Zhai Peng (1481-1545), named Fujiu (also known as Zhinan) and nicknamed Lianfeng, was born in Funing County. His father, Zhai Hao, was good-natured, not good at managing money, and his family was poor. Zhai Peng was smart, studious, and quick-thinking since he was a child. His mother, Wang, was determined to provide him with education. She spun day and night to raise money for pens and inkstones. When Huo Peng was admitted to the palace, his mother cut off her hair and made money to help him pay for it. In the third year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1508), Zhai Peng became a scholar and became a scholar. He was appointed as the head of the household department, then as a Yuanwailang, and later as the prefect of Weihui Prefecture. He was promoted to the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Province and the imperial envoy. In the seventh year of Jiajing (1528 AD), he was promoted to the right as censor of Jindu and governor of Ningxia.
Zhai Peng is upright and upright by nature, an honest official, and deeply hates the bad habits of officialdom. When he first arrived in Weihui, he strictly prohibited bribery and devoted himself to recommending talents. When Zhai Peng was governor of Ningxia, the defense of the border fortress was lax, and no one from the court or government cared about it. The border officials and generals privately appropriated the best soldiers for their own use, and only a few old and weak soldiers were left to guard the important areas of the border fortress. Outside the more than 20 Yandun Gu hanging fortresses in the Pheasant Terrace area, Zhai Peng ordered all the soldiers who had been sent to private service to be cleared out, and the defense in the Pheasant Terrace area was restored. This move hurt the interests of some border officials and generals, who held a grudge against Huo Peng. In the same year, Anda launched a massive invasion. The frontier fortress was short of food and grass, and the people on the border complained of hunger and cold. Zhai Peng requested the court for relief according to the facts, but the court not only refused, but suspended Zhai Peng's salary. During the large-scale invasion of Anda, the commander-in-chief Zhao Ying was unable to resist the enemy with all his strength, causing the people to suffer. Zhai Peng impeached him impartially, but was criticized by Zhao Ying. The emperor was furious and Zhai Peng was dismissed. After Zhai Peng left office, he went home to visit his relatives. He lived in his hometown for more than a month and visited the scenic spots and historic sites in his hometown. He wrote "Quiet of Frogs in Green Bay", "Passing the Tomb of General Lufeng", "Looking at Lianfeng Mountain" and "Lianfeng Sea". Among them, the two poems "Looking at Lianfeng Mountain" and "Lianfeng Sea City" expressed his sincere feelings of loving his hometown and loving the great rivers and mountains of the motherland by praising the magnificent scenery of Lianfeng Mountain. In August of the 20th year of Jiajing, Anda launched another invasion, and the cavalry went straight into the hinterland of Shanxi. The Ministry of War recommended Zhai Peng to return to his old position, to organize military affairs in Jifu, Shanxi and Henan, and to supervise food and pay. In March of the 21st year of the Jiajing reign, Huang Jizu, the governor of Xuanda, was dismissed from his post, and Zhai Peng was promoted to the right-hand man of the Ministry of War. During this period, Zhai Peng carried out bold reforms to the old enemy policy and reward and punishment system, the most important of which was "Killing and subduing those who seek credit should be punished." However, he was reinstated for only a hundred days and was dismissed for begging for military pay from the imperial court.
In July of the same year, Anda invaded Shanxi on a large scale, killing and plundering Taiyuan and Lu'an. Zhai Peng returned to the palace and oversaw military affairs in Shandong and Henan, and everyone below the governor was under his control. After his reinstatement, Zhai Peng made a lot of achievements in the construction of frontier fortresses. He dredged trenches and built walls, built more than 390 miles of border walls, built 292 new piers and 14 piers, built 1,500 camps, and reclaimed more than 14,900 villages. In a short time, more than 1,500 new troops were recruited, each with 50 acres of land, saving countless warehousing; the border fortress defenses were redeployed, and the tactical principle of "defending during war, fighting during defense" was eliminated, eliminating the previous pure defense. disadvantages. During this period, he also wrote "Cai Bian Lu" which was widely circulated at that time. In March of the 23rd year of Jiajing's reign, because of his meritorious service in defeating the enemy, Zhai Peng was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, and concurrently the right deputy of the Capital Inspectorate. At that time, Yan Song was in power, but seeing that Zhai Peng was a rare talent, he wanted to recruit Lu into a private party. He personally inscribed a plaque - "Shang Shufu" and sent his confidants to Zhai Peng's hometown. Unexpectedly, Zhai Peng was not grateful. The directors were still impartial and impartial, and even the Yan family's wings showed no favoritism. His character of not being able to please his superiors or accommodating his subordinates doomed his career to be bumpy and unable to finish his position.
