Song devoted all his life to the scientific investigation and research of agriculture and handicraft production, and collected a wealth of scientific data. At the same time, his advanced consciousness made him a thinker who criticized feudalism and medieval academic tradition.
Song's works and research fields involve different disciplines of natural science and humanities, among which the most outstanding work "Heavenly Creations" is known as "17th century China's craft encyclopedia".
Song Ying Xing was a scientist in the late Ming Dynasty in China. Forty-three years of Wanli (16 15) was held in the township. In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen (1643), he served as a teacher in Jiangxi, promoted to Tingzhou in Fujian in the eleventh year, and served as well-known in Bozhou, Anhui in the fourteenth year. After the death of Ming Chengzu, he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown. At that time, the commodity economy was highly developed and the production technology reached a new level. During his tenure in Fenyi, Jiangxi, he wrote a book called "Tiangong Kaiwu". Other works of the Song Dynasty, such as Ye Yi, Lun Qi, Tan Tian, Si and Hua, have been lost.

Song Ying Xing Statue
Song Ying Xing took the imperial examination at the age of 28 in the 43rd year of Wanli (A.D.1615). However, the next five attempts to go to Beijing failed. After five treks, he learned a lot. He said, "In Wan Li, you can't smell anything." . He found a lot of production knowledge in the fields and workshops. He despises "dude" and "home of literati" who "know their taste but forget their roots". During his tenure as Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Fenyi County, Jiangxi Province (1638 ~ 1654), he wrote "Tiangong Wu Kai". Describing this situation in the preface, he said, "What a pity! Want to buy strange research, but want to attract colleagues by asking for money. Business is a little fake and true, but I lack the Chen Si Museum. " (I don't have the money to verify, and I don't have the space to discuss the authenticity with people), so I have to "cook the lamp (prepare grass)" and write a book day and night, but "a great scholar, abandon his desk, this book has nothing to do with the progress of fame." In the seventh year of Chongzhen (A.D. 1634), he compiled a book called Heavenly Creations, which was published in the tenth year of Chongzhen (A.D. 1637). Later, he served as the magistrate of Tingzhou (now Changting County, Fujian Province) and Bozhou (now Bozhou, Anhui Province), and died in the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (around 166 1 year). Song Yisheng emphasized practical learning and opposed the attitude of literati who despised production. He expressed deep sympathy for the working people and was deeply dissatisfied with the government's oppression of the people.

In addition to Heavenly Creations, Song also wrote Ten Words, Return to the Original Sound, Essays and Original Consumption, most of which have been lost. In recent years, four lost versions of Song's works have been found in Jiangxi: Ye Yiben, Lun Qiben, Ben and Si Ben. Ye Yi is a work on current affairs, which exposes and criticizes the corruption in politics, economy, military affairs, ideology and culture in the late Ming Dynasty, and puts forward some reform ideas. Compassion poems include ten beautiful poems and forty-two pity poems, which reflect the author's feelings of cynicism and love for the people. On Qi and Talking about Heaven are both works about natural science. Judging from the titles of these two articles, they are probably some chapters in Ten Languages.

Tiangong Wu Kai
The title of "Heavenly Creations" is taken from the words "Heavenly Creations Take Their Place" and "Creations Make Things Work" in Yi Cohesion. The four words "excelling in nature and creating things" are a fusion of two ancient idioms: "excelling in nature" and "playing tricks on people by nature". The former idiom means that people can make beautiful things with their own intelligence and superb skills. The latter idiom means that if you master the laws of things, you can do things well. So, what is the general spirit of the merger of these two sentences? That is: as long as we enrich and improve our knowledge and skills, follow the law of the development of things and work hard, we can produce all kinds of articles needed for life, which are more exquisite than nature. The author says it is "the builder skillfully creates foreign objects" ("hardware"). According to the meaning of "valuing five grains over precious stones", the book is divided into Naili (grain), Naifu (textile), Zhang Shi (printing and dyeing), Jing (grain processing), salt making (salt making), Gan (sugar) and paste (preface). Including a number of technologies handed down from generation to generation by the process department at that time, accompanied by a large number of illustrations, indicating key processes and describing various actual data in production (such as accurate to the weight of money and accurate to the length of inches).
