etc. Unfortunately, the manuscripts were destroyed in the war.

The tomb of Li Dianlin, a lecturer at the banquet of Emperor Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty and a scholar in charge of the Ceremony Academy, is located in the north of Dawang Village in Datong County. The posthumous title Wenxi was given to the Prime Minister posthumously, and the inscriptions and stone animals coexisted. Today it is known as the "Tomb of the Six Great Men".