According to the county annals: Zhai Peng once wrote a poem: "Only the emperor's palace can be hung in the heart, let alone the ruler and the ruler." From this we can get a glimpse of his feelings. According to another record of Zhai Peng's genealogy: Yan Song's son, Yan Shifan, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, went to Shanhaiwei to "read the border". He passed by the "Shang Shu Mansion" in the east of Funing Drum Tower and paid a visit to Zhai Mansion. While drinking tea, I happened to see a pair of banners hanging in the main hall, which were Zhai Peng's poems. At that time, Yan Shifan didn't pay much attention to it, and repeatedly praised Zhai Peng for his solid calligraphy skills, vigorous writing skills, and the potential to swallow up Changhong. When Yan Shifan returned to the court after his work and went to "Daoyou" in Zhai Mansion, he suddenly found that the banner was missing. , then suspicion arose. From then on, the gap between Yan and Zhai became deeper and deeper. In the first month of the twenty-third year of Jiajing, the emperor ordered Zhai Peng to eradicate border troubles (this was completely impossible under the historical conditions at the time), and the results were immediate. Although Zhai Peng tried his best to drive back and forth, he was unable to do so due to constraints from all directions and the call did not work. At this time, the jealous people took the opportunity to slander him, and the traitors used the topic to slander him. Zhai Peng requested to be dismissed from office, but the emperor refused.
In September of the same year, because Zhu Fangqing, the governor of Jizhou, sent out all the roads to guard against the autumn troops, and Mao Bowen, the Minister of War, also sent out troops from Xuanda Sanguan, Anda took the opportunity to invade the Shanfang Fort in October, and broke through the wall in Wanquan, and escaped from Shunquan. From Shengchuan to Yuzhou, they invaded Tufu Valley and went straight to Wanxian County, where the capital was under martial law. The emperor was furious. At this time, Yushi Yang Benshen and military officer Dai Menggui took advantage of the maneuver to persuade Zhai Peng to stay, causing the enemy to shock Jifu. The emperor then sent officials to arrest Zhai Peng and imprison him.
Three months later, Zhai Peng was convicted of military exile. When the escorting officer escorted Zhai Peng through Hexiwu, he was blocked by the local people, who all cried out that Zhai Shangshu was wronged. He was then taken back to the capital and sent to prison again. He died in prison on June 7, the 24th year of Jiajing's reign.
After Zhai Peng's death, folk artists quickly compiled a film, all showing the plot of Yan's traitorous party and harming Zhongliang. Later, Huo Peng's second son, Wei Huitong, Zhai Chongguang, learned that Hua Peng A lot of money was spent to buy the film. In the second year of Longqing (AD 1568), the imperial court paid tribute to Zhai Pengzhaoxue, reinstated him in office, and sent Liu Xiang, the prefect of Yongping Prefecture, to offer sacrifices. In April of the fifth year of Tianqi (AD 1625), Zhai Peng's great-grandson Zhai Lingyun and others built a tombstone in the east of Nanguan Road, Funing, and engraved a sacrificial inscription on it, saying that Zhai Peng was in charge of the important town. Zhongxun….