The book "Heavenly Creations" describes in detail the types, origins, production technologies and equipment of various crops and industrial raw materials, as well as some production organization experiences, with a large number of exact data and 123 illustrations. The book is divided into three volumes, and is subdivided into eighteen volumes. The first volume records the planting and processing methods of grain, beans and hemp, the spinning and dyeing techniques of silk cotton and ramie, and the production process of salt and sugar. The contents of the book include the production of bricks and ceramics, the construction of vehicles and boats, the casting and forging of metals, the mining and firing of coal, lime, sulfur and alum, and the methods of oil extraction and paper making. The second volume describes the mining and smelting of metal minerals, the manufacture of weapons, the production of pigments and koji, and the collection and processing of jade beads.
Most of China's knowledge of ancient physics is scattered in various technical books, such as Wu Kai in Tiangong. Such as water lifting tools (trucks, beaches, windmills), rudder, pouring steel, clay casting kettle, lost wax casting, methods of removing coal mine gas, brine absorber (pump) in salt wells, melting extraction methods and so on. In addition, Song profoundly expounded the causes and fluctuations of sound in On Qi, and he also pointed out that the sun is constantly changing, taking today as yesterday's day, carving a boat to seek a sword (talking about the sky).
The value of folded works
His works have precious historical and scientific value. For example, in Hardware, Song was the first scientist in the world to discuss zinc and copper-zinc alloy (brass) scientifically. He clearly pointed out that zinc is a new metal and recorded its smelting method for the first time. This is one of the important achievements in the history of ancient metal smelting in China. China has long been the only country in the world that can smelt zinc on a large scale. The method of extracting brass with zinc instead of zinc compound (calamine) in Song Dynasty is the earliest record of obtaining brass by direct melting of copper and zinc in human history.
In particular, Song paid attention to discovering essence from common phenomena and made some achievements in natural science theory.
First of all, in biology, he recorded the case of farmers cultivating new varieties of rice and barley in Wu Kai of Tiangong, studied the influence of soil, climate and cultivation methods on the variety change of crops, and noticed the variation caused by the hybridization of different varieties of silkworm moths, indicating that the variety characteristics of animals and plants can be changed through human efforts, and obtained the scientific view that "soil veins change at any time, and species are divided by water and soil".
In physics, the newly discovered book Qi and Qi Sound is an outstanding chapter in acoustics. Through the concrete analysis of various acoustics, Song studied the law of sound generation and propagation, and put forward the concept that sound is air waves.

Early experience of folding
Illustration of heavenly creations
Song was born in a scholarly family. His great-grandfather Song Jing (1476- 1547) was buried in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi (1505). He was a political envoy in Shandong, a political envoy in Shanxi, a minister of industry in Nanjing and a minister of industry in Nanjing. He entered the Imperial Academy of the Capital, Zuodu Yushi (Grade II), and died as a gift from Prince Shaobao and an official minister. In order to be an honest official, he once carried out the reform policy of "one whip method", which was called "the wind of ancient officials" in history and had a great influence on the descendants of the Song Dynasty. Song's grandfather Cheng Qing (1522-l547) is the third son of Song Jing. He is very talented, ambitious and enterprising. He was born in a city (scholar) and died young, but he didn't pay the price for his ambition.
The only survivor is aloof (1547— 1629), Song's father. Song Guo Lin is an orphan. She was taken care of by her mother Gu and Shu Heqing (1524—1611). He has been a scholar for 40 years and has never been an official. Song has four sons, the eldest son Ying Sheng (1578- 1646), the second son (1582- 1629), the third son and the youngest son Ying Jing (1590). )。 Among them, Ying Sheng was born by Wei (1555— 1632). From Song Jing to Song Chengqing, the Song family was still prosperous, but in the Song Dynasty, the family gradually declined.
The ancestors of the Song Dynasty used their real names as bears before the Yuan Dynasty (1260- 1368). During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties (1960s-1970s), Xiong Defu worked as a servant in Fengcheng, Nanchang, and married into the local Song family. In order to avoid the mutiny, he changed his wife's surname to Song and moved to the coast of Dongyaxi (now flowing water) in Fengxin County. After the Ming Dynasty, Song Defu and his descendants settled in the south bank of Yaxi in Fengxin North Township for generations. After Song Defu's family settled in Yaxi, when the government encouraged reclamation in the early Ming Dynasty, they developed nearby land, planted Sang Ma, rice and engaged in sericulture, and gradually became business landlords.
