A Study Of Poems Written By Wang Shipeng Reflecting His Career In Quanzhou

Wang Shipeng’s official career was an important part of his official career.Starting from the poems written by him in Quanzhou,this paper thoroughly studies the source version of those poems,and after textual research on its inclusion and correction of doubts and errors,defines the poems and determines the scope of Shiquan’s poems.By combing and analyzing the poems and articles,we can explore Wang Shipeng’s political activities,sightseeing and his relationships during that period.The first chapter discusses the background of Wang Shipeng’s official in Quanzhou and his poems on his way to Quanzhou.In his later years,Wang Shipeng was appointed to Quanzhou,which could not be separated from his experience as an official and his ability to govern the county,and also from the important position of Quanzhou’s status at that time.These two aspects together constituted Wang Shipeng’s career as an official in Quanzhou.Wang Shipeng was appointed to go to Quanzhou,and his preparation for coming to the spring,his mood,his time,route,his experiences on the way and his imagination of Quanzhou can be seen in his poems,which constitute Wang Shipeng’s poems on his way.After combing and analyzing the contents of his poems as a whole,we can observe the state and mood of Wang Shipeng in Quanzhou.When he is old and sick,and his wife is ill and lonely,he still insists on good governance.He has the political consciousness of honesty and self-discipline,and is well versed in officialdom,and pays attention to cultivating talents and educating officials.The second chapter discusses Wang Shipeng’s poems about governing the city.His achievements in governing the county in Quanquan include political achievements and enlightening people’s customs and education.He rebuilt the North Building,prayed for rain for disaster,personally went out to the suburbs to persuade farmers,cared for people’s livelihood,prayed for wind for ships,founded Gongyuan,and attached importance to education.Also,the political achievements in Quan can be seen in his poems about Shi Quan,which together constitute Wang Shipeng’s poems about Quanzhou and governing the county by rectifying the official style,building temples and worshipping sacrifices,establishing loyalty and filial piety,and advocating the people to be compassionate and enlightened.The third chapter discusses the traces of Wang Shipeng’s visit to pay tribute to the sages,and combs the situation of Wang Shipeng’s visit to the mountains and rivers,which covers all the mountains and rivers,lakes,birdge,Buddhist temples and county gardens in Quanzhou.Therefore,we can analyze and summarize Wang Shipeng’s regional impression of Quanzhou,including landform features,climate features,unique scenery and cultural atmosphere of "the ancient name of Buddha country".The fourth chapter discusses Wang Shipeng’s poems about relationship in Quanzhou,and investigates Wang Shipeng’s situation of making friends.His friends in Quanzhou can be divided into three categories: colleagues in this city,old and new friends and monks and nuns outside the country.Among the colleagues,Wang Shipeng has a close relationship with “Zhizong” and “Tibo”,focusing on the discussion.The fifth chapter is based on the first four chapters.After combing the contents of Shi Quan’s poems as a whole,we can summarize Wang Shipeng’s situation of Quanzhou and personality paradigm: focusing on the mentality of being old and tired of being an official,making friends with friends and concentrating on the chapter,and adapting his mentality.Under the circumstances of being old and worried,and being tired of being an official and homesick,Wang Shipeng can still adhere to good governance,which reflects his lofty spirit paradigm of scholar-officials: having a political consciousness of honesty and self-discipline,being an official,paying attention to cultivating talents,and being well versed in officialdom.This kind of official ambition,who is in the ruling and opposition parties but always insists on caring for the country and loving the people,is unswerving,so as to outline the political map and life picture of Wang Shipeng Shiquan.