Xu Bishan (1850-1912), a native of Taiying in this county, later lived in Yumenkou. He was a famous folk painter in the Qing Dynasty. He is good at landscape and figure painting in traditional Chinese painting. He is good at fishing, woodcutter, farming and reading, and he is good at graduating from school. He is especially good at painting mirrors. The representative work is the reading of four screens by fishermen, woodcutter and farmers. His facial expressions are strong and graceful, leisurely but not vulgar, elegant but not frivolous, chic but not licentious, and lively, which is a wonderful name and has won praise from the world. This can be seen from the current version of "Jiao Wu Zi" versus "Luan Zou Forgetting the World". When he was a boy, he was particularly fond of masterpieces of painting. He would frame the collected paintings on the walls and study them carefully. Needless to say, during the day, at night, he would lie on the kang and look at it longingly for a while. From then on, he began to learn the painting. One morning, when he was eating on the stone slab in front of the door with his rice bowl, he saw a row of cranes fluttering their wings toward the rising sun, and several red-dyed pine trees shaking their branches and dancing. He couldn't help but think deeply, and started to draw pictures on the ground with the chopsticks in his hands. Come on... It wasn't until his ears were pulled painfully by his mother that he saw his rice bowl shattered on the ground. Once, he accompanied his father to a temple fair in Taiyang. The temple was crowded with people from all walks of life, but he was stunned by a white-haired painter. Seeing how obsessed he was, the old man started talking to him. The old man found that he was smart, so he solemnly gave him a tube of ancestral wolf hair before leaving, and pointed out to him the words "Swallow a hundred hairs with your belly, and create all things with your hands" engraved on it. Bishan nodded in understanding and bowed his hands in thanks. The hardships of his writing career tempered his will. Hard work paid off, and he finally gained a lot, eliminated the bad and retained the good, became unique and unique, and became better than his master. But things are dark. No matter how powerful the horse is, it can only be hidden in the swamp, not to mention that he doesn't want to be known and cause more trouble. For this reason, he often leads a wandering life, barely surviving on the meager wages received from his poor parents. A few tubes of fine hair and an inkstone accompanied him to visit the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland and visit the masters of painting. Once, he went to Beijing to visit the sights. Wang Gengyang from Xiaoli Village in Funing County went to Beijing to take the exam. Wang Gengyang heard that he was in Beijing, so he tried to find him, saying that his painting skills were not good, and asked him to paint one for him (at that time, the examination required three policy essays, two rhymed poems, and one painting scroll) to pass the test. Xu Bishan agreed, thinking of the laziness in his hometown. But unexpectedly, the painting was presented to the Empress Dowager Cixi by the flattering eunuch. The Queen Mother was full of praise after reading it and ordered Wang Gengyang to paint two more paintings. Wang Gengyang hurriedly went to the store to look for Xu Bishan, but failed. It turned out that Xu Bishan had returned to his hometown in Funing two days ago. Because the eunuch urged him too hastily, Wang Gengyang had no choice but to paint with all his strength. However, the painting skills were very different, and horses and cows are easy to understand. When Wang Gengyang was summoned to the palace for questioning, he had to tell the truth. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager Cixi turned her anger into joy and ordered Wang Gengyang to find Xu Bishan for her portrait. Xu Bishan listened to Wang Gengyang's explanation, sighed bitterly, and followed the king into the palace. A few days later, two other works by Xu Bishan were sent to the palace. Cixi was very happy when she saw the paintings. She announced Xu Bishan's admission to the palace and ordered him to paint her portrait. From then on, the signature of his paintings was changed from Bishan to "Yesterday Fei". Wang Gengyang won the title of Jinshi in the scientific examination and was promoted to Shanghai Road. He opened a mirror shop in Yuguan Town and asked Xu Bishan to paint the mirror. The landscape figures painted by Xu Bishan were so lifelike that officials and villagers rushed to buy them. Those who were lucky enough to buy them regarded them as rare treasures, carefully preserved them, and were proud of them.
Yang Desheng (1866-1941), a native of Qianshihe Village, Funing County, went to Shenyang with his father to engage in business when he was young.
At this time, the Jidong Shadow Puppetry Class was in Shenyang, and Yang became very interested in the shadow puppet art with strong local characteristics. He often went in and out of the studio to interact with people in the film industry. Over time, he was immersed in the art of sculpting and gradually gained an understanding of the sculpting skills of film people. Later, he decided to abandon business and pursue art, and began to practice sketching. Cutting patterns, thousands of headpieces, stamps, mount props and other patterns were born with his hard work and love. Then, he began to practice martial arts in the morning, dusk, cold and heat, concentrating on his art, and he could not lose his ambition no matter how hard he tried. After repeated guidance from famous people, his works gradually reached the level of high spirits and touching charm in terms of the perfection of the overall layout and the expression of the characters. It is praised by experts as a work of art with high aesthetic value. However, he never rested on his laurels, and his endless pursuit and exploration made his sword skills more and more proficient, and his compositions more refreshing without losing the charm of the Tangshan shadow puppet school with a long history and far-reaching influence. By the time Yang Desheng reached middle age, he had become quite accomplished in the art of shadow sculpture. He was known as a master of the Northern School and had a reputation of his own. His works are popular on JD.com and famous studios in Northeast China. All films produced by the famous film artist Li Xiu Studio are commissioned by Yang Desheng. Because of his smooth knife skills, rich decoration, exquisite craftsmanship, vivid shapes, typical and personalized works, his works are deeply welcomed by the film industry. In order to fully inherit and develop the unique style of Tangshan shadow puppet school, Yang Desheng is good at absorbing the strengths of many schools and integrating them, eliminating the bad and promoting the good. In his later years, he drew thousands of shadow figures and bound them into volumes. Unfortunately, most of them have been lost, leaving only a few baked pictures, which were purchased by the Municipal Art Museum for collection.