Song Defu spread to Song Di's family in the following five generations, and made a fortune by managing land and raising silkworms. Song Jing (1476— 1547), the son of Song Dijia, was born in Yinxian County and named Nantang, and was a scholar in 1505. He has participated in Shandong politics, Shanxi Zuobuzheng, Nanjing Ministry of Industry Shangshu transferred to Ministry of War Shangshu, and entered the capital Douchayuan Zuodu Shi Yu (positive secondary). He is an honest official, and once implemented the reform policy of "one whip method". His family was overshadowed, and the Song family became a bureaucratic landlord family.
Song Jing has five sons, and the third son, Song Chengqing (1522— 1547), is Song's grandfather. Song Chengqing, whose real name is Zheng Tao, studied in this county since childhood. He was well-read, married Huang in Longtan and Gu in Niwan, and gave birth to Song (1547- 1629), the father of Song. Song Chengqing died young at the age of 27, leaving only a lonely Song. Song Guo Lin, whose word is Rurun, was born in Juchuan. He lost his father before he was one year old and was taken care of by his mother. Later, he was taken care of by his uncle Song Heqing (1524-1611), and he was a scholar all his life. From Song Jing to Song Chengqing, the Song family was still a prosperous mansion, with the style of courtier mansion, but by Song Dynasty, the family was gradually depressed.
Song Guolin has four sons, and the eldest son is Song Yingsheng (1578— 1646), which is a literary talent. The second son, Song (1582- 1629), has a font size of Gan Shijia. He was born in this county, not an official. The third son, Song Ying, was born to Wei (1555— 1632); The youngest son, Song Yingjing, was born to Wang, a deputy gongsheng, and later moved to the county seat. When Song was a child, he and his eldest brother Song Yingsheng studied in a family school run by his great-uncle. Song Heqing, a scholar in the middle of A.D. 1569, was born in Anji, Zhejiang, and was granted tongzhi. He entered Liuzhou, Guangxi, and soon resigned and returned to Li, where he started his education. Then, the two brothers joined the family uncle Song Guozuo and went to school with their nephews Song Shikui and Song Shida.
When Song was young, he studied poetry, Confucian classics and feudal orthodox education. Song likes traveling, traveling with his brother Song Yingsheng and others in partnership, in Lion Mountain in the north of the county seat and Wangyue Mountain 50 miles northwest. The Song family has a large property in the southern port of Grey. Baizhang Mountain, west of the county seat 120, is the highest mountain in the county seat. There are places of interest such as Baizhang Temple on the mountain, and there are poems inscribed by literati since the Tang and Song Dynasties. The east side of North Lane is newly built, where there are relatives and friends of the Song family. 80 miles further east is Nanchang, the provincial capital. Song Ying Xing was very clever since he was a child, and he was able to write poems when he was a few years old. He has a photographic memory and is very popular with teachers and elders.
Later, Song Ying-kai in this county, his uncle Song (Song, Geng Zi), his nephew and Liao Bangying were studying in the newly-built juren Deng Zhiming (1558- 1638). Later, Song was admitted to the county to study, and he was familiar with the Thirteen Classics and historical books of past dynasties, and a hundred schools of thought contended. In the aspect of philosophy, Guan Xue written by Zhang Zai (1020-1077) was highly praised by Song Dynasty.
Zhang Zai was born in Hengqu Town, Fengxiang County, Northern Song Dynasty (now Meixian County, Shaanxi Province). A.D. 1057 Jinshi, Xining (1068- 1077) original Chongwen Academy book. Soon, he retired to the foot of Nanshan and taught all the students. Scholars call him Mr. Hengqu. As a Guanzhong native, he called his school Guan Xue. In the past, Zhou (Dunyi), Cheng (Hao, Yi), Zhang (Zai) and Zhu () were called the same, but Zhang Zai opposed Zhou and Cheng, and Zhu regarded "Li" as the origin of all things, and put forward that emptiness is Qi, and Qi is the entity that fills the universe. Due to the accumulation and dispersion of qi, various things are formed. It is a simple materialist factor to admit that matter exists before spirit. Song Ying Xing accepted the materialistic view of nature from Zhang Zai's Guan Xue. Song is interested in astronomy, acoustics, agriculture and technical manufacturing.
In A.D. 1603, Xia Conscience, Governor of Jiangxi Province, published and engraved Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in Nanchang House. Song Ying Xing was familiar with this book, which inspired him to write Heavenly Creations later. Song Ying Xing also likes music and poetry. The main time and energy of Song youth were basically spent on taking the imperial examination.
