Eight sages around Chaozhou and seven sages around Chaozhou are figures and historical events that Chaoshan people love to listen to music and Taoism. Many chaozhou people, who loved national history, wanted to know who the specific figures were and which dynasty they came from. However, due to the scarcity and difficulty in finding original materials, not many people know Zhou Xianghe accurately, and even make things up. In order to tell the truth and make Chaoshan people familiar with the ins and outs of this historical event, the following is a description of the specific celebrities, the reasons for their naming and the background of the dynasty. The original administrative domain name of Chaoshan area was Chaozhou House, which governed Haiyang, Chaoyang, Jieyang, Raoping, Chengxiang (now Meizhou), Huilai, Tai Po, Pingyuan, Chenghai, Puning, Zhenping (now Jiaoling) and other1/counties. It has a vast territory and a rich collection of people. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, culture has flourished and talented people have emerged in large numbers. In the Ming Dynasty, the sages who were promoted by imperial examinations were the most prosperous. Especially in the first year of Chongzhen (AD 1628), there were as many as eight Chen Wujinshi, known as the "Eight Sages of Chen Wu" in Chaozhou dialect. This is an unprecedented event in Chaozhou imperial examination history. In order to carry forward the glorious history of Chaozhou, the sages built an exquisite stone carving "Shi Sheng Yuankaifang" on the street of Chaozhou Fucheng, commonly known as "Eight Sages Pavilion", and engraved the names of eight sages in later generations. It's a pity that the pavilion was destroyed! Eight sages are: recommended by Gu Chao-Jieyang people. (Although Biography of Chaozhou House records that his hometown is Haiyang, he was admitted to Jieyang in the same year, so he was listed as a Jieyang person in the election list. ) Ministry officials give things, and it is too common to be tired of officials: Guo-Jieyang, official, Fujian, tired of official ceremony; Huang Qiyu-Jieyang native, edited by Guan Hanlin, tired of military history of official ceremony; Song Zhao-Jieyang, Guanren County, Zhi County; Li Shichun became Ren Xiang, the official magistrate of Quwo Yicheng County, was selected by imperial academy and served as assistant minister in the official department; Liang Yinglong-Rao Ping, Fujian official; Yang Rensi-Rao Ping, official to Qinshui county magistrate; Chen Xian, a native of Puning, is an official of Baoding Prefecture. In addition, another scholar, Lin, who was also admitted to Kedendi in the first year of Chongzhen and later settled in Puning, was not recognized as Nine Sages because he was originally from Zhangpu, Fujian and later entered Puning, and the Eight Sages Pavilion was not renamed as Nine Sages Pavilion. It can be seen that the ancients had strict standards when naming sages, emphasizing the origin of facts. However, although this is the first and only time in Chaozhou that the Eight Sages are ranked first in the list, it is certainly impossible for such a large state capital, such a Confucian scholar with a prosperous culture and a reputation of "Zou Lu on the seashore" to regard these eight sages as the first, the first or the only one. It turns out that in the 23rd year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1544), there were already seven sages in Chen Jia branch, and a "Seven Fang Jun" (commonly known as "Seven Sages Pavilion") was built at the east gate of Fucheng. However, the difference between July and August is asymmetrical, so it can't be called "the first seven sages and the last eight sages", and the age is too close, which doesn't mean that Chaozhou culture is prosperous for a long time, famous and noble. Therefore, Lin Wensheng, who loves the voice of the countryside, can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, when Han Yu was in the main tide, when he started an official school and hired Zhao De, a local rural sage, as a professor, and Zhao De was the first. Then, from the Song Dynasty, they listed five sages who were scholars with good political achievements or officials with good reputation. They abandoned their official positions regardless of their official career, leaving two hermit sages who inherited their father's footsteps to make up eight, which is called "eight". Before that, the eight sages were: Zhao De, a native of Haiyang, a scholar in the 13th year of Tang Daizong Dali (AD 778) and an official; Xu Shen-Chaoyang native, (Song) Zhenzong, Dazhong, Xiangfu, Zhenguan for three years (A.D. 10 16), virtuous, founder, Ying Jinshi, doctor of Ministry of Industry, communications envoy of Jiangnan East Road, doctor of punishments; Xun Lin, a native of Haiyang, (Song Dynasty) Ding Mao played the second plan in Renzong Tiansheng for five years (A.D. 1027), which was a countermeasure against dignitaries. After the share, the book was discussed, and the benevolence was different, and Xuzhou was awarded a grass. Don't abandon the official position, but also study in the south and