Wang Zeng (1873-1958), originally from Gaoyang County, Hebei Province, came to Funing with his grandfather Wang Juxian when he was 9 years old. The whole family lived in a small house and cooked pig heads as their occupation. At first, I cooked one or two a day. Through diligent study of technology and careful production, the taste became better and better, and sales increased greatly. Later, I cooked more than ten a day. Wang Juxian speaks with a Baoding accent. Every day he carries cooked meat to the foot of the Drum Tower and sells it: "Roast intestines, roast meat!" The locals can't hear the pronunciation of the word and misunderstand it as "fashionable meat." As time went by, people called him "Lao Mao", and the meat he cooked was named "Lao Mao Pork". After 1917, Wang Zeng inherited his grandfather's legacy and continued to open the "Lao Mao Butcher Shop". Because "Lao Mao Pork" is delicious and not greasy, it is highly praised by customers. Even Zhang Zuolin, the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun Army, often sent people to the pass to buy "Lao Mao Pork" as gifts for relatives and friends. Therefore, "Lao Mao Rou" is famous in the three northeastern provinces and Beijing and Tianjin. The processing and production of "Lao Mao Pork" is very particular. The meat is strictly selected, and the meat that is not fresh is not used, and the meat that is too fat is not used. It is washed carefully and no residual hair roots are left. The proportion of pork, pig head, and offal is appropriate to ensure the purity of the old soup.
Zhang Molin (1880-1958), courtesy name Yanqiao, was a native of Zhanggezhuang Qiaoxi, a left-behind camp township in this county. His family owned hundreds of acres of fertile land. His father was in business. In order to teach his son to become a talented person, he hired an old scholar as his father. Teacher, teaches Brother Mo Lin how to read and write poetry at home. Mo Lin loves painting. He started painting at the age of 12. By the age of 20, he was already well-known. He is especially good at painting flowers, birds, figures and landscapes. He has a good foundation in freehand brushwork. In terms of technique, he devoted himself to inheriting the fine tradition of landscape painting since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The "Hundred Butterflies" he drew is lifelike and unique in style, and is hailed as a masterpiece by the world. Mo Lin was good at words and memorization, but regarded money as dirt. In his youth, he began to travel around the Northeast and make a living by painting. In 1920, he visited Beijing and painted at the home of the postmaster. At that time, the postmaster's brother was studying art at the Beijing Art School. He was impressed by Zhang's landscape paintings and introduced Mo Lin to Mr. Qi Baishi, who was teaching at the Beijing Art School. Zhang was highly appreciated by Mr. Qi. Afterwards, at a press conference, Qi Baishi said when talking about Chinese painting schools: "The only person who can inherit the charm of the four kings of the Qing Dynasty is Zhang Mou (referring to Zhang Molin) in East Hebei."
Zhai Bingjun (1893-1973), also known as Jingxiu, courtesy name Qiting, was a native of Chengguan, this county. Zhai Bingjun studied at the "Southern School" in Funing City when he was a child, and later was admitted to the Third Normal School of Zhili Province. After graduation, he was employed as a teacher at the Funing County Higher Primary School.

Zhai Huo Bingjun lives in the city but often stays at the school, devoting all his energy to education.
He was financially strapped, but he tried his best to support poor students and buy books for them. In the severe cold winter, he often took students who were far away from school home and cooked rice and soup for them. Zhai Bingjun accepted advanced ideas and had the courage to go into society, preaching that both men and women should be literate, and openly challenging the feudal ethics that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue". In this school, he resolutely decided to combine classes for boys and girls in the same grade, resisting some so-called "indecent" comments, which was the first of its kind in the county. Under the leadership of Zhai Bingjun, Funing County Complete Primary School ranks among the best in the county in terms of culture, sports, and fine arts. The school's performance exhibition room is full of silver cups, silver shields, banners, award mirrors, and certificates. The provincial governor and county magistrate once awarded Zhai Bingjun personal certificates for being a “model teacher” and “good at running the school.” In 1941, Zhai Bingjun was promoted to the principal of Funing Junior High School. After taking office, he carefully formulated the school's development plan, hired teachers on the basis of merit, enriched teaching equipment, expanded the number of classes, and made the teaching work orderly and achieve remarkable results.

When he was young, he collected grass and firewood. When he was a little older, he worked as a hairdresser. Because of his passion for the traditional medicine of his motherland, he worked hard to study bone setting, massage, and eye disease treatment. After receiving the guidance of famous teachers and his own efforts to make progress, after a long period of arduous exploration, he finally reached the point of superb medical skills.