16 15, Song and Song Yingsheng went to Nanchang, the provincial capital, to take the provincial examination. There are more than 10,000 candidates taking the provincial examination in Jiangxi this year, but only 109 was selected. Song ranked third, Song Yingsheng ranked sixth, and only Song and his brother were among the best in Fengxin County, so people at that time called them "Fengxin Ersong".
The Song brothers were greatly encouraged by having won the provincial examination. That autumn, they went to the capital (now Beijing) to take the exam for the second year. However, they both fell from Sun Shan. Song's brother decided to take the exam next time. In order to prepare for the exam, they went to the ancient Bailudong Academy in Jiujiang, Jiangxi for further study. The famous scholar Shu (1558- 1636) was the owner of this cave.
Shu, with straight word, was a scholar from Nanchang, and was a scholar in 1592. He is an accomplished educator. His students Tu Shaozhuo, Wan Shihua, Xu Shibo, Liao Bangying and others later became famous scholars in Jiangxi.
16 19, my brother Song and my uncle Gan went to Beijing to take the exam, but the two brothers still failed, but they thought they could succeed for the third time.
In A.D. 1623, Song's younger brother failed the exam in Beijing for the third time.
In A.D. 1627, Song's younger brother failed the exam in Beijing for the fourth time.
In A.D. 163 1 year, the Song brothers failed in the fifth college entrance examination in Beijing.
At this time, Song was 45 years old and Song Yingsheng was 54 years old. Their precious young and middle-aged time was spent on the imperial examination, and they never thought about it. Although Song's five trips to Beijing failed, these five trips to Wan Li were not meaningless. During these long trips, he broadened his horizons and expanded his social knowledge. Along the way, they passed many cities and villages in Jiangxi, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong and Hebei provinces. Along the way, he had the opportunity to investigate a lot of agricultural and handicraft production technology knowledge from the working people in the fields and workshops, and prepared for later writing books such as Heavenly Creations. Without these experiences, it is difficult for him to write these works.
On several trips to Beijing, Song Ying Xing also heard and witnessed the social reality in the late Ming Dynasty. These situations are not easy to understand in books. Only by making a detailed social investigation at the grassroots level can we truly observe and experience many decadent social phenomena in the late Ming Dynasty and master the Fengxin Song Yingxing Memorial Hall.
More practical information. At this time, social contradictions intensified, especially the contradiction between farmers and the landlord class, land annexation intensified, taxes were heavy, and farmers' resistance struggles continued to occur. The contradiction between urban residents and feudal rulers has also intensified, which is the first time in the history of China. There were many contradictions within the ruling clique of the Ming Dynasty, but Song Like Ying Xing, who had real talent and practical knowledge, was not admitted, which showed that the imperial examination itself was full of corruption. These are reflected in many of his political articles.
Song learned from the painful lessons of many failed exams that it is not enough to bury oneself in reading all one's life and lack practical knowledge. He finally made up his mind to give up the imperial examination, turned to practical learning, and studied science and technology that had practical relations with the national economy and people's livelihood, and began an important turning point in his life. After realizing these truths in practice, Song used the original cultural knowledge to consult the workers and peasants humbly, and recorded the knowledge about industrial and agricultural production technology in time, and finally wrote the immortal magnificent scientific masterpiece "Heavenly Creations".
Folding as a county school instruction
In A.D. 1604, the Song brothers had their own families and separated, and the property of the Song family was dismantled. I also spent a lot of money on several trips to Wan Li, getting married and having children, increasing family expenses, and the economic situation is not as good as in the past. Staying at home all day is not a long-term solution. Therefore, Song decided to seek a public office in the society, and then used this to show his desire to learn practical knowledge.
In A.D. 1632, Song Yingsheng, Song's elder brother, was a county magistrate in Tongxiang, Zhejiang. But before long, their mother Wei died, and Song Yingsheng buried her mother at the end of the pond in her hometown, so they "kept the system" at home according to the customs of feudal society. In A.D. 1634, Song became the educational inspector of Yuanzhou County. Yingsheng was transferred to Enping County, Zhaoqing District, Guangdong Province. Because of his political achievements, he was sealed as a writer. Fenyi county is in the southwest of Fengxin, passing through the high road in the middle, not too far. There are twenty students in the county school, and the Oracle is a junior official in the civil government. Song Yingxing held this position until A.D. 1638.
