Brief introduction of Ren Huang's personality

Ren Huang was born in Baiyun Township, Yongfu (Yongtai) County, Fujian Province in the 22nd year of Kangxi (1683). Great-grandfather compiled Huang Wenhuan for tomorrow's Jinshi and Hanlin Academy. Because he edited national history, he was called "Tai Shigong". Ren Huang's family background, young and handsome, eager to learn, 12 years old was educated by the famous Fuzhou poet Xu You, and his grandfather studied poetry; At the same time, he learned calligraphy from Lin Ji Jinshi who was good at regular script. In the forty-first year of Kangxi (1702), he was raised in his hometown and went to Beijing for exams seven times, which was not the first. In the first year of Yongzheng (1723), he served as the county magistrate of Sihui County, Guangdong Province, and served as the county magistrate of Gaoyao the following year. During his tenure, he enjoyed a good reputation. Gaoyao is the land of Guduanzhou, and the three caves in Duan Xi under its jurisdiction are the famous places where inkstones are produced. Huang Rengong is good at poetry and books, especially for inkstones, so he scrimped and saved when he was in office and bought more than 100 inkstones from Yu Feng. After Huang came to power, he was envied by the villains and illegally dismissed from office in the fifth year of Yongzheng (1727). When Li returned from office, he chose the best texture and delivered it to Seiko for refinement. Finally, he chose ten of the best as treasures. He built Shi Yanxuan in Zaoti Lane, Guanglufang, Nanhou Street, Fuzhou Mansion, and named himself Shi Yuan, an old man, to collect these inkstones.

Ren Huang loves inkstone, sitting on the porch during the day, caressing and playing; In the evening, he asked his concubine to move these famous inkstones to the bed to sleep with him, saying that this would get shade and make them more lubricated. He also named these ten kinds of inkstones, such as Beauty, Ancient Smoke House, Twelve Stars, Nature, Spring Red, Writing, Romantic Moon, Writing Skirt, Blue and White, Banana Stone and so on. Ren Huang not only likes inkstone, but also likes carving inkstone. He often engraves poems on the back of the inkstone. Ren Huang's collection of Duan inkstone is also rich in fine products. Up to now, there are still ink stones circulating in central Fujian, many of which are engraved with "Wu Erniang made".

Huang is a wayward and good guest. He sings, sings and drinks with celebrities every day, talking and laughing, and everyone who listens is very happy. Someone asked him, "You have been an official in Guangdong for three years. Why are you so poor? " Ren Huang pointed to his inkstone and said, "I have this inkstone, so I will not be responsible for my trip to Guangdong."

Ren Huang suffered from poverty and illness in his later years, at the age of 83. After Ren Huang's death, the inkstone whirled away. Later, two inkstones, Romance and Skirt Writing, were discovered by Ren Huang's descendants and obtained by Lin Baishui after Chunhong was born. After Baishui was killed, it belonged to Li Lvge. In the early days of liberation, Guo Moruo saved one, Baiyun Mountain saved one, Professor Zheng Tingchun saved one, Xiapu Peng Jiacun saved one, Minqing Honglincuo Huang clan saved one, and Fuzhou Paper-cut Art Research Association President Ms. saved one. Before Ren Gong died, he gave his friend Li Lincun an inkstone. Now this inkstone can't be inquired. In his later years, Ren Huang lived in Zaoti Lane, Guanglufang, Fuzhou. The site is now hanged by Fuzhou Municipal People's Government as "Ren Huang's Former Residence" for people to visit.