write. Lv Dong, a native of Haiyang (Song Dynasty), was a scholar in the fifth year of Injong (A.D. 1053) and was the full-time prince of Zhonggong; Liu Yun, a native of Haiyang, was a philosopher in the Song Dynasty for four years (A.D. 1097). Ding Chou was a scholar with three grades, and Meizhou was an official in Huazhou. Zhang Kui-Raoping, in the eighth year of Zheng He (A.D.118), was playing the fourth scholar, and was the prefect of NSW. Wang Dabao was born in Haiyang (Southern Song Dynasty). In the second year of Emperor Gaozong Jianyan (A.D. 1 128), Wu Jiazheng played the first and the second, and was the official minister of the Ministry of Rites. Wu Fugu, a native of Jieyang, was a native of Haiyang. After his death, in the eighth year of Shaoxing (AD 1 138), Yongning, Yande and Chongyi towns were demolished and all moved to Jieyang County. Pengzhou, the birthplace of Wu Zhi, belongs to Jieyang, so the Qing government and county annals recorded him as a Jieyang native], a hermit, (Song) Shen Zongxi Ning (A.D. 100). From Zhao De, who ascended the throne in the 13th year of the Tang Dynasty (778), to Wang Dabao, who ascended the throne in the 2nd year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1 128), the eight sages spanned the middle of the Tang and Song Dynasties, with the last five generations: Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and Zhou, separated by seven dynasties, which lasted for more than 350 years. It is conceivable that the scarcity of wise men in those days can be described as "rare". The last eight sages are eight talents with the same surname in the gold list, which can explain the speed of cultural progress and the rapid growth of celebrities in Chaozhou. Re-discussion on the eight sages before and after Chaozhou were changed to seven sages before and after Chaozhou, because Chengxiang County, which Chaozhou belonged to, was placed under Jiaying Prefecture (now Meizhou City) in the tenth year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1 173). Therefore, Li Shichun, the last eight sages in Chaozhou, was divided and only counted as seven sages. The Chaozhou government of Sri Lanka only governs Haiyang, Chaoyang, Jieyang, Raoping, Huilai, Tai Po, Chenghai, Puning and Fengshun. Since the last eight sages have been transformed into seven sages, the first eight sages, except Zhao De, the first sage in the Tang Dynasty, will only be counted as the seven famous sages in the Song Dynasty, because there are too many dynasties and years between the Tang and Song Dynasties. From this point of view, the names of the eight sages before and after and the seven sages before and after were all named by the eight sages who ranked first on the same list in the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1628), not the two sages before and after, but the later sages. Among them, Lin Daqin is also known as the only literary champion in Chaozhou history. In the 11th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (AD 1532), he was appointed by palace examination, ranking among the eight sages before and after and seven sages before and after. It is the embodiment of Chaoshan culture and the ability of sages to reach the peak, and it is the glory of local Lin Wen sages, so it is called the intermediary top among the eight sages before and after, and the seven sages before and after. It is said that the last eight sages are not only the last seven sages except Li Shichun, but also the last seven sages. In the twenty-third year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1544), the seven sages of Chaozhou Prefecture ranked first: Lin Guangzu, a native of Jieyang, was an official to Guangxi; Zhang Xi, a native of Jieyang, was an official in Guangxi. Huang Guoqing-Jieyang native, official judge of Fujian Province; Guo-Jieyang people, official to Lin' an prefecture magistrate; Chen, a native of Jieyang, is an official in Fuzhou and knows everything. Su Zhiren, a native of Haiyang, was in charge of the official department and was promoted to Guangxi. Cheng Zixue-Haiyang people, official to four clean-ups. These seven sages are before the seven sages after Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty and after the first seven sages in Song Dynasty, that is, the seven sages in Chaozhou. Or together with the seven sages of Chen Wu branch, they are called: Chen Jia of Chaoshan in Ming Dynasty, and seven sages before and after Chen Wu. And because these two sages were appointed by palace examination, the imperial court before and after Chen Jia and Chen Wu in Ming Dynasty, they were more in line with the legal requirements of the imperial court, and they didn't need the evaluation of local officials, nor could they exclude any one at will. In addition, among the first seven sages in the Ming Dynasty, four sages also came from Jieyang, which, like the last seven sages, corresponds to the "Four Kings of Chen Wu" in Jieyang, and is further called: Four Kings of Jieyang in the Ming Dynasty, around Chen Wu. This shows the cultural prosperity and talent richness of Chaozhou Prefecture and Jieyang County.