When Song was appointed as the Oracle, he was similar to the teacher in the school where we don't work now. After teaching, he has more leisure time and access to some books and materials, which provides conditions for him to engage in writing. Song made full use of this time, according to the previous investigation, and then found the necessary reference materials, engaged in extremely tense writing work.
1636 In March, with the support of Ling Cao of Fenyi County, Song completed the Collection of Yan Hong's Political Essays and published it.
Ye Yi reflects the political and economic thoughts of Song Dynasty, which was written overnight. Because Song was not a DPRK official, it was called Song.
The purpose of Ye Yi written by Song Dynasty was to save the political and economic crisis faced by the society in the late Ming Dynasty, and put forward a series of reform measures, hoping to control the chaos and turn the crisis into safety, which reflected Song's patriotic thought of caring about the future of the country and the destiny of the nation. Emperor Chongzhen's political reform can be said to be Song's wish.
Song advocated reducing the people's exorbitant taxes, demanding that corrupt officials in the military and political affairs be removed and replaced by officials who are honest and clean and serve the country. So that workers and peasants can have plenty of food and clothing, businessmen can be profitable, the poor have the opportunity to take the imperial examination, and people from all walks of life can have their own jobs. Then, the national luck may be saved by developing agriculture, industry and commerce in an all-round way, raising troops and practicing martial arts. There are many incisive views in the book: for example, it is believed that social wealth is created by labor, and to increase social wealth, we must vigorously develop agriculture and industry and provide rich labor products. The contribution of Song's wealth view to Principles of Economics. Because "Ye Yi" was written overnight, it is slightly inferior in words.
At the same time, Song edited and published his collection of poems "Regret for the Past". There are 52 poems of thinking about compassion, which are divided into two parts: poems of thinking about beauty and poems of compassion for fools. Song Ying Xing took the first few words of the two volumes and named them Poems of Sorrow. Four sisters' poems 10 are all seven sentences, and 42 poor fools' poems are all seven sentences.
Regret for the Past mainly reflects Song's outlook on life and expresses his views on the value and significance of life in the form of literature. Song Ying Xing created two kinds of typical characters in his poems, one is to praise beauty, the other is to satirize beauty. He inherited the poetic tradition of the New Yuefu Movement advocated by Bai Juyi (772-846), a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, and advocated that writing poems should expose the shortcomings of current politics, reflect social reality and inspire people.
Song also wrote two books, Returning the Sound of Painting to Correct, and Original Consumption, but both books have been lost. Painting Sound to the Right is a work on phonology and music theory, which is similar to the content of Music Law. In addition to similar content, Yuan also talked about "small things" such as Sang Ma and leather.
In A.D. 1637, Song published the most important book in his life, Heavenly Creations. Song Ying Xing wrote a preface in the frontispiece of Heavenly Creations, which said: In recent years, there has been a book called Heavenly Creations. What a pity! I want to buy exotic books and articles for textual research, but I am short of money. I want to attract my peers. Shang Lue is fake, but there is no museum of Chen Sizhi. Is it worthwhile to write it out and hide it in all directions with my humble opinion? My friend, Mr. Tu Boju, moved the sky sincerely and was open-minded. The beauty of ancient and modern times, long and desirable, must be diligent and appropriate. Last year's "Painting Sound Back to Right" was awarded by Teacher Zi. I have an afterlife, and I will take this roll and continue to do it. This is also the call of fate! Before and after dividing the paper, it means "your grain is precious and your gold is precious". These two volumes, Guan Xiang and Lv Yue, are too fine, which is none of my business, so I deleted Linzi. Beggar literati, abandon the desk! This book has nothing to do with fame and progress. When he was in Chongzhen, Ding Chou and Meng, he wrote a book "Asking for Family Food" in Fengxin Song Ying Xing.
Fold to serve the new song
Fengxin is located in Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, where the style of writing flourished in the Ming Dynasty. When Song was a child, he and his brother answered the phone and studied in his uncle's home school. Song Heqing has been a scholar in Qin Long for three years (1569). Zhejiang Anji granted Tongzhi and Guangxi Liuzhou was sentenced. A few days later, he resigned and returned to Li, where he established an education. Song studied at home with his uncle Song Guozuo and later with the newly-built Juren Deng (1558- 1638). Fengxin
Song was clever since childhood, and he memorized "how old he can rhyme" (writing poems), and he never forgets anything, which was deeply loved by teachers and elders. A little longer, he was admitted to the county school as a student, familiar with the classics, and a hundred schools of thought contended. In the Song Dynasty, Cheng Yi, Cheng Hao, Zhou Dunyi, Zhu and Zhang Zai were the four great masters, and he advocated Zhang Zai alone and accepted the materialistic view of nature.
