It is said to have been written by the famous calligrapher Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty (Dong Qichang was a descendant of Wang Hong's teachings) disciple).
The architectural design of these two Ming Dynasty archways is very simple and majestic. It can be noted that there are many typhoons in Hainan and Sixin is equipped with wind-proof sloping columns in front and behind, making the archways not only strong but also beautiful.
Wang Hongjie, An Shaozhuan, nicknamed Zhongming, was born in Longmei Village, Leiming Town, Ding'an County. He was born in the 11th year of Jiajing (1514) and died in the 45th year of Wanli (1617). 76 years old. After his death, the imperial court sent Dai Xi, the deputy envoy of the Hainan branch at that time, to preside over the burial. His tomb was near Jiu Suo Xu, Fuwen Town, Ding'an County today.
Wang Hongzhi took part in the provincial examination in the 40th year of Jiajing (1561) and passed the Xinxike Xie Yuan examination at the age of 20. Four years later, he was selected as a scholar in the Yi Chou Branch of the Hanlin Academy and served successively in the Hanlin Academy. He served as a reviewer, editor, co-examiner for the joint examinations, a wine minister in the Nanjing Imperial College, and a minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. After his death, he was presented to the Prince Shaobao.
In February of the forty-fourth year of Jiayung (1565), Wang Hong taught that Hai Rui was going to be imprisoned when he had just passed the imperial examination. However, he took the risk to visit him day and night, and personally applied medicine to nurse the sores. . In each province's prison, wine and bread were prepared, and the wardens threatened him with threats, but they did not shy away. It can be seen that Wang Hong’s teachings are upright and aboveboard, and he will never follow the noble qualities of power and traitors. In the fourth year of Wanli (1575), Wang Hongjie was 35 years old. In view of the long journey for Qiongzhou scholars to take the exam, the trek was difficult, and there was the risk of wind and waves when crossing the sea. I specially wrote "Reformation of Hainan Bingbei Dao to Ti Xue Dao Shu", requesting that Hainan Bing Bei Dao be changed to Tixue Dao so that Qiongzhou scholars can take exams on the spot in Hainan. This memorial was approved by Emperor Wanli. Since then, it has become much more convenient for scholars in Qiongzhou to take exams. This incident is what Hainan folk call "Zou Kao Hui Qiong". This has greatly promoted the development of Hainan's cultural and educational undertakings. This matter was carried out according to the decree, but Wang Hongjie never said anything about it, and the scholars in Qiongzhou did not know about it.
Later, Chen Zhiping accidentally saw the accurate draft of memorials and edicts in his old box, and it was spread to the outside world. Scholars said: "The prince's contribution is outstanding! How great! He cannot be ignored!" This matter was really important to the scholars of Qiongzhou. His merits are immeasurable. In the 31st year of Wanli (1603), when Wang Hongjie was 62 years old, Qiongzhou students donated money to build the "Wang Hongjie Gongsheng Temple" in Ding'an County to commemorate his merits. The current site of the temple was built as Dingcheng Hospital, but The apse still exists.
In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli (1599), Wang Hongjie was 58 years old. He was allowed to become an official after many requests. According to the circumstances at the time, he requested to become an official relatively early. The reason was not because he really His illness and old age were due to Emperor Wanli not listening to his advice to express his dissatisfaction with the government at that time. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was hopelessly corrupt and Wang Hongjie lost confidence in being an official. He wrote in "Gengzi" The poem "Returning from the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing (Nanjing) to beg for help and meeting his hometown again on a boat trip to the Pearl River" reveals his thoughts of breaking away from officialdom and living a secluded life, and being curious about the mountains and rivers. After Wang Hongji became an official, he lived in seclusion in his hometown. With a passion for landscapes, he visited scenic spots in Ding'an, Qiongshan, Wenchang, Wanzhou and other places. He wrote a large number of landscape poems and essays, and also enthusiastically performed many public welfare projects.
The first is to build academies to educate young people. In the 30th year of Wanli (1602), a Shangyou Academy was built in Ding'an County. He also helped build Tianchi Academy in Chengmai, Yuyang Academy in Wenchang, etc., and went to teach in these academies in person.
The second is to plant trees and green the barren hills. When Wang Hong returned home from his official duties, he deliberately brought back pine seedlings and pine seeds from Nanjing, and reclaimed the barren hills two miles south of Longmei Village, Leiming Town, Lide'an County, today's Xin'an County. More than 30 acres of land were planted with pine seedlings and pine seeds. It was extremely lush at that time. It was not destroyed until the Japanese invaded Qiong. The remaining pine forests are called "Wang Shangshu Pine Forest" by local people. Now the villagers have closed the mountain to cultivate forests and protect it.
The third is to build bridges and wells to facilitate the masses. During the Wanli period, Wang Hongjie built the Shuiji Bridge under the West Longmen Tower of Youmei Village, Lijiatu, 25 miles south of the county, to facilitate the movement of the masses. A fountain well was dug near Shuichu Village, about 3 kilometers away from Longmen in present-day Ding'an County, and Wang Hongjie named it "Shuyu Spring". The quality of this well is clear and mellow, and it is made of stacked stone strips. Water often overflowed outside the well, irrigating many acres of farmland. The well still exists, but now a dike has been built underneath the well to intercept the water. The well area has become a lake, and the well is flooded to a depth of about one meter. Beside the well, there was a stone tablet with Wang Hong's handwritten instructions "wash the jade spring", which was also submerged.
In the forty-fifth year of Wanli (1617), Wang Hongjie died in his hometown of Ding'an, and people rushed to tell each other. "When the soldiers and the people declined, the market went on strike." This shows how deeply the villagers mourned him. Wang Hongjie wrote prolifically throughout his life, was quite accomplished in literature, and became an outstanding member of his family. He is the author of "Shangyoutang Manuscript", "Wuyue Travels", "Tianchicao", "Laihexuan Ji", "Nanli Memorial Slips", "Nanming Qidian Lu", "Literature Talk", "Guochao" "Records of Famous Officials" and so on. His main works are "Whispering and Deep", "Hong Kong and Foreign", and "Working with Promise". His poetry has a fresh style, concise words, sincere feelings, precise themes, strict rhythm, very particular word choice, and the syllables are sonorous when chanted. However, due to historical limitations, some of his works are inevitably superficial. do. Some contain the dregs of promoting superstition.
