——Ming Dynasty Huang Jinggong wrote the universal couplet of the ancestral hall of the surname Ding

This couplet is the couplet of the large ancestral hall of Ding Huan in Xiantian Township, Lixi Town, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province. The ancestral temple is dedicated to Ding Gongyuan, the founder of the trend. It was originally built in the Ming Dynasty. In the early 1980s, Ding Gong donated money for reconstruction, and the ancient temple took on a new look. In front of the ancestral hall, there is this stone couplet presented by Huang Jinggong, the Minister of Rites in the late Ming Dynasty. Ding Yunyuan was originally from Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. In the 14th year of Chunxi in the Song Dynasty (1187), he was demoted from Taichang Temple Shaoqing to Chaozhou Military and State Affairs for admonishing the exemption of salt and iron taxes. During his tenure, he presided over the construction of the Han Wen Gong Temple at the site of the ancient Jieyang Tower in Hanshan, moved the Han Temple in the south of the original city to Hanshan, and enshrined Zhao De, the Tang Xian, and Chen Yaozuo, the Song Xian, with a plaque inscribed as "Zhongyou Temple"; presided over Additional stone piers were built on the west bank of the Hanjiang River, bridges were erected on the stone piers, pavilions were built and houses were built. The built Hanjiang West Bridge was called "Dinggong Bridge" by Chaozhou people. He attached great importance to education and once allocated 365 dan of farmland as education funds. The students are well-educated... After Ding Gong resigned from office, he took up residence in Haiyang County and was the ancestor of the Ding family in Xiantian. Later generations fully affirmed Ding Gong's political achievements during his period of knowledge of the Chaozhou Dynasty. In the 23rd year of Qianlong's reign, Zhou Shuoxun, the prefect of Chaozhou, agreed that Ding Gong should enjoy the Han temple. Huang Shangshu spoke highly of Ding Gong's political style and achievements in the gift couplet. The first couplet lists Ding Gong's official positions. Taichang: One of the Nine Qings, the official in charge of rituals and music. Before Ding Gong was demoted to Chao Dynasty, he was the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. Wuma: The title of the prefect. In the official system after the Song Dynasty, the official name of the prefect no longer exists, but it is still customary to call the prefect and prefect of the prefecture the prefect. After Ding Gong was demoted, he learned about Chao, so Huang Shangshu called it Wuma. Although Ding Gong has always held important positions, his purity as an official is even clearer than that of Han Jiangshui. The second couplet says that Ding Gong worshiped famous officials. His political achievements during his tenure in Zhichao can be said to be the inheritance of previous sages and the inspiration of later sages. A footnote can be found in Zou Chaoyang's "The Monument of Grand Administrator Ding Gong Pei Xian" written by Zou Chaoyang during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty: "Ding Gong went out to guard Chaozhou with Tai Chang's loyal advice, which is similar to admonishing the Buddha's bones; he placed it on the public bridge and the people were not sick, which is similar to driving Crocodile Anlan; bought fields to see the scholars, created six studios, similar to Yan Shi's training... Han Gong's temple has also been updated many times... Since Ding Gong first founded this temple, it lasted from the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. It may have been changed before the end of the dynasty of our country. Isn't it not The spirit of Han Gong is silently attached to this land, and I sigh that Ding Gong has really won my heart, and he dug a well to get a spring..." Ding Gong continued his past and opened up, and made great contributions to Chaozhou, so he can be worshiped in the immortal field for thousands of generations. Huang Shangshu was born in the late Ming Dynasty. It is not yet known how much later generations would admire Duke Ding, but he only said that he was worshiped in his own ancestral temple. If anyone knows that Duke Ding is worthy of being worshiped in the Korean ancestral hall, and a Yunyuan Pavilion has been built to have a wide view, he will surely The couplet must be changed to: "...recommend Han Temple." The couplet expresses the author's feelings in a simple style, without any trace of polishing, and the dialogue is stable, appropriate and highly targeted. Huang Shangshu was also a famous eunuch in Chaozhou, and he was an extremely honest official. He was appointed as the Minister of Rites. Although he was of a different generation from Ding Gong, he held the same ceremonial position as Ding Gong. His respect for Ding Gong can be seen in the couplet. Since the establishment of Chaozhou, there have been countless officials guarding Chaozhou, but those who can leave good stories for future generations and be famous and respected are very few. Ding Gong's deeds form a strong contrast with those who say: "Love the people like a son, gold and silver are all my sons; law enforcement is like a mountain, a mountain of money, a mountain of backing, it is a mountain." Ding Gong can be worshiped for a long time, win the hearts of the people, and is praised by those who come after him. He is actually a rare official of the people.

Once upon a time, there was a rich man named Ding. He had a son who was more than ten years old and didn't understand anything. He hired several gentlemen, but they couldn't teach him a word. Rich Master Ding was very anxious. One day he published an article claiming that anyone who taught Master Ding a word would be rewarded with ten taels of silver.

An old scholar saw him and thought: No matter how stupid this kid is, he doesn't know his surname, right? Besides, the strokes of this "D" character are simple, easy to write, and easy to recognize. How could I not teach him the character "D"? So, he unveiled the list.

After arriving at the rich man's house, the old scholar asked Master Ding to learn the word "D" every day. Nine days passed in a flash, and the rich man Ding wanted to test Master Ding. The old scholar was afraid that Master Ding would forget, so he specially prepared a nail and asked the young master to hold it. He said, "If you forget, just look at the thing in your hand and you will remember it. Do you understand?" The young master nodded.

The scholar led the young master to see the rich man Ding, wrote the character "D" and said: "Young master, how do you pronounce this character?"

Who knows that the young master still looked at it for a long time, but still I can't remember what the word is. The scholar quickly reminded him: "What is that in your hand?"

The young master looked down and said: "An iron rod."