He is very interested in astronomy, acoustics, agriculture and technological manufacturing, and has read Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica (1596) and other books. Besides, I like music and poetry. He often goes to the scenic spots in this county with his classmates and friends, urging each other to write poems, encouraging each other and chatting about what's going on in the world. In the forty-third year of Wanli (16 15), Song and his brother should be promoted to Nanchang, the provincial capital, to take the compulsory subject after having obtained the rural examination. Among more than 10,000 candidates, 29-year-old Song won the third place in the province, and his brother ranked sixth. Among all the students in Fengxin, only their brothers are among them, so they are called "Fengxin Ersong".
Publication of folded works
Encouraged by the success of having obtained the provincial examination, the Soong brothers went to the capital (now Beijing) in that autumn to take the next year's Chen Bing subject examination, but failed in Sun Shan. They decided to try again next time. In order to prepare for the exam, Song Yingsheng, Song and others went to the ancient Bailudong Academy in Jiujiang, Jiangxi for further study. At that time, Shu (1558- 1636) was a famous scholar and the owner of the cave. Shu Rijing, a native of Nanchang, was a scholar in the 20th year of Wanli (1592). He is an accomplished educator. "All the famous ministers and officials came out from his home at one time.".
The forty-seventh year of Wanli (16 19) was the last year of Zongshen's administration. Song's brother and other candidates from Jiangxi met in Beijing, but the two brothers still didn't arrive. Later, I tried again in the Apocalypse and the early years of Chongzhen, all of which failed, and then I gave up the idea of imperial examination. In the fourth year of Chongzhen (163 1), Song Yingsheng was appointed as the magistrate of Tongxiang County, Zhejiang Province by the official department, and Song returned to his hometown to serve his mother. In the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635), Song was appointed as a scholar in Fenyi County, Yuanzhou. Professors and students are faculty members who have no abortion. That year, his brother Song Yingsheng was transferred to Enping County, Zhaoqing District, Guangdong Province. Because of his political achievements, he was sealed as a writer. Song Ying Xing taught in Fenyi County for four years, which was an important stage in his life, because all his major works were published during this period.
Fold your career life
In the 11th year of Chongzhen (1638), Song Fenyi was promoted to the official position of Tingzhou Prefecture in Fujian after his term of office expired. He is an official under the provincial observer, in charge of a prison, commonly known as the execution hall, also known as the manager. Before his term of office expired, he resigned in the 13th year of Chongzhen (1640) and surrendered to Li. In the sixteenth year (1643), Ren Nanzhi (now Fuyang, Anhui) was well-known in Fengyang (five products), but it was worth the death of the Ming Dynasty. After Song Yingxing came to power, the country was destroyed by the war and there was no place to go to worship, so many officials fled. After several efforts to rebuild, he made it take shape and donated money to set up a college in the city. At the beginning of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Song resigned and returned to Fengxin. In March of that year, Li Zicheng's army captured the capital and the Ming Dynasty perished. In April, the Qing soldiers entered the customs, established the capital, and the Song Dynasty perished. In May of Shen Jianian, the first year of Hong Guang, Axe King established Nanming regime in Nanjing. In the Southern Ming Dynasty, Song was recommended as the Governor of Chuhe River and Nanrui (a kind of regional governor between provinces and states), but Song resigned. Before the Ming Dynasty, Song Yingsheng had been promoted to the magistrate of Guangzhou. After the Ming dynasty, I had no love for the official, so I hung the crown and returned to Li.
The brothers of the Song Dynasty pinned their hopes on Nan Ming, but this regime was dominated by eunuch Ruan Dacheng and ruled out Zhongliang, and the regime soon perished. Qing soldiers went south to take Jiangxi, and Song Yingsheng was poisoned on 1646. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Song lived in seclusion, lived in poverty and refused to be an official. He died in the fifth year of Kangxi (1666) at the age of 80. After his death, he left two sons. The eldest son was born quietly, and the second son was born sincerely. Both of them are literary talents and are called "Shuangyu". Before his death, Song taught his descendants not to take the imperial examination and not to be an official. All descendants can follow the teachings of their parents and grandparents and study in their hometown with peace of mind. By the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty (1796-1820), all his descendants had become poor peasants.